look what you've done. you've hurt john goodman's feelings. is that what you want to do with your one precious life? hurt john goodman's feelings?
John Goodman opened up about how the negative reviews for Digger HURT him, saying critics practically KILLED the movie before it even opened, but he still hopes it finds an audience over time like The Big Lebowski and Speed Racer 👀
“Yeah, it hurt. They kind of killed us before we opened. ‘This will only make $5,’ and it’s a good reason for people to avoid it. I’m proud of it, and I had a ball doing it.”

You ever listen to someone’s retelling of an argument and you just know they’re leaving 90% of it out so they look like the good guy?

This one is a classic because I really can’t describe the joke to you. I don’t know where exactly the funny is. But it’s hilarious.

Normalise saying “this is really fucking weird, but I don’t think it should be banned”. True liberalism needs to make a comeback.

Mike Amesbury, Labour MP (right) - Beat up a member of the public and gets 10 weeks in prison
Make it make sense 🤷

RedLetterMedia's biggest flaws as critics is their obsession with character arcs, they have a very narrow inaccurate view of how characters work in film. This is why Mike think it's some mistake that Qui-Gon is shown as a renegade Jedi doing morally questionable things in TPM.

🚨 ISLAMIC BLASPHEMY LAW BY THE BACK DOOR 🚨
Kellie-Jay Keen (@ThePosieParker) has been charged with a criminal offence over posts criticising Islam, Muslim cultural practices and Islamism.
The Free Speech Union is proud to be defending her.
In a free society, no religion or cultural practice should be immune from criticism.
Since Labour came to power, the number of FSU cases involving people penalised for criticising Islam has doubled. It is now the single biggest category in our casework.
And now, with a state-approved definition of Islamophobia — rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility” — things are only getting worse.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Communities Secretary Angela Rayner met Muslim community leaders in Downing Street. Burnham took a swipe at critics of Islam, saying “some of the language” opposition parties use “is unacceptable”, and told the leaders “we need to find ways with you to demonstrate that more and more”.
We now await Rayner’s appointment of an “Islamophobia tsar” who will help enforce the definition.
All five hand-picked members of the Working Group that drafted it have concerning links to Islamist organisations, as FSU Research and Policy Director @DavidRoseUK exposed in his report. We have little hope that the appointed tsar will be good news for free speech.
Meanwhile, the Government is refusing to say who submitted responses to the Working Group, so we cannot know which groups shaped the definition. Islamists may well have had a hand in its drafting.
Support the FSU’s campaign against an Islamic blasphemy law — and the people penalised under it 👇

I like how arabs are literally the men that feminists describe, down to the "gang rape groupchats" that they accused the cornell group of doing

Dune came out in 1965, more than a decade before Star Wars, and a lot of the surface-level “desert epic with a messianic figure, giant creatures, and galactic politics” vibe in the original trilogy is borrowed from it (Lucas has openly cited Herbert as an influence). The spice, the Fremen, the sandworms, the Bene Gesserit, and the whole chosen-one prophecy apparatus all predate the Jedi, the Sarlacc, and the moisture farmers on Tatooine. So if anything, it’s closer to the reverse: Star Wars is a much lighter, more swashbuckling remix of several ideas Dune had already explored.
That said, the two feel very different once you get past the sand. Dune is dense, ecological, skeptical of messiahs and religion-as-power, and obsessed with systems, scarcity, and the long-term consequences of human choices. Star Wars is a mythic adventure story about hope, clear good-versus-evil, and laser swords. They share a desert setting and some iconography, but equating them is like calling The Lord of the Rings “basically Star Wars but with hobbits and no spaceships”—the aesthetic overlap is real, the actual storytelling is doing completely different work.

Crosshair overlay bans are the funniest shit ever. What do you mean I'm not allowed to have a fucking PNG displayed in the center of my screen.
I am officially banned from all of Battlefield 4 because I had a crosshair overlay that was active 5 YEARS ago that was on for FIVE SECONDS because I forgot to turn it off when I swapped games.
Battlefield Agency has to be the most corrupt, inexcusable, disgusting thing this community has to offer, banning anyone they want for any reason they deem offensive to them, banning people from the remaining 5 servers if they find you too toxic, glitching or sus, how is such a corrupt and disgusting platform allowed to have so much power when their administration can't average a 2kd let alone have the correct opinion on whether or not someone is cheating.
These people are shrinking the remaining community until it fizzles out, multiple LEGIT players banned for glitches that they were NOT TOLD PRIOR ABOUT BEING BANNABLE BTW are now unable to play the game because of their stronghold on the remaining Battlefield servers.

Adapting the book to film requires externalizing Paul's internal conflict. Making the love of his life the vehicle for that makes the story more personal and tragic.
I’ve never heard anyone who complains about the Chani change actually explain how they would do it better.
The change was deliberate on Denis Villeneuve’s part to turn Chani into the film’s moral compass and force the audience to experience Paul’s rise as a tragedy rather than a triumph. In the novel she largely supports him and fades into the background once the war escalates; Villeneuve rewrote her as a skeptical, independent Fremen fighter who rejects the Bene Gesserit-planted prophecy and actively resists both Jessica’s religious manipulation and Paul’s embrace of the Lisan al-Gaib role. By filtering the climax through her eyes—especially her rejection of the political marriage to Irulan and her final departure into the desert—the movie makes clear that Paul’s “victory” is the start of a holy war he once claimed to oppose.
Villeneuve has said the shift brings the adaptation closer to Frank Herbert’s original intent. Herbert was frustrated that many readers treated Paul as a straightforward hero and wrote Dune Messiah partly to correct that reading; by giving Chani a voice of dissent throughout Part Two, the film embeds that cautionary note immediately instead of waiting for a sequel. It also keeps her from disappearing into Paul’s shadow, gives the love story real dramatic stakes, and foregrounds the story’s warnings about charismatic leaders, colonial messianism, and the cost of power.
