its so crazy that modern star trek fumbled so hard in the wake of game of thrones. theatre actors doing epic monologues in plots that are 85% meetings had never been so hot. the goal was wide open. and then they made star trek picard
Debates over whether Marvel or DC has the best shared comics universe miss out the one clear winner: Hellboy and the Mignolaverse.
I got to write about how Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth and its color palette helped me better understand movies!
Here's how Guillermo del Toro's acclaimed 2006 film Pan's Labyrinth helped to reveal a universal language of images and color.

The rise of right-wing media is because the rich funded it. The fall of legacy media is because the rich funded it and then decided not to.
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

In the 1990s, religion was not a common theme in superhero cartoons. But X-Men: The Animated Series used Nightcrawler to address the topic in a thoughtful way.
People are review bombing STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY, and I have some thoughts about that

This *really* sucks. Teen Vogue has consistently had some of the best political coverage of the last several years. They are one of the few outlets that met the moment. (Hire these writers!!)
I am just a little bit of a media historian, but I've read enough to say that I think this has a pretty easy explanation: there was a time where if you wanted to be a movie exec you had to socially succeed with other movie people; now you have to socially succeed with finance and tech bros.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
Oscar on set (honoring Wrightson)
while studios were fighting unions on every possible dime craftspeople could earn, they were spending $100m on this trash

The problem with classic movies is that too few of them frame the actors as tiny figures dwarfed by a Mac OS screensaver.
I've long said if the Democratic Party wants to run candidates who believe in nothing and peddle corporate-friendly schlock the candidate has to at least be Cool. But most people can't be Barack Obama so it's better to just believe in something and be authentic about it. You can't be boring AND fake
The 2025 Emmy Awards nominated several big-name shows for Best Limited Series, but it overlooked Say Nothing, which was the best of the potential contenders.
Did a LOT of reflecting to try and surmise my thoughts on Lazarus beyond its story being half baked. It's no Bebop, and the marketing that set it up to be that didn’t help. It is fascinating to see an old head tackle a present issue, and its OST is a bop fwiw.

We've gotta bloody the likes of Gillibrand, Gillen, Suozzi, Goldman nice and early over their Islamophobic Zohran bullshit and it's gotta leave a mark. The fash is going to be beyond vile during this race, and squishes on the blue side of the aisle have to learn what happens to traitors
