What did I hope would happen? Nothing. I don’t have a dog in this fight. But I do feel compelled to respond to brosephs with an axe to grind who are incapable or unwilling to empathize with someone because they have not and will not ever find themselves in the same situation. You say she was “given the opportunity” to…

I’ve never heard of Stephanie Mills, but I’m okay with people I’ve never heard of being called legends. There’s plenty of people I consider legendary - say, Paul Westerberg - that 9 out of 10 folks would not know the first thing about.

Did you mean to respond to me? Because everything you just wrote was already addressed in the very post you responded to. I’ll try to summarize even more briefly:

Of course, the massive fucking hole in all of this is that Jewish actors and actresses are not underrepresented in Hollywood.

I’m still trying to figure out what’s so fucking hard to understand about her actions. She posted a blog without naming names, but put in enough details so pretty much everyone would know who she’s talking about. Obviously, she didn’t name him to avoid potential legal trouble. In it, she mentions how she isn’t…

Hi! Old person here to inform everyone within earshot that Death Cab never made a good album after Transatlanticism.

Brilliant take, Ditka. Right up there with “if EVERYONE had guns, there’d be fewer shootings!”

Without knowing much about the ins and outs of this particular company, I imagine it’s for the same reason some record labels are good: they’re run by passionate people with good taste. If it says A24, it’s probably gonna be good in the same way that a record that has SST or Merge (pick your own can’t-miss indie/punk…

Wait, just so we’re clear, are you trying to say that the way people vote is the best indicator of whose policies are most beneficial for a given demographic? Because if so, I’d like to introduce you to the white working class.

There’s a sizable contingent of cowboys fans around here (which I guess is probably true anywhere), so we grew up around plenty of you. “Cockroaches,” we call them, because they’re all up in your shit when the cowboys are riding high, and then scatter when it inevitably goes to shit.

Jesus, relax Chris. Didn’t you hear? You’re getting your show back.

They must love his shouty delivery, manboyish persona and lack of anything even resembling charisma. Dude must have some dirt on someone in a very high place.

Apparently I’ve come full circle in my old, out-of-touchedness, because I’ve been championing this movie since day one and completely missed out on this becoming some kind of disturbing masterpiece in the pop cultural lexicon, and now we’re right back to “no it’s shitty.”

I hate how every comment on here in semi-defense of Gunn has to have the qualifier “now what he did was wrong, but...” Jesus Christ, they were fucking jokes. He’s not an actual pedophile. He doesn’t actually think pedophilia is okay. He was going for some shock laughs. Some hit, some missed. The only thing he’s guilty…

I’m pretty sure he was already accused, thus the joke.

You’re not the only one. If I’m to believe the internet, a white person cannot partake in a cultural activity that is influenced by a non-white culture unless he or she first writes an expansive essay on the history of said culture which acknowledges, with a perfect level of accuracy and sensitivity, the origins of…

I mean, I’m pretty sure those movies made buckets of cash. I know I saw every one in the theater when I was a little kid.

Which is why he’s perfectly suited to be a minor player with limited contributions. If I’m gonna continue the baseball metaphor (and it’s GBV so why the fuck not), you could say they’re like solid middle relievers. Can’t pull off being a starter, but they can dependably eat some innings.

Certainly not. I never said he was. But like Harrison or Ranaldo, he was a valuable contributor and he rarely struck out.

You presume correctly. I’m speaking specifically about his work as a member of GBV.
