One thing I dislike about ALIENS is how Ripley was asleep for 57 years— and she has zero problems adjusting to the new present. Austin Powers was in cryostasis only 30 years and he had a harder time adapting.

Israel trying to use the Super Bowl as cover to intensify its bombing of Rafah--where it directed more than a million people it violently displaced--is one of the most cynical, cowardly, vile, and unspeakably evil acts it has committed to date. Historic levels of supervillainy.

Michael Mann is one of the cinema's consummate perfectionists. When he opens his movie with stretched out 240p footage ripped from YouTube with poor frame rate conversion, it's because he wants to contrast the garish digital present with the exactingly machine-engineered past.
