I’m not totally sure, but I got the impression super villains weren’t even a thing in the show's real world until sometime in season one.

Yeah, I agree. I’m not trying to make anyone think being sensative to violence is bad or they have to like or enjoy dark material. Horror is a niche genre for a reason and the fans of it push and support even bad films (most today are super tame to mass market to the scardy cats IMO) cause it’s off putting for people…

Jaden’s music career isn’t to bad. He’s got a banger on the Spider-verse soundtrack.

Total disagree. Falcon and the Winter Soldier was much more awesome than it wasn’t and I’ll go down defending it until my dying day. It’s handling of race was definitely interesting and more nuanced than anything to date in the MCU (more Ezekial Bradley, please!), the characters were interesting and deepened…

This wins the award for worst take of the day

Yes, the “It wasn’t racist... she was probably coked up” argument feels like it’s taking a few stretches that even Reed Richards might have a hard time making.

As a European (a Swede, no less) I’m baffled by this idea that in Europe it’s somehow more ok for your boss to go round planting kisses on you while at work than it would be in the US. It’s really, really not. 

Fun fact: The Light Brigade only charged because their commander was a dumbass and misunderstood an order from his superior. They were supposed to attack a completely different area. If anything, the charge is an example of the foolishness of blind obedience, as common sense would have told the men that attacking that…

Gadd is a writer. This is not his first project — he’s written for bunch on shows on British television and radio — and one of the truisms about writing is “write what you know.”

Strategery in a nutshell: It’s either true or it’s not, but if it’s true, that’s better kept as a secret, never to be spoken of in polite company with anything other than revulsion and dismissiveness. If it’s NOT true, then it’s a lie - widely broadcast as a truth by someone with credibility - expressed as a HORRIBLE…

That’s why I thought this feud was kinda unnecessary in the first place—they’re occupying different niches with some overlap but not a lot. Felt like Kendrick responding was acknowledging they are on the same level to a degree, but I guess he couldn’t let Drake’s disses go unanswered and the animosity between them is…

I guarantee no club has played Drop a Gem on Em or 10% diss or 75% of your list in two decades. I’d be surprised if Ether was played more than twice at a club since 2006.

The smartest thing Kendrick Lamar has done is convince people he’s not a “pop-rap” artist (whatever that means) despite doing songs with Taylor Swift, the Lonely Island, Maroon 5, Dido, Mayer Hawthorne, and Sia. 

Because the crew on the project then has to consistently work long days and skip lunch to accommodate him, which is not great for safety. 

It’s not appropriating the Holocaust to correctly describe the people that were targeted, persecuted, imprisoned and killed by the Nazis. It is not denying the fundamental anti-semitism of the Holocaust to recognize the multiple other groups that were also targeted, whatever their numbers. In fact, it is essential to…

Ron DeSantis’s approval rating in the same period is down, too. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/ron-desantis/

Any accusations of “hard left” make sense when you realize that to a certain kind of right-wing culture war conservative any and very position to their left, no matter how immediate, is basically straight-up communism. Even Eisenhower-style Republicans are fundamentally no different from Che Guevara or Mao.

Gosh, what also happened in 2021 that could negatively impact the profits of movie theaters, theme parks, vacation resorts, and cruise lines? I just can’t put my finger on it. 

What bottom line problems? 

This is not an unconvincing argument; but if he didn’t want to make a film about that, I’m not entirely sure he’s really obligated to somehow.
