in superman: the movie, marlon brando (as jor-el) constantly refers to the planet krypton as "crip-tin." in no other incarnation of superman since 1939 has any other person ever referred to it with this pronunciation.

i think about this a lot.
i swear to god i've been obsessing over this for maybe 35 years. it feels good to talk about it.
cause, see, in the SAME DAMN MOVIE, christopher reeve and margot kidder pronounce it correctly -- multiple times.
have i mentioned i love this movie and its my favorite movie? lol.

"I have just been informed that Snap, Crackle, and Pop have been brutally murdered in what police are saying is a ritualistic homicide. We apparently have a brand mascot serial killer on the loose."

Hello, I'm Oliver Willis, and you're listening to Cereal, a true crime podcast.
"And when you walked into the room, what did you see?"

"It was just brown. Brown everywhere. I felt sick."

"Did you know it right then, that the brown M & M was dead?"

"When I saw his peanut, I knew."

And now a word from Casper...
"How long did you work with Ernie?"

"God, it must have been 20, 30 years. We grew up in the trunk of this tree with each other."

"Was there any hint? Any clue?"

"I mean, he was the nicest guy. Even today, I don't totally believe that an elf like him could... *sob*"

jamie dimon is worth $1.7 billion
as someone who is a capitalist myself, the last people who should be attacking socialism - or really, moderate economic ideas that aren't really socialism - should be literal mustache-twirling capitalist tycoons and bankers
billionaire tycoons who caused the longest recession in modern history are against populist reforms?

Ok, we're doing this.

This isn't actually hard. Not only do we have YEARS of stories and other adaptations that have done him well, but #CaptainAmerica proves this type of character works.

So this is how I'd do #Superman in a movie:

[THREAD TIME]
Open on Krypton.

Yes, we are doing a version of the origin again but keep this prologue no more than 15 minutes max. Don't make half the movie the origin. There's an important reason we're doing it this way trust me. [2/29]
It's the basic version of the Kryptonian part of the origin with one important thing: Establish that Krypton didn't listen to Jor-El because their society's central AI said it analyzed Jor-El's data & claimed there was no cause for alarm. [3/29]

Moin. Was schreiben die Zeitungen zur Wahl in #Thüringen? Wir haben für Euch einen kleinen Überblick zur #LTW19 hier im #Thread. Und wir fangen mit dem unsäglichen Hufeisen-Reden an:
Matthias Dell beklagt @zeitonline, »…In den Sendungen zur Thüringen-Wahl war oft die Rede von den ›Rändern‹. Die Gleichsetzung der Linken mit der AfD verhindert eine adäquate Auseinandersetzung mit Rechts…«

zeit.de/kultur/film/20…
Ähnlich @jana_hensel, die am Wahlabend gegen das vernehmbare Hufeisen-Reden antwitterte: »Die Linkspartei ist im Osten eine Partei der demokratischen Mitte. Hört auf sie, an den Rand zu schieben.«

Brisante E-Mail des früheren Referatsleiters für Rechtsextremismus im Amt für Verfassungsschutz #Thüringen, über die heute @TAOnline berichtet. Auch uns @AfD_Thueringen wurde die Mail zugeschickt. Einige Anmerkungen dazu: (Thread)

thueringer-allgemeine.de/politik/streit…
Das u.a. für "Auswertung Rechtsextremismus" zuständige Fachreferat 52 soll VS-Chef Kramer bei Prüfung einzelner #AfD-bezogener Sachverhalte "bewusst außen vor gelassen" haben. Später soll er eine Einbindung ausdrücklich untersagt haben. "In höchstem Maße ungewöhnlich". (2/…)
Auch die öffentlichkeitswirksame Verkündung des "Prüffalls #AfD" soll entgegen der ausdrücklichen Empfehlung der Fachleute im zuständigen Referat 52 erfolgt sein. Noch 2 Tage vor der PK soll auch die Stabsstelle Controlling von der öffentlichen Verkündung abgeraten haben. (3/…)

En los discursos de aceptación de los Oscars, se le ha dado a Steven Spielberg las gracias más que a dios. Aquí están las estadísticas que a quienes se le han dado más las gracias con una estatuilla en la mano.

La leyenda urbana de que todos los relojes en Pulp Fiction están parados a las 4:20 es falsa. Algunos sí, pero no todos ni mucho menos. Hay relojes importantes en la trama que ni de cerca.

Sería muy interesante armar el maratón de #MCU alrededor de #Avengers, pero acomodando todas las escenas de todas las películas en una sola línea temporal. No incluyo las series por que sería sumamente largo y complicado.

Abro #hilo y me explico.
#AvengersElHilo
Actualmente hay dos formas (bueno hay un chingo) en que puedes ver todas las películas del Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel:
1.- En el orden cronológico de lanzamiento, es decir comenzar con #IronMan (2008), hasta llegar a #AvengersEndgame (2019).
2.- Viéndolas en orden cronológico de tiempo de los eventos, es decir, comenzar con lo que sucedió primero con #CaptainAmerica: The First Avenger y terminando con #AvengersEndgame. Esto sin contar los "flashbacks" con los que comienzan algunas como #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy

El último tango en París o una historia de engaño colectiva

Con motivo de la muerte de Bertolucci, la red se ha llenado de titulares sobre “la violación a María Schneider”.

Los comentarios, plagados de gente escandalizada. Había sido real.
La historia se remonta a 2013, año en que Bertolucci da una entrevista en la Cinémathèque Francaise. Pero no sería hasta tres años más tarde, cuando El Mundo de Alycia subtitularía el vídeo, y es entonces cuando trasciende. ¿Por qué?
Curiosamente, en el vídeo lo subtitulan refiriéndose a “La escena de la mantequilla se nos ocurrió”, y entonces hay un corte. En realidad dice “Los ‘secretos de escena’ de la mantequilla, es una idea que tuve...” y empieza a hablar de la mantequilla. Pero esto ya no se ve.
