Riverbottom Nightmare Band or GTFO

Please die, already, Internet.

You know, you’ve done a lot of swearing and a lot of “fuck this” and “fuck that,” but you’ve yet to offer up any resembling a suggestion or idea better than the one you’ve shit all over.

In response, let me just put out there - and I’m only saying this because I care - that there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

OK, so, candidate roll call? Who could possibly follow Trebek?

JESUS CHRIST WHO CARES???

Hey, it’s that kid who played Ethan Shaw in my favorite movie about assholes at an EDM festival, XOXO, as Prince Eric!

But, the difference is, Eddie Murphy has already gotten out in front of that. He’s reflected. He has come out and said that his past jokes along those lines make him cringe, and that they were coming from a place of callow youth and a particular bad spot that he was going through, personally, at the time.

I really, really want someone to ask him about the use of “Rock n Roll: Part 2" in the film, and the reasoning behind his decision to put money in the pocket of a convicted pedophile and child rapist.

Discovering you are no longer relevant is a hard thing for us middle-aged dudes. Some handle it better than others. 

Too soon.

But there will be journalism, and there will be writing because there will be reading.

The movie sounds to me like it’s a demonization of the mentally ill for their Satan-given (nearly) superpowers of villainy.

The name “Batman?” No. But the Waynes are in the film. 

OK, I’ve now seen this. My thoughts:

Here’s the thing: I think what the movie set out to say - that a capitalist society skewed toward the super-rich leads to an increasing swell of folks marginalized, under-cared-for, underserved, and just generally shat on, and that such a societal environment is potentially a powderkeg both for individuals and for…

Jason Todd, is that you?

Oh, my god, what a chode.

But now that we’re learning who, exactly, will play the Superflu survivors, excitement’s cooled off a bit.

Just when it seemed like organized religion was losing its grip on a generation, we’re going to end up with a bunch of ride-or-die Kanye stans embracing evangelical Christianity rather than admit that their god-emperor might not be worth fellating, any more.
