Yup. “I am in no way aligned or affiliated with The Daily Wire.”  Cool, noted.  Congrats on getting your film distributed, though.

When I was a kid I became obsessed with the JFK assassination, largely as a result of Stone’s film. As I got a little older and a little wiser and realized most of the film is bullshit, I still kept coming back to Sutherland’s Mr. X monologue. It, too, is largely bullshit, but Sutherland is just so damn good…

“What Pixar movies attempt to say anything whatsoever, no matter how subtle or metaphorical, about Cheeto/the MAGA movement?”

Depends on age. I nearly already had my doctorate when Toy Story csme out (yes, I’m in my 50s, which makes me solidly GenX rather than boomer before the obvious retort). I bring this up because this is exactly what some people claim when people criticize modern Simpsons -- that we were just biased due to being kids at…

I’m just not convinced there were ever enough target customers to financially sustain the hotel long-term.

Although that’s basically every decent children’s show. Seasame Street was doing that 50 years ago.

True, but it’s also the case that bad people hating a show does not make the show good or worth defending.  MAGA dipshits hate stubbing their toes -- that does not means you should smash your toes into walls.

What’s the deeeaaal with the AV Club?

Barnie and Oppenheimer.

Snark is so 2005. Your audience has grown up, AVClub, maybe you should too.

I feel like the things Seinfeld is saying in the interview are pretty perceptive. Schimkowitz even seems to largely agree with much of it. So why be so pissy about it all?

Does Gina Carano strangle homeless people on the weekend? Is Gina Carano secretly molesting illegal immigrants in the secret steam room underneath her survival bunker? Why aren’t we talking about Gina Carano’s roid-rage violent outbursts in nursing homes across the state of California?

I can relate. I had a job where I had to wear a demeaning outfit intended to strip away all self-esteem and respect too. It was a McDonalds uniform.

my best recollection of the situation is that we woke up one day and were supposed to hate her. not sure why.

The thing is, for those with memories longer than 5 seconds, they remember *why* the Arab neighboring countries don’t want Palestinians.

I mean, Barsanti is a widely-disliked character whose story arc has already reached its natural conclusion years ago, and still been inexplicably kept around in spite of that. TV shows are run very differently than rapidly declining pop culture blogs, though.

Wasting perfectly good mustard and onions like that is very on brand for Ohio.

This is a side effect of the left claiming that “context doesn’t matter” anymore for the better part of a decade. 

I like how we still pretend in 2024 that public figures don't pay people to write clever things on the internet for them.

This essay is the reason why the acronym TL;DR was invented...
