I am tired of spinoffs *unless* those spinoffs are about fun character or characters solving crimes. Like no way do I ever want another chapter of Mad Men but I will absolutely accept "Peggy Olson solves crimes"

Pop culture wishes for 2023, GO. Some of mine: 1. More of The @AmberMRuffin Show on @peacock, thank you very much 2. For HBO Max to chill the F out 3. More good characters who aren't cops solving crimes 4. Big screen adaptation of SIX, just a concert film, don't overthink it

Re: #4 - normally I would be very "original cast or GTFO" but in this case nah, cough up the money to cast with icons. Give us Beyoncé, Lily, Adele, Cardi or Meghan, Ari or Britney, and Alicia or Janelle.

Long-haulers: If you've got suggestions of any kind for dealing with hair loss and/or mega brain fog, I would dearly love to hear them. (If you're not dealing with long COVID, this is not aimed at you, but if you want to send good thoughts through the ether...) #LongCovid

It's absolutely not meaningless to contribute to him being publicly humiliated by this poll.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

PSA:
Here comes my annual plea to fellow critics: Don't overlook contemporary costume design. Glass Onion! Bodies Bodies Bodies! Nope! Everything Everywhere All At Once! Those feature some of the very best designs of the year. Don't restrict yourself to movies with bustles and armor!

Stephanie's outfits in Everything Everywhere All At Once were next-level whimsical and really suited her personality and the chaos she was causing.
