“But he is a professor of political communication and should know better.”

He should know better than to do nothing wrong?

OK. 

“Someone, please make this stop!”

WHY? 

Gee, maybe that’s the fucking point.

Who said it wouldn’t be self-aware?

“A hallmark of bad lazy writing is when the story line hinges around “And then they pulled out guns”.”

The hallmark of bad criticism is pretending that one action destroys a story. 

“No, that movie wasn’t good.”

Exactly. It was excellent.

“The rest of us think you are the self-absorbed generation..”

Thanks for clearing that up.

“but I couldn’t stand trying to justify his behavior after that.”

Why do you need to justify his behaviour? 

“I think the implication is that it was nasty because the person giving the “advice” was a person who was in a position to give her such a role”

I don’t think that’s implied at all. 

It’s like the Watchmen adaptation. They took some scenes and faithfully recreated them but either didn’t get or simply didn’t care about the characters or the story.

As for Pennywise? Tim Curry was WAY scarier as a basically normal-looking clown. Skarsgaard is fine, but the character design is so over the top and…

“Even more so than Finn Wolfhard did as a young Richie in Chapter One, Hader picks up the whole movie, puts it in his pocket, and walks away with it.”

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Finn Wolfhard walked away with the first movie? Young Richie was maybe the most obnoxious, annoying, punchable characters in the history of film. 

Yeah, he sounds like a real jerk. I mean, what kind of unbelievable piece of shit douchebag would ever post something about someone else’s pills?

OH. That wasn’t Renner who was the unbelievable piece of shit douchebag.

“It’s difficult to throw a rock without hitting a famous person who’s appeared in a Marvel movie...Even her former Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson is suiting up to become our next Batman”

Batman isn’t a Marvel character. 

Is there a single attempt to build any character other than Bev?

“But my guess is that the video is best seen as, uh, a symbolic reenactment.”

So. Fucking. What? 

“How times have changed!”

Did he just discover, for the first time in his life, that what people say to your face might be different from what they say when you aren’t around? 

Sure.

“Or the 25th anniversary of the actual TV phenomenon of 1994, ER?”

Probably because ER was never, EVER anything close to the phenomenon that Friends was?

“just like on Seinfeld, all the characters are basically selfish assholes.”

I think you mean “just like TV sitcoms from the beginning of the medium”.
