…but you have to over-pronounce the "r"s in Mordor, though, like Hugo Weaving. That's what makes it hot.

…and yet Dunham seems to constantly have "They're all going to laugh at you!" constantly ringing through her head.

He's not railing against hookup culture in general (unlike, say, the Turner family, who are trying to turn Brock Turner's crime into a referendum on the plague of licentiousness). The other part of the quote you removed shows that he's saying it in the context of addressing his 19-year-old self.

I haven't read that Ebony interview, but the context of similar sentiments in other interviews is that he found religion after his acquittal, so he no longer believes in hookups and premarital sex. In that context, what Parker's opposing is being on the make (trying to pick up girls around campus or in clubs), not…

Wow. Eric Schaeffer. The single most inexplicable "I've seen multiple pictures that guy directed and starred in." Those movies are things Woody Allen looks at and says "Wow, that's really self-indulgent and self-involved."

I would note that none of that is an argument that Planet Terror is in any way a good movie. Yes, I agree that Tarantino's experiments in girl talk were not very successful, and wore out their welcome (although even that works a bit in the context of the first set of girls who get killed by Stuntman Mike). But the…

Yeah, Smith's a screenwriter who fell ass-backward into directing. I kind of wish his Superman script with the giant spider (*ahem* Thanagarian web monster, or whatever he called it) had been made and was a big hit, because it would've changed the course of his career.

Sadly, there are next to no real libertarians. That whole set is mostly just Republicans in drag, with libertarians taking in the overflow of whichever conservative constituency is currently on the outs.

…and a boob window.

Not sure we want to know how Zack Snyder deliberately made that water milky…

Yeah, and Smith realized that he could make a living doing podcasts and live shows, which gave him even less of a reason to give a damn than Rodriguez.

Yeah, I no longer hold out that kind of hope. There's no incentive for him to do hired-gun stuff since his ethos of making crappy things on the super cheap seems to be enough to support him and his own cable network. Funny, the cheapskate nature of his work was what brought him to prominence, but I thought that he had…

Smith and Robert Rodriguez were both heartbreaking in that they made really promising debuts, followed those up with halfhearted stabs at becoming mainstream filmmakers, and have subsequently each retreated to a comfort zone up their own respective asses. A bit of adversity seems to have driven both of them away from…

He survives on a diet of Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, and Taco Bell, just like a real American!

While it's true that he's worked the media well so as to not have to spend money on advertising to get his message out, I find it hard to blame the media for his rise. He was a celebrity when all this started, and they covered his campaign (at least in the beginning) as if it was a celebrity vanity project. They've…

FADE IN on a woman's heaving boobs. They are large, but not pendulous. They are also covered in blood, not her own.

"We do have some sympathy for Weiner. He and his wife both have stressful
jobs that probably keep them separated a lot of the time'

Yes…but it's a sexy seizure.

So, this is the reason that Showtime keeps asking me what I'm wearing?

Excuse me, that should be "NBC to Punish America by Forcing Us to Listen to Ryan Lochte Talk to Matt Lauer."
