I’m Black and I’m not all that into horror, but if the movie looks interesting I might go see it. I went to see Get Out for that reason.

*cough* Stan Lee is an old white dude *cough*

That’s an absurd opinion. Many actors who have spoken about things, who have been vocal and critical towards others, have had nothing to do with these scandals. You can’t blame an entire industry of working people because of a dozen or so people. You can’t do that with DC. You cant do that with SV. Or WS. Nor should…

I’ve heard this over and over again, but it finally started sinking in over the past few months: there is nothing inherently wrong with men, but there is something wrong with a society that glorifies men acting like monsters.

In fairness, I did say that poorly. Weinstein’s not the damn buster he’s the filth that spilled out. It’s the women who came forward who deserve the credit.

To #2, I don’t know that this is an easy sacrifice to a lot of people. John Lennon beat his wife, Michael Jackson was probably a pedophile, nearly every ‘90s rapper I love is misogynistic as shit.

one of the things I see a lot of in response to these pieces is “well why didn’t you say anything???”

No, thank you to his victims who came forward.

That’s not South Park’s ethos, though, and never has been.

I remain doggedly cynical for three reasons:

1. There’s absolutely no reason to expect that Hollywood as a whole would change their power structure, which extraordinarily rewards a select elite over everyone else. That is the fundamental reason that these sociopaths have the power to treat everyone else like garbage,…

It’s amazing that all this seems to have flowed out of Weinstein’s accusers coming forward. He was so powerful in Hollywood, way more powerful than the actors in his films, that once his victims started coming forward en masse about his criminal behavior than coming forward about anyone else become less terrifying. I…

Two white men in late middle age make a show about another white man in late middle age whose the coolest and smartest person who never lived.

Claim not to endorse his nihilistic philosophy but the fact he’s undefeatable is a decisive statement unto itself.

It’s not Richard Dawkins Atheism it’s Nihilism that you’re describing.

You can’t show Pickle Rick tearing apart rats and security guards for twenty minutes and then say you didn’t glorify it because of the psychologist’s little speech at the end.

“And embedded in both parties is a constant reassurance, via the show’s various deep-cut references and in-universe in-jokes, that they are the ones who ‘get’ it. They are the chosen few who grasp the nerd-dom it celebrates in the correct way.”

It sounds like you know how stupid this type of thinking is, and then you…

He actually explains it fairly well in the theatrical version as well though. The aliens highjack the human satellite networks to coordinate. So we just simply tap into that to plant the virus. It’s not that complicated, yet EVERYBODY that makes fun of ID4 says that this is a huge plot hole.

It all has to do with the times. Back then it made for an interesting narrative and with where we were heading with the technology. It actually made half sense in theory. Implausible, but a good theoretical narrative that was original back then.

Now it's overused in film and to top off with how far our computing…

I’m 99% sure that that was actually in the original screenplay.

*adjusts glasses*
I think you will find that it was a Powerbook 5300 used in ID4, which unless I miss my guess, was running System 7.0.1 at the time

It sure is nice how everyone on the internet seems to have a story about how one time they were bullied by a bigger kid when they were little, and they just beat up that bully and everyone marveled at how tough they were and they were never bullied again. Exceedingly oversimplified moral: bullies are just big empty…
