Pretty much the entire newswire is cancellations now. They also need to stop calling it news because it isn’t. Whether the writers are on the right side of the issue or not they simply insert their own assessments of guilt in all the time, like this comment, buried among a bunch of statements that otherwise look like…

Remember that Erik’s primary goal is to eliminate all cars not named the Fit, and all automakers not named Honda, so take it with a grain of salt.

*rolls eyes*

Neutral: Have fun in your disease tubes. I’ll stick to cars.

I dunno. I find this scrubbing of a show’s history a bit bullshitty. There’s a lot of sexist/homophobic jokes in shows like Cheers (or more recently How I Met Your Mother) that would never get into a show today but were a product of their times (even if those times were just 10 years ago). Just let the past reflect…

Nuance and context aren’t really the forte of the movement for this, it’s more a machete than a surgical knife— this episode is going to be pulled at some point.

With an attitude like that, I can certainly see why they’ve no longer got him writing for this site! How dare he besmirch perfomative wokeness!

A genuine question. (In other words, I’m not trying to start a fight, or even to make a point, so much as I just want to understand more fully.) In philosophy, there’s something called the “use/mention” distinction. Essentially, it differentiates between using a word, i.e. saying it to refer to a thing (as in “that…

I feel like Schumacher was a bit of throwback, a studio director that could do a little bit of everything — musicals, comedies, thrillers,dramas, message pictures, fantasies — and inject some personal style (Tony Scott fits that mold too, imo) Before the Batman movies, Schumacher was known for films like Lost Boys,…

Love the hate you guys are getting on Twitter for this dumpster-fire of a headline.

I am, in fact, an IT consultant/engineer. I simply don’t give a shit. I pay LOTS of money for very good insurance. If my shit gets stolen, I get new shit. I didn’t even have KEYS for my house in Maine for the first decade I owned it, we literally never locked the place. When your house has glass windows, locks only…

I have zero desire for any car where I have to fuck around with putting physical keys in locks. I have my Luddite tendencies when it comes to cars, but keys are very much not one of them. I have touch code locks on my HOUSES too. Physical keys are relics of bygone days.

No one understands the nuances of comedy anymore, do they?

Have we considered that we still have books that feature these kinds of reprehensible images and ideas, or describing other horrible things — and that literature-loving children might accidentally stumble on them and get stung.

As I mentioned in another comment section, I knew a woman he mentored. He seemed to be a very generous guy who quietly gave a lot of his free time to charity and social causes. RIP.

Fuck the haters. Batman Forever is awesome (#ReleaseTheSchumacherCut). And Joel Schumacher in general always seemed like a pretty kind man.

Sure- but why is your job to tell them what’s ok for them to want/buy?

You must be fun at parties

Not if you actually want to tow and have all that interior volume there isn’t.
