I like that it presents adolescent boys as the loud, grubby, vulgar little turds that they are instead of the wise-beyond-their-years miniature adults Hollywood usually thinks they are.

She was pretty bad in Interstellar, but I don't blame her. There's no actress alive or dead who could have sold that embarrassing "I know I'm supposed to be a scientist and the fate of the world is at stake but what if love is the real science you guys" speech.

Black is by a considerable margin my favorite screenwriter and has been all my life. When he writes a movie, it's like he did it just for me. His scripts are super tight. Nothing is by accident. Even incidental dialogue usually foreshadows some later development or illustrates a theme. A lot of that stuff used to end

Sadly, the shit he'd seen did not LITERALLY turn him white, so no matter what, his sentencing was likely to be wildly different than that of his caucasian accomplices.

"I have seen some DUMB blondes in my time, but you take the taco, pal."

I get that the second one is nowhere near as good as the first, but I truly don't understand its toxic reputation, for the simple fact that every single word that comes out of Murray's mouth for the whole movie is solid gold.

For me, Winona was like a tomboy friend whom I never thought of sexually until we both grew up and I realized that I'd been in love with her the whole time.

What shirtless scene? All I remember is that one part where he wore a brown sweater.

Because she's been here for years!

It's got a minor cult following now, if only because it's one of the Shane Blackiest scripts Shane Black ever Shane Blacked.

Harry Shearer seems to be living proof of the old adage "If you meet one asshole, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole, you're the asshole."

Political is fine. It's a network whose flagship is The Daily Show, after all. This just seems redundant.

You know, sometimes I forget for like five whole minutes at a time that the fate of our world is now in the stubby, invasive hands of a corrupt, apoplectic ape-man with the emotional maturity and decision-making impulses of an overtired toddler. Thanks, Comedy Central, for correcting that for me.

"Nuh uh! Here's a photo of my Canadian girlfriend!"

So many red flags…

I think I tried out Vince Staples based on some commenters' recommendations and I for serious thought I was being fucked with. Just really not my thing. I do like Freddie Gibbs and Action Bronson a lot. But, again, they're basically guys who were born in the wrong era. They're 90s rappers trapped in the 21st century.

I call it the Amish Rule. Somewhere along the line, clothing evolved from loincloths and togas to waistcoats and trousers, and they're fine with that, but taking the next step to buttons and zippers is a sin. Everything that happened prior to one's jumping-on point is just natural evolution. Everything that comes

Breaking news! Comic book readers are entitled, incurious pieces of shit!

It's a colloquial phrasing meant to denote a simplistic point of view. It's fine.

Haven't made up my mind yet. I think he's got some skills but his flow isn't that impressive to me, and his production varies wildly from straight garbage to pretty great. So I don't know. I try to take him song by song. Which is a tactic I also employ for Bob Dylan, so he's in some good company.
