SCROOGE (Walton Goggins) (VO): It had been seven years Old Marley had been dead. Unless this is known, nothing fantastic can be understood MARLEY (Danny McBride) flings open BEDROOM DOOR: Hey Scrooge what's up you sassy son of a bitch. Who decorated this place Jack the Ripper

I absolutely love this bit of Kristy's conversation with Maria Bamford and think it imparts a really important lesson that it's important for a lot of us to take to heart. Be glad with what you have, the life you've made for yourself. Don't let Capitalism nag you to death and unhappiness

Maria Bamford has been a marvel to me since I was a kid, recording her specials off tv onto VHS so I could play them whenever I wanted. Here’s my interview with her, which still feels like a dream. mashable.com/entertainmen...

A real 2026 moment: Yesterday, in the middle of the crowded cafeteria at the Lucas Museum, my mom leaned over to me to say, over our two-dollar grilled cheeses, "I don't think his penis was the right color."

please god don't let this become a whole outrage cycle not only is it so fucking dumb it's also BORING

If someone takes offense to Obama's Cheesecake Factory joke, mute/block/ignore. This is basket of deplorables all over again.

Sitting in the Academy Museum theater waiting for a screening of BLADE to start. The pre-show playlist includes Nine Inch Nails’ “The Hand that Feeds.” This rules.

Waiting in line for the AFI special screening of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. The movie is scheduled to start at 7:30. Afterwards, Tarantino’s doing a Q&A of some type. Who wants to make a prediction as to what exact time the evening ends?

I read this earlier this morning and it's been haunting me ever since

Lanterns only affirming my post-Rebel Ridge belief that Aaron Pierre is the guy for James Bond (if we need to make another James Bond)

my major takeaway from all the CLAYFACE reviews going up right now (including my own) is that there is exactly one good still from the movie on the WB press site, and it's this one

for comparison's sake, here are three other available options, which do a stunning job of not actually showing the main character's face clearly. that's generally a thing you want for a photo intended to lead a review!

I reviewed Netflix's The New Stanford Prison Experiment, though I gave up after the second episode. That's when producers started meddling, giving the cast members playing guards challenges, like putting on riot gear and handcuffing all the cast members playing inmates.

Just remembered that in THE DROPOUT, Sunny is depicted forcing Elizabeth Holmes to drink green juice. In THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS, one of the movie's "cute" moments involves Adam trashing a sugary drink of Olive's and replacing it with a green juice. THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS... has some issues.

By terminating research grants like Kelton's to censor views it doesn’t like, the NIH is blocking scientists from work that would advance public health for all of us. We're pushing back. Tell Congress to demand the NIH restore the grants and stop its censorship campaign at aclu.org/nih_censorship_

Only in WeHo can voter research include checking the IMDB profiles of city council candidates. (One person wrote for DIARRA FROM DETROIT, a show I liked, but another one appeared in four episodes of STAR TREK: DS9, so I’m torn.)

THANK YOU FOR THIS PUBLIC SERVICE

for the funniest piece we've run all month, we talked to both the people who came up with “The odds of being swallowed alive by a whale are not zero.” and a whale expert who confirms that yeah, probably not zero www.avclub.com/whalefall-gr...

This is how you do You Can See Everything in 4DX

If you’re a celebrity surprising audiences opening night in a movie theater I bet it would surprise them even more if you pulled up a chair and sat in front of the screen, facing them, for the duration of the movie.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?
