Mary Shelley was a brilliant writer, but even she could not have conceived of Dr. Pretorius

So excited to see Maggie Gyllenhaal’s take on the iconic Bride!

The world has gotten to crazy that if he existed in our world, The Joker would get a corporate job, a wife, and kids. Because acting normally seems the most absurd. I would write this full story...

Hey friends, how are you coping? I’m really struggling today and would love to genuinely hear about some good things or at least ways you’re finding comfort amid the Horrors.

Being out in the world is crazy because everyone is mostly pretending things are very normal, when in fact, things are not!

Tweet from Jenney Nicholson that reads: It's so funny how every wattpad story that's ever been turned into a movie is about a good girl who just moved to a school where everyone's rich, and she goes to an underground club where she meets a mean hot boy with some kind of illegal hobby that shows he's dangerous

Why is it that every few months some influencer pops up with a post poking fun at or straight up shaming media created by and made for girls? We should start doing the same about media made for boys. Like how they're all baby's first hero's journey. But no one has an issue with that? Wonder why???

Record profits are unpaid wages.

In a just society, one 40-hour a week job should pay enough to support a nuclear family β€” one brief stint as CEO should not pay so much it creates generation wealth and empowers the 1% to buy our elections.

The AFI Should Bring Back Its Top 100 Movies List It helped create the canon for a generation. Then it stopped.

I recently found myself thinking about the AFI Top 100, and what a huge impact it made on me, and wishing it had continued. Bring it back!

I also rewatched the original broadcast of the list and let me tell you: THAT is a DOCUMENT. You will not believe some of the faces that pop up in that thing.

They’re both kind of emotionally load bearing in different ways for me, at least until Zootopia 2 comes to D+

Dig how Marc puts Zelda in conversation with its predecessors and contemporaries. Nintendo has long been treated as a singular wonka-like place, but as Marc shows, it’s a developer like any otherβ€”playing the work of its peers and responding to them
