Speaking of Hanoi Jane, the Marine guy who spoke of her last night really explained something for me that I had never understood...why Jane Fonda is so uniquely vilified for her (relatively minor) criticism of the Vietnam War — yes, I know she was involved in some broadcast from Hanoi, but as the doc pointed out, so…

In this age of pervasive digital media preservation, nothing thrills me more than the fact that the ghosts of Megyn’s past shall haunt her until she slinks back into the troglodyte ether from whence she came.
I love how hard Megyn Kelly is tanking now that she’s out of her comfort zone of spewing lies and propaganda
Maybe he was just “presenting”to a potential mate the way baboons do?
Trump once attempted a to recreate that scene from Valkyrie.
That the woman with the greatest solo catalog in music history had her career abruptly ended while this barely talented white dude continued on unabated will never cease to make me angry.
Remember that time that Tim Allen got busted for drunk driving?
Exactly.
The most frustrating thing is this bitch knows exactly why they are taking a knee and she knows the symbolism behind this act. She’s not fucking stupid. She’s not like the inbred motherfucking idiots that I encounter online who just can’t wrap their feeble fucking minds around this. She KNOWS. And she’s feigning…
Fans are fine. Fans allow talented people to put on concerts, exhibits, films and sporting events so that we can all enjoy the entertainment. What sucks is that 10% of self-appointed, self-righteous Superfans who lives and die with Rick and Morty, or the New York Giants, or Taylor Swift at the expense of actually…
Sure. You can do whatever the hell you want with art on your end. I certainly have relationships with lots of works that are very different from what their creators intended. What you don’t get to do is browbeat artists into making the kind of art you want. You get to decide if you want it when it’s done. You don’t…
Seriously as a comic book fan it can be so infuriating at times the things people will not just give into suspension of disbelief with. Robots time travel and complete disregard for continuity fine, make spider man black screaming and forming a lynch mob.
The best explanation I heard was this. So many of these guys are the basement dwelling stereotypes you read about, the ones who can’t get a date. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s because they like comics and SF and fantasy and nerdy things that girls don’t get. Now, with more and more women becoming fans and…
That’s the point of trolling. They get to hide their horrible opinions behind their keyboard. They don’t have to face the consequences, except online.
Rick and Morty does that interesting thing that dime novels and gangster movies used to do - it condemns its mostly reprehensible central character all the time, but also allows viewers to revel in and tacitly celebrate their transgressive, anti-social qualities. (Lots of pop culture does it, then and now). But…
I’ve been saying this for years: Fuck fans. You don’t own shit, you didn’t do shit, you’re just a customer. You don’t like the product anymore, go shop somewhere else. You’re not entitled to a goddamn thing.
And the only thing I can say is if you’re lucky enough to make a show that is really good that people like, that means some bad people are going to like it too.
Hollywood (and the Entertainment-Industrial Complex in general) has been throwing money at talentless-but-famous/connected hacks for generations. Social media has just created a new pipeline.
