It’s hard choosing just four. I would absolutely be one of those people that brings a whole tote bag to the Closet.
“My mood will improve when the hordes of children stop calling me ‘the fat stinky one.’”
Easily The Gates of Hell. For size, for detail, for raw dark energy and despair radiating from it. I’ve been obsessed with Rodin since.
The “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” episode from the first season hit exactly the balance of comedic fantasy adventure and social commentary this reboot was trying for. Also, the first season explicitly casting the Elders as villains and rejecting the “evil=genetic” rhetoric of the original was refreshing.
I’m sorry but also not “Ruin the Friendship” is not just good compared to the rest of the album, it’s good, period. It’s well-produced, the songwriting is for once economical and effective, her vocal performance is very good. I wish anything else on this album lived up to it.
“Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” is the only John Mayer song I will ever listen to by choice. It’s gorgeous. It absolutely devastates me.
For everything else negative I can say about Magic Mike, it proved that Channing Tatum was an actual for real Movie Star and Actor. It is a genuinely good showcase of his talents (and also his “talents” but let’s not be vulgar). Steven Soderbergh knew what he saw in him and how to bring it out.
I don’t think there will ever be a great or even good production of Chess (I’ve definitely talked about this on here before). That being said, it has quite a few absolutely incredible songs (Nobody’s Side, Anthem, Where I Want to Be, I Know Him So Well, Someone Else’s Story, I could go on).
This is an easy one. Daft Punk’s score of this is one of the best of the decade. I play it all the time because it’s just so damn good.
Hard mode! I genuinely love Steven McRae’s performance as Skimbleshanks. He delivers exactly what the sequence needs.
Casting Anne Hathaway as your Stanwyckesque femme fatale? Genius. She can absolutely do that but has never been given a chance to before this. It’s a shame this is the movie it happened in.
Evil Dead 2013 has almost nothing I actually want from an Evil Dead movie except that it has pretty unimpeachable practical gore effects. All those severed limbs look real good!
Glee is a dreadful show that also happens to have one of the best pilot episodes ever. I can so easily see the alternate universe where the pilot actually leads into a good show.
I didn’t like Bring Her Back. Thought it mistook a blunt, bludgeoning miserablist approach to grief for emotional depth and complexity and rang false. But Sally Hawkins in that movie? One of the best performances of last year. A testament to her skill that she kept me watching.
Sure, I’ll get in on this One like = one genuine compliment for a piece of media I dislike
I knew I had seen John Abraham in something before (you never forget a face that beautiful), turns out it was because I had seen Deepa Mehta’s Water ages ago in college. May need to watch more of his films. For research.
I remember when I saw this in theaters in the interest of trying to be fair (I hated Man of Steel too but a lot of people say they love that incoherent piece of shit) and even the opening weekend crowd was not having it. Just total silence punctuated by derisive laughter.
Though were I to have a second choice it would absolutely be Mandy Patinkin
THE PRINCESS BRIDE has always been a favorite since childhood so you will not be at all surprised to know it’s Cary Elwes
Why does Tubi’s preview image for Scream look like Billy and Stu are trying to bully Randy into a diabolical threesome
Made a blood orange martini with rosemary simple syrup. Turned put great if a bit unbalanced.
This season of Drag Race started strong and is definitely not measuring up to the early promise in its back half but they have had Zane Phillips on twice so maybe it is worth it 👀
“Hey. We’re Splurging on Rotisserie Chickens…but we’re thinking of changing the name.”
IN for 2026: dressing like Bryan Fuller for mundane tasks, yaoi, little cakes, learning and discovering things just because OUT for 2026: calling things “cringe,” using AI for anything, box office discourse about indie movies that pretends anything that doesn’t do MCU numbers is a flop
When I say “cottagecore” I am referring EXCLUSIVELY to this cottage because it’s the only one that matters
