In a 4,500-word essay published in Harper’s Magazine, Emily Wilson, known for her popular translation of the Minions epic poem, blasted the latest film Thursday as a “sexless, bloodless” adaptation. “The first line of my translation is ‘Tell me about a kooky Minion,’ but the Minions in director Pierre Coffin’s film—who has said in at least one interview he was directly inspired by my work—aren’t kooky at all,” said the University of Pennsylvania classic scholar, who published a popular and highly praised translation of the 2,700-year-old Minions And Monsters poem in 2017.

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

it's scary the amount of people who wholeheartedly believe that men and women are fundamentally different creatures

On this day, 29 July 1962, fascist aristocrat Oswald Mosley attempted to march through Manchester. However he was attacked by anti-fascists who knocked him to the ground, and had to be rescued and escorted by 250 police, who were unable to prevent the fascist being pelted with tomatoes, eggs, coins and stones. Following the march Mosley attempted to speak but he was drowned out by a crowd of 5,000 anti-fascists who forced police to call off the meeting after just seven minutes. Clashes between local residents and fascist Blackshirts continued for some time, and the police arrested 47 people. As in most similar cases, the majority of those arrested were anti-fascists. We speak to someone who was there that day in our bonus podcast episode 37.1, about struggles against Mosley in the 1960s, available exclusively for our supporters on Patreon.

[ID: Eight screencaps from Taskmaster. A sheet of paper is shown, with a message partially redacted with black tape. It now reads, "(Blank) yourself (blank). Most (blank) necessary (blank) wins. You have (blank) minutes. Your time starts (blank)." Amy Gledhill says pensively, "It can't... I mean, it can't be... It can't be, 'Finger yourself silly.' That would be outrageous." Later, in the studio, she says, "I don't know why that was the first thing that came to mind. I don't really think that you would have asked that of us." Greg Davies replies, "What I liked about it is you weren't making a joke. You were really just working through it." End ID.]

I feel like tumblr should be bigger fans of The Blues Brothers. It's a movie that has everything we value as a community. Attention and respect to pioneering black musicians, open hostility to nazis, open defiance to police, Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher and flamethrower, a soundtrack that goes hard as hell, John Belushi so blasted on cocaine that he continues to do somersaults despite having a broken ankle. It's got it all!

[radwolf76]

Frank Oz is the jail's discharge clerk when Belushi gets out of jail at the beginning.

Not getting into ending spoilers but Steven Spielberg plays a character who is pivotal to the climax of the film.

Ray Charles fires a warning shot from a pistol at a shoplifter.

They did location filming in a mall that had closed the previous year in 1978. The production fucked that mall up so bad that it remained abandoned until it was finally demolished in 2012.

A total of 60 cop cars are fucking destroyed in the movie.

[once-a-polecat]

It’s got Aretha Franklin as a sarcastic diner owner with her own back-up dancers. Chaka Khan is a soloist in the choir. And the whole scene set to Cab Calloway’s Minnie the Moocher is so spectacular I won’t ruin it for you.

The Onion’s journalism is the only journalism that matters. Holy fuck.
