Thanks for sharing this; while I still have some thots on the content of his movie and show (they’re messy, all over the place, and sometimes I think his message gets muddled by story and vice-versa) I was way flippant with my comment and appreciate you sharing info and giving me the chance to rethink my assumptions.

The timing of the strike has nothing to do with what I’m saying. My point is Reilly considers himself an activist and Virgo tries to leverage an anticapitalist message; he’s getting paid by the worst post-capitalist offender and going after a fellow artist for basically saying “I hope there can be a resolution to this…

I think what sours it for me is that even if you aren’t a rich tech bro, affording a ticket, travel, and supplies is still prohibitive and requires massive privilege. And then all my friends who can afford to go come back and tell me how refreshing it is that people are so generous and spontaneous and giving. And the…

I’m sure Reilly is super chill when people ask why he was ok partnering with Amazon for his latest project.

Man if anyone’s wondering where the avclub (an organization that’s anti-union in practice) stands on the strike, I invite them to read any article which crams mention of the strike into any entertainment-related news…that is, every single article from the last few months.

Feels a lot like people are trying to find the least generous reading of a nonstatement.

Yeah; the first paragraph especially sets up this whole “Doja Cat is terrible in general” premise which 1) I wasn’t aware of 2) isn’t relevant to this mild mixup.

Usually someone who’s learned such a lesson wouldn’t be relentlessly struggling to clap back when people express disagreement.

Your perspective on a lot of this might shift if you stop to realize most people don’t have your opinions in mind when they get dressed in the morning.

I will not take his word for it. I will not, I cannot, and I will not!

I’m so tired of these Star Wars!

every point you’re making is obliterated by the concurrent success of open toed shoes and foot porn.

Say goodbye to these Michael!

Please yes, as long as every questline doesn’t involve running some errands for a faction until you’re suddenly its supreme leader.

Also the more and more I think about the whole “how does Raylan fit in to today’s modern times?” question for City Primeval, the more bunk it gets: the entire premise of Justified was that he was a modern-day marshal who acted like a wild-west sheriff, getting into way way way more quick-draw showdowns than any modern…

The original show consisted of a mishmash of stories and characters from non-Raylan books; I’ve only read a half-dozen Leonard novels (none of the Raylan works), but most of the lawmen who show up in the ones I’ve read could be swapped in with Raylan with a little work. The writers/showrunner of this series couldn’t…

It’s in the John Peters revision

It feeds into the annoying-ass trope that if two people of the opposite sex are emotionally or even just physically close in any way, they should be kissing.

That’s a lot of words to put towards expressing one’s purported apathy.

I was pretty bummed out by it, tbh. It was just so dour; the og run was so much fun. Every episode gave a small story within the episode as well as the overarching season-long villian arc, and City Primeval had none of that, just Clement running around being a wild man (I like Holbrook, but Clement was such a cartoon…
