The B&N Nook store is the best argument against buying a Nook.

1. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)

Genuinely, what did he do with his time away? What has he learned about the impact his choices had on women, financially, emotionally, psychologically? What sort of restitution has he made to his victims? I think there should be a pathway to redemption. Accountability does not end with fessing up to what you did, it…

“A reunion forces them to reckon with the inappropriate lyrics of their past songs, thanks to a Swedish songwriter, played by Colbert. The women decide to now use their own voices to write uniquely quirky songs, which leads to true gems like “Dream Girlfriends,” “Famous5eva,” and “New York Lonely Boy””

This is not…

Shockingly, between this and Saved By the Bell... Peacock Premium has been well worth the price that I pay to get it free with my Comcast internet service!

Bad Jim Varney lookin’ kinda nice

I enjoyed this, especially the part where Davidson has to stop the rapping long enough to justify the run time of “The King of Staten Island.” Also the Simon Rex as Ernest bit, which reminds me of June Diane Raphael’s confession on “How Did This Get Made” that she found Jim Varney “kinda hot.”

I mean this is how abuse works, you are completely manipulated and in this case she was raped, physically and emotionally abused again and again. You just can’t give up, you just keep reaching out as best as you can, and hope one day they reach back. She said her parents kept raising concern, and I’m sure as much as…

Yeah that whole thing definitely felt forced. I guess you could put it down to how no one would have supported a black servant over a white one back then. Honestly though Agnes supporting Peggy the way she has, while admirable, also felt out of character compared to her attitude about everything else. All things being…

I’m sorry but I have a really hard time believing that Agnes, of all people, would be at all comfortable keeping on a maid that has a habit of reading other people’s private correspondence. I understand she doesn’t want to train a new maid at her age and the show needs Peggy to return to her family but COME ON.

Yes, Chapek, the content you produce very much does speak for itself. Like how you’ll have a movie where Unnamed Male in Coffee Shop #5 says: ‘I have a boyfriend.’ And that’s their only line and it has absolutely no effect on the rest of the movie so you can cut it from the Chinese/Singaporean releases without anyone…

I think companies have this weird attitude about anything vaguely “political” where they want to support diversity but also not alienate violently hateful people at the same time, so both groups keep giving them their money.

As a result, nobody wins and no definitive stance is taken.

I’m not sure I’d automatically think the crew would want extra hours. Wasn’t IATSE demanding limited or at least more reasonable work hours? As others have pointed out, working on a movie in a hot desert might not present the best working conditions and might necessitate more reasonable hours, despite premium wages…

I can tell you from experience as a crewmember: No. No, we would not want that.  We already work enough long ass hours and being forced to do so even more is not worth the overtime that we may not even get anyway.

The entire trend of videos that are “fuck with your pet by doing X” needs to die. Some of the things are harmless but all of them encourage the attitude that pets are entertainment instead of responsibility.

actually re-watching it, Chevy is kind of a jerk throughout. I realize they’re kind of trying to improvise humor, but his form of humor is all disparaging the show. “my famous friends say .... it’s improving.” and “oh yes i’m very happy. I’ve never had, uh, more time taken away from my life.” “i’m sure things will…

Chevy Chase basically does some version of this interview (link below) every few years, in part as a way to wonder aloud why he isn’t getting work. He also trots out that line, “I know who I am, I like who I am” and then wonders why that doesn’t fix everything. Why isn’t Chevy Chase getting work? Because there are…

Thing is, there are plenty of comedians who can play a smarmy asshole without actually being one.

To return the favor to all those who came before me:

I have no doubt that Chase had a miserable childhood. That’s been fairly well established. But dude seriously trots this out every time someone wants to talk about his also well-established pattern of being an unmitigated asshole. Dude, you’re 78 years old and rich and famous. Get yourself some therapy. At this point,…
