I have told this story before, but Janeane Garofalo was the coolest celebrity I ever met. Went to her show and I had some movies I hoped she'd sign. Waited in back and a venue employee saw me and said he'd tell her I was out there.
"Want to watch Hausu?"
They understand you're talking about the Japanese movie
"Want to watch House?"
They think you're talking about the Fox medical drama
Language and how we refer to things will develop in certain ways for a reason.
Disney will finally, finally, FINALLY release A Goofy Movie and its DTV sequel An Extremely Goofy Movie (cc

) on Blu-ray through their Movie Club (exact date TBA).
Learning that Civil War uses and credits footage from Andy Ngo is a prime example of how everything is as depressing as expected but also ten times dumber than we could imagine
When she came out, she said she'd wondered where I'd gone. She signed my stuff and then smoked a cigarette and we talked for ten minutes about "Twin Peaks" (this was right before "The Return" started airing) and the "Wet Hot" TV show.
She wanted to know about the stuff with Lynch threatening to quit over budget but then coming back; she told me she didn't have a computer so she only sort of heard what was going on.
NEW: John Fetterman breaks with the left — fiercely supporting Israel and endorsing talks for tougher immigration laws.
“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman tells

, brushing back critics.
He’s hitting Dems for a double standard on Santos/Menendez.
RIP M. Emmet Walsh. I've told this story before, but I sent fanmail once to be signed. He not only signed my stuff, but he included a glossy 8x10, a one-page copy of his resume, and a trading card of his character from Wild Wild West.
I knew The Asylum had done one of their mockbusters to capitalize on Maverick, but today I learned they did one in 2020, and then when Maverick was delayed two years due to COVID they just went and made another
At long last, for its 4K debut, Paramount has gone into the vault and come up with the legendary deleted scenes from the 3-hour cut of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
would I bet millions on the movie featuring a studio's flagship characters, a couple of well-liked and successful human stars, that tested very well and has a huge groundswell of grassroots support that cost no money? gee I dunno man
the best Ryan Reynolds movies (and there are not many, nor is that an especially high bar) are of course the ones where he doesn't do the schtick that he is famous for
@PetreRaleigh
for me the striking thing about her and so many of her followers is how they remain in the clutches of pre-2016 feminism. It's all "we are the daughters of the witches you couldn't burn" over there
@punished_cait
only makes it funnier (and predictably sad) that he bought and destroyed the one website in which the primary interaction was subjecting your takes and thoughts to mass peer review
look, nobody has to LIKE it, but I think some people are really fooling themselves about how well a remake of a 1950s musical, a horror noir about carnies, or a medieval Rashomon were gonna do in any environment against a new Spider-Man movie
@KatyMontgomerie
funny how it seems like the person getting called a Nazi because they are aggressively transphobic could solve both problems by not being a Nazi
@girldrawsghosts
To be clear (and this is not a defense of him or his position), I think he has always claimed he is a fan of her books and not her opinions, so to me this doesn't signal a shift. (To me, that's incoherent, but I don't feel like his needle is moving.)

went through HS paralyzingly shy and afraid of embarrassing myself only to learn 1) it doesn't get less embarrassing and 2) high school is when you're supposed to embarrass yourself
@dreamoforgonon
It is so funny that at least one basic takeaway from the whole controversy would be "if you work at a morally bankrupt job, don't be morally righteous online" and the primary tactic of AM's defenders has been to do EXACTLY that
@Douggernaut_2
another incredible part of the original Mad Max is this pretty normal shot of Max looking pensive at home and then it cuts to reveal the wailing sax on the soundtrack isn't just the score but his wife playing it
@justacoverband
Once I went to my friend's house and there was a "Bones" DVD there his mom and sister had rented, and I read the pull quote "'Bones' is a sexed-up 'CSI'" to him off of it, and I can still annoy him to this day by saying that to him
my biggest problem out the gate with dune 2 is that the spider woman doesn’t come back. otherwise it’s fucking awesome and I can’t wait to see it again
@AussieKirby
You can also just ignore it. I've been alive and going around in public for almost 40 years and with the rare exceptions of instances where someone is actively targeting you I have basically never encountered a situation where you can just turn around or look at your phone etc.
Pixar: How did you get past security?
Me: *out of breath* I have such a good name for a Ratatouille sequel, Rata-
Pixar, sighing: Rata2ille?
Me: -touille 2 oh man yours is so good
was told today about this old IGN (for MEN!) interview where Jared Leto does not remember being in or even hearing of the film Urban Legend, just two years after starring in it
Ethan Hawke is great, of course, but tonally, I can see why Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is not often mentioned alongside the other three entries in the Before series
