That mentality is the reason Paul Blart: Mall Cop made almost $200,000,000 total box office, and in the process proved to me definitively that there is no god.

You know, generally people grow out of the “jingle keys” level of enjoyment and actually need something more than loud, bright, and moving to keep their attention. I’m glad you’re able to watch schlock and get some entertainment out of it, but you won’t get any less out of it with your viewing style with a smart or…

I’m not saying that every story has to be revolutionary... I’m just saying that I don’t see why you’d be interested in the moviegoing experience at all if you’re only interested in the visuals. What do you do during the parts of the movie where they’re focused on the plot or setup? The action usually occupies a…

I’m sorry, but as an artist and writer myself that mentality really pains me. I wish less people had that mentality

I never got that mentality... if you’re only interested in the exciting visuals, why see a movie at all? You could just wait until someone uploads all the fight scenes and watch them on Youtube. If I’m actually going to go watch a film I’d like for the story to at least not be so bad that it distracts me from enjoying…

How much you want to bet the io9 review will be dripping with scene after scene cock fluffing where it will be the BEST EVAH! OMG! AMAZING!

Yup, it was Kenny Daneyko. He’s not the sharpest knife in the block.

It’s fitting that he’s paying homage to Scott Stevens on Christmas tree jersey night.

I, on the other hand, read the article. Well done, as always. Sadly, I suspect that thoughtful remarks, if any, on an ingrained culture of athletic privilege are going to be drowned out by “I would put up with [insert-offensive-behavior-here] for $300K”. If you are the latter, then you have missed the point entirely.

I can tell you how they kept it covered for two decades; the same way every athlete factory shuts up talk of their players’ crimes: They tell the local press to shut up, the local press nods its head and says, ‘Yes, sir. Hope we do well in the postseason, sir.’

Or, more accurately, when a new incident of her being attacked by him happened. Too bad this was tl;dr or you might have caught that.

tl;dr version: America holds out anodyne white man as pure, moral idol because he is white and vilifies black man who refuses to be quiet and respectful; America and white man deservingly get hoist on their collective petard for something no one would have noticed but for the vilification; the system works.

I ... what is the relevance of the color of her skin or who she dated?

Scalia was totally okay with free speech when his corporate sponsors didn’t tell him otherwise.

Yes, telling black people that they aren’t smart enough for “fast-paced colleges” (lol) is disagreeing. Also glad he’s dead.

We are winning. SO fuck you.

Something about broken clocks.

Not sure if making an obvious point for freedom of speech makes up for the blatant racism, homophobia, misogyny, and overall regressive policies.

Okay, fine. So once in a blue moon, he was right. Still: fuck him and good riddance. I don’t care that the man just died. The beautiful honesty of Atheism I guess.

As long as you don’t dye/stain your skin it’s fine. Same as long as it’s not a racist caricature version.
