It grew on me. I thought it was too full of quirk at the beginning, but I really enjoyed it by the end. Just finished it tonight as a matter of fact. I'd love a second season.

IMAX 4DX is gimmicky and distracting. But I will always love this movie. My ★★★★★ review of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/6LCUIP

Have people been saying he shouldn't have said it and that he oughta leave if he doesn't like it? I haven't seen any takes like that, but I very well may have missed them.

Do you no longer like them or follow their careers religiously? If so, are you doing so because their worst pictures won Best Picture?

Dumb shit like this does nothing but make it easier for terrible politicians to push changes to the system that make it harder for people who have actually been injured to get compensation.

Registered Libertarian since 1987, other than switching to Unaffiliated occasionally to vote in local primaries. Elected to city council a couple times. I just switched to Unaffiliated, for real this time. The convention was the last straw. The national LP is infected with MAGA/anti-vaxxers. Bleh.

People who were repeatedly vaccinated for COVID-19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and even some distantly related coronaviruses.

Trump announces Operation Warp Speed, a massive government project to rush a COVID vaccine to the public. "We'd love to see if we can do it prior to the end of the year," Trump says. Most medical experts caution this is unrealistically soon. The first Pfizer vaccine will be approved Dec 11.

"My Cousin Vinny" gets small-town criminal defense down very well: the sometimes-sarcastic judge, shoestring investigations, qualifying an expert witness, how the rules get bent in court, the confident prosecutor.

You should see it. It's one of my favorite horror movies, a genre I only like if the movie gives you more to think about than just the body count or number of jump-scares.

The fact that Tesla is (or maybe was it’s been a rough month) valued higher than all other US car makers COMBINED remains one of the most bonkers things. It’s mostly based on finance people thinking Elon is magical which tells you all you need to know about finance imo

The Wikipedia description does not inspire hope that they'll be following the plot of the comic: "Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk try to put their rivalry and darker alter-egos aside to help the people of New York, only for their pasts to 'catch up to them.'"
