Is it long because the director needs room to thoroughly explore the visual and auditory possibilities of this story and situation? Bring on those butt-numbing runtimes. Is it long because it ends with an artless 30-minute CGI fight scene? Burn it in hell.

Under 90 minutes or over 200. Those are the acceptable movie runtimes.

Y’all have to listen to THE DEBUTANTE on Audible. This is a WILD ride.

Good effing riddance to STAR TREK PICARD. What a complete turkey of a show.

Seasons 1 and 2 were unwatchable nonsense. Season 3 is better, but it’s still substituting emotionally manipulative nostalgia bait for good storytelling.

And I will never forgive the line “I believe it’s afternoon in the Sol system.”

Eleanor Audley, Lady Tremaine AND Maleficent.
What voice actor crushed a role so hard that nobody else will be able to live up to it?

Without government, who would throw people in prison for being inconvenient to them?
This is Crosley Green. After being wrongfully imprisoned for 30 years, 19 of them on death row, his conviction was overturned and he was set free. He's now been ordered to go back to prison, for the crime he didn't commit.

I’ve defended DeSantis for things like his approach to disaster management, but this is psychotic.
DeSantis openly speculating about what the state could build next to Walt Disney World: “Someone even said, maybe you need another state prison…”

What a great name for a band.
🚨 State Rep. Richard Holtorf, R-Akron, just referred to marijuana as the "devil's lettuce" on the Colorado House floor. 🚨 #copolitics #coleg

This season of STAR TREK PICARD is insulting garbage, but that’s what they’re going to keep making when the people who get paid to write TV criticism keep lapping it up because OMG GEORDI AND DATA AND WORF AND THE ENTERPRISE DEEEEEE 😻😻😻

Look, I get it. I love stupid emotionally manipulative things sometimes too. But if you’re being paid to be a critic, you need to be a damn critic.

RETURN OF THE OBRA DINN was close but contained no illuminated manuscripts.

Maybe instead of making a sequel to The Rise of Skywalker they should pretend Rise of a Skywalker never happened and give ending the Skywalker saga a second try because Rise of Skywalker was the most unwatchable piece of shit to ever walk the sky.
