I may not be the most objective observer*, but Neopets wasn’t really a Pokemon imitator. It was inspired by tamagotchi.

It’s partly a consequence of “cancel culture” being a (deliberately?) stupid name. Everybody sees a different thing in “cancel”, and everybody sees a different thing in “culture”.

Well they would be marginally better off in the sense that they would be the subject of one fewer barely-there barrel-scraping AV Club post.

So if Weinstein were a really nice guy, completely fair and ethical, never assaulted anybody, was a really crappy business man who lost all TWC’s money, had to declare bankruptcy, then sold off the company, how would these stars be any better off? Because the way I understand it, it’s the bankruptcy that gets…

“...learn a lesson about being more particular when choosing who they work with. maybe it’ll help convince those people and systems to change if they know that there are financial stakes to who they work with in addition to the ethical ones.”

In a way, I feel a little sorry for Yang (and this poor girl), because oftentimes, that’s what happens when someone asks you a question you don’t expect. The brain freezes up, and suddenly all information is unavailable in list form.

In another more prominent way, I wish that every person seeking to hold even a modicum…

I couldn’t give a shit about Yang one way or the other, but is running as the hip-hop candidate or something? I couldn’t come up with a Jay-Z song off the top of my head, but I couldn’t tell you a Maroon 5 song without Google either. Who cares?

reminded me of

He specifically said that he’s banned all chairs from the set. He then talked about how it affected his directorial style with the actors. That doesn’t mean that the crew have chairs. He just didn’t speak about them because no one in the entertainment ‘news’ business gives a shit about below the line.

Good catch. Meant to say “cracked” here; I recall now that I was daydreaming about trying the ring method with a whisked egg to see what it does to the color and texture. Changing now!

Assigning a number barrier that if crossed = too promiscuous to marry is inherently sex-negative. Thank god at the end, she finds out that she has not crossed it, or she would be spoiled goods. I think that 20 is also far below the stated or implied sexual partners that even George Costanza racked up on Seinfeld.

Ugh, yeah the George Clooney remake was way better than this. Way more fun and entertaining. Also didn’t have a morality tale slapped onto the end.

What’s baffling is that comma placement.

I still think she should be in Star Wars and her character name should just be her real name.

Hey AVC — a well meaning suggestion that I think it’s time to update that Covid boilerplate.

The stench of the undead does tend to... Linger.

Is it weird that I’m really proud of Bautista? He’s had such a fascinating career. Yeah, he does the occasional action movie worthy of his athletic prowess, but then he gets cast in stuff like Blade Runner 2049, Dune, or the new Knives Out. He’s one of the few wrestlers-turned-actors who I feel loves the craft.

guess which Cranberries hit gets an acoustic rendition?
