Reminds me of Nickel and Dimed, when a journalist with a pretty solid grasp of sociology/economics worked minimum wage jobs for a year or two and more or less demonstrated it’s basically impossible to live any kind of life on that wage, let alone raise a family.

If you’re working in an industry where a mistake could literally kill someone, I can see that as being more permissible.

I get it. I discovered Rushmore when I was a freshman in college and I identified with Max in a way that felt almost painful. I saw a very recent version of my high school self: a dreamer who clearly had unrealistic expectations about who they were and what they could achieve; someone perhaps a little too preoccupied…

For me it comes down to Royal, the character. I loved everyone and everything around him but I personally just found Royal himself really irredeemable. I didn’t find his antics amusing or mischievous, just flat out abusive. I’m sure there is message in the movie about loving people, especially family, despite their…

You’re probably right, and my reaction to it all hinges on her calling him “motherfucker.”

This dude always looks sweaty to me. Like he’d be so much more comfortable in a t-shirt and shorts but that’s no his brand, so here he is wearing a suit and run-walking to a meeting and it’s 85 degrees out and humid as fuck and he’s just all sweaty and beet faced.

My list is almost identical to yours. I almost don’t even count Bottle Rocket as an Anderson film, which I saw a million years ago. I don’t remember anything about it besides being underwhelmed overall, though impressed at what I thought were the acting chops of the Wilson brothers. In retrospect I think they’re…

I love Wes Anderson but continue to be vexed by the love Royal Tenenbaums gets. Don’t get me wrong, I see its charm, but it’s frequently invoked as his best film. For me it ranks as my personal least favorite (not counting Darjeeling Limited, the only Anderson film I still haven’t seen).

This is what I “knew” would happen before Disney started using some pretty loaded language and tossing around accusations in its press releases. After that I kind of thought they’d lost their minds.

“Brown Bag It: Would you bang this person based on their body from the neckdown”

Dude is clearly far too competent to be a real Florida Man.

Thank you. One of them seems to be really invested in Ellen Pompeo and gave a wildly false interpretation of my stance; the other seems to keep moving the goal posts of what they’re whining about. It’s the internet I guess?

I’ve been waging a losing battle these last few months against my company insisting on holding an in person event in November. There’s literally no reason for it beyond “it will look cooler” but I can’t get through to them.

A friend of a friend went golfing with Manchin over the summer. It was lobbying bullshit, which means they basically shot the shit most of the day and “talked business” for about 15-20 minutes.

These dickheads have my district in the cross hairs. Thousands of dollars coming in from out of the district for a school board race to support a weirdo who has been ranting about critical race theory and “medical freedom” and a trans book in the library. Last week, when his opponent was addressing the school board,…

Getting great suggestions. I was considering a fishing net. 

This is a pop culture site, catch up. And don’t post if you don’t care.

There seems to be a Pompeo bashing party right here in the AV Club because this story objectively makes her look like a crazy asshole.

I also swear all the time. But not directed at my coworkers. Thankfully I haven’t worked anywhere in recent memory where calling a coworker “motherfucker” was acceptable.

That’s the laziest response I’ve ever seen
