wow. you really blew the lid off of trauma.

Alright, straw that broke the camel’s back. I gotta find a new site to read with discourse on media. Any recommendations? I loved this place in the 2012-2018 stretch but it’s a shell and it makes me unhappy to read it.

“Finally”? Have you seen a movie?

This was written by someone who thinks history began in 2016. 

It’s “concept creep”:

Chinatown?

The Godfather trilogy?

“we don’t witness the parent both receiving and then transmitting their trauma, something intrinsic in all parent/child relationships.”

Had this been made, it probably would have been a Breakfast of Champions-level disaster. I’m a big Far Side fan and I like both Alan Rudolph’s Alan Rudolph movies (stuff like Trouble in Mind, The Moderns, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle) and his non-Rudolph movies, including weird items like Endangered Species. So…

I kinda hate all sides in this one

Wow. I didn’t know it was possible to hate absolutely everyone involved in all sides of something this much. He sounds dumb, her responses are lame, and the other tweets highlighted are moronic too.

I get that hardcore lefties got scared by Buttigieg and how his campaign aimed for the center so successfully, but it doesn’t make the smear campaign against him look any less unmotivated and ridiculous. It’s like MAGA, only more intellectually insufferable.

If Jacobin and The Root had a stupid baby, it would be this.

This article was brought to you by the campaign to elect Bernie Sanders.

Even by AVC standards, this one is just pure bile. Yeesh.

Shadow Republican? Billionaire bootkisser?

What an unnecessarily pissy article.

Why is it that no writer at any point was ever willing to just commit to Kylo being a villain? He’s a wretched little rat bastard, he doesn’t need redemption just because his grandad did. Just let him be evil!

I’m firmly of the opinion that while TLJ is a pretty good movie with some things I hate, I would have preferred a pure JJ Abrams trilogy rather than, as someone else posted in response to this story, two movies shouting at another one.

I think introducing a new primary villain in the ninth movie is slightly different than introducing a new mentor character in the second movie, but *shrug*
