ITT: People defending a multi-billion dollar corporation from some mean tweets. 

Fuck, as someone who’s been reading The A.V. Club since it was in goddamn print in the early ‘90s, that site being wiped out as part of this colossal circus of mismanagement would hurt me in a very serious place. The quality of the work there has gone down the tubes in the past year, but it - and its community - have…

Sorry, I’ve been shitting on the prequels since I saw The Phantom Menace in theaters SEVEN TIMES in an effort to convince myself I actually liked it. Even if the sequels never existed, I would shit on them, because they are, to my mind, the horrible, lifeless children of an ego run amok with no one to challenge its…

Hard disagree on that one. 

Mmm, yes, because the three movies that came out just prior to the Disney acquisition were triumphs of the cinema. 

My favorite is how carried away the announcer gets - he ends up calling it a “triple reverse.” I’m not quite sure the math on that one. 

Thumbs up for the late bloomers - I didn’t start smoking pot until I was 33. And I owe it all to this scene from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

It doesn’t mean it has a different point, but it does mean that it muddles things badly enough that the message delivered is not the one it intends, which I, personally, feel is very much the case, here. 

It *wants* to be about mental health and class struggle, but botches the job so incredibly that it actually requires the main character to come out and speak the thesis statement of the film near the end, because actually portraying it cinematically is too challenging, apparently. 

That’s fair. It seemed like you were making blanket statements in your first post, which is what I was responding to. But I appreciate what you’re saying. 

No offense, but this is horseshit.

I agree with you in general, but the season with Alfonso Ribeiro was fun to watch, even if it was kind of a cheat given his dance background.

I’ll throw my favorite minimum-wage job in the mix: Clerk at the local video store, back before Blockbuster bought everything and there were still independent chains. We could have any movie on during the day that was PG-13 or lighter, so I watched movies all day. The store was usually pretty empty except for a couple…

LEBRON JAMES: I choose me.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again state for the record that Zack Snyder’s Watchmen is an abomination.

Big Thief just released their second great album of 2019, and tore it up on Colbert last night.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THERE’S A NEW ELBOW ALBUM ZOMG.

THIS. Yes, OP is right, there are probably a lot more “good” cops than “bad” cops. But, whenever one of the “bad” cops does something, you know, bad, it’s a blue wall of silence from all the “good” ones, with none of them holding their “bad” colleagues accountable...which, ultimately, makes you wonder if they should…

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute, man. I want to come back inside, understand? Now, I’m alright. And I won’t harm anyone. Now, you gotta let me come back inside!

Yay, an excuse to post this!
