It's a good thing they stopped at one film and didn't try to cash in with a substandard sequel

It’s more that the *way* Pratt’s flaws are dealt with — kept minor and offscreen, as if showing them directly would be too upsetting — that reminded me of several Christian movies I’ve seen. There are plenty of movies where the lead doesn’t have to redeem himself at all, and I agree that’s a different thing. In this…

Dave Grohl is from the DMV and pays homage and due respect to all Black artistry including GO-GO. I disagree with your header as he has always been about the music of our folks with humility and reverence. Always. Idk where the privilege was presented especially since he publicly and privately gave Tony Thompson his fl…

Have you considered getting a lot drunk and high and legally watching a better movie? 

That was my first thought too. As annoying as McCain has been, she isn’t nearly as bad as it gets. Buckle up.

Unfortunately, no. He was on trial for a specific crime. Patterns of behavior can be used in court, but prior accusations cannot. It is the equivalent of using a former drug dealers past, with no convictions, be used as testimony when he or she is charged with a simple possession. Only past convictions can be used and…

This case is hard, because Cosby sucks so much. But ask yourself this- if a DA made a deal with a low level drug offender saying “if you testify in this other case, we won’t prosecute you for your drug case” and then a year later, that DA left and a new one stepped in and said “Well, that deal was with the other DA,…

There’s two places for anger to go here: Bill Cosby, obviously, because of his sexual assault, and the DA who lied and said he wasn’t going to bring a suit against him. This is not the PA Supreme Court’s fault. No matter how obviously guilty someone is, you can’t set a precedent that it’s ok to revoke someone’s fifth…

I often wonder what color the sky is in Sam’s world.

It was a moderate success in theaters and got positive enough reviews. It built up an enormous following soon afterwards from rentals and running endlessly on cable. My best guess is Barsanti was thirteen at the time and thought everything sucked.

Well, there goes my initial impulse to come down and say “what the fuck are you even on about?” the second I read that line.

Same.

a spin-off of the Star Trek parody movie that nobody really liked when it came out but that everybody seems to like these days

Yes.  I have Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Fairfax and recommend them in that order.  Those’re the only three I’ve tried.  

Lithium does not fuck you up if it’s necessary to treat something you struggle with.

Jezebel has been very complicit in the kind of hounding of female celebrities they condemn here, and recently too. Like, they were going after a 13-14 year old Billie Ellish for singing a song a grown man wrote yesterday. They looked for Lena Durham’s unretouched photos. But you’ll never see a reconsidering of their…

The full script of her statement is here:

Well, that's not nearly enough information to know how to feel about this. He could have anywhere from an 80 or 90% chance of being cured to an 80 or 90% chance of being dead by Thanksgiving.

Wow, that's so cool!

Yes, but as I understand it the movie started out as an “original” screenplay by Edward Neumeier titled “Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine,” and the explicit Starship Troopers elements like the character names etc. came in during the rewrite process after somebody noted the whole “young soldiers fighting alien bugs” thing was…
