That was the cultural analog I thought of right away too, at least as far as the type of character she represents possibly. I’m surprised no one’s talked at all about the symbolism of this episode as far as the fear/fearful people dichotomy. Is it a critique of the alt right, or just extremism in general?, I really…

“... we’re way too concerned with stopping the poor from getting away with anything to stop the rich from getting away with everything.”

The quote from the writer should have said, “The Office was an objectively funny sitcom.” The way I worded it would have actually been acceptable. Who’s the wearing the dunce cap know?

They should have called the constabulary.

These kind of articles are annoying...but not too annoying. Comment section should be fun. Oh, and how did I know someone would write about Wilco? It’s also just my opinion (and this might seem controversial, ha ha) but Billie Joel and his fans can feck themselves: a huge douche trailed by all his little bags. Alright…

Yeah, I’d be willing to bet the average pedestrian in a crowded metro area is inhaling as much or more incidental CO from vehicles than from cigs.

Yeah, so a bunch of cowardly rednecks can play with their guns. Every dead child should be sitting heavy on these assholes’ conscience when they stroke those barrels but sociopaths don’t have consciences so...

Ayoade is a treasure.

Man, I could not agree more. I guarantee a few of these ammosexuals go to prison and the rest would get a lot more careful.

Yeah, this guy’s thinking (if you can call it that) so far outside the box, I’m pretty CERTAIN he’ll never get a glimpse of a feline. Groan. It’s either this or crying.

I really kind of feel guilty for even smirking at a time like this, but it’s one of those: “If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry” moments, and “orange windsock” is fecking hilarious.

I can’t help but think about the old chestnut about hypocrites and the temperature of their eternal residence when I see shit like this. “Burn, burn, yes you’re gonna burn!”

That’s helpful. Hoser.

I didn’t always agree with Thompson’s hyperbolic take on things, but boy could that guy string together some dynamic fucking sentences. I wonder what he would make of ‘Murica today? I have a feeling his always over-heating brain would just explode. For me this is a tragic time to be alive.

Oh, being myself a booster of early comic strip cultural importance, and amateur historian of all thing comic strip/book/pulp/g.age illustration, etc., I agree with you. It seems besides us die hards and a few scholars the true impact and import of the original strips has been lost, and it’s not hard to see why with…

“Jennifer Connelly is responsible for summoning some of the first prepubescent boners of an entire generation.”

Man, we are way past due for a good Buck Rogers take.

I agree with your take on Fenn, a different type of allure. To paraphrase another poster: We didn’t have the internet then, Sherilynn Fenn (or J.Connelly) was my internet. I think Paxton could have pulled it off but he’s not exactly oozing a tonnage more charisma than Campbell. Saying Estevez is an intriguing choice…

Comment of the week for me, kudos!

I’m about the same age and I found Connelly insufferable in Labyrinth a few years earlier. I have a hard time now thinking of a female star whose redeemed themselves more in my eyes however.
