I think part of the reason why his “comeback” material was so aggressive was because his open letter, which was more reflective and remorseful than any other response from a man accused of misconduct, was basically dismissed out of hand. I think his letter was earnest, but when the response was “fuck you, not good…

All that is true, but my 65", 5.1 surround setup still isn’t as good as a theater.

You have a right to your opinion. This is even an opinion I share. But I also recognize that there are plenty of people for which this isn’t true, for a variety of reasons. They don’t love it the way we do. They may have less disposable…

“The premise of Severance is not good enough for a 9-episode, multi-season series, folks. It should have been a movie released in theaters.”

Eh, whatever. For all that the right wants to whine and wail and rend garments over “wokism” or “cancel culture,” it makes no fucking sense for the left to respond by doing the same dumb shit when a wannabe “edgy” comedian does a stand-up special with jokes of a “wimmin’ be SHOPPIN’” vintage.

They refuse to acknowledge that they’re out of touch with the electorate.

I’ll try again:

It’s infuriating how smug and condescending you are with your contrarian clickbait takes. I surmise you know exactly the response people have, and you aim for it. I don’t even know if you’re serious or not with the many eye-rolling opinions you’ve expressed.

I actually liked Dial of Destiny a lot more than I was expecting, but I do have two major issues with it:

Fixed that ranking for you.

What a weird tearing apart of what is ultimately a harmless movie.

Seeing musicians I like do it really well live is basically the biggest hit of positive emotion I get as an adult, I don’t cry but I don’t blame her for crying.

Boy this sentence went on safari...

It’s at times like this I remember what my grandmother said to me and my wife at our wedding. “The Academy Awards don’t exist to award achievement in film making. It exists to make the industry that has a stranglehold on film making look legitimate and important.”

Me enter discussion!

a gender binary that doesn’t really fit with today’s world, where most understand gender expression as existing on a spectrum rather than fixed binaries

Anyone who uses the term “TDS” unironically is not a serious person. An idiot, if you will. 

That’s ok, bucko, you obviously have missed some things but that’s ok because you’re just a lil guy! Hopefully when you grow up you’ll understand what’s going on. For now, you’ll probably want to stop talking about grown up stuff and focus on coloring inside the lines.

It might be a kind of boring reflection of reality but there literally are people trying to shoot up pizza parlors and goddamn actual Nazis out there who think others shouldn’t have rights because of their skin color.  It might be lazy but it’s nothing like ‘TDS’.

Obviously, this is bad behavior. But the AV Club should do more to put it in context.

I enjoyed this movie for about 2/3rds of its length, even though most of the middle is devoted to just the romance between the two (very sexy leads) and the story (what little there was) dragged a bit.
