Kieran Culkin winning an Oscar? Feels like something out of a fever dream—or, more accurately, something Roman Roy would joke about before immediately self-sabotaging. But here we are. And if there’s anyone who deserves the gold for effortlessly blending comedy, pain, and raw authenticity, it’s him. At 42, Culkin has perfected the art of playing characters who are walking contradictions—hilarious yet heartbreaking, cocky yet deeply insecure, lovable yet completely insufferable. It’s a niche, but
Tip: Offline Love is currently streaming on Netflix. All ten episodes are out, and I highly recommend it! Last week, I stumbled on a Peliplat post by marvelousmars titled “Before Sunrise, or, uh, Before I Sleep I Guess?”. The writer complains about the fakeness of dating apps and reminisces about the romance of chance encounters on trains—her words dripping with a longing for that pre-internet kind of love. No sooner had I finished her post than Netflix’s algorithm recommended a Japanese dating
Hot comment: Siempre tendremos nostalgia por los buenos logros de épocas anteriores. Algo semejante pasa con las canciones de los 60s, 70s, 80s. Y ya que tu hiciste referencia a la vieja y noble carta, esa forma comunicativa tan amplia -poemas cupieron en ella- alcanzó lo sublime hasta en el estrato popular. Pero la evolución cultural también es implacable, carece de esa cualidad que tienen los automores, la velocidad en reversa. Interesante y bonita reseña.
Leaving the doctor’s office with nothing but a measly inhaler after two months of struggling with bronchitis was beyond frustrating. Waiting for five hours, only to be briefly examined and sent on my way, didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the healthcare system. What made it worse was that my insurance didn’t even cover the cost of the inhaler, and my symptoms didn't start improving until weeks later. This whole experience left me sad, but after being sad I was angry. Realizing I had no real p
Bob Woolsey: This looks great!
She already wondered about it, the Colombian with the white dreams and bare feet, in that incredible, unsurpassable and even reflexive Latin pop album Dónde están los ladrones (Where are the thieves, 1998), one of the most successful of her career and among the best 500 in history, according to Rolling Stone magazine. It is also considered to be one of the 1000 recordings you must listen to before you die, according to Sony Music. In one of its choruses, she sings this: Where are the thieves (Do
Grok /ɡräk/ Verb To understand (something) intuitively or by empathy. “because of all the commercials, children grok things immediately” To empathise or communicate sympathetically; establish a rapport. "nestling earth couple would like to find water brothers to grok with in peace" Coined by American author, Robert Heinlein in the 1960s, the word ‘grok’ was quickly applied to one of the greatest cultural phenomenons ever known to humankind: the iconic science fiction television show, Star Trek.
ReelKen: Bravo—this is the most logical Valentine’s Day manifesto I’ve ever read. You’ve nailed why Spock transcends mere “space himbo” status. That Vulcan-human tension? Pure genius. He’s basically the OG “hot mess” archetype—stoic on the outside, screaming “WHY AM I FEELING THESE THINGS?!” internally.Let’s be real: Spock’s appeal isn’t just the smoldering eyebrows or the nerve pinch (though let’s not undersell those). It’s the tragic irony of a character who suppresses emotion yet radiates more raw drama than a Shakespearean soliloquy. The man could recite Vulcan thermodynamics and make it sound like a love sonnet.Totally agree about Ethan Peck’s glow-up in Strange New Worlds. Quinto’s Spock felt like a moody TikTok edit of the original—all brooding, no nuance. Peck? He’s serving “Vulcan Zaddy” realness while somehow keeping Nimoy’s ghost nodding approvingly from the Great Beyond.Just followed you—hope you can follow back so we can keep sharing thoughts on films like this.
What is it with many people, including myself, that we wish to have a date with fictional characters? Maybe is the fact that she or he checks all the boxes of what you want from a person that you haven't happen being able to meet in real life. Or is it the fact that since it is a fictional character, we can date them inside our imaginary world without the harms we can find in a relationship in real life. This is that occasion where many of us, wish we had the awesome golden ticket from the under
Perhaps you've already seen: Disney's live-action Snow White will be released globally on March 25th, and the creative team is currently promoting it worldwide. At the recent Oscar ceremony, Rachel Zegler, who plays Snow White, and Gal Gadot, who plays the stepmother, were specially invited to present awards together, which predictably sparked another wave of controversy about Snow White's casting. Starting with The Little Mermaid, Disney seems to have taken a bold approach to casting in their l
Dialogue-free “Flow” won this year’s Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Meanwhile, the “Tom and Jerry” series (also notable for its lack of dialogue) had won seven Oscars for Best Animated Short Film. The hilarious love-hate feud between Tom and Jerry has played out over 166 episodes since it first began 85 years ago. I only learned this information at the Fukuoka Art Museum on the day I left Japan in mid-March. That morning, I took a stroll through the city’s largest park, Ohori Park, hop
There’s no millennial girl who hasn’t seen Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), but not everyone has followed up with the sequels. At least, I didn’t. Now it’s 2025, and when Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy came out, I suddenly realized there was a second and third movie that I had completely missed. Where was I all these years? Busy with life, I guess. But jumping straight from the first movie to the fourth? That was a shock. Because in my mind, Bridget was still the slightly chubby, thirty-something
