    I saw Heat for the first time last night at Quentin Tarantino’s theater and it was fucking awesome. Glad I put off watching it at home over the years. My ears were ringing by the end.

    My local movie theater is highlighting a different employee each week. One of the questions they ask is favorite movie and one guy said Sucker Punch. I am surprised that is anyone's favorite.

    Movies like High Fidelity and stuff like Quentin Tarantino's real life story made me think the local video stores and theaters were full of film and music buffs but they have really vanilla tastes.

    I mean for a lot of people it’s just a job.

    Every GameStop I have been to seems to be staffed pretty much exclusively by big video game needs, though.

    I think it’s odder when I find an English teacher who isn’t into pop culture

    On Wednesday I was doing a presentation and I asked our English teacher for the protagonist of the Great Gatsby and she said she hadn't read it. I was floored.

    When I worked at a movie theater we had our favorite movie listed on our name-tag and you’d be surprised what some people put. One dude put “The Nun”. Another guy just said “Drake & Josh”.

    That is why I was surprised because I thought film fans would gravitate toward the job. It is entry level for most people but the free movies perk would seem to draw a certain type.

    The Main Art (RIP, still not over it) had a Valentine's Day collage made by the employees with each of their favorite on-screen couples, In the Mood for Love was my favorite of those represented but I laughed at the person who put the shot of Ben Affleck in front of the missing person poster in Gone Girl

    Anyone who followed political Twitter in 2015-2016 got a preview of this, where attacking Hillary Clinton from the left was white male privilege, even though Clinton is white.

    Of course, this goes on while the company that produces these movies is trying hard to erase its long history of racist portrayals in movies, shows, and even theme park rides.

    People have been coding hatful messages into criticism for a long time, good faith authors unconscious biases will also seep into their criticism, and fans will blindly hate you whenever you critic anything they love. Being a critic is tough, you're going to get attacked.
