Saturday Night Stever

Hi, my name is Steeeeughhhhhhh....Why am I even doing this? Who are you? Why are you reading this? STOP LOOKING AT ME! Please look at me.

@EmmaTolkin It’s a very tight competition, but yes. I believe you’re right.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@EmmaTolkin The Curse? (But he’s not a kid and he does suck.)

@richdecamp @Pappiness And the sole purpose of an AR15 is… ?

Criticizing movies for having plot holes is one of the least interesting ways to engage with art

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@mattzollerseitz One of my favorite movies to introduce to people. You have to be selective, because it’s not for all tastes, but so much fun to recommend to the right person.

@ashleynaftule After the elation of hearing we’re getting a new short story collection I went to order it and realized I have to wait until mid-September. Ugh. It’s a good thing I get off on pre-ordering books.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@ashleynaftule Did you ever get to “Our Share of Night”

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@BBW_BFF This is surprising. I feel like before it slipped into relative obscurity, it was generally well-regarded as superior popcorn entertainment. When did people start talking shit about it?

@teeboysmith4u @PmPerisu @BenHartWithNoE RotJ is such a mess. ILM and John Williams out there giving it their all and everyone else is just ticking off boxes and cashing paychecks. I sincerely love TPM and its myriad incomprehensible creative decisions, but RotJ just makes me sad.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@PmPerisu @BenHartWithNoE I’m not defending or criticizing The Acolyte, but to pretend the prequels demonstrated solid storytelling or character development is wild, pal. I’m beginning to wonder if you’ve seen anything other than a Star War.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@PmPerisu @BenHartWithNoE I mean, I love me some Star Wars, but “childish and clumsy” describes 90% of Star Wars storytelling.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@PmPerisu @BenHartWithNoE “Star Wars is all about a well told story and good character arcs.”

@headfallsoff Anakin is from Tatooine, he built C-3PO, and Owen Lars is his step-brother.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@SiddhantAdlakha “They” may not discriminate, but the screeners—human and otherwise—they contract to weed out “less-qualified” applicants sure as hell do. Layers and layers of willful blindness and plausible deniability built into this shit.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@ashleynaftule It’s so fucking good. Just filmmaking at another level. I love how Miller repeats himself and doesn’t. Like a musician returning to the same song, but finding new combinations and resonances. Like they’re endlessly trying to pick a lock in the back of their head.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@Jiwan_Ko_Pani @Emm_Initiative This helps me understand what you see as the perceived motives behind "wokeness," but your original post referred to "woke ideals." What exactly are those ideals? Why do you feel recent ST is pushing these ideals beyond an acceptable threshold?

@VyceVictus

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@bigmoutherapist @AndrewBeckUSA Counterpoint: He’s an entrepreneur who found a niche market, successfully built a brand that appeals to that market, and continues to generate product that draws new consumers to his product. Sounds like a first-rate Capitalist to me.

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@Jiwan_Ko_Pani @Emm_Initiative Hmm… let’s make a list of things that don’t get one “canceled”:
- consensual sex with other adults
- maintaining appropriate boundaries with one’s colleagues
- taking “no” for an answer

It’s actually really easy to not get canceled (also, “cancel culture” is a myth.)

[Saturday Night Stever @nancyreagan2000]

@Jiwan_Ko_Pani @Emm_Initiative And I find the fear that a vaguely defined “woke” boogey man will make me feel uncomfortable to be the attitude of very old men.
