Trying to eat your cereal quickly to avoid having to eat soggy cereal is something that you don’t really see in most popular media and it’s ALSO not something that happens much in real life. And yet in newspaper comics it’s absolutely everywhere. I mean, it’s pretty much a constant source of hijinks. So what’s going on there? Are the people who write the Sunday funnies eating cereal differently than the rest of us?

they had to cut so many good stories out of supersonic (2016) but they never compromised on those 25ish seconds of gay noel and clint footage

Unexpectedly deep moments of characterization in the soundtrack to Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping that do not appear in the full movie:

#1: Hunter the Hungry is a pretty one-note parody of early Tyler the Creator. His whole character consists of being a loud and offensive shock-rapper, and there's little indication in the movie he's anything more than that. But then there's this one lyric in the full version of "Hunter the Hungry is Gon' Eat":

Snort more keys than a boss Steal more ball than a game that's lame Blah blah, rap rap rap rap rap You get it, you get it, everybody gets it

It's notable that, at this last line, the backing track disappears and Hunter sounds notably less enthused. Holy shit, this raises so many questions! Is Hunter expressing self-loathing here, or is this line supposed to suggest Hunter looks down on his own fans? (I think it's the former, which makes his selling out at the movie's end much more tragic) Is it even diegetic? Did the character of Hunter put this into his song in-universe, or is the soundtrack non-canon?

#2: There's a basically soundtrack-exclusive song (I say "basically" because you can faintly hear it in the background of a party scene for like 3 seconds) called "Legalize It", which is a comedic reggae pastiche in which Connor recounts a time he accidentally smoked crack cocaine and subsequently became addicted. One of the main gags in the song is Connor's aggressive, cracked-out adlibs being screamed over a soothing reggae song. And you know what one of those adlibs is? "Ki-Yah". As in the chorus from "Karate Guy", the Style Boyz' breakout pop hit. In the Popstar timeline, Connor made Legalize It years after the Style Boyz' initial breakup and years before their eventual tear-jerking reunion! And yet, despite claiming he never even thinks about those days, when he gets high on crack he starts reminiscing about their old songs! You have to listen to his delivery, too, he sounds anguished.
