This is why I get all my news from The Onion.

I find it interesting that so many bands, no matter how large or small their following or how “cool” they are contemporarily, end up getting critically reappraised. I don’t know enough about music to assess that about One Direction, but I thought it was most striking about the nu-metal bands from the 90s - 00s. It…

I was referring to this scene:

What is a grit anyways?

I use a Roku.

You mean, entirely? I sub to HBO through Amazon’s channels, and watch on the Roku, are they disappearing that or something?

That seems like the quintessential Twitter joke: a super hot, bitchy take with no nuance. I don’t agree with that assessment for any of his movies except maybe TDKR. Interstellar has a weird curveball “gotcha” ending, but I wouldn’t call that “dumb.”

I’m not sure this advice will be that effective. The problem is, people who believe conspiracy theories either don’t believe in sources, or believe in the wrong ones. And arguing with them just entrenches them in their view.

I think you’re being a little bit harsh. Contracting COVID isn’t a binary option: instead, each action you take adds some percentage risk of contracting it and/or spreading it to others. People have different risk tolerances, and you can probably come up with a “community risk” threshold that no one should exceed.

That lion’s hair must get caught in its suit’s joints all the time.

I was thinking the same way, but I just had a realization. When game publishers say they only want to publish online-only, multiplayer games, they’re not saying that no one buys single-player games. They’re saying that more people will wait to buy them used or on sale.

I think TLOU2 is not a perfect game, but I respect it a lot for what it tries to do, and my regard for it has grown in the week or so since I’ve played it. But I do think they should have trimmed quite a few of the encounters in Seattle, and I think it could have shown or told its character motivations a lot more…

A Bachelor for seniors seems way more interesting than the parade of Bachelor(ette)s for skinny 20-something influencers and marketing consultants we have now.

What about the ones optioned for Quibi PSP?

Does anyone have any links or references I can look at to read more about “formal control”? Scorcese’s mentioned it a few times, but I can’t find anything on Google about it, and I’ve never heard the term before (but I haven’t been to film school).

I loved the 2011 revival and am excited to see it come back. IMO the characters can slot into any time period: they were outcasts in the grunge era, they were outcasts in the reality TV era, and they’ll be outcasts in the TikTok era.

Beavis and Butthead’s stupidity is funny. The Paul brothers’ stupidity is depressing.

Sorry, I meant Curb!

I wish they would take less time to make the seasons, if only because the last two have been so overstuffed.
