In fairness those jokes are really really awful.

You don’t say!

There has never been a news story like this in the history of the internet that wasn’t met with some whinebag going “SOCIETY IS DOOMED, EVERYONE IS STUPID EXCEPT ME,” all because no one laughed at a mediocre white dudebro comedian making a tired attempt at edgy humor..

Jesus Christ did you really just say that? “People put up with sexual abuse in order to further their careers. It didn’t ruin these women’s lives.” Who the hell are you to know whether it did or didn’t and make the judicious ‘trade off was worth it so those people are super happy now’. That is just the scummiest

People tell a victim of theft that ‘no, you weren’t really stolen from, you’re just making it up’? They tell victims of fraud that ‘it wasn’t that big a deal, just suck it up, why are you making this all about yourself’?

I really miss the old AV Club forums.

One used to be able to count on arriving to find some interesting, thought-provoking, some actually funny humor with an edge, and a few comments by That Guy followed by a thorough dragging.

Now, they’re increasingly boring, predictable, and riddled with deplorables of various

These other two guys have nowhere near the comedic and talk show chops that Conan has. They aren’t even on the same planet.

Verhoeven has a rep as outlandish, and supposedly got naked in ‘solidarity’ with the cast on Starship Troopers when he was filming the shower scene. But honestly, if he can pull off a film like Elle and get Isabella Hupert to give a performance like that, and then have her absolutely gush about working with him...

I don’t understand Charlotte Gainsbourg: she loves working with Von Trier and love him as a friend. After he’s done to her in Antichrist... She filmed two other!

In this case, I think that is because Weinstein is known as “The Pig” in France. So to call Corden “piglet” is a direct reference to that and would be suggesting that he’s victimizing them (via his jokes) just as Harvey did. Also note that Argento called anyone who laughed that as well, with “everyone who grunted with

It wasn’t that it was ‘too soon’. His jokes were lazy and he came off as if he was making light of the issue. Don’t be surprised if you tell a shitty joke about a harasser and the people he harassed aren’t pleased about it.

I am sure Woody doesn’t have anything to worry about, he’s probably just being his usual paranoid self.

I would put Conan way above those other two. His major problem is that he could put on a great show, but just seems tired of doing late night at this point.

Melancholia is pretty good if only because it’s a misogynist’s attempt at feminism and that’s interesting to watch. Kind of like Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I heard Ronan Farrow on NPR and apparently he was assigned the Weinstein story and didn’t initially seek it out for himself, but its still interesting that the son of Woody Allen blew open the Weinstein case publicly. Between that and backing up his sister’s accusations of Allen, I am think that a great username here

Remember how a red shirt showed prejudice on the Enterprise and Kirk was all like, “We’ll have none of that here, mister!”? Uh, you HAVE met your doctor, right?

The credits were edited to U2's “Beautiful Day”, which is what Berman and Braga wanted, but knew they’d never get. That pile of crap we got was what the studio licensed for them. Dennis McCarthy wrote “Archer’s Theme” as the credit theme, but no one but him actually wanted it. The idea that the opening credits should

I really love the Community theme...I actually listen to the original version quite a bit.

I read that the execs were the ones who wanted that song; the theme song was originally supposed to be the one they went on to use for the end credits(called “Archer’s Theme”).

I like the Community theme.
