Don’t miss our 200th episode! The Red Wedding is so big we can only talk about in relationship to other great art, like The Godfather, Shakespeare, Moby Dick, and Metal Gear Solid! 😇
By age 38, you should have ten friends: a partner in crime, the backer, the hacker, the gadget guy, a con man, a grease man, a pickpocket, driver, muscle, and an inside man. Your target is three casinos owned by Terry Benedict.
I'm sorry, but where is the Democrat countermessaging on transphobia? Like, beyond "love is love" lawn signs? The right-wing has an onslaught of anti-trans bills working through states, have armed men showing up libraries and drag shows, and get on every media outlet daily.
‘SHOGUN’ director Jonathan van Tulleken says ‘Succession’ & ‘House of Cards’ are better comparisons for the show than ‘Game of Thrones’
“This is a dangerous world where violence can come out of nowhere… [but] a conversation is as dangerous as anything else”

Gotta say, when someone is alleged to be an abuser, the “well I never consumed/liked their stuff” or “their work wasn’t good” is a useless and selfish comment to make. It centers you not the victims and creates some faux correlation between art and moral standing.
What is your favorite single line from the Simpsons? Not a visual gag, not a dialogue exchange, not a long monologue about the style at the time. What is your favorite *sentence*?
This is mine from “Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie” delivered by Not Bill Oakley
In the films (all 9 of them even!) you could really feel the buzz, the sizzle, the power of a lightsaber that was brought to life by the visual and sound design. Commodifying it to the point where they are flat glow sticks is just one way in which the D+ shows fall flat
This is an art direction nitpick but I miss how they used to animate the lightsabers.
The energy blades seem so lifeless when the light isn’t stretching with every quick movement they do. It’s kinda hard to explain so i animated it to give y’all an idea of what I mean
Lisa/Marge have criminally fewer great moments than other family pairings in the show, but Lisa pressing mom on why she wasn’t skipped a grade is one of my all-time favorite Marge moments
Just heard about this LA Law episode (guest starring Dan Castellaneta) where a theme park mascot got in trouble for taking the giant head off cuz of heat/food poisoning and they put all the jury in Homer Simpson heads so they knew what it feels like to wear one
Actually think it’s pretty amazing that they built all the marketing around this death-defying stunt and it’s all setup for one of the best jokes in the movie
“Black Widower” turns 30 this week, and the montage of Bart trying to explain to Homer that Selma is gonna get blown up but Homer not understanding at all, and then Bart telling Marge and they leap into action, remains one of my all time favorite bits
the thing about taylor swift is that she so perfectly encapsulates through her lyrics, the interior lives of women. It's why we all can't stop listening. We're all saying, "wait you felt that way? we were all feeling this way?"
do men have someone like that?
so that when you see the Harkonnen soldiers in their exotic, clunky, alien, and impractical suits you understand immediately why the utilitarian ways of the Fremen can easily wipe them out
Interviewer, liberal: were you inspired by what’s going on in Ukraine
Tony Gilroy, based: it’s the Russian Revolution. Haitian Revolution. It is PALESTINE
If you're one of the people who thinks Democrats are good, why aren't you demanding this? Someone should be on TV every morning and every night defending them. Ditto the anti Critical Race Theory guys.
For no reason whatsoever, remembering how the Battle of Helms Deep takes place completely at night time and at no point is it a struggle to see what is happening on screen, all the detail work on full display in every last frame.
Video: If you're unhappy about the fact that all "Portuguese" conversations in FX/Hulu's Shōgun miniseries are conducted in English, you can "fix" this issue by switching to the Portuguese dub.
That is just the minimum too! What we really should be demanding is protections pushed through legislative bodies, but they can't even jump on TV and *feign* that they care about marginalized people, as more and more die thanks to the Right wing
Bart of Darkness is on FXX and I really like “let us celebrate our agreement with the adding of chocolate to milk.” Which is immediately followed up with “tis a fine barn” lol
Ned: my last acts are to try to save the children, all of the children, even my enemy’s children
Viserys: wait hold up a second… I have other children besides Rhaenyra!?
If you're going to insist this is the party to vote for, that they are "better" than the GOP, then why can't they do this? Even non-committal rhetoric would be a vast improvement.
“They’re a brutal, ugly, inhumane people, and they have to be eliminated.” Those are the final words of Biden’s Hanukkah address. You can tell me he’s referring to Hamas. But then tell me why he refers to them as “a people”.
When I say media, I don't just mean Fox News either. Over X-Mas, my mom was watching either Today or GMA and they had on a TERF talking about the "trans question" with no counter voice, and the host being extremely credulous about the TERF's talking points.
HotD S2 will bring back "green vs black" discourse which makes me want to blow my brains out because it misses out on the larger thematic thrust of the story, which is that Olivia Cooke should peg me
I’m gonna miss this little freak sooo much after next weeks time jump. Literally a big Aegon II fan just cuz this boy was wonderful in his two episodes. Delightful weirdo, need more of them.
All I'm saying is if I'm a nearby country previously occupied by the British, the queen is dead, the monarchy is tanking public trust via photoshop, the spare is in California making podcasts, and the real government blew through 3 prime ministers in a year + brexit, I'm invading
A gourmand is a person who likes good food and tends to eat to excess; a glutton. A gourmet is a person who likes fine food and is an excellent judge of food and drink.
God damn fucking enough about “having 50 votes.” Actual lives are on the line. You get on TV every night and defend reproductive justice, and you whip your own party into shape by threatening to take away committee seats and campaign support. Ya know, doing actual politics.
