I somehow had never heard Dancing In The Club before this moment, and now it’s pretty clearly my top song of the year

I’m genuinely shocked this was a college assignment rather than something turned in at a Christian middle school. And I say this as someone who churned out nearly identical shit on the Christian apologetics website I maintained in 7th grade.

Yes, not voting for Biden in the primary certainly caused Trump to beat *checks notes* Kamala Harris in the *checks notes* general election

I know these just happen to be going wide in the same week, but I love the idea of pairing these around the concept of “How do you stretch a scarcity of raw materials into a feature length film”

Probably my most pleasant surprise at Cannes this year, in terms of my feeling going in vs the high I felt as I left

I was at that show and am jealous!

Just scrolled through the comments, and YIKES. Such a nasty pile-on, in defense of a quirky movie, on a review that wasn’t particularly scathing! I have to assume there’s some celebrity worship at play here, summoning Elordi fans who have no interest in criticism?

I feel like this stems from the way lefty candidates (here and abroad) have been brought down by baseless claims of antisemitism in the past. The commentariat are so burned by that, now they’re digging in their heels for a guy with literal Nazi tatts. A crazy overcorrection!

It comes up briefly in the movie!
