I shan’t rank the original Star Trek movies because actually my contrarian opinion is that Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a transcendent spiritual experience about humanity’s place in the vastness of the cosmos and comparing it to Wrath of Khan is like comparing ice cream to pizza

TRUE BUT TOO OBVIOUS
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Dark Knight
Across the Spider-Verse
Batman Returns
Return of the Jedi

my most controversial choice would be that Back to the Future III is actually my favorite!

100% co-sign Frozen 2 and Last Crusade. would also add:

Guardians of the Galaxy II
Incredibles 2
Star Trek: Beyond
Kong: Skull Island

this is a correct opinion

Older Kid Being Patient, you are also so precious to me

(I have watched this four times)

the classic “I Am Small and Don’t Quite Understand How the Top and Bottom Halves Of My Body Fit Together Yet” energy of that kick that almost capsizes him also really got me

HELP his lil hands too short for his sleeves 🥹🥹🥹 A TINY FIGHTY ANGEL

there are a hilarious mix of Brits and Americans in this cast and I desperately want to be watching it with Alice

someone has children named Mimi and Amadeus

SHE HAS PET RHINOS??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????

this show is already nuts

a biracial woman in a strapless top and gold necklace with her hair pulled back is casually chatting in her kitchen with her personal events manager. there are condiments and such behind her and, incredibly, what I believe is a cookie jar shaped like Mother Goose, or possibly a different goose in a blue neckerchief. this is funny because we have just been told that Longleat is THE stately home of all time. hilariously, the closed captions show us that she’s telling the story of her grandfather opening the house to tours us “and the Queen was very cross with him,” and then in big helpful letters onscreen it says “CROSS: very angry or annoyed”

listen

I can live with the onscreen text changing pounds and kilometers into American for the viewer but I draw the line at this

THE MARCHIONESS OF BATH IS IN THIS lmao incredible

“first woman of color to marry into the aristocracy yes even before Meghan Markle” is EXACTLY the kind of content I want from a Real Housewives of London franchise

also there’s already a duo who I can’t tell if they’re lesbians

SEE YES RIGHT THERE just like a SMIDGE more serialization even just on relationship stuff would be perfect

we are starting off strong with an architect named Dara who is way too successful for this show and doesn’t want to be here politely enduring her college friendquaintance of 20+ years Myka acting like they’re besties when in fact Dara actually hates her which Myka will see when she watches this back

Real Housewives of Melbourne were true innovators for boldly making one of the genre’s most beloved guest star archetypes - “Psychic Who Is Confidently Wrong About Everything” - a linchpin of the main cast

thrilled the new London one has done the same with “Hot, Ruthless Gay Man Who Knows Everyone”

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

right like it JUST happened and this is the immediate next Beverly episode I think

I know it’s like, The Contraints of Episodic Television In the 90s, but I always wanted SOME acknowledgement that her moving on so fast to a random new stranger after they JUST dredged up their 20-year past drama is red flag behavior in and of itself and Picard knows her well enough to clock it

does Beverly delude herself in some way that this is good for her because it’s healthy to get some distance from Jean-Luc, does he try to say something as she’s leaving but stops himself, is he jealous, is there a moment of relief afterwards when he realizes she didn’t just voluntarily move on, etc

now I can tell you my one real beef with this episode which is that it’s so perfectly positioned after my #1 TNG episode of all time, “Attached,” that I wanted both Crusher and Picard to acknowledge it more explicitly

We really do not talk enough about Deanna’s work in this episode as a horny agent of chaos, she has NEVER been more her mother

THINKGEEK MY BELOVED

I don’t know if you watched Gentleman Jack but this look is SO Anne Lister-coded which is a high lesbian compliment

no like I support this because I feel like I’ve noticed it with myself with makeup and the ten million different colors I’ve dyed my hair over the years, I would choose things on a whim just based on colors I liked AS COLORS and then be like “wait why does this lipstick make my nose look redder” 😂

[said respectfully]

Dev you are such a snack

YES I KNOW THIS LOOK I REMEMBER THIS LOOK there were so many great 90s fashion vibes but the one I coveted most was always like Victorian Poet Who’s Been In a Fight

like people who never ordinarily notice clothes would be like “oh my GOD you look SO GOOD in that GREEN” and I was like “I KNOW” and some part of me has been chasing that high since like 2010

God I love that coat
