Deeply stupid YouTube thumbnail. I guess Galway, Limerick and Derry don’t exist?

Year later I stand by this again this moment is so fucking emotional even if I know everything is gonna be fine
Absolutely no shade to Emily Mortimer who's doing the best with the material she's given (Paddington in Peru just isn't that strong a film either) but Sally Hawkins really is the heart of these movies and her presence is so sorely missed

You are an adult you will NOT get broken up by Paddington's sad face over the Browns missing visiting in Paddington 2

I'd love to know what the explanation for the last 48 hours is if the answer isn't "She's evil corrupt and incompetent"?
"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Still absolutely adore a major subplot in this film is Paddington causing prison reform

"Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington."

Never forgiving Chapo Trap House for popularising this idea that Avatar is some anti-imperialist text

It is AT BEST some white liberalist bullshit made by a man who acts like he can tell the Lakota people what's what with authority and is filled with a bunch of appropriative elements

I love that small moments of the Browns looking at the kids trying to spruce up Paddington just the overwhelming wordless looks of love this movie is so pure

You do not in fact have to hand it to Dave "Im a terf who just got paid by the saudi monarchy to do a show" Chappelle cause he acknowledged its evil to kill journalists covering Israel's genocide of Palestine.

CBS burying the 60 Minutes CECOT story is exactly why the Ellison family shouldn’t be allowed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery

Thank you Australia for (in this instance if nothing else) upholding reality
Justice Stewart explained: “Political criticism of Israel, however inflammatory or adversarial, is not by its nature criticism of Jews in general or based on Jewish racial or ethnic identity.

We can't just accept this technology as normal. It never will be
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Mrs. Brown having the empathy to go back to Paddington and see if he needs help always gets me 😭

Especially with Mr. Brown pushing aspersions on him-I've said what works about these movies is the reincorporation of Paddington as an immigrant stand in for contemporary times

I'm seeing people go "The normies will LOVE Steve Rogers coming back!!" and I mean. Will they?

I know this is anecdotal & I know annoying MCU hating weirdos say this all the time post-Endgame but it's never felt more done than it has now

Most folks don't know there IS an Avengers movie coming up!

I don't think it's controversial to say just how much more selfish people have become post-COVID. Like from benign rudeness to how much inhumanity people express when talking about migrants

It's legitimately disheartening and I don't exactly know how we can resolve it
I sort of think that the Covid times for many people utterly killed any sense that we all live in this world collectively and that you are actually obligated to be mindful of other people, and I think it’s a problem that goes well beyond just the Covid denialists.
Few things make me as angry as 'National Slowdown Day' People are out there driving like absolute pricks, it is getting so much worse, and the best we have come up with is 'please stop'

As if a person with that level of selfishness is going to hear about 'Slowdown' day and think it applies to them

This guy and that guy who namesearches Woody Allen to defend him should go out for drinks
I just found out there's a guy on here who namesearches Elvis Presley and will show up to scold you if you ask questions about how old Elvis Presley's wife was when they met
