I went downtown to get a Real ID; the guy taking care of me was shocked by our address & said his cousin grew up in our apartment and wanted to see what we’d made the place into so he could tell his cousin this is very much not what it looked like in the seventies

The Witch: I don’t think I’ve seen children’s’ performances carrying a film that thoroughly before & I can’t imagine doing it with such complicated language like did they all actually know what they were saying

there’s a Glee reboot in development oh I thought you already knew about it and just didn’t want to talk about it no I knew, I just now remembered to warn you so i’m right about that second part? hundred percent

there’s a guy on TikTok playing “based on the title, is this a gay bar or is this a Christian self help book” and you know what? they’re hard to tell apart like I wonder if they hate us because they’re so tone-deaf with their book titles and always inadvertently run into Unwanted Faggotry

and like that’s why they think we’re trying to shove it in our faces no girl we’re not, It’s Him is a totally valid gay bar name I can’t help your one-track mind

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5

I get at least 5 of these daily which makes me feel like it’s probably working on someone somewhere I wanna see a story about whoever that is

my favorite aspect of the Carrie rewrite Is the dimension given to Chris Hargensen in recent years writers have tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to add depth to villains in the original De Palma film, Chris was a vapid asshole with zero backstory now we see her rendered with actual pain

but the pain isn’t the notable aspect more notable is her choice to react to it with furious self-destructiveness it was interesting to both understand her pain and hate her for her reactions to it

I also wanna underscore that Stephen King was intimately involved in this remake and was instrumental in developing Emaline, who moved things into a new plot and this was clearly not a George Lucas situation (the one where he ruined Star Wars) so purists can fuck right on off

finished Carrie loved it to pieces not mad at the plot changes King was intimately involved, stories are allowed to change, and purists ruin everything

do you have an Elder Millennial in your life? go to Settings—> Accessibility—> Motion—> turn of Auto-play Animated Images you people and your gifs and boomerangs, I swear

today in former caregiver healing: first trip out of state planned for Thanksgiving I was not informed how expensive travel has become since 2018

people werent kidding about the entire cast of Battlestar Galactica showing up in Carrie for no reason; I love stuff like that where the director’s like “yeah I really liked Galactica what’s the big deal”

but like not down there a pox on whomever decided to cut the city in half by a near-impassible wall of central skyscrapers

I’ve been waiting for some asshole to use a variable font’s internal construction lines as a design motif, and here we are I have no idea why these don’t get removed when a designer converts type to paths they confuse everyone they’re embarrassing like, you don’t need to see my Bits
