Casual reminder that Jak is best friends with Daxter

[Natalie Wynn @ContraPoints]

casual reminder that Jax is an abuser

@LexG_III Always imagine him covering his ears and slapping his head when one of these CDs has the songs mixed into the tracklist. Too autistic about the album experience to skip them but still absolutely repulsed by this noisy rock or hip hop interfering with his Danny Elfman strings

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@LexG_III Lol at him calling it Jackass 2 also

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@LexG_III Kind of an extremely shitty move for her to just strand him at a gas station hundreds of miles away from home in the middle of a torrential downpour. Probably could’ve used some charts and graphs to explain how he got back so fast

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@LexG_III Blunt pioneering new levels of dingbat in this

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

The number of women around Rodrigo’s age I have met irl who love all those British post-punk bands really puts the lie to this immediately lol also there’s video footage of her nerding out over being on stage with David Byrne. I don’t think her liking The Cure is a stretch lol

[Tayvis "wedding" fatigue @tayvisfatigue]

Proof that 70s/80s music references in her songs are Dan Nigro's doing. The Cure and yacht rock and other obscure bands she's brought up in interviews are the music taste of a 45 year old white man, not a girl in her 20s. She's always trying too hard with these references.

@zach_vasquez I like a decent amount of Shyamalan but I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that Scorsese’s worst (Boxcar and Who’s That Knocking don’t count) handily beats Shyamalan’s best lol

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@zach_vasquez Horseshoe theory is obviously dumb, but bc of the recent push to make opposing Israel the primary focus of The Movement, a lot of online far-left conspiracy theories really are just becoming indistinguishable from far-right ones lol

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@theoceanblooms 100mg of Vyvanse feels so awesome until it ruins your sleep schedule for the next five days lol

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

It definitely unravels a bit as the movie goes on, but the opening half-hour or so of Disclosure Day is among the best I’ve seen in some time and so much of that is due to Koepp’s ability to convey as much character building and exposition as possible through action

[Alter @AlterStreams]

some of you are simply not ready for David Koepp auteurism. But it’s coming.

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@jailedamanda It also feels worth noting that I haven’t seen this take that much in the past five years or so and now that he’s released a divisive, very boomer lib movie, a bunch of people have decided his movies are “evil” (a word we really need to retire when talking about movies) again lol

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@LexG_III I hope he said this out loud to the 19 year old city college student who tore his ticket

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@LexG_III Dude, I just saw Disclosure Day, and I’m 100% positive tomorrow’s 1030am Showcase Denham audience is going to be treated to full on Monty Conducting to the John Williams score

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

I honestly think you need to get your hearing checked if you think this is unintelligible

[philip matarese @philorphilip]

they started the trailer with "I want to make something clear" followed by the most unintelligible sentence I've ever heard

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@Madmaddingcrowd Absolutely wild how everyone thought “This multi-million dollar ad campaign is an intentional white supremacist dogwhistle” was a more likely explanation than “this is an ill-conceived joke about her huge tits that no one involved really thought through”

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

Can not begin to understand what has to be wrong with an ostensibly heterosexual man’s mind to hear that a woman has her nipples pierced and be disgusted rather than intrigued. Same goes for when a girl has a bunch of tattoos. You are supposed to think that is hot, guys!

[bridget @pacinocrave]

people irl: wow that sounds like a really fun birthday!

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

I’m just the right height where meeting a woman my exact height is rare enough to be special but not so rare as to be impossible so anyway 5’11” women hmu

[nia @only_shans_]

same height relationships are so hot

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@faceuh8 She’s Always a Woman the obvious answer here

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@theoceanblooms Like I really feel like I’m going insane the way so many people are trying to turn this post into something it isn’t. Also, feel like people are drastically overestimating the number of offers an art director gets after a movie they worked on blows up like this lol

[Mark Joseph @slithersloth]

@theoceanblooms Also, the amount of leaping one has to do to read that post as “biting the hand that feeds” or calling out Curry Barker specifically (which I’ve even some people who agree with the sentiment of the post try to turn into) is wild. She is obv criticizing the industry as a whole lol
