I’m not taking Trump’s side on anything, either, but I can’t be Team Kathy on this. That severed Trump head stunt was just as bad as the horrible images of Obama being lynched and so on. I condemn all of it.

I am far from an outrage junkie, I actually liked Kathy Griffin before this, and I cannot stand Donald Trump, but...yeah. That was bad, and she’s gonna be pretty fucked, and she should be.

Which is a damn shame because the world of car crash fetishism is a subject that sorely missing from our popular cult-

Oh, you mean the other Crash.

I grew up the same way as a white guy in a small West Texas town but I totally identified with the girls in the movie. I loved it. Still do and ill probably buy the Criterion version.

It’s funny, I never thought about the racial dynamics of Ghost World. Honestly I was just like Enid, I was a very sarcastic bitter teenager (but with brown skin and black hair and hijab). My friends and I would mock other students and we’d cuss out other people. (thankfully I grew the fuck up and I’m not like that…

I would say that ‘brutishness’ that you describe could also be understood through the lens of Enid being a self-centered, bratty, intellectually under-fuelled teen. Not just the fact that she happens to be white.

Sorry, the white man says you should be offended.

uhhh.... I’m a South Asian Muslim immigrant and Ghost World was my #1 movie in 2001...shit, I watched it a thousand times on dvd and I was obsessed with the graphic novel and the website. I graduated from high school the same year the movie came out and I hated everyone with equal passion like Enid and Becky, and my…

You’ve nailed it here. It’s always clear when someone views everything through the lens of race. It can really warp reality into something abhorrent. It’s super sad and I feel pity for anyone who sees the world in this contorted unrealistic way. IMO, a Brazilian character NOT having a soccer/football skin would be a…

As someone who is disabled the White House can kiss my ass. That would be about as helpful as their “compassion” when the prices of my meds is out of reach, and the cost of insurance that will cover me becomes unattainable if my wife should ever lose her current job.

As a male Jezzie, I can attest that strip clubs are incredibly depressing. Even as a barely woke guy in 1991 I can attest to this.

I can guarantee that nothing you will ever do in your life is so important that it can’t wait 90 minutes. If you are in the midst of a crisis you can stay the fuck home.

Sorry, but it’s hard to focus on the big screen in front of you when there is a small, brighter, glowing screen much closer. Unless it’s an emergency, it can wait. And if it is an emergency, well then leave the theater.

Someone might want to explain to them how Catholicism works.

Yeah, there is a willful blindness to our own streak of nationalism/protective-ism on the left side. Heck, it even gets mixed in there with anti-war rhetoric, that there is no humanitarian crisis, no matter how dire or heart-breaking, where intervention should occur.

A lot of this kind of “Clinton lost because she sucks” analysis seems to be missing that candidates exactly like Trump are popping up in a lot of Western countries (Philippines, France, England) and *winning.* Yes, Clinton may be uniquely awful and somehow The Worst Campaign Runner Ever, and yet many candidates that…

NYC didn’t vote for him.

Sadly, the fact Trump’s ideas were idiotic didn’t get in the way of the fact that they were clear and simple. OTOH, Hillary had lots of good policies, but the messaging, well...

That’s the key problem is that there are really two kinds of games: Narrative and Experiential(?), one is very much hurt by Let’s play videos, one maybe, maybe not.

I can’t wait until I start my “Let’s watch: Star Wars” and my “Let’s read: Harry Potter” YouTube channels!
