No! It’s baffling! Baffling, I tell you, that a famous award-winning actor would be a hot property for a decade!!

Suggesting that Russell Crowe is also still perplexed about that period in Hollywood history—stretching from 1997 up through, let’s say, 2007's Cinderella Man—when studio executives were inordinately horny for Russell Crowe

Is it that hard to perceive the difference between relatively harmless playful arrogance deriving from being really goddamn good at a competitive thing and being aggressively shitty, hateful, and harmful? The USWNT might be the former but Trump is the latter.

1. I think she objects more to the fact that Trump is doing his damndest to roll back protections on LBGTQ people, endorsing the caging of children, and willfully steering us into the climate catastrophe we are already heading towards rather than “being a buffoon”.

Really?! That’s your thought process? A supremely talented athlete celebrating her efforts is the same as official state business. Maybe if she opens some brown people concentration camps, you’ll be in the same neighborhood as a legitimate point.

He spends 7/8ths of the review describing how lame its comedy is, then he closes with that. 

I honestly don’t understand what happened to sportsmanship. You know, like, not being an asshole? It seems totally lost, and yeah, K seems to love promoting the lack of it.

Except that the GIF for the article is literally the dude getting in the other dude’s face:

So I appreciate the Kotaku is questioning these situations, but it doesn’t help your case when immediately following the article there are “recommended” examples of Kotaku openly glorifying these “pop offs”. Like maybe we stop celebrating these?

“some V.A. type nightmare”

Always wanted to try Inside, and I already own Symphony of the Night for the 360. I’ve played this game through at least twice and still think it is the best Castlevania game.

His evil sneer was good in just about everything, but Drago was great as the main villain in The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

No mention of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.? And you call yourselves a pop culture site!

It’s like Macklemore and Billy Idol walked into the Brundle teleporter.

Don’t forget that he’s also an anti-Semite and a sexist douche.

That’s addressed in the article: A large portion of that vault wasn’t fully digitized. There’s unreleased music in those vaults that will now never see the light of day, and older records that haven’t been reissued in decades because UMG didn’t think they were marketable.

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

We all knew it was (effectively) done when that finale aired.

I’m still jonesing for more.

All in all, a fairly decent episode. I’m still grading this show on a curve, hoping it becomes really great by season 3 (like TNG)
