Pugh was so good in Lady Macbeth. It’s a little sad to see her sell out to Marvel already. But if Cate Blanchett did it, I suppose there’s no one who’s really above it anymore.

Excellent advice.

Fleabag Season 2. The first episode just aired. She’s a goddam genius. 

Shame on you all.

Smart boy, going for full denial. Only thing to do in a case like this.

So as I figure it: Lacking a clear front runner, the Academy decided it would pander to the black community by voting for a black-centric film. That’s fine. Been done before. But why in God’s name would they pick the one black movie that black people seem to hate?

This was the inevitable fate of the Oscars. Neutered and pandering. 

So Randall, now that this is all out, is The AV Club going to apologize for its grossly biased coverage of this story?

I am weeping with delight. This is my favourite story of the year.

I was taken aback by how much hate there was for this show. I didn’t think it was perfect, but it was perfectly watchable. I’m guessing it was put on some kind of a left-wing shit-list at some point, and I didn’t get the memo...

This is Christmas.

I think this kid’s my new goddam hero.

This is like Christmas.

Old news, Bill. This was being written about by all the serious news outlets last week. You know, back when you were refusing to acknowledge it?

I’m going to express my disapproval the same way I’ve been doing for the last ten years or so:

There’s only one fitting end for Barsanti.

This is some compelling material, Sam.

I’m very curious why the AV Club has made no mention of the fact that Smolletts’ claims are under heavy scrutiny by the police.

Strange I couldn’t find this cross-posted on The Root.

Word of the Day: Funambulism.
