I like that the movie took a chance and did something different. It seems like an effort to capture a nightmare on film and, to that degree, it succeeds. However, nightmares are rarely frightening to the conscious mind. Skinamarink is the film equivalent of a dark ride, for better and worse; what you're actually…

To be fair, the movie kind of forced their hand on this.

I’d literally say in ninety minutes there are about two-and-a-half events.

Comparing The Babadook to Skinamarink reminds me of that scene from The Simpsons where Bart gets scammed into paying a bunch for an Itchy and Scratchy animation cel, and the Comic Book Guy says, “Look: This is a Snagglepuss, drawn by Hig…

Hated it. It’s 90 minutes of off-angles looking at walls and door frames, child-voiced whispers so muffled the film provides its own subtitles, and the attempt to draw out a feeling of dread way past the breaking point. I can’t care that these little kids whose faces I never get to see are in oblique supernatural…

Hollywood nepotism isn’t the problem, it’s the symptom of a larger one- namely that it’s so incredibly hard to even attempt a career in the arts without already being financially well off and also well-connected. The fact that you NEED to know a guy who knows a guy etc. just to get your foot in the door, and also need…

It’s weird to hear people say a comedian shouldn't have told a joke and that an actor was judged too harshly for hitting someone at his workplace. 

It seems to be taken as read that the ten year ban is an extreme punishment but I disagree. If whoever won the vfx Oscar had slapped Rock over one of his jokes and was banned for a decade,.or even for life, I don’t think anyone would blink. It’s just because Smith is super famous people expect leniency and are…

What the fuck are you talking about... all three people involved in this story are black! It’s pretty disingenuous to claim there’s a racial component to Chris Rock making a joke at her expense.

I’m disappointed that he’s been banned for a decade. Imagine the tension at the next ceremony whenever the camera would have cut to or panned over to him. That would’ve been good TV.

I don’t feel about Will Smith. I feel that performers should not be assaulted on stage.

Unless: After making romantic promises between snuggling and sweet nothings, Andor snuck out after exhausting them in the sack! That dawg.

It’s not too hard to get ‘condemned’ by the ADL for a joke that involves Jewish people or Jewish culture. Just ask Larry David, Seth Macfarlane, Rob Reiner, Joan Rivers, Michael Che, Trevor Noah, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

To be fair, the evidence you’re citing would also be the output of that process.

1. Mask mandates were introduced before we knew jack shit. While helpful, the instructions to wear a mask, wash your hands and stand six feet apart were the best available at the time. You’re acting like we’ve learned nothing in the last 30 months.

Your analogy doesn’t make sense. Yes, “Most people can take stairs, but it’s still fucked up to not have ramps.” That’s why it would be wrong to require people not to wear masks. But you want to require all people to wear masks, forever, regardless of whether they have a condition that puts them at heightened risks or…

I don’t see how a comment about what “most people” are doing can be ableist. It is perfectly reasonable for a person to continue to mask — I do on public transportation. And some people (like Hader) have particularly good reasons to want to mask, and we should respect that. But most people have assessed the risks…

30 Rock had “glaring faults”? There are probably a few nits you can pick here and there, but I recently re-watched a few early seasons, and it’s still one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

Nah, while there may indeed be valid questions to ask between the rights of the documentarian and the rights of the subject and there may indeed be some questionable ethics involved here, this is still a bad comparison. There is a clear difference between physically assaulting someone and using their words, freely and…

just because you’re at a disadvantage doesn’t mean you deserve to live in poorly built places lol

And god, Demetriou’s Matt Berry impression just slayed me. The best bit ever. Priceless.
