I can’t help but think the whole “all comics embellish the truth” defense is letting him, and frankly comics, off to easy, but maybe I’m primed by these times of emotional truths leading the way. It’s more or less the modern comic mode, to be “truthtellers”, but Minhaj’s brand is very tied to it. I’ve never liked his

Popularity is a great defense—if not a legitimate one—but I would say that Minhaj is a celebrity field much greater than Sedaris so I dunno about the comparison here. I mean, I think Sedaris deserved more flak, even without knowing as many details as you (yikes says I), but Sedaris’s fame is small potatoes compared to

Not that she can’t continue said career if she wanted to, the artists cited in this version of sales are all mature (not expecting growth in their fame) in their careers, and these are big enough payouts that they could do a lot else.

Thank god there are no trans Black people, because then what would Dave do?

Headlines which are wildly praised for their storytelling and never ever criticized.

I feel like he stepped away from the public eye in a reasonable fashion—and unlike most caught for repeated bad behavior, one can read what his accusers think of him on their website (https://somanyofus.com/). Even with that said though, coverage of this show has always been light about Ellis. Both in crediting his

You think so? I’ve always found it kind of mean—in a way that called out the rest of the movie. If we’re going to be judgmental enough to mock someone being a tourist like that, why extend look to the two leads who are not engaging anyone and just be sympathetic? The scenes with Anna Farris have always highlighted to

No “This is America”? I feel like that fact that so many people saw it and talked about it way past the moment of music videos even being particularily relevant counts in its favor.

I probably won’t rewatch. I think it’s probably still a pretty good movie that I don’t like. For me it’s always been its tourist/Orientalism. It matches the pov of the leads is one argument, though I’d say I’m not sure they’re that aware, and the movie’s utilizing of it is the more important issue. It’s always been so

I’m not a fan of these letters of support, but the relationship you describe with your coworker doesn’t sound very comparable to the multi-decade ties that are being described here.

I think an undercommented part of the MCU is how it’s almost entirely built on cherrypicking the best storylines of the comics—often wholesale and at least as inspiration—even the most original of the cinematic products like Wandavision have obvious comic DNA. All of which is to say, continuity bloat is a problem in

Hmm, I know it may be an individual thing that the Equalizer’s “sadistic retribution” sthick isn’t something to be excited about, having both Equalizers listed seems unnecessary even disragrding my personal taste.

A much appreciated comment. Discussion here rarely thinks of business basics, let alone cash flow—either from commenters or article writers. Generally, everything is thought of only from the consumer point of view, and in broad strokes, that’s fine, but it tends to stunt analysis.

Is there any information about how the game developers are paid for games that are available or featured through these services? Something more in depth than a speculative Sony keeps it all and screw them, and so on. It’s not like movies or tv—probably because individual games/product take longer to consume—things are

See, that’s why David Lynch was the better pick. That’s the kinda thing he answered--assuming the navigator is a hint at the wormness of it all.

I don’t think they’ve had the cultural impact of Training Day, but they’re solid. And I’m fed clips of Fury in particular once in a while, but that may be the internet and it’s algorithms. End of Watch is the more rounded one, Fury is straightahead war story.

End of Watch and Fury seem to have legs...

I role-played it out and thought, I don’t trust the space racist to lead a mission, so Kaiden, bland or no (he was fine to me), was sent and died a hero. 

The Rock.

In a travel show about the places themselves? Yeah. Otherwise, I know this is spoken of in admiration in this article even, stick to a board game.
