  My stepfather, who I adored, was an instant huge fan of Death to Smoochy after it came out on home video and would often sing the line “Stepdad’s Not Mean He’s Just Adjusting”

  I’m of real mixed emotions here. I totally understand why latino/a folks want this film to succeed, there has never really been a film to this scale to feature as predominantly a latin-american cast as this one, and that’s certainly a big moment. I have a latino friend who is going purely for how big a moment it is for representation of his culture and I get it.

  However, so much of the complaints about how iffy the film’s likely performance I’ve seen really border damn close to just complaining about the strike “ruining” things for people (like we didn’t all know this film had ‘potential bust’ written all over it for a long time now) and studios’ plans. And frankly, while I certainly hope for more latin-american representation all across film, I also think that trying to save Warner Bros Discovery from their own disasterous decision is counterproductive to wishes of future good quality and original programming

  I feel like to equate a targeted campaign based around hatred and influencing corporate culture to shun an entire group of people with a television show not being rerun because it heavily features a symbol of hate in every episode is like, not great. These two things are not equal.

  This exactly. Just because the charges dismissed against somebody doesn’t mean the internal investigations didn’t make it clear they’d be better off without his influence, and it also doesn’t mean the person is innocent of being deeply toxic and likely to run into issues again, it just means a prosecutor wasn’t willing to risk anything other than a clear win as so often happens with these types of cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vintage Consoles: Sega SG-1000⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen a lot of gameplay footage of the SG-1000, and while it doesn’t seem like a bad console for its modest hardware and goals, it is of course easy to see why it so struggled to keep up with the Famicom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GRAN TURISMO - Official Trailer 2 (HD)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As an auto racing fan who gets the commercial for this every commercial break in Indycar or NASCAR, I am at the very least glad that have a different trailer to show hopefully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel Studios' The Marvels | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I really tried on the Ms. Marvel series but it was not for me and I knew it by the second episode, and Captain Marvel was one of the most formulaic, underbaked films of that Phase. Maybe it is just because Guardians being done means whatever strong investments I once had in the MCU are fading away because it’s all just too much of the same, but really nothing that screams out to me that this will be enjoyable though I will ultimately see it (a couple friends and I see every MCU movie despite most of us being super burnt out)
