You said that perfectly. I haven’t seen a Tom Cruise movie since Eyes Wide Shut and had avoided this one until DTV sent us a “free movie rental on us” email. So we joined the masses and watched it the other night. Very enjoyable lightweight fare where we all knew exactly how it was going to end. Tom Cruise is always…

I think the average recruitment age boy who watches this is going to focus on all the rad shit Maverick and his crew get to engage in, while seeing that if you’re badass enough the pencil pushers don’t actually matter.

“Kid, I don’t really understand this whole ‘laundromat’ thing you’re trying to tell me about, but if opening one is what you want to do, go for it.”

I rewatched in a few weeks ago and this is more or less where I’d stick it too.

James Cameron is not going to have sex with you, AV Club. Although I can't fault you for trying, he's sexy and rich. 

Yeah, he’s cartoonish by design and it’s great. 

Daniel Day Lewis could come out of retirement to give the best performance of his life in an MCU film and he wouldn’t get nominated.

I didn’t expect to agree with Letitia Wright today, but that comparison *is* pretty fucked.

This aspect should be focused on more. 

Someone was definitely cackling when they grabbed Minority Report and last Crusade and moved them down the list.

drives engagement by having folks argue in the comments, plus they don’t get paid enough to write pieces with any kind of research involved

I don’t care if this comment is 100% factual, or a complete lie. It’s perfect. 

This is exactly what I’ve always thought: Chappelle sees himself as the gold medal winner of the suffering olympics so he has a “right” to punch down as much as he wants. He actually said in his last special that trans people should stop picking on him.

I assume that other Trek cast members weren’t so much bringing up old stuff for publicity as being asked, “So I hear Shatner was an asshole on the show. Is that true?” and answering, “Yes.”

Well said!

I think this is exactly it. Although, and I’m speaking as a Black man, a lot of Black people have long held beliefs or believed conspiracy theories about Jewish control or pulling the strings behind the scenes. I never got why but its always there.

No one needs to be told why they’re less disadvantaged bc there’s people out there who aren’t. You can acknowledge both when there’s a time & place for them. That’s like saying I’m depressed but there’s people with terrible lives in the world and my depression is less depressed/of value than others. You don’t ever…

It’s not clear to me that he even thinks they should stop complaining. Even when he says it as bluntly as “they should stop complaining” it’s hard for me to read his protest as sincere. What is clear is that he will take those complaints as an occasion to use the comparative device you have described to make fun of…

95% sure he was filming Nope when Black Panther 2 was filming. he made the right choice, I mean, Nope is the best film I’ve seen all year
