Maggie Gyllenhaal or GTFO

Does a duet with another person count as solo work?

If I wanted to do something productive with my free time I wouldn't be here.

"See there's your problem right there. No. Food is not speech."

You like to cherry-pick absurd examples. Is the food at a *real* restaurant with a chef not speech? Beyond the immediate need to not poison people etc., the government is certainly not allowed to tell you what you can and cannot put on the menu - that's the content. There is an element of speech (i.e. content) in

"Look are you seriously trying to argue that film making is not First Amendment protected speech?"

Seems kind of obvious that the choice of director is not identical to the content of the speech. There's a difference between the government hypothetically saying "no more superhero movies" (which, of course, they couldn't do) and "there is no artistic justification to hiring all male directors all the time, this is

"There is no way its Constitutional…"

Are you sure it would be "nice"? Seems a bit understated. On a scale of 1 to 10, "nice" is a 6, and perhaps you want a word that is more like a 7.5.

Oh sure, let's all eat tiny little cabbages. What could go wrong.

good comment/username synergy

Counterpoint - if he were really happy inside he would be Jimmy Fallon.

I liked videogum (RIP Gabe), but I actually like this community even more. I just wrote a bunch of stuff about how vgum felt a little narrow and cult-like or something but that's not really fair - it's probably more accurate to say that AVC skews towards my demo more than vgum did.

In my apartment it has something to do with the wiring, supposedly.

There should be a porn actor named Sean Peen.

If your dad's buddy was in the towers on 9/11, maybe I'd care. I'd be happy for him, really.

Oh sure, spamming on the internet is probably a gender-neutral industry. Why don't we just make AVClub all about this, so people in third-world countries can earn an adequate amount of gruel.

I really could use a story on whether my dog is in that fucking movie or not. I've seen it, and I still don't know. The shot was on the screen for three seconds, I looked at the wrong dog, and then boom, it was all over. And there was still 90 minutes of relationship comedy to slog through after that.

"But being prejudged as a POC in America is not just annoying or painful to the ego…"

Also it seems unlikely now that anybody is going to intentionally book another hotel because Hilton is the goody-good brand that doesn't have porn. That's where they might really lose out if this were, say, the 80s.
