I think part of that is just the awkwardness of being asked to publicly comment on the promo work of your own movie. I have no insight into either of their actual thought processes or level of intelligence, but I imagine it's probably a tough balancing act to try to quickly reconcile your personal beliefs,…

I still come here fairly often, but his return reminds me of what made me love this place. I get 2-3 silent chuckles reading an O'Neal piece even when actually hearing about a Kardashian's designer shin guards or a Franco's sex DJing career has long since lost its luster.

Yeah, I'm not really arguing on the "allowed," which is a much more complicated can of worms. I don't really think it's a good idea for communication sites to ban civilly presented perspectives, even if all decent people would find them morally repugnant.

As to the subject of this article, we're completely in agreement. It sounds like they deserved to and needed to go for outright harassment.

I feel like this is the kind of argument people make when they know they won't be the ones targeted for banning, though. Should Twitter have the right to ban political groups? Religious ones? Kitten fan clubs?

Pssh, everyone knows Irish sex ghosts started when Connor O'Flaherty's excuse for being in Maggie O'Malley's barn at three in the morning got out of hand.

I don't believe in ghosts OR care about sports. DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN?

That reads a lot like an adult reacting to this through a strongly personal lens rather than an honest attempt to address how children feel. I guarantee that if you ask the average kid if Captain America makes them feel inadequate — even allowing for the vocabulary adjustment necessary to convey that idea — there's…

I've lived all over Asia, and American political corruption is just a lot more technically above board because we've worked hard to systematize and legalize it. Like, it'd be against the law for me to hand a Senator $50,000 in a briefcase and ask for their vote, but I can donate a million to their campaign fund and…

Eastbound & Down, Justified, and The Shield are all, like, potential top 25 shows of the past 25 years. In defiance of tradition, I'm going in with completely reckless optimism.

And then they all got form-fitting catsuits and all was right with the world.

There's nothing wrong with a well-organized protest. Being an obnoxious clown (or violent, obviously) does you no good at all. "Obnoxious with threats of violence" is Trump's base. Giving him an asshole enemy to scream at and threaten just puts him in his comfort zone while allowing bystanders to assume you're…

Classic snowbird, living in the Upper Mid-North during the summer but heading on down to King's Florida when the first big snow finally hits.

He was literally granted a retrial partially because his attorney failed to do something. It's in the text of the very article you're commenting on.

Tangential point: Some of Limp Bizkit's music is pretty vapid lyrically but catchy enough, if disposable, musically. The "pop" comparison mentioned in the article isn't totally unjustified.

In retrospect, DeFalco was really a ridiculous choice for the "edgy" version of anything.

I'm not a huge fan of cases being tried in the court of public opinion like this, but over time, the process has made it abundantly clear that the actual court system is only marginally better.

Honestly, that seems like the gist of it. All they had to do was say "look, it's our IP, and we're the only ones allowed to make money from it. Do whatever you want, just know that you can't charge."

That's what Millar said, but again, that was the side that was cloning murderers and keeping an off-the-books prison. Either Millar never bothered to explain the intended themes to his co-writers or it became so lopsided against IM so quickly that he was Word-of-Goding some balance back into the thing.

Like 2-3 years ago, they decided to review every new pilot on a trial basis. Obviously, huge swaths of programming were quickly dropped, but that's the kind of fun experiment that I come here for. If it's just going to be a discussion of the same ten shows the whole rest of internet is talking about, eh…
