Christopher Nolan says one problem with modern amateur criticism for films is people recognizing a narrative trope & seeing that as a negative.

5 minutes into Spider-Man 1 and Uncle Ben saying “the corporations are downsizing the people, and upsizing their profits”

There’s this moment in Spider-Man: Brand New Day where Spider-Man admits and apologizes for something he unwittingly did while a person was under mind-control. It’s really stuck with me. It’s the act of a good person. I hope every kid takes that with them. That’s my Peter Parker.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

"The fact that others are cowardly doesn’t make what I do brave." Great evergreen quote and mantra I think we could all stand to internalize

and shoutout Peter for swinging MJ home after THAT scene and telling her what happened on the rooftop. that’s exactly what a character who’s a role model for millions of children should be seen doing i’ll always love you Spider-Man

Hemp/THC products are now a felony in TX.
A DUI isn’t a felony until 3 DUI’s.
Over 13,000 alcohol related deaths each year in TX.
0 Hemp/THC related deaths ever because = harmless plant.

The ban will cost the industry $7.5 billion dollars and 40,201 jobs in TX. Around $260 million in annual sales tax disappears, with an estimated $10.2 billion reduction in economic activity overall.

Who benefits financially? Alcohol companies, state government from insane regulatory fees, prison systems.

Yes! Thought I was the only one getting Fallen vibes! 👏🏾

This is why I loved the initial FALLEN-style villiany. The usual "evil monologuing" was uncommonly effective and unnerving via regular New Yorkers played by mostly unknown character actors.

Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it. Is this what we call a democracy when the representatives of a state will openly defy the will of voters because incarceration rates went down so much and prisons lost money? Texas is a fucking republican-ran hellhole.

Happy Spider-Man Day 🕷️🕸️

[sara ✪ 🕸️(BND SPOILERS) @sarathesorcerer]

this scene i had the biggest smile on my face like spiderman is hope itself.

[gio @janemargclis]

this scene in the movie hit me so hard i almost started feeling suicidal out of solidarity

[Georgia Coley @artwithinpod]

this bit and the scene where Peter tells her and apologizes for what happened when [spoiler] was controlling her mind really made my heart feel so good. it actually felt like the movie was demanding that MJ be granted dignity and agency at every turn

[🖤 @chrisisclueless]

This girl is so funny I don’t even care that she’s British

Mahershala Ali has called out Marvel for ‘BLADE’ never happening.

“You had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie... I feel ready to move on from the Blade questions. Those questions are for them.”
