I used to like a standing O, but I’m too old for that now. My knees can’t take it.

Remember when you all used to actually send critics to review movies at Cannes instead of reporting second-hand on this claps bullshit?

Avengers Endgame got a long standing ovation in the theater where I watched. Someone tell Scorsese.

They are basically accusing her of bias because she has an opinion on a bill. Which means noone can vote on anything any longer, unless you’ve never read it, don’t understand it and don’t care.

They get more clicks on YouTube. 

There is absolutely no basis in the law for any decision invalidating the FDA approval. These plaintiffs do not have standing. The FDA’s approval was fully within its statutory authority and complied with all legal obligations.

Let’s just throw conservative dicks under the bus.  

So queer people can’t be emotionally abusive? I actually liked a queer emotionally abusive individual because it made them a person versus an archetype. It normalizes the lifestyle which makes being queer normal - as it should be. 

Are queer characters supposed to be immune against being flawed? If anything the trope is that lesbians are portrayed as completely saintly. Then TV shows run out of ideas and make them into literal saints by killing them off.

Let me just politely point out that the Five Families went crazy when just one member tried to kill a district attorney.  Dutch Schulz tried to have Thomas Dewey killed and the families had Schultz killed because they felt it would draw too much attention.  Yeah... these guys killed a US president... right.  Its…

Does it make you think, though?  Did you think before writing this?

Involuntary hospitalizations seem like a necessary evil to me at this point. For instance, a friend I’ve known since literally first grade has always had mental problems and his divorce followed by Covid kicked them into high gear. He lost all of the places he could live, he lost numerous jobs and is basically…

Making the staff write relentlessly about the writers’ strike is probably the most ironic and lousy thing the unionbusting bosses at the AVClub have done.

If fascists like something, it must be bad! This is why I no longer breathe, eat food, or use my eyes to look at things.

Thanks for that reminder, could not for the life of me remember it myself. “Vent” was standard for WoW raids back in the day.

There was a joke in my friends group about a decade ago, about taking Gundam anime, and just adding the Ventrilo push to talk sound to conversations taking place between mech pilots in different mechs.

I had to Google the name Ventrilo, because it had lapsed entirely from my brain by this point.

Certainly no one should have looked at the body shapes of 80s actors for inspiration. Those people were all on cocaine.

Who needs sweet, SWEET validation when you already have that sweet, SWEET Laurel Canyon sound?

I especially love sand that is coarse and gets everywhere.

Technology evolves, for good and bad, in video games as well as everything else.
