I’m legit shocked, in the best way possible, that they went for a Bachelorette in her late thirties. Even if it is still this franchise, it is actually a really interesting new dynamic as I can’t see her going with the traditional dynamic.

The one-two punch of Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel shut down many of his critics. They showed he had staying power.

Wes Anderson backlash is so strange to me. The guy has generated little-to-no controversy in 25+ years of making major movies and he puts out a reliably solid (and lucrative) product.

I’m so glad it hasn’t happened, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t morbidly curious what a Wes Anderson Marvel movie would be like.

Also it really is his thing, and his thing only. I hope he never changes.

I know there are people who get tired of Wes Anderson because he only does The One Thing, but I still get excited over every new movie of his. I mean, yeah, he only does The One Thing, but he does it so well.

I had somehow completely forgotten their Destiny’s Child AVCU cover but found it along with a whole AVCU re-up playlist:

Gee, what could possibly go wrong? It’s not like AIs inherit the bias of their creators or perpetuate existing inequalities or anything. Plus, the big production houses are clearly taking too many risks in which scripts they develop and greenlight!

I had problems with TLJ, but bringing back ghost robot palpatine is the most boring story to follow up that movie.

This really is the true end point of a media environment in which “objective” means not “some things are empirically true and some things are empirically false” but instead “not taking sides with anyone.” The latter is ok if the argument is about something completely subjective, but the former is how you end up with a…

I know some people here miss the laugh a second early GP, but what it has morphed into over the years has been something even greater: a comedy that also touches and engages me. I CARE for these characters, what happens, what lies ahead for them, and also the redemption and optimism within the whole cast. This episode…

Feels like the thesis of the whole show-the creative team has said that we will discover ‘What We Owe to Each Other’-maybe that’ll be it. People make each other better, and we owe it to each other to mutually improve (not necessarily save someone who shows no capacity or change or interest in self-improvement). 

...say, you’ve had a stressful day and can’t read your favorite sports blog because it’s been destroyed from the inside out.

Love the Deadspin like title. Kotaku forever, Deadspin forever.

WeWork can get fudged, along with the powers that be at G/O.

Way to #stickto(e)sports.

WeWork is just trying to follow their new “stick to esports” mandate

COTD right there. Rob, can I get ungreyed? I read Jalopnik (and this column) everyday (I don’t stick to sports) and let’s just say that I won’t be commenting elsewhere on Kinja for a while.

First, I wouldn’t trust the owner of the car at all

Spanfeller is the kind of intellectually stunted dickhead that thinks Donald Trump is a “successful businessman,” and the same sort of douchewaffle also-ran pity pledge frat bro who mistakes naked aggression for toughness and bravery.

He is, in other words, emblematic of the steady dumbing-down of this nation.

Fuck…
