so his argument boils down to “I’m on the side of whoever directly or indirectly made me more money”? LOL

I’d love to understand why Americans in particular seem so susceptible to cults—Scientology, Nxivm, even Cult 45. Probably something to do with coping with the reality that we’re not all special snowflakes despite what we’ve been told for the last 50 odd years.

he was by far the best part of the last Thor movie.  I rarely cry at movies but a few of his scenes literally moved me that much.

LOL the parallels between Kanye and my dad are getting kinda weird now...when my mom finally had enough of his narcissistic bullshit and left he did the EXACT SAME SHIT to her that Kanye did to Kim...when my mom wasn’t with someone my dad would get maudlin like this, but when she made the mistake of having a boyfriend,…

more important for DOR, he is building up an impressive cadre of famous actors to act as apologists for his bullshit, like Bale, Deniro, Cooper, JLaw, and probably a bunch of others, meaning he will ultimately approach Woody Allen levels of obnoxiousness as he gets older.

I would call it the “Woody Allen rule” but arguably this guy makes better movies that also make money, so maybe the rule should be renamed in his honor? Either way he’s a piece of shit who gets a pass because he makes money. Think of how Mel Gibson has been able to revive his career despite being a psychotic…

I’m confused—have they confirmed unequivocally that she killed herself and not that one or more of these upstanding gentlemen killed her to hide their crime (sorry, “impropriety”)? Because that was the first thing I thought reading this but it was never alluded to more strongly. Too close to possible defamation for…

“you women need to calm down and don’t do anything irrational or you might end up doing something impetuous and regrettable like storming the state capitol” LOL

look, I *hope* the country is as pissed off as I was about Dobbs come November, but internally I’m already grimacing at the number of states that are gonna say “not us libtard, give us MORE laws that force womens’ heads into the metaphorical toilet until they learn to shut their mouths and do what men tell them to…

my personal theory, completely unsubstantiated and totally anecdotal (and based on personal experience), is that the “self esteem” movement of the 70's/80's created an unjustified sense of entitlement that the “real world” does not typically support unless you have something really special to offer.  It’s simplistic…

whenever I see Bautista in anything I am reminded of his literal rags to riches story and how genuinely grateful he seems for the chance James Gunn gave him to have a career, and to get to star in movies like these. Hopefully the movie is also a good vehicle for Bautista and Ron Weaseley, Shyamalan is a bit of a mixed…

also does appearances at those sad nostalgia shows with the remaining cast of the Love Boat 

those shows are probably literally twice as old as an AV Club writer LOL

came here just to say that, mainly because of the way they absolutely brutalized Isaac Hayes via Chef after killing off his character LOL.  I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see Hayes’s reaction to that show.

hey, Fox has flogged the Simpsons for like 62 seasons, so don’t get too mouthy or the “irascible kid cousin” they introduce will be Bart Simpson LOL

whenever I watch Bob’s Burgers I am almost always impressed by how funny and smart it is, but for some reason it just isn’t “must see” viewing to me, and I don’t know why, it ticks all the boxes for a show I’d religiously watch like Archer (even the main characters are voiced by the same guy LOL).

I guess I know who’s being deleted from someone’s Spotify playlist LOL.

unexpected and good but as unexpected and good as crow-barring Billy Eichner pitching Bros into the NFL pre-game show LOL.

correlation does not equal causation LOL

guess it’s just a big coincidence how much she resembles Amy Coney Barrett...
