Except it isn’t more money from outside when you’re specifically talking about advertising within twitch. That’s what is being called bullshit on. 

It’s the same argument billionaires have for Trickle Down Economics... and it’s as bullshit now as it was then.

Sorry but we have decades of proof that trickle down economics doesn’t work.

Yeah, Alex’s “He’s dead, it doesn’t matter,” take is definitely on the moderate-to-apologetic end of the spectrum for this discourse (and I’d say doesn’t acknowledge how much of that racism is embodied in the work itself and how that may reflect people’s critical assessment of it even today). To paint it as some kind…

But he uses as many big words as possible! Isn’t that what writing is all about?

It’s a recurring segment about terrible straight to DVD movies. They’ve been doing this for 10 years now. And 99% of the article has nothing to do with Lovecraft’s racism.

Yeah, I can’t see a playthrough being more relaxing and informative than ResearchIndicates’s. It was one of the first video Let’s Plays I’ve ever watched, and engrossing enough that I watched it all the way through.

Another informative and relaxing LP of Trespasser was done by RsrchIndicates. Highly recommended.

Having not seen The Wife has become a running joke on some corners of the internet because the people who follow awards coverage have been hearing about how Close was likely to get an Oscar nomination for it for years, but it had such a limited release window that very few people actually saw it. The fact that even a…

It’s like you’re all somehow PROUD of not seeing The Wife...which is, at the very least, a strange position to have on a pretty lauded film starring two great actors and also Christian Slater...

Don’t forget:

Eddie Murphy in Bowfinger:

The Academy’s cares, in order:

- Was the movie about how important movies are and, by extension, the people involved in their production?
- Did it come out in the last 3 months?
- Was it ridiculously melodramatic?
- How nice was the studio’s gifting suite?

George C. Scott was right

This, so much.  The Academy has many flaws in terms of what work it recognizes, and chief among them is how badly it neglects comedy, or for that matter, any kind of acting that isn’t naturalistic.  For supposedly espousing the art and science of cinema and performance, they are incredibly narrow and reductive as far…

Absolutely, because The Poors are bad people!

Nah, you’re not weird. I do that too. It’s a great way to be polite while not resigning yourself to a side salad and iced tea all the time.

I can kinda see both of your points. What’s the cap for “you can’t order the most expensive thing on the menu?” If we’re at McDonalds, do I have to stick with the dollar menu, or can I splurge and get the fish sandwich?

When its a work thing I try to be positioned so that the boss orders first- then use that as a guide for what is/isn’t appropriate. 

I mostly agree.  BUT I think the guy who refused to pay for the $90 dollar bottle of wine is 100% in the right.  That girl was clearly taking advantage of the situation.  The dude who yelled about Ruby Tuesday is just a fucking asshole.

I (as a straight female) always thought it was weird to have a stranger pay my bill, especially if I wasn’t planning to see them again. I always offer to split for the first few dates, but don’t put up too much of a fuss (“do you mind...” and an, “are you sure? Well, thank you”). I think it makes more sense to offer…
