Wow you read quite a bit between the lines. No, my problem is people using the hitler analogy as a legitimate argument. Because as smug as you want to be, you know the only reason people do it is because hitler is obviously the embodiment of evil. Not because he criticized the press, not because he was anti-immigrant,…

This comment section is a good example as to why I don’t really comment on The AVClub like I used to.

The take, is subtle and not smarmy. “We underestimate our enemies - at our peril - by calling them cowards. They are very brave lunatics willing to die for God” is the another way to state what he was saying.  

FUN FACT: Remember when Bill Maher lost his show on ABC for stating  the 9/11 terrorists did not act in a cowardly manner (in rebuttal to President Bush’s statement calling them cowards) but instead were brave to stay on the plane...........he was agreeing with his guest- none other than future felon and inveterate…

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers…

Dinesh D’Souza wants to be the Leni Riefenstahl of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t have a fraction of Leni Riefenstahl’s actual talent behind the camera.

@UmmDavid, you seem to have some strange beef with @IGotLeyd, as demonstrated by your interactions in the comments on other articles. I can’t say definitively what IGotLeyd believes, but nothing in their comment history that I can find seems particularly damning:

It’s always awesome when a bad commenter self owns to the point of supporting my critique. Another epic fail, here. Regardless of political views, you are just as bad as Captain Midnight. Also, telling people that they don’t matter in order for them to feel like they don’t matter is very counterproductive. If I didn’t…

What has this commenter said that makes them a shitbag? Again, I compared his recent posts to your recent posts, and I gotta say, you don’t come off very well. It’s very common among this new Kinja world that the vilest of commenters will project that hatred onto others, and I wonder if this is happening here. It’s…

I’m pretty sure a yawn is indicative of boredom, not racism. Most racists get riled up pretty easily, they’re too self righteous to be bored. I think I would probably yawn if I was watching this episode too. I’ve noticed that you have a habit of calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist. I’ve perused your…

Here’s the thing : I don’t go to theaters because of the price... I don’t go because I am not a big fan of the other movie goers. So many times I am in a theater and have to deal with, well, rude and aggressively stupid fellow viewers. The guy next to me opens up his phone to text, the people behind me discuss the…

Apparently the business model ‘lose money on every customer then make it up through volume’ didn’t pan out. This isn’t like the gym, where half your revenue comes from people who almost never use your services. People LIKE going to movies.

I’m hopeful that they aren’t rebooting Frasier in that sense, but a reboot as in restarting his life elsewhere (and really that’s where the show ended...he was following some woman he fell for by going to Chicago...where if they really cared they could totally pick up at too).

If he did what, exactly?  Used her sexually in ways she regrets after the fact?  Come on, now.

Number of time Chris Hardwick was accused of sexual harassment or assault = 0.

Hypothetically speaking, if he did nothing wrong, and I don’t honestly know one way or the other, would it be fair for him to have stepped away longer?

Eh. Hardwick was basically accused of “being a bad boyfriend” by an ex-girlfriend with whom he was in an apparently shitty relationship - a shitty relationship which neither one of them bothered to get out of, even after they’d started to not like each other any more.

Anytime where they play up the farce and where Frasier’s plans go horrible wrong. When they open a restaurant. When they try to plan a dinner party but we never actually see the dinner party. When Frasier tried to write his own opening jingle.

Even the episodes (yes, plural) where Frasier is mistaken for being gay…

No way. Frasier frequently achieves greatness. The one that always immediately comes to mind for me is the episode Ham Radio where he disastrously directs a radio theater broadcast but there are so many more.
