There were at least 3 separate times in the 90s when it looked like the United States was about to tear itself apart from the inside. FAR from an oasis.
Thinking back to some of the nostalgiaslop I've read this year about the 90s being an oasis of peace and calm in what people did and enjoyed without social media; are they trying to gaslight people into forgetting that stuff like Jerry Springer existed, where millions of people tuned...

The country would be in flames, but it would have at least 1 or 2 new Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

One interesting trend on YouTube recently is Jurassic Park "analog horror," and while the genre is nothing new (There's so much of it on the site!) and the results wildly vary in quality, it's neat to see people interpret the series this way. At its best, it's both nostalgic and refreshing.

The most commonly shared Batman: The Animated Series art are the backgrounds, but I'd like to offer something similarly terrific: Its amazing array of goons.

You can tell everything you need to know about a Star Wars movie ranking by what they put for #3. The tone of the entire list is decided by that specific spot.

I think Rogue One is a collection of very cool Star Wars images and sequences held together by a wider film that just isn't that great.

One of the worst things about the "To help sell your book, you should build a huge TikTok/YouTube/social media following" advice is that it rarely even works for the people whose whole lives consist of doing that. A big number of subscribers does not equal a big number of readers.

The perfect DanDaDan video game would be a Super Nintendo RPG that everyone discovered through a fan translation twenty years after it was released
We lost something as a culture when all the licensed anime tie-in videogames became gambling phone games instead of jank-ass Psychic Force knockoffs

I don't know what I expected out of Tojima Wants To Be A Kamen Rider, but a funny and earnest look at the way that broken people find comfort and inspirational purpose in fictional characters wasn't it. Maybe my favorite anime of the season.

Udo Kier belonged to the cinema - Some view the eccentricities and the macabre that Kier excelled in as merely a side of the arts, but one look into Kier's eyes revealed unknowable depths. The kind of actor that could spin screenplay straw into gold.
Remembering Udo Kier — a fearless, unforgettable screen original whose decades of boundary-pushing performances changed the shape of cult and art-house cinema.

Brock's "jelly donut" line is likely the most discussed piece of dialogue in the entire Pokémon anime localization.
Funnily enough, that's not actually the first or only time it's used. It would show up a dozen episodes earlier in "Here Comes the Squirtle Squad."

I played Pokemon Red for 200 hours and memorized the words on the back of the Halloween VHS tape at around the same time. Two puzzle pieces just waiting to find one another it turns out.
