Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

I kind of want to see Quentin Tarantino say that he didn't like Pan's Labyrinth. That would be a frustrating but plausible take, and I'd enjoy watching it make the rounds.

The most conservative Minnesotan I know is mad about Trump's Somali comments and has posted a 10 paragraph rant about it. Probably still not gonna vote against the republicans, but it's good to see some sort of breaking point.

Stranger Things Kid 1 (any): The Beholder is hidden in the upside-down. All we have is this grid...

In the olden days people used to have to go to the agora to learn deep truths. Nowadays to find the realest shit imaginable you have to look at the comments for youtube shorts clips of moderately successful movies

It definitely sucks that Ebenezer Scrooge isn't providing so much as a crust of bread for those in need, but things could be worse. I'm sure that at least the meeces are getting their fair share of cheeses. And now to take a big sip of coffee and listen to the very next line of the song...

"They want to kiss our country goodnight. They want to kiss us. They want to tuck us in with a nice fluffy blanket and give us a nice smooch. And I'm talking right on the lips. That's what they want for America."
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Would be cool to be able to go back to the innocent days of my adolescence when I could get horny from looking at JRPG girls who left their shorts unbuttoned as part of their costume.

The dems should run on a platform of not only disbanding ICE, but on unmasking every single one of their agents.

People complain all the time about trailers spoiling too much "these days" but if you look up trailers from like the eighties and nineties, they're far more cavalier about just spilling everything.

Expert dodge, sir. Once again you have cleverly passed yourself off as shockingly incompetent.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Every disagreement in Stranger Things always escalates to exactly the same type of shouty but articulate argument no matter what characters are involved.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Aside from Eleven, Will, and maybe Mike, the Stranger Things kids/teens are basically interchangeable. They have different personalities but not really different narrative roles.

Every season of Stranger Things we gotta go through this bullshit where every returning member of the cast is treated like a reveal.

If I post one more negative thing about Stranger Things, I think the scales have tipped, and I'm a genuine hater, not just a guy who has a few quibbles.
