I’ll let you google it, but the latest CDC piece has emotional abuse of men at slightly higher rates than that of women - and given your concern with abuse, I’m sure you’re aware that the massive societal shame in reporting or discussing abuse among men probably skews that higher; that you’re essentially doing…

How ironic that a troll who labels abuse victims incels because they’re cishet males and had their reported post dismissed now comes back to claim their insight is worth listening to.

I’ve long thought that if Zelazny had died at 78 in 2015 instead of 58 in 1995 so much of his material would have hit a sweet spot for what SF/F had become by then. Instead, there’s a good proportion of the under 40 set in that fanbase who are just completely unfamiliar with him. (Somehow I’m not surprised that io9…

Which is doubly unfortunate given that - as I’m sure you’re aware of given your history - there’s pretty good evidence that cishet men suffer emotional abuse at the hands of women significantly higher than the reverse.

No, it was a good question.

While I don’t doubt her overall story, it looks like she’s mixed up a couple of details of it - not surprising as I’d be shocked if given all the drama she had filming it that she’s seen the film even once in the last 30+ years.

I think the latter is probably a fair criticism of his military hero roles.

I would give significant credit to the corpsman in that scene as well, who was in fact a real one, Danielle Albert, that was only around that day because the XO was concerned that since the cast was doing stunts on the ship that they needed to have someone to man sickbay just in case.

Poor Riley Keough. I hope her father found her mother early enough so that CPR mattered, but she’s the one person in that family who seems to have successfully distanced herself from the drama - and now may have to make EOL decisions.  Let’s hope not.

Bronson Pinchot has talked about it in a few places including his long form interview from 2009 here (which has been discussed several times in threads), but since they’ve never fixed links properly this is the relevant part from that interview:

It’s not a surprise given the stuff that’s come out about Murray but disappointing to hear, since I still watch Quick Change from time to time; it captures the late 80's/early 90's vibe of New York so hilariously well (“you can take this city!”)

And whatever else you may think about Casey Affleck, the reason that skit is so funny because it portrays Massholes, much of the Boston metro area, and Dunkin Donuts so accurately - or as a boss of mine once put it, “Yeah, you really need to go to a Saturday morning Bruins game at the Garden. Just once, though.”

Your comment on Daddario’s acting plays a role in the moment in the opening episode that I realized the show was going to have some real problems - the leadup to the “I’ve had a terrible day and need to blow off stress” hookup scene.

Also, I just randomly learned that Airheads isn’t available to stream.

The original A Little Less Conversation is a worthwhile omission from the top 30; it’s just not all that inspiring.

One reason I kept my DVHS unit long past its obsolescence in playing D-Theater and recording High Def stuff the better part of 20 years ago now is that I doubt there are more than a handful of other VHS capable decks out there with an HDMI output. I’ll have people over who when for fun I put a tape in are outright…

One of the things that hit me on rewatch (and why older me views the movie as far weaker than when I watched it as a teen all those years back) is that they start with the tract housing shot - and then almost ignore the suburban setting besides the occasional happily disconnected adult having a glass of wine. It’s one…

it was the right decision in terms of protecting the actor from really inappropriate personal scrutiny

That whole lockdown series was one of the best things to show up on Youtube during the pandemic - three millennial girls just doing three millennial girl roommate things.

One thing that I realized years later about Pump Up the Volume is how it’s the last movie that shows a 1980s (-ish given its release date) high school. Almost immediately afterwards, you had two simultaneous, very brief flashes in the pan: grunge and the neo-African look made popular by Public Enemy and on In Living…
