Yep. The first Trump term showed us how much of our government hinges on the notion that “no TRUE President would ignore these deeply revered gentlemen’s agreements!” And like...maybe assuming innate nobility on the part of American politicians was a bad idea?

Man, I don’t know, he was pretty much as bad as I thought he would be, barring not knowing the details of his fuck-ups beforehand. Like if you had told me Trump would abuse the office and mishandle a crisis, that would more or less track given his nomination run. Best case scenario was that he would be a figurehead…

Yup. Even once he won, my feeling was, “Okay, relax, that was all campaign talk. He’s not actually dangerous and even if he is, that’s what the other branches of government are for.”

nah it’s not an age thing half of these actors are over 50 and on imdb one of the younger ones is credited as being best known for agatha all along. i think it’s merely a ‘cast’ not an ‘all star cast’.

subpar is being pretty generous, especially with season 5.

That’s not what The Bear is about.

He's a real dean-va!

Starred for the The Night of the Comet reference.

I loved the comics up to a point — the bit after the prison where the sheriff spends hours on the phone talking to an empty receiver stuck with me. The show — the only bit that hit was the sheriff waking up in the hospital in the first episode and slowly coming to realize things just aren’t right, I gave it up…

Sorry INDEPENDENT HERE

Give me a fucking break. You are a Trumper.

It’s possible to acknowledge that Biden has been doing the job for four years while being skeptical that he can keep doing the job for four more years. As for conflating his ability to work with his ability to speak, you’re not wrong, but public speaking is part of the job.

Translation: not a registered Republican

Biden was holed up in Camp David for a week (supposedly) prepping immediately prior to the debate. The “jetlagged” excuse is patently absurd. A stutter doesn’t induce you to say things like “we finally beat Medicare” or, when the other guy is talking, just kind of stare off into space with your mouth half open like…

I absolutely fucking hate this take.

It sorta sounds like nostalgia for an era that wasn’t actually as good as she remembers it being. For every Tarantino there had to be a thousand indie filmmakers who didn’t make a buck back on their film. Indie filmmaking was supposed to be more about making a film for the sake of art and not making big bucks anyhow. …

“As soon as she said her performance sucked because she got substandard material, that was viewed as punching down pretty hard.”

I support the notion that branding women as “difficult” is a sexist and damaging notion to women, but Heigl is also a notorious asshole who burned all her bridges her damn self without any studios needing to brand her as such (not that they didn’t).

It is genuinely one of the best movies of the ‘80s. I mean, in terms of “crowd-pleasing” and “fun.” And it is legitimately one of the best action-comedies ever made.

I showed BHC to my kids a couple of years ago, which was also the first time I’d watched it in probably 20 years. It mostly held up, but I was struck by how low-key the movie is. There’s really not a lot of action scenes, and the climax is pretty mild, even by ‘80s standards. I loved it as a kid (we saw it in the…
