I agree about the other examples but not Atlanta. Atlanta is the new “Have you seen the wire?” with white people. It’s stanned for by every relevant white boy critic. I mean walk over to the av club it’s the only show with black people they don’t hate. In fact that’s part of the reason I have yet to give it an honest…

Atlanta is absolutely being hailed as genius.

“weaponized”

A good point is not equivalent to good art.

Do you act out scenes from movies ever (except the occasional comedy one liner)? Not unless you are a theater actor. Is singing along to a song something pretty much everyone does? Yes. To compare them is ludicrous. Not that they should be singing along, but the comparison might make you more dumb than them.

This is a long-winded piece wherein Juzwiak tries to squeeze something juicy out of an artist who’d like to talk about her music.

I’m so disgusted by Jesse Thorn’s mustache I had to delete The Sound of Young America & Jordan Jesse Go off my phone

“his ninth, somehow”

Just as long as Cross isn’t dressed like this, I suspect he’s safe in Tambor’s presence:

So? Why shouldn’t he?

Waiting on smug superiority post from Recognitions in 3,2,1...

“So basically, as long as he publicly said “my bad”, it’s a-ok?”

Oh, he said an extraordinarily shitty thing, full stop. I see no reason to disbelieve the gist of his apology, whether he said it in earnest and at some point realized his mistake, or was just being a provocative asshole.

yeah i mean, it totally sucks that he said that, but i’m willing to believe he doesn’t have total recall of a howard stern interview he did 15 years ago. that being said, 15 years ago someone should have smacked him upside his head and made him apologize then.

Or we could infer that he didn’t literally JUST NOW realize he was wrong. Would you bring up old shitty things you’ve said but no longer believe if nobody else brought it up?

I think people are seriously underestimating just how widespread Tarantino’s POV was at that time, in both the filmmaking and critical community.

So is this story over yet?

Guess those expensive escorts can take a night off. For once, Tarantino put his own foot in his mouth.

I can’t see that Chuck Close photograph because her tits are in the wa—-oooooohhhhhhh.......I get it.....

Because those facts don’t fit the narrative they want to run with. It’s a shame because I think it’s that type of unreasonable opining that actually hurts victims’ causes, when they are trying to make a case against the truly guilty.
