We live in deeply stupid times.

"Chris Christie" just sounds like such a made up name, like Bob Dobalina or something. Why would you do that to your child?

Yours for the low low price of… er, $20?

Just a matter of time before my road trip CD with five remixes of Blu Cantrell's "Hit Em Up Style" becomes valuable

I doubt that anybody who unironically uses the phrase "Millennial privilege" truly wants to be taken seriously. I apologize for wasting your time.

I apologize for thinking that you wanted to be taken seriously; I won't make that mistake again.

yes, famously conservative New York City

That horror movie anthology of all women directors (XX) is on Netflix so I checked it out. I was surprised to see that the best segment of that movie by far was directed by Annie Clark. It's called The Birthday Party and is more in a comedy-horror vein, but has a really effective, off-kilter use of costume, set…

Well, you're operating on a unique and oddly self-contradictory definition of luxury that you haven't made any substantive defense of ("because I say so" and "no you are" aren't substantive). The dictionary definition sure as hell isn't "anything not required for survival."

Chingy was just a linguist ahead of his time.

"I fuckin' hate Steve Guttenberg."

It's a pity he didn't sign The Smiths, but he was right about Mick Hucknell!

So anything that isn't required for survival is a luxury? That's a deeply silly argument that you've already contradicted yourself on by saying that running water and effective plumbing aren't luxuries.

You're right, as I've been to places where they don't have running water and they still have cell service. I don't think that makes the point you think it does, though, and it doesn't address the other issues I raised.

I don't think this particular director is for me. I watched Snowpiercer but couldn't get over all the logistical lacuna and the essential silliness of the premise (but what if.. forever train!)
It contained some fleeting interesting visuals however so I thought I'd give Okja a go, but couldn't get over all the…

I'm confused why people are calling the black & white theater with the giant and the 30s lady a glimpse into the white lodge. Nothing about it recalled to me that sense of serene fulfillment that Major Briggs describes to Bobby from his dream. That spooky, nauseatingly off-key big band record playing at half speed as…

C'mon, this is a nonsense argument. You could say the same thing about indoor plumbing, refrigeration, and horseless carriages. Hell you can say the same thing about agriculture and the written word.
