In a world with WAY too many franchises, there are still (apparently) people who are surprised to learn there will be another movie.

I talk to dogs and cats. That example seems like the least weird line among that very long video. But even if “average” people like me speak that way, it doesn’t belong in a movie. It all comes off as too plain and boring. Superheroes and supervillains should be more exciting than that! Show me something captivating.

That very long clip of awkward scripted lines has no mention of women or gender or femininity or any of what you say. It’s purely source material.

Thank you for sharing the distinctions. That’s exactly what I’m getting at. There are many kinds of sentences that can “punish” a person without necessarily sending them to a prison cell that requires housing, food, etc. There are people here on this website who don’t understand that very basic thing. 

Also, almost every leap year is an election year. (The exception is another little glitch that we introduce every 100 years.)

Maybe we don’t need to hear clips of this one particular song, but I do think more outlets should be covering the weird way that these reality/competition shows play a role in “laundering” dirty politicians. (Sean Spicer also comes to mind.) If the piece were more expansive, that would be beneficial, don’t you think?…

Where did I say that he should be stuffed into a cell that’s already beyond capacity? You set it up as a strawman (one that I never said) so that you could attempt to dismiss every other thing that I actually did say. Lame. There are many, many other options other than the dumb thing you assume I said.

“Halls, a film veteran, took a plea deal last year on a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon, and has already fulfilled his six months of unsupervised probation”

He shouldn’t have been allowed to resign. Now, and for the rest of his career, he can say that he willingly chose to leave a job. He can say he “wanted to spend time with family” or whatever else.

The headline to this story should have been the cops shout: “I’m hit! I’m hit!” Twice he claimed that the bullets actually penetrated his skin.

Nobody becomes a medical doctor primarily because their parents are already doctors. We have layers and layers of education requirements, exams, residencies, etc., just to be eligible in the first place. After taking the job, they have to meet professional ethics standards, complete continuing education credits, it…

Do you actually fly anywhere, or is this just trolling...? I’ve never not gotten peanuts. All of the major airlines in the USA still serve them as snacks. If you have an allergy, you’re supposed to ask for an alternative snack. But the “default” is still to offer and serve peanuts to everybody else. You’re not a…

Okay, so some propagandists shined a light on something, and that got all of us to pay attention. You say, “even if they are actually making these complaints in good faith...” but then you leave it at “if.” Did you stop to think? Did you come to any conclusion about their arguments? Now that you’re aware of what…

Wow, you’re seeing movies for $12 per person? Around me, it’s been $18 for several years. Extra for 3D, Imax, etc. And if I decide to wait until it hits streaming, I can sometimes rent it for $19.99... more than the theater’s price.

Oh, for fuck’s sake, more whining!

That’s one big difference. There’s also the difference in their personal connections to the story. Ayo Edebiri criticized Jennifer Lopez without knowing her, without working with her, maybe without ever even being in the same room as her... it was just a random joke. Bowen Yang is facing heat for talking about paid…

What in the world. You tricked me with this reenactment photo, so I googled it... This isn’t them, but the real Bonnie and Clyde were indeed both hotties! Interesting fact! hahaha

What do you actually know about Bowen Yang? He’s a very intelligent guy. He got his degree in something technical like biochemistry, I think, and at one point was planning on becoming either a doctor or a clinical researcher. You should listen to him in interviews (or his own podcast) where he just talks off the cuff…

What do you think a “professional astrologist” is?

Yeah, I want to be sensitive, but I rolled my eyes at the repeated use of the word “trauma.” We’ve all had coworkers we don’t like, but it’s a stretch to call that “trauma.” She had an easy job, people did her makeup and hair for her to make her look even more beautiful... where’s the workplace “trauma”? There are…
