I think that’s how the latest Skull Island handled things if I remember correctly. The locals were both not hostile and were kind of a mixed bag. But it’s been a while and I could be misremembering how the natives were presented. 

I think there’s a simple fix to the issue and the valid points you raise about the role of the islanders in the story. Why do the islanders have to be dark-skinned? The racism inherent in the plot line is built on the idea that dark=savage. Undercut it by making them all white. The points you raise about their role in…

I feel like this series could really make good use of the new direction Randy Quaid’s life has taken. 

Lol...I absolutely love that the strange saga of Nestor now has a conspiracy angle involving multiple Nestor’s. It’s like when a sitcom character is replaced by a new actor as someone gets too old or demanding in their contract or has a falling out with the diva star of the show. Nestor is totally the new Aunt Viv. 

His confused but willing participation in Adam’s bad movies is the best thing about the show. 

Ok...I can maybe see him being saved by going hard at that kind of extra crazy stuff. 

Took away from D&D as well, since the paladin class could’ve been so much cooler if they were all skinny dudes with sick abs, swords, and healing spells instead of big guys in heavy armor with a stick up their asses about making sure you don’t shoplift. 

I was coming here to point out Dale is definitely an insurrection at or mass shooter by this point. Then you reminded me of Tom Petty’s awesome role as Lucky and I’m even more sad.

AVC classic. I believe it goes something like:

I think Judge likely saw a little “light” bigotry like refusing to call a Muslim convert by his Muslim name to be funny. I’m guessing if the show were still on, Hank might be expressing frustration that there are more than two pronouns now as well. I recall a horrible show Judge made in the early 00s maybe that was…

Nice explanation. It makes me think of Muhammad Ali. Some people struggled to stop calling him Cassius Clay out of habit and could be forgiven if they made an effort. Some chose to not stop because they thought their bigotry was more important than respect for his wishes and identity. 

Interesting. So by the symmetric property of douchebags, Carlson is Morgan without Morgan’s single likable characteristic. 

You can never go wrong thinking about Brian Dennehy. 

Lots of folks in the comments here trying to explain the joke. So, do they really believe the author doesn’t understand it? Or are they trying to mimic the tone of the article by pretending to explain to the person pretending to be confused? Am I pretending to be confused by their confusion? 

I’ve not seen a good Frank Stalloning in ages. Thank you for this. 

It’s the kind of thing that’s so on the nose you wouldn’t buy it in a piece of satire. Reality continues to put The Onion out of business. 

Plus as a bonus, a bunch of middle class or higher white insurrectionist conservatives  spending some time in prison is almost surely the single best way to get that demographic invested in the idea of prison reform. 

Yes, without a doubt. And Gaga will clearly sing the cover of the famous song. 

My hopes for a follow-up story, in order of priority: A) dog-walker recovers fully and sells a profitable movie deal out of this experience, B) dogs are recovered unharmed and returned home, C) Kevin Costner directs and stars in the movie about this event by framing it as a sequel to Bodyguard.

I love this comment on at least four distinct levels: the simplicity, the image of a down and out $0.50 walking dogs, the image of same half-dollar shrugging off more bullets as he goes about his duties and presumably finishes picking up after the dogs because he’s a professional above all else, and the use of Fitty.
