Maybe we need a layer in between pop culture and Great Art.

Possibly, in the same way running around in the snow naked is going to exacerbate a cold. It’s not the root of the problem. You could remove all the violence from pop culture, and there would still be mass shootings in America.

Because in the 70s and 80s, the psycho faction of the NRA, which until that point had been all about education programs and responsible gun control, took over the group and turned it into a lobbying firm that created the line that the “well-regulated militia” bit didn’t mean anything, all the way to the point where in…

For some reason, Pixar is weirdly bad at making teasers and previews.

Get Out’s box office take is so far $255,000,000. Even if people caught the matinee, and everyone only saw it once, that’s only 25,000,000 people having seen Get Out, in a country of over 350 million.
