Oh, he doesn’t have to do anything, and is monstrously successful. It’s just that A&R, on its own, is one of the greatest gigs ever. You get all the advantages of celebrity (fortune, connections, etc...) with none of the hassles (being recognized, needing security, etc...).

No, you aren’t. But I also try to grade shows based on what their best qualities may be. This isn’t comparable to, say, Barry, but at this point, I grade a lot of MCU shows on a curve.

“in the end its people deciding that they want the oppressions”

Is America really less democratic now than it used to be?

Stalker/Revenge Jam:  “The Rain” by Oran Juice Jones.... that shit gets real uncomfortable real quick when he starts with the conversation part of the song

They want us to ignore the fact that this guy specifically went to/targeted Asian massage parlors, as the the white guy fetishization of Asian women ain’t a thing. And Georgia has plenty of opportunities for a guy with a “sex obsession” that doesn’t involve a particular race, just like any other city.

From Wikipedia:

Panama, are you sure you interviewed the Bay Area? Cuz there was no use of the word “hella”. There must be an inquiry stat!

Your “case-in-point” is bullshit, I loved every minute of Lovecraft Country and agree with the grades. Sometimes I don’t agree at all with the reviewers but I don’t start accusing of inflating grades because of race. Maybe they have a different taste than you?

“I’m gonna get roasted for this”

“But the AVClub has a very, very, very bad track record of inflating ratings based on projects that are aimed toward racial justice.”

Because I think it’s funny 1) that you’re inserting something into the conversation by complaining that people inserting it into too many conversations and 2) you spend most of the comment talking about how you’ll be persecuted for it.

The Lucas Brothers wrote this? I was definitely going to see this, but I’m fascinated by this. Lucas Bros Moving Company was one of my favorite shows from the last decade, but it had a REALLY specific sense of humor and I have zero idea how they would handle a period drama.

“Listen, I’m as tired as everyone else of identity politics being dragged into every little discussion, but can I take a moment to drag identity politics into this discussion? People get awfully hyperbolic about this stuff; I sure hope a bloodthirsty mob doesn’t drag me out into the street and tear me apart for saying…

One reviewer liked a tv show with a black lead more than I did, which means all AV Club is being reverse racist, and also patronizing black art.

There’s nothing like watching someone trip over themselves apologizing for an opinion that they didn’t need to share in the first place.

It’s worth mentioning that Freddie Hampton’s assassination was basically part of a wider conspiracy orchestrated by the FBI called COINTELPRO. Which included illegal surveillance of civil rights leaders and prominent leftists, infiltrating leftist and civil rights organizations, and funding and arming a right wing…

I have some distant kin folk that are about that “dumb ass” life. Husband and wife had COVID when things first kicked off. Not the worst bout of it, but bad enough. They recovered. Son of husband and wife got married and had a big ole wedding in October. Half the people at the wedding....*shock* contracted it,…

I was on Too $hort in middle school and E-40 in high school. I’m 45 years old, lol. Oldheads are gonna be on a good one come Saturday!

I’m already excited to hear “beeeeyooootccchhhhh” flowing through my soundbar. The smile on my face grows as I think about all of the “triggered” profiles on social media, as the OG “toxic” king reminds us that these **** shall not be loved.
