underrated comment. 

It’s been a long time since I was shocked by the apparent cluelessness of an AVC reviewer. I mean, so long that I can barely remember that there WAS once a time when it would have been shocking. 

Brought peace? 

Does one of the extremes come with sprinkles? 

It’s like I said, “believe all women” may be a good hashtag, but it’s a bad recipe for justice if you take it literally. Believing one person over another simply on the basis of their identity is kinda how we got in this mess in the first place. Simply flipping the script isn’t justice, just a new kind of injustice.…

not on drag night!

The big problem these days is the manicheanism and artificial dualism - equating minor or incidental offenses with the most severe, judging people as either entirely bad or entirely good, and putting the entirety of judgement on perception rather than intent.

It’s like why “believe all women” is a great hashtag, but a…

Nah, all dudes have definitely done something at some point that made someone feel sexually uncomfortable. Eventually we’ll get em all. Then we’ll get around to all the women. By then, we’ll have the sex-bots, and humans will avoid any contact or interaction with even potentially sexual overtones. And then the…

I trust that the AVC old-timers have at least warned you about the legendary A+’s that were inadvertently handed out over the years. So whenever you think you’ve seen the best of something, always ask yourself, “But, it is “Palestinian Chicken” good?” 

Was happy to give Sorry to Bother You more of my money, and drag friends along with me this past weekend. Yes, it’s a bit of a mess, and wildly inconsistent, but goddamn, it is FUN, and utterly original, and I’m happy to support an enthusiastic and provocative mess from the kind of voice we need more of, than another…

Oh, not disagreeing all that much, I just got a much bigger thrill out of it in spite of its flaws, and that’s a personal thing. I’m not sure when you started reviewing for the AVC, but back in the old days, we pretty regularly razzed some of the critics for their grading tendencies (real or perceived), so please…

I was going to get seriously pissed about the grade of “B”, but looking at this guy’s other reviews, he seems to be going for B’s the way A. A. Dowd gave everything a C.

But seriously, this is the best thing I’ve seen so far this year. “The Death of Stalin” may have been a little bit more polished and been funnier…

Patton Oswalt provides another “White Voice”. Sorry not every person in every artistic endeavor has always and in perpetuity behaved as a perfect Soviet Human. 

It does carry a lot of that - see if you can catch the not-too-subtle callout to Gondry (replete with a loosely camoflauged parody of his name) in the WayFair proposal video!

Just saw it, and he ain’t wrong. 

I’m actually totally fine with that comparison, because:

WAY more fun to watch than any CGI crap out of the MCU. 

Hey, gay guy here as well. And frankly a lot less concerned about someone doing something offensive than what they do after getting called out for it. And you’re missing out on one HELL of a great film. I mean, shit, if every gay male artist who groped an underage twink, or used the N-word, or shit on women because…

You really triggered some hardcore ABBA fans apparently. And I mean, I can understand being passionate about pop culture, but ABBA? Who are these people who care THAT much about how they’re perceived? Swedes? 

Holy moses he was hilarious in this. Very much like Jon Hamm doing his comedic take on the “Don Draper type” he’s done so much. Which I mean as praise, because Hamm is very funny doing that.
