The "blockbusters don't need to look good" thing is annoying when during the 90s you'd get a family movie about two guys trying to outsmart a mouse and it looked like this.

Each of the 5 adaptations has things to recommend it — Katherine Hepburn & Cukor (1933), Janet Leigh & Elizabeth Taylor (1949), Claire Danes (1994), Katherine Newton (2017), Florence Pugh (2019); the weak link is THE BOOK which is ruined by being priggish and didactic.

The X-Men metaphor shifts from Jews and communists to civil rights to queer to trans to disability because the actual metaphor is NEW VS OLD and this is why there should be no mutants prior to 18 years after the Nuclear Bomb, which is the date of the first issue.

I have no desire to work now. I had five days off in a row where I dined at a feast and was entertained at a cinema. I have flown too high to return to a laptop.

I oppose assisted dying bills for the reasons many leftists have articulated, but more broadly it strikes me as one of the clearest cases of where abstract moralizing, rather than considering the conditions of capitalist production, leads you to exactly the wrong conclusion. 1/2

very cool that one thing millennials really did was step up general "food culture" but the fact that i have to walk past a restaurant called "lunch AF" that serves things like a "slutty ravenclaw burger", and its probably actually good, is an aesthetic crime beyond comprehension
