the reason nobody bothers to write continuity anymore is because fans can always be relied upon to make their own convoluted explanations and theories that inevitably have to be reworked when the next movie comes up with something even dumber

i always wondered how you can make money off this kind of content without getting sued into the ground by whoever holds the copyright. they make about 4k on patreon every month. how different is it to trying to sell fanfiction?

the 100 or so paid critics that are left in the us do this too, with rare exceptions like ignatiy vishnevetsky.

Al Pastor is shawarma made by Mexicans of Lebanese descent - hence the marinade, vertical spit, etc. Taco of the Pastor/Shepard and all. Although that still doesn't explain it, I think it's cool.

the only thing about her style that gets annoying is the repetition of some clip from a movie to make the point (I ate the whole plate, why does it hurt, etc.)

still her series on the hobbit's really good, especially since it turned into a series about the effect tolkein movies had on new zealand's labour laws.
