Having been in a decent band that put out a memorable song or two is a way more noble and meritorious accomplishment than playing at the fucking Trump inauguration.

Yeah but they'd better watch what they say about Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Well, this thread seems to be turning into a sort of disagreement pile-on, but since you asked… I don't know if I buy the idea that modern horror is really any worse than previous generations of the stuff. Like, there were some great horror films in the 70s and 80s, and also a lot of crap.

I'm rather fond of that movie, myself. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but I remember it having a refreshingly bullshit-free approach to its subject matter; like, political themes that would be subtext in other movies are just the text in that one, and that's a good thing.

Old McDonald had a farm.

I'm here to chew bubblegum and use the internet, and I'm all out of internet. Oops I mean… ah nevermind.

What??????

Though there was that one conference room with the blacked-out windows and weird stains on the door…

Honestly, I think that many people either don't know about emulators, think they're more difficult to use than they actually are, or are just intimidated by any somewhat involved (and somewhat shady) process of finding and utilizing semi-obscure junk on the internet. To play emulated games on your computer, you have

The whole trial is out of order

But who does all your base belong to?

The sense I'm getting is that the screenshot is fake but Bowie did indeed read and post on his fan forums… Anyway, gonna date myself here, but I remember in the early days of the mass internet when everyone got a bit of a rush from the potentialities of anonymous discourse, like "Maybe one of the guys talking in this

Ah sorry, I actually didn't mean it that way at all; the joke was supposed to be how Dolph Lundgren had a remarkable young adulthood and all of us - very much including myself - are leading boring lives in comparison; the 'how's your life going' wasn't meant to be about you, but more as a general joke for anyone

You know, I actually kinda liked Crash (2004) when I saw it; yeah, it's overwrought and hammy, and no, it didn't deserve the Best Picture Oscar, but I felt like it also had a sense of conviction and earnestness that I found refreshing, in a way; I understand that it's not a very good movie but I don't think it's that

So I guess Dolph Lundgren turned down a Fulbright scholarship - to study at MIT - so that he could move in with Grace Jones and hang out with Andy Warhol & co. before becoming a movie star in his late 20s. So, what am I doing with my life?

In retrospect, A Christmas Carol 2: Vengeance might have been a wrong move.

Yeah this was basically what I was thinking, too. I haven't read the book either, but it sounds like the reviewer here is comparing the author's critical impressions with literal elements of the given films or of Spielberg's life; that's not really a like-with-like comparison. For example, saying that the Indiana

One state did!

Well it is a bit of a grey area, but I think context is really important - I mean, he's Trump. So, when he uses Twitter to, for example, insult a journalist by name, he does so knowing that a good amount of his millions of followers will engage in more-direct and explicit harassment of said journalist. It's kind of

Trump routinely engages in targeted harassment of individuals, which is a violation of Twitter policy. Whether or not Twitter should ban him is a tricky question given everything involved, but if they did ban him it would be consistent with their stated policies.
