Great Kim Wexler comparison!

They’re in Hell. (You thought Kim Wexler had a rough go of it--meet Sally.) I’ve never rooted so hard for Barry to go back to being a hitman. He talks about responsibility and thinking about others here to his son, but he’s just as selfishly monstrous sans the violence. He knows his wife and son are miserable, but,

I’d maybe add that losing BOTH Chris Evans and RDJr. was akin to losing the yin and the yang of the “original” MCU. Unlike many, I like more films than I dislike from the post-Endgame films, but I really can’t tell you who the anchors of this post-Endgame MCU are anymore.

Iron Man remains a top 5 MCU film. It’s eminently watchable even 15 years later. So many pieces came together, and we should be thankful Favreau pushed for Downey’s involvement. He was the perfect Stark. And I love how much Downey became a champion for the MCU going forward. (I think of that entire MCU cast photo

I think the “pea-shooter” was a gun disguised as a pen, a gag wonderfully set up by “gadgets that never work” discussion.

Klingons are basically drunk rugby players, Mandalorians are like missionaries. 


Puss is Boots is so, so much better than it needed to be or anyone expected it could be. Even with the positive reviews I still kinda went in expecting it to be Did You Know Fairy Tales Can Fart 6, and I left with it being one of my favorite movies of the year, easily the year’s best cartoon, and a new all-time great

There’s so many actors that I have only learned later to much later that were actually Australian because their American accents are so good (or at least good enough to fool me).

Kevin Costner, obviously

So Harbour combined Stranger Things’ police chief Hopper with his Red Guardian and John McClane?

In the best possible way, the closest cinematic analogy I can draw in energy and appeal to Glass Onion is Ocean’s Twelve

Now playing

Dave Chappelle has a bit about Michael Richard’s on-stage melt-down, and I think about it every once in a while. (1:51 in the video below)

Comedians aren’t a monolith, but they are often a tight knit group. These guys were (usually) friends before anyone else knew their names. They typically have a better understanding

How are so many people bad at understanding a joke?!? The brilliancy of the joke’s premise isn’t about antisemitism it’s about how stereotyping groups is wrong. This issue isn’t even about Chappelle it’s about peoples dog whistles and only what they want to hear. 

A conversation that I don’t think I’d want to have in this venue” is also an awareness that the person on the phone is looking for “Seinfeld blasts back at Chappelle” clickbait headline and he’s politely opting out of that.

Either you get his humor or you don’t. You don’t, so it’s pointless trying to explain.

Don’t discredit the hive mind here. You should be uber offended at all times. 

Because he doesnt do hate speech, thats fucking bullshit. He’s allowed to do it because hes a great comedian.

SNL sucks now. OF COURSE the dave chapelle episode was the best one, because hes a great comedian. His mindless, woke critics can go eat a dick.

SNL sucks, but Chapelle will always be top-shelf entertainment.
