I haven’t seen the movie yet, but have read the book. A bunch of pages are dedicated to Hoover’s efforts in Washington to consolidate power under the nascent FBI, which it sounds like the movie largely skips.

The sentence is technically correct.  You can not deny that he is, in fact, a storyteller.

A lack of editors means mistakes like this undeniable. 

Congrats on the dumbest reply so far!

That’s not what the word “mediocre” means. Strange that you’re so upset about it but never bothered to look up the definition.

“Mediocre” has always been an insult, numbnuts. 

The best critique of South Park and one that’s come the closest to explaining why it rubs me the wrong way is that they always take the side of “not caring”. The end result is always that caring about anything is dumb and “both sides” are bad if either of them actually care.

It was added to the list years ago.

Listen, if anyone can be trusted to deliver a script about media pandering, it’s South Park, the ancient franchise that’s been pandering nonstop to mediocre edgy white dudebros for a quarter century.

Can we finally add South Park to the list of overly long running adult animated shows that need to die already?

Hot take: with the exception of “Say It Ain’t So,” nothing Weezer has ever recorded qualifies as a very good song. Or even a good song, honestly. I tend to think that if Rivers Cuomo hadn’t gone to Harvard and didn’t wear chunky glasses, nobody would have known who the heck they were.

Man, i used to watch Maher every week, but it just kept getting worse and worse I just had to stop. He really emerged as his truest self after he got Covid, and since he personally didn’t get it that bad, immediately took the stance that everyone was overreacting and it was stupid that he couldn’t have a full studio…

I cannot begin to fathom your comment. Whether or not Stern showed his first wife the love and attention he shows his second, what does that have to do with married men who act superior to unmarried men?

Honestly, listening to modern era Howard really does confirm for me that the way he was portrayed (yes, by himself, I know, as both a writer and actor) in Private Parts was probably pretty damned accurate. He was playing a character, or at least a heightened version of himself, for ratings. Then he became the King of…

I have never, and will never, understand how “woke” and “social justice warrior” are used by a certain segment of the population as insults or something to be ashamed of. For woke because those people use it as a blanket for anything that’s even MILDLY liberal/open-minded, and for SJW because... why the fuck wouldn’t…

i always found he had a sweetness and humanity behind the edgelord crap, it’s just that you needed to listen to hours of him to get there. he’s also, deep down, a colossal nerd.

absolutely, far and away, one of the weirdest things i’ve ever heard.

Yeah, like “don’t let people know that you’re enjoying your life” is weird as hell.

Bill Maher is a dick. He was never a liberal. Seeing how he just barely got scared off from being a scab is more evidence of his unprogressive ways. A real progressive never would have even floated the idea of crossing a picket line. He just seems good at pissing everyone off.
