A ★★★ review of Hounded (2001) This is probably one of the silliest and goofiest Disney Channel Original Movies I've seen, which makes sense seeing as it's directed by one of the writers of "Police Academy" and "Bachelor Party." Al...

Shia LaBeouf plays one of the main antagonists in "Hounded" like an evil Louis Stevens. So, basically regular Shia LaBeouf, including the plagiarism. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

48. 28 Years Later the Bone Temple (2026). Good. While a step down from the last movie, it's still intense and interesting enough to work. Can be dull and places and not as emotionally engaging. But yeah, still good.

Setting aside the world going haywire for a moment to celebrate #Firebuds winning a @glaad.bsky.social award last night for our Mother's Day episode! So proud of the cast and crew for giving their all in making a show that highlighted inclusivity and diversity. 🏳️‍🌈🔥❤️

Okay, we can go home now. Donald Trump and his administration killed the font meme.

I love this discussion from Seth MacFarlane about the need for optimism and suggesting possible solutions to problems.

I have little patience for people who can only mope and go "welp, the world is ending" without offering solutions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hhh...

A ★★★★★ review of Singin' in the Rain (1952) "Joyous" is probably the most appropriate word to describe "Singin' in the Rain." The idea to use songs from the first decade or so of talkies for a musical about the transition to talkies was ingenio...

The book it was based on is the 1st in a trilogy so it actually makes sense here

I find it horrifying when writers brag about using AI to write stories knowing full well that the only way we evolved as people was through storytelling, it’s what formed society and taught us who we are and how to love and you all just want to throw our literal humanity away cause you can

PANEL 1: Text that reads, "Chris Sanders will write, but not direct The Wild Robot 2..." next to a picture of a guy looking disappointed at what he's seeing.

PANEL 2: PANEL 1: Text that reads, "...instead, one of the directors of Nimona will direct The Wild Robot 2." next to a picture of the same guy, but now he's happy with what he's seeing.

I was a bit disappointed at first, but then I looked more into the news and I see now the sequel will be in great hands.

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI.

“I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”

47. The Bling Ring (2013). Decent. It's fun enough and Emma Watson is good which carries it okay despite feeling aimless and being oddly poorly shot at times.

People On Reddit Are Sharing The Book That Turned Them Into "Readers" From kids classics to popular fiction, this list is noteworthy!

Always an honor to see #Animorphs pop up in articles like this. As a former reluctant reader myself, it truly means a lot. (For me, the answer would be CHARLOTTE'S WEB.) ❤️
