Captain Marvel will be considered a period film as it takes place in the 90s. The period stuff now just means attention to the details of an era in production design. 

Idiots believe this. And acknowledging someone’s drug abuse increased in the wake of the breakup is acknowledging correlation, not causation. Stop dumpster diving guys. There were people defending Ariana Grande for this before anyone thought to blame her for it. Because the thought was in their head first and they had…

I know there’s some consensus now about sex work within feminism, but let’s just be real here and note that if a dude had a similar story it’d be shade city. Yes, a whole lot of comments would say, “Let’s not shame the women forced to do this work by the patriarchy”, but you’d be happily shaming the dude. Maybe allow…

This agreement will have had zero to do with him. She’s using a dead man after being the main immediate reason he killed himself. She’s despicable.

By this logic every who victimized someone and was taken down in the MeToo movement should be granted the “cycles of victimhood” narrative.

Also, undiscussed in this is how since Cosby got caught, these shows have stopped running. Malcolm Jamal Warner (I’m admittedly not checking for spelling) expressed publicly his disappointment in that. All these folks were probably getting very stable residual checks that would help out and now all that has dried up.…

Tbf, liberals don’t care much more.

Failed stint in England? By what metric? 

You must know there is a place between what you’re describing (which is the sort of reductive hellscape the far right would gleefully reassert if it could) and the place the far left has carved out for itself on college campuses that essentially deems all men would be rapists, sex while drunk rape (so, yeah, just…

I think a fairly good line in the sand, over who we can and cannot bring along, could be drawn on this flag stuff. If we can’t reach them on this, we’ll have to wait till their Republican kids are applauding these athletes in 30 years. Unfortunately this issue isn’t going to go away because not enough liberal people…

I also want to ask you by what metric are you measuring “centrism”. If it’s purely economic, I would agree with you. The center has absolutely been corrupted, by money from elites, by it’s own desire to maintain cultural cache, etc. But you can hardly say that on social issues the center has not moved the ball…

Wow. Magnificent to see this articulated. Because it shows how willfully blind and downright disingenuous the far left can be about the history of far leftist movement.

I’m sorry if my tone provoked your tone. I don’t think the far left has ever run this country. The far right is certainly incoherently running some version of our government at present.

Not even a Star Wars fan, but this deserved notice. What a read. Once you’ve sharpened your tools enough, you should put them to use where more eyeballs can see them.

Just to be clear, you ascribed a number of sentiments to me that I did not express. Straw man gonna straw man though I suppose.

Gadsby conveniently chooses a medium art where monetary value is derived by name and the limited supply. That argument is made either in bad faith or stupidly. It completely ignores how the fine arts compare to popular mediums like film, television, comedy, and, to a lesser extent these days, books. Yeah, sure, you…

I actually like Che on SNL, but I saw him a few months ago myself and he kind of phoned in a performance that I’m pretty sure cost 45 a seat. Thats the price for a mid to top standup doing a finely tuned set. The only tuned part of his set were jokes that are on a years old Netflix special. Otherwise he basically…

This is just the dying farts of an authoritarian leaning segment of the left who know they can’t articulate anything specific because if they did sensible liberals would reject it. So they shake their fists at the sky because thats enough to sate a large segment of their audience. It’s frankly despicable. The last…

While an apology doesn’t need to be accepted or lauded or anything, you’ve conveniently misrepresented CK’s apology as “less than satisfactory” when people on this very site, the NYT, etc, were getting up votes for saying his apology was actually sincere. Repeat, doesn’t dictate that his apology need be accepted by…

No one is serving a life sentence. Bad things happen to good people. It’s not their fault, but at a certain point it does become their problem. It is one thing to have been victimized, it is another entirely to nullify your entire life by becoming the forever victim.
