FWIW, although Louis CK would be rated TV-MA for sexual content, I meant to write sexual assault.

Eskar-
1,944 percent? Wouldn’t you just be a giant set of eyelashes with tiny dangling legs? Or am I just terrible at mathematical concepts?
OK, but if I was a journalist and I had a source who would not go on the record, I could write a story and report that Louis CK is guilty of sexual content based on my anonymous, confidential source, backing them up with my integrity as a reporter, with hopefully my news organization backing me up with their integrity…
what?
Yeah, I see that the New York Times has a confidential tip reporting page, as does I assume every major news organization, but unless you link me to a Times article saying basically “Do you know if Loius CK is guilty of some heinous shit? Because we don’t! Let us know!” I’m still going to give Jezebel a straight up…
I’m sure, though they are owned by Univision, that Jezebel do not have near the resources of The Times. That doesn’t mean you can print whatever shit you want and then get pissed when people have justified doubts about the veracity of the reporting. Well, you can, but seriously, don’t do that. But no, although…
Obviously, seeking out sources is good. When Jezebel did that though it just struck me as lazy. I pictured the author shaking their head, shrugging, putting their hands up in surrender, saying “Wait... how do we do news?” But, it’s possible a valid source could have been cultivated from that approach. However, I admit…
No, it’s like hearing from a friend of a friend of a friend who read a story on Jezebel of a rumor about a pool of blood five feet away from a severed hand, and wondering if anyone has actually seen the goddamn severed hand.
Or, is it possible that now that some accusers have come forward, now there is plenty to talk about? Yes, a lot of people were huuuuge assholes about it, but The New York Times ran a story about it with interviews and sources. They weren’t just reprinting unverified rumors. They did journalistic work. I swear I…
It’s just that thing peopl always say, that instead of spending a couple hundred million on a bland blockbuster, why not spend it all on a bunch of smaller movies and give smaller filmmakers an opportunity to tell original stories. That’s kind of what Netflix is to me right now, but the results have not been all that…
There’s room for well done gentle dramas in both theaters and on Netflix. Tele-movies means nothing. When the next film by Nicole Holofcener comes out I won’t be rushing to the movies to get the theatrical experience, but that doesn’t make it any less of a movie, or any less worthy of award consideration.
Both of the first two Thor movies have value, but both had problems as well. My biggest problem with the first Thor was that it felt like Thor should have been banished to Earth for a longer period of time to really change his attitude in a believable way. Watching it, it felt like a week passed, which is kind of…
Iron Man 3 is a top tier MCU film, and people HATE it. I love it, and I love that they hate it. Is this why we have Trump?
I tried to fight him maybe an hour into the game and he KO’d my entire party with one hit. I was far from completing the game. I did defeat him after I beat the game and was over 800 might, but it was tough. A real game of chess, but with more farts.
Spider-Man would have been more effective had his appearance been a surprise. Keeping Hulk a secret would have been a poor decision as no one likes Thor movies. I mean... I do, but they’re not events. Selling Thor in a combo deal with The Hulk gave a lot more people reason to see it.
Damn... why did I legally change my name to Batman?
I think you can call someone an ignorant piece of shit racist without resorting to derogatory comments about their physical appearance?
But that’s exactly my point. This is not the gospel of Tolkien. Though I might argue that Shelob as written is not “more fundamentally evil and twisted” than Sauron, this game (which is essentially fan fiction, I get it) takes a peripheral character and builds an interesting story around it that is not in the text, or…
Sucks for his wife though.
