This is fucking stupid and dangerous?

Yeah, pulling the show is probably the right move if the guy is in every episode, but it blows for the folks who were competing this year.

The former. Sessions is fine, but they get a new artist every 1-2 weeks including some bigger indie stars, and I would half expect performances for sessions to fly under the radar still because no one actually subs to the service. St. Vincent just did sessions, I could see an artist of a similar profile who should…

I thought this whole episode was a mess. There were a few jokes that legitimately cracked me up in a way SNL rarely does anymore (candy cane blood jar, little pig boy, Franco’s za-suh delivery), but they were the product of inherently lazy sketch construction that wore itself out before any of the pieces came to their…

It’d be nice for indie bands to stop doing Sirius-XMU sessions on this note...

I <3 Huckabee’s is becoming a very difficult movie to watch, in spite of its message being divorced from the behaviors of its creative personnel.

I found the Whedon bits to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m actually kind of bummed out by this, because although JL itself wasn’t very good, the pieces finally seemed to be in place for something fun at the end.

This is weird, but I’m not going to write him off for it at all. That said, it’s kind of funny that Marvel supposedly promotes this guy to smooth over this year’s earlier diversity gaffes, when they’re also supposedly working behind the scenes to shuffle the newer diverse legacy characters into secondary titles and…

These guys have also been caught doing flat-out illegal shit during “stings” at teacher’s unions over the summer, and they’ve likely lost their lawsuit insurance as well: https://www.buzzfeed.com/stevenperlberg/james-okeefe-is-fighting-his-insurance-company

My experience with the 2-3 Time pieces I read each year says they were already kind of center-right anyway. 

It supposedly has a huge audience of older, more conservative leaning folks. It exists in its own weird self-sustaining viewership bubble, similar to the Adam Sandler stuff. That those people probably don’t give a shit likely makes it even easier for Netflix to ignore this.

I want to see both of Snyder’s original visions (pre- and post- BvS flopping) out of dire curiosity and knowledge of his tendency to bury small character moments in favor of angst and overburdened plot, but I wouldn’t step to the plate for him as a creative visionary. I enjoyed Watchmen once the longer cuts hit, and I…

This thing was kind of a mess but by the end I was convinced they’ve finally figured shit out and can get it right next time. Here’s hoping the DCEU doesn’t fully implode before then, because I actually really enjoyed the cast and character work! I even thought all the messy CG looked a little better this time out.

Until this year, he’d temper himself and walk back his comments, cloak them in irony to the point of plausible deniability, or exaggerate them so much that it felt like he just wanted to draw attention to animal rights or whatever. This stuff has been present in his material since the very start of his solo career,…

I am torn on this show because on one hand it has a bunch of people I love, but on the other hand, it looks completely insufferable and I’m super tired of mumblecore shit about adult couples’ sexual boundaries.

I want to get into this but there are so many seasons of On Cinema at this point, and the first couple video seasons move pretty slow in establishing the mythology. Is there like a starter guide or a catch up guide or something that I could use to just hit the important moments?

He should realize the minute he quits a really great script will come along and the next actor will be heralded for their work just for being there. He clearly got the shakes when he realized how reviled Zack Snyder is and how bad BvS was, and then probably realized he has no meter for these kinds of projects. He…

This dude needs to be purged, and I would argue that some of the intermediary administrative/management folks at DC probably need to go along with him. Everyone has known about him for years, and you would’ve thought that Warner’s would have axed him when they started taking a more direct role in the management of the…

She was in Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain and so I’m wondering if that’s related to one of these stories?

I saw Branagh’s Hamlet in a 9th Grade Stagecraft class, and it was so gorgeous and the acting was so act-y that I didn’t even care that it was boring Shakespeare stuff. This looks like the first time since then that he’s hit the same level of visual flair and overstated stage acting, and I’m pumped to see it even if…
