    While making sure to lash out at people who like it For The Wrong Reasons. Gotta maintain that sense of superiority.

    Okay, upon examining that proposition, I agree with it.  DeLillo is not like Pynchon, and the comparison fails.  In fact, they are so unlike that there is no way to make a parallel comparison.

    Actually, it's a statement of the quality of the author.  And if you're going to try that type of casuistry, you probably shouldn't try to pull off exactly the opposite type of casuistry in the next sentence.  It tends to draw a big red line under what's wrong with your logic.

    So because you liked something, anyone who didn't think well of it is "dumb"?

    Jesus, what a bunch of TL;DR in defense of a crappy series.  Is the author trying to act as the literary equivalent of a bullfighter's red cape, to distract us from the hatefulness of the movies by the dullness and whininess of her stupid screed?  It's not going to work.  Most of us have enough mental capacity to

    I guess this show isn't ironic enough.

    This topic is catnip for hipsters.

    Oh hell and damn yes.  "This Big Hush" alone should have done it for them.

    When you remember to thank the current administration for maintaining and expanding those incursions, you might be worth listening to.  Until then, shut the fuck up.

    Not all conservatives are happy with the expanding security apparatus.  A lot of us have been throwing warnings for decades.  It didn't begin with 9/11, and it's not going to end until people embrace the idea of government butting the hell out of our lives.  And that idea isn't gaining traction on the left.

    "The next generation of readers won’t be stumbling into a place that overwhelms them with the sheer volume of books out there to be discovered."

    Just because you're a man (or claim to be), it doesn't give you the categorical right to deny or deflect the existence of misandry.

    "sworn" not "foresworn"
    If they'd "foresworn" it, they would either have renounced any intention of making a movie, or they would have lied when they swore to do it. Either would be a better outcome than what has actually transpired.

    Yes, they did interview Dave Sim. And what was the reaction?

    Oppressed? How many oppressed people have gone in for magazines with articles like "10 Ways To Get Your Oppressor To Commit"?

    Wow, what a complete idiot
    On her website, she claims:

    Well, that's a trenchant analysis. I'm convinced.

    The smug atheists who defend Gould should probably read his writings on non-overlapping magisteria.

    Why not? He's a petty moonbat duckspeaker who lends his preachy, whining tripe to many a cause beloved by hipster douches.

    Whaddya know…
    …Ebert's mouth really IS an asshole. And all the good little hipsters here are kissing it.
