there was this thing for a brief time called the 'erotic thriller' which is where you take a cinemax softcore movie and cast Michael Douglas in it (or, failing that, a Baldwin)

if you wanna watch something thats horny and fun check out Cat People (1982) and if you wanna watch something thats horny and sucks check out Breeders (1986)

edit: none of those movies contain Baldwins or Douglasi but Cat People is properly fuckin star studded and Breeders also exists and is on film

can you make me a list of 3-5 other big budget softcore pornos? i have a 3 day weekend to kill

Speaking of soft core sex thrillers, there's a fairly fun camp / horror piece that just came out, Suitable Flesh, with Heather Graham and Barbara Crampton. Super low budget, and the first half an hour is a bit slow, but once it gets moving it's fun.

That's like 80% of Superman stories that don't involve gorillas (and some that do) and not even in the top ten actual problems with that movie

“There’s a real moralistic judgment of Disney adults,” she says. “It’s like, ‘How dare you, instead of putting all this money into buying a house or raising a family, put [it] into fleeting experiences?’ But that probably corresponds with changing cultural expectations for young adults.” Whereas boomers and Gen X’ers would probably have felt uncomfortable buying Toy Story alien popcorn buckets or freely professing their horniness for the Robin Hood cartoon fox, millennials feel more of a “freedom to follow their own obsessions,” she says. “There is a generational difference here, where millennials are allowed to be more juvenile. But now all of a sudden they’ve become sort of cringey. You’re expected to grow out of it in a way, or at least hide it.”

In the wake of the Don’t Say Gay uproar, Wade, who is bisexual, was angry enough at the company’s handling of the controversy to let her annual pass lapse, and she has yet to buy any more merch. To an extent, she is still embedded within the company; she works part time as a Disney vacation planner, and still makes Disney content. But the past few months have been a “rough time” for her fandom, she says. “They could do a lot more to be inclusive and show I’m more than just a dollar sign.”

...

I am not, and never have been, a person for whom joy really comes in consistent supply. But at Disney, it’s nothing less than an IV in my arm. Even the meticulous planning of the daily schedule gives me more of a sense of satisfaction than I feel in my everyday life. And considering how hard joy is for me to come by, I feel no need to apologize for that. Ultimately, neither does Parrish.

“There’s an expectation for Disney adults of what kinds of feelings they should have in the park,” he says. “People who think Disney is only for kids, they’re not thinking of how our sense of joy can evolve over time. And I think there’s an element of jealousy toward the Disney adult, that they are able to live so freely.”

I don't make fun of Disney adults because they aren't saving money to buy a house and instead spend money on something that makes them happy. I make fun of Disney adults because the thing that makes them happy is stupid.

"Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. ... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives," Judge Scalia said. Then, recalling Season 2, where the agent's rough interrogation tactics saved California from a terrorist nuke, the Supreme Court judge etched a line in the sand.

"Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?" Judge Scalia challenged his fellow judges. "Say that criminal law is against him? 'You have the right to a jury trial?' Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I don't think so.

"So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes."

It's kind of funny that Disney ended up on top because Disney has been synonymous with mid tier garbage since the 1960's. Joel Dante did a great parody of Disney movies from that era in Matinee:

Holy poo poo some people are really tattling on themselves with these takes - man there are no good young actors these days better go watch episode 2,000 of ASIP and AMERICAN DAD to alleviate my increasing disconnection with relevant culture.

If you have a lovely uninformed opinion, expressing it with vapid confidence actually has the opposite effect.

I understand the timeline and reasons why, but it's still so odd to me that Taylor Swift was popular, then sort of popular, then S-Tier Super Star popular over the course of like twenty years.

It's hard to think of any analogues to this in any medium really.
