Padme Amidala listening to Anakin talk about the virtues of fascist governance

I'm capable of thinking critically about film but my official stance on a given movie I liked will almost always boil down to "I love da movies"

in the book, dracula is killed by an american cowboy

every time i see this poster i want to slam my head into a plate glass window

Oh no my sexual preferences randomly happened to align to exclude a historically marginalized group of people! It has nothing to do with all the movies and TV I grew up with that called those people gross and repulsive! It's just a really weird coincidence!

remember when we had a companion who was a foster baby and didn’t know what her mom looked like so the doctor just went back in time with his tardis and took a bunch of pictures of her and gave them to said companion because that was a thing he could do very easily

it’s insane that kirk van houton’s concern that milhouse might have two spaghetti meals in one day happened in a treehouse of horror episode and is therefore noncanonical phone banker: ok and is there anything that’s been keeping you up at night about the election

Every scene in that SNL biopic
