But he’s the President!

I liked Pauline Kael.

She was a great writer.

What got Bill Cosby “into trouble” was drugging and raping women.

To repeat my stance from the other post: Where you draw the line is both personal and tells the world about the sort of person you are. You got choose wisely.

I admit that Kanye, R. Kelly, and Chris Brown all making terrible music makes it easier to draw that line.

Does Rocket make lots of quips while Hulk smashes shit out of everything? That’s all I care about really, I’m a simple soul.

Jenna’s been on the whole season I swear. She had one confessional about the perils of having bitchface (or something like that). At least I think that was her.

I wish…

Holy smokes did Gawker Media + Kinja perform a double team destruction of AV Club. Claiming a canceraids-inducing “first” isn’t even fun anymore. Where did everyone go to discuss my favorite shows?

You are a hero. He deserves it, not because of him pushing his way to the front (common practice at a concert), but fuck loud talkers.

Some dickweed did this to me at a concert last year. I’d gotten there 3 hours early to get great GA seats, and then an hour into the show he and his girlfriend pushed their way to the front and started fucking talking loudly for the rest of the night. I was furious, and while I’m only like 75% proud to admit this, at…
