Right? I don’t want to see a digitally ensmalled penis on Sebastian Stan!

I think Car Seat Headrest is kind of the last bastion of this brand, which suggests that there may still be room for it, but it’ll be a while before a full-on revival happens.

I certainly appreciate Moss’s willingness to transform into a monster—getting a lot of Lady Macbeth vibes, referring to the William Oldroyd film. But gosh, it is aesthetically the miserable cherry atop a shit sundae.

I love Michael B. Jordan. He is a great actor who is almost underrated. As much as I would love to see him in a Star Wars movie, I’m glad he had the run he did while the sequel trilogy was happening--as much as I like/love the first two. 

Sure. Punk music doesn’t have to be overtly political, but it does come from a time and place of unrest and disillusionment. That is inherent to the genre and to the subculture. No one is arguing that Glenn Danzig can’t has to be up in arms about any social or political cause. But his response suggests that punk had…

It is embarrassing that someone who is, by and large, a punk luminary, so fundamentally doesn’t understand punk’s underlying ethos. As Danzig indicates here, he sees punk as provocation for provocation’s sake—which, frankly, is in line with how many white men co-opt counter-culture and legitimate social platforms as…

When I was 15, I LOVED Entourage. It is the ultimate fantasy for teenage boys.

Silly old bear.

Well, I’m glad Rotten Tomatoes has come around. Marmalade all around!

I mean, if you’re not gonna give it to Boseman, Hopkins in The Father is your best option—although, Riz Ahmed or Steven Yeun would’ve been cool, too. I know not a ton of people have seen that movie, but it’s a picture with legs.

I don’t know if this is a hot take or not, but this kid Spielberg? I think he’s an okay movie maker. He’s a got a chop or two.

A perfectly reasonable argument. Although, I’d argue that posthumous wins have usually been deserved--be it Peter Finch, Conrad L. Hall, Heath Ledger, probably someone else I’m forgetting. 

Because his performance is no less great no matter who says so. Besides, it’s clear that the industry was at least open to sending off a young star with what they consider to be a really nice show of recognition. It’s just a trophy. It’s ultimately not that big of a deal in and of itself.

I don’t know if “irresponsible” is the exact right word, but it feels like the right word.

It’s shitty for everyone involved, and no one deserved to be a part of that catastrophe. Hell, I love Anthony Hopkins in The Father. It’s arguably his best performance he’s ever given, but it would’ve been okay if he hadn’t won.

I’m not a fan of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and I think Boseman is never more than decent…

Saw this at Sundance, as well, and basically agree. Great midpoint set piece. But beyond that, it feels bored by itself. It’s so languorous and muddled in its mythology. If this were 20 minutes shorter and more objective-driven, rather than some meditation on humanity and spirituality or whatever--I barely remember…

This deserves its own “Great Job, Internet.” 

Right? It’s basically just Love & Mercy right now.

I mean, what’s there to say? All I know is that this movie was huge for me as a teenager. Seeing it in theaters is maybe the best filmgoing experience of my life. I’ve seen it dozens and dozens of times over the years. It’s always magic.

People take the wrong lessons from The Dark Knight and misunderstand why it’s so effective. Yes, it’s very serious and gritty, but it’s not like it’s a desaturated, humorless slog. The Dark Knight is incredibly funny, not only because of Nolan’s very corny sense of humor, but because Ledger’s got actual jokes. Not…
