The “he’s so brave!” stuff is more a reaction to the stupid-wing idiots like Owens and Shapiro using it to whine about “traditional masculinity” and generally shriek about nothing. And your post can be equally aimed at them.

Eh, I don’t know that I want most of those folks to be more productive - don’t think I’d like the missions they’d put their energy towards.  

You’d have a point if this wasn’t in reaction to right wingers screeching about manliness the first time he dared to dress a way they thought was inappropriate. But it was, so you don’t. 

There’s nothing that screams manliness or alpha male like Ben Shapiro’s voice and lack of knowledge of how vaginas work. 

I’ve always like Eddie Izzard’s take on it: “They’re not women’s clothes, they’re my clothes. I own them.”

When you use a dinosaur to kill a king it’s called Tyrannicide Rex

No, that’s when you use a tyrannosaurus to kill someone.

The release strategy and how it matches the cultural moment, as stated.

It blows my mind that we still haven’t gotten word from Netflix that a sequel has been officially greenlit. I keep telling myself it’s because they’re planning multiple spin-offs, including a prequel miniseries focusing slowly on the decades-long slowburn of Yusuf and Nicolo’s enemies-to-friends-to-lovers saga during…

This was a really fun movie, but what kicked it up a notch for me was that there were a couple major points where I was sure what story beats we were going to get, but things got subverted - for starters, I was sure Andy would die, setting up Nile to pick up where she left off in a sequel that wouldn’t have to budget…

I will never reject a NYC comedian who will even occasionally riff on how up its own ass NYC is.

Counterpoint: I find the man delightful.

To each their own but he is arguably one of the best standups and writers of the past 3-5 years. His timing and delivery defy his age. Between his comedy specials and his Broadway show and the stellar SNL appearances, I doubt he is going anywhere. As to his ego, if you watched his stand-up specials, you’d know that…

You seen his actual standup?

Oh yeah there was straight up tension/resentment/envy. He even tells Nicky and Joe (when they’re caught) that they didn’t understand the pain and loneliness because they had each other over the centuries.

Did anyone else wonder if there was some resentment from Booker towards Nicky and Josef? Because of who they are, these two have found truly eternal love (or as long as their powers last) and can keep that happiness going, but Booker has just had to keep losing people who come to hate him because he’ll live while they…

I read in a review about the film version of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions that when a book is described as “unfilmable”, it shouldn’t be taken as a challenge.

My five year old saw the Clifford cartoon for the first time the other day and turned to me and said “His poop must be HUGE!!!”

It does...just usually on the inside, not outside.

The use of slow motion in the neutering scene seemed a bit gratuitous
