remember how Rich Chigga had to change his name to the much less catchy Rich Brian because everyone was like "umm I'm not sure if your Indonesian ass is allowed to call yourself a Chinese n-word"
It's legit fascinating how Drake is always *just* on the cusp of being a gay furry like, walking around in a pup mask that's one thing, but putting a white boy in a wolf bitchsuit?

girls podcast: "so beth what were you up to last night, a little drinking [they both cackle like the witches in mcbeth]
guys podcast: "hey you know what'd be funny, what if Obama was gay and irish and he was called O' π¬got"
the biggest downside of the death of regular rep screenings of older movies from original prints is people being shocked when the brand new 4K restoration from the original negatives supervised by the director doesn't look like a shoddily thrown together DVD from 2003

I love how if u search it up it immediately gives u a wiktionary page that tells you "this phrase was invented by some dude on /pol/ malding over Burger King"
@boymoder_sf
I can't count the amount of times I've seen shit like "he can't be a predator he's hot" when someone gets outed or people accusing innocent people of being predators because they tick some of the boxes these people consider red flags, it's a dangerous line of thinking
@RaceplayShawty
this is ultra instinct hating dawg like calling him a pedophile AND directly calling out his dad for making him that way like he's not playing at all
@coopercooperco
problem is nobody in charge of making star wars stuff has ever seen yojimbo, they have only ever watched star wars, and based on how this new show looks, they have only seen Rogue One and Solo
@ViceApologist
would be so funny if Nolan just looked up a list of palindromes on google cause he was bored and was like "what if I tried to make an entire screenplay out of these" and that's how tenet was made

@GrahamB47
the ideal mj biopic would be like moonwalker on crack, just MJ's life through his eyes as a series of surreal music video style segments
@legotrillermoth
it's nuts how his family are so proportional in height to him like, they make him look like a normal sized guy when in reality he's like 6'9"

if u don't know anyone who saw Avatar 2 u are hanging out with poor people who can't afford to go the movies, start hanging with some ballers playa
@laserboat999
wow I have never heard any of these albums before they must be really rare and obscure and totally not the most beloved albums of the 90s
@seinfelddahog
I've seen enough illumination movies to know that all the people giving it 2-2.5 star reviews are like 100% right, that studio's best stuff is at best like a strong 6 and most of those good ones are carried by like some decent original songs (Despicable Me 1 and 2 especially)
and even then film prints will always look different to the discs, and to eachother purely due to how film works, it degrades over time, colours fade and shift depending on how its stored and how much its used
not to say there aren't filmmakers who drastically change the look of their films for 4K remasters, Wong Kar-wai is very much guilty of that with his remasters for Criterion, but at the same time it's their work, they can do whatever they want with it
@twinkophrenia
my first thought was that it blurred them for the same reason people blur their feet in pics, like there's some kind of fingertip fetish community out there before realizing it's to hide its fingertips
@viperwave
I'm sure North Korea has as many problems as any other nation state but I'm not gonna take the US or South Korea's word for what those problems are considering they are still technically at war with them lol
@viperwave
Wild At Heart rules specifically because Lynch is a pervert, the combo of freaky horndog sex pervert shit and like really beautiful true love romance shit is such an incredible combo
maybe a good middle ground here would be to include a director's version with all the shit they wanted to change, and an archive version that's just like a raw untouched print of the film
@viperwave
the funniest isekai in a while was the one where this dude's uncle wakes up from a coma having been isekai'd and the main running gag is that he has to keep his Sega fan uncle from finding out that his favourite console, the Saturn, flopped and they don't make consoles anymore

@beanytuesday
and the guy who ran the company that published it (Gathering of Developers) went on to found Devolver Digital and is still the frontman of the company to this day
you may not like the changes Wong made to his films but if you had the opportunity to remaster something you made 30 odd years ago, surely you would want to change things to fit your current sensibilities as an artist
@evilvillain1231
managing to combine the balkans and the levant into one continent without accidentally kickstarting world war 3 would be very impressive
@doulbedoink
it's funny that the only idea anyone can come up with for a parody of a children's book character is "what if he was a spooky slasher bad guy"
