Donald Glover is an incredibly talented writer and showrunner, but I think we as a nation need to come together and admit that Childish Gambino kind of sucks. That was the initial assessment, and unfortunately it holds true. 

He’s a presentable, acceptable face of Silicon Valley, as well as of the weird nerds the mainstream is led to believe are more and more important to society every day.

The original show did that pretty regularly; you’d cut between their elaborate fantasy world and the reality of a couple of extraordinarily ugly unsupervised toddlers preparing to jam their tongues into an electrical outlet.

It’s endlessly frustrating to see that things that can actually help people are still sidelined because it’s so much easier to make a “fix” that maybe targets one facet of a problem but still does nothing to tackle the underlying issues. Makes me think of how often we in queer communities put forward a list of stuff

yes, I had to enter rehab during covid. But really the government should be allocating resources to harm reduction. People keep using over doses as an argument that covid restrictions should be decreased, when in reality access to substance services should be increased.

What, am I supposed to do it with someone else’s? Come on!

i think there’s a lot of mainstream distaste for him now, but in 2013-2015 was definitely the peak of ‘oh maybe this guy is cool’...and frankly there are a lot of people still stuck in a 2013-2015 mindset, himself included.

I’m in recovery for cocaine as well, it’s hard because it can be very easy to hide if you fall off the horse at first until it’s not, so I’m always pretty transparent to people around me that recovery isn’t linear and that abstinence isn’t the goal for everyone even if that’s what works for me. I still sometimes have

I got my ticket. I’m not taking it as a good sign that has clearly been rolled and used to snort cocaine.

What surprises me is how little mainstream distaste for him there seems to be.

It’s my favorite ‘70s NYC crime drama, topping The French Connection, Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico. Great ending (atchoo!).

I was wondering this, too. She had nice things to say about him in her memoir.

I love this movie. It’s like a who’s who of reliable character actors in supporting roles; Hector Elizondo, Jerry Stiller, Martin Balsam, Dick O’Neil, Doris Roberts, Tony Roberts, Earl Hindman and Julius Harris.

I just watched it again a month ago and I still get really engaged with it even after watching it so many times.

It’s called cashing out.  That’s it.

That last sentence is exactly the thing, isn’t it? Rory isn’t really that great a person, and while she THINKS she’s supposed to be with someone like Jess, Logan would give her the life she actually really wanted. I assume once she reached her 30s she’d finally admit it.

It’s a wonderful movie that is strangely overlooked these days. It’s full of absolutely great faces. Not pretty faces, but interesting faces with character.

Didn’t Patterson and Graham famously not get along?  Do you think she’ll show up on the podcast?

God damn right. One thing I noticed last rewatch is how the subway characters don’t have names in the credits, just descriptions (The Old Man, The Spanish Woman, The Pimp, etc. -- basically how you would describe them if you were riding the subway with them) but they all feel like real people with lives behind them

feckin great movie
