Oh don't worry, most people thought Shakespeare In Love beating Saving Private Ryan was one of the Academy's biggest fuck ups and has fallen in relative obscurity. No need to tell people to forget it, it's been forgotten.
A new film, adapted from Maggie O'Farrell's 2020 novel, posits that the death of Shakespeare's 11-year-old son may have inspired one of the greatest fictional tragedies ever written.

Fuck Rick Sanchez(not the cartoon) for normalizing Twitter as a rational barometer for social temperature. 21%? Why do 1/5th of just adults have such outsized staying power in MSM? Obviously because they benefit from the outrage.
Also fuck him for going on an antisemitic screed.

Cronenberg also played the iconic villain in Clive Barker's Nightbreed, a film that is a deep allegory for gay and alternative communities.
Never forget that the director of The Fly played a small recurring guest character that originated in Star Trek Enterprise who also somehow owns Siskos baseball from DS9 nearly 1000 years into the future.

The protagonist of Predator: Badlands has a similar narrative arc to the hero of Hundreds of Beavers, encountering trap after organic trap in a dangerous land before figuring out how to use those perils to his advantage. #filmsky 📽

Capitalism is so broken. Always framing this shit from an economic perspective as a default.
Family size around the world is dropping. That choice by couples is triggering a population shift that's sending shock waves through economies.

Of course, the Lore does paint Spartans as the enemy to the outer colonies' independent movement until the Covenant post-hoc justifies their creation. The Spartan allegory does not paint ICE in the best light.
@mjgault.bsky.social joined me to talk about DHS using Halo imagery and comparing immigrants to the Flood, an invasive species of parasites from the games, recruit for ICE:

Finally saw Metropolis 1927 and I can't get this idea out of my head about how there needs to be an Egger's Nosferatu style remake that combines the stories of the original and the 2001 Anime film. I think Metropolis needed a Kenichi type character and Freder should've been an unrepentant fascist.

No, see. Hakeem knows he is just so incredibly unpopular that Zohran would instantly drop 10pts if he endorsed him.
Asked why he's refused to endorse Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I have not refused to endorse; I have refused to articulate my position"

It's weird to realize Sony never backed a dominant media format (outside of Japan). Blu-Rays never replaced DVD market share, and by the time the format was making gains, digital took over. Even consoles didn't make much of a dent in the mass adoption of Blu-Ray.
