“Sullivan is pretty much the reason we have gay marriage”

As others have noted. Andrew’s words made him seem like a racist. His inability to hear anyone else’s opinion other than his own made him seem close-minded.

Yeah, rehabilitation is bad! Once people admit to doing bad things, they should never do anything again! They should just become online accountants, and never leave their homes, ever!

lmao I did not see any of Stewart’s show but Andrew Sullivan is absolutely a racist, nobody needed Jon Stewart to make that obvious

Andrew Sullivan looked like a clown on that episode. I am not sure if there is a more close-minded intellectual than Andrew. He refused to understand what Stewart and his guests were saying, and no, they did not call him a racist. He refused to even entertain that what he believed might be incorrect, whereas Stewart…

Why would he blame himself for a successful show that was only canceled because his bosses at the time were cowards?  Also, maybe tell Sullivan to not propagate 'racial IQ' bullshit if he doesn't want to be branded as a racist.

Comedy Central is under the Paramount Global umbrella, so they definitely do have corporate overlords. It’s just that they give different shits about different things than Apple does. If Stewart finds a reason to rail on Chris McCarthy’s golfing buddies, things might take a turn.

Stewart didn’t need to call Andrew Sullivan a racist, Andrew Sullivan answered the questions Stewart asked and came across as the out-of-touch accidental racist middle-aged white man that he is. Not being personally racist is all well and good, but you also can’t deny institutional racism, and the residual effects of i…

Yeah, won’t someone think of the barbage bag that is Andrew Sullivan?!!

Russell Brand sounds like a poseur that went to 3 sessions of a philosophy class in community college then proceeded to indulge in hard-core drugs for a decade and now thinks he’s “enlightened”. He’s an idiot.

As a lifelong British person, I agree with this wholeheartedly.

The difference is monetization. Producers probably wanted even more outrageous behavior from Brand, because the public was shocked by it and interested in it. Brand did things like have sex with a homeless person on a reality show IIRC. He and I think Jonathan Ross got fired from a radio show for harassing an older…

Russell Brand sounds like someone doing a bad impression of a British person.

Like, if you started talking like Russell Brand, people would go, “Yo, that’s offensive.”

I’ve encountered directing students who WORSHIP BR2049 and I just can’t understand why. I’ll never forget this - it was the only film I’ve seen in theatres where I left halfway threw to smoke a cigarette because I was just SO bored. It was pretty to look at but just so so soulless.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Lynch version, but since I was also underwhelmed by the Villeneuve version one thing I notice is that passion for the source material doesn’t always mean better results. Lynch made it clear when he took on Dune that he had no interest in sci-fi. Villeneuve loves sci-fi and…

I didn’t much care for Villenueve’s bland version. I’d love to see DL recut it, what fun!

Eh, Villenueve’s version left out too many important story elements for my taste. Lynch hit all the important beats and made a much more interesting movie, both visually and story wise.

Hate to defend George Lopez, but fuck all hecklers. Shut the fuck up. It doesn’t matter that the comments were “positive”. This goes for dipshits singing along and screaming at concerts too.

The casino’s assistant general manager acknowledged that the recording did show “guests yelling out,” but that the heckling was positive.

Once again: if you’re at a live performance, barring an emergency that generates a cry of pain or some other kind of involuntary noise, your task is simple: shut the fuck up, and watch the show.
