I’m certainly not saying it was ever considered a “good” movie - in fact, that’s kind of my point. It was never widely considered a fine piece of art, and it definitely was never considered a shining example of women’s issues in film, so why examine it in that context now? Simply because “MeToo” exists? I’m just tired…

A few things: 1) Pretty sure the opening sermon scene happens AFTER the courthouse scene, timeline-wise. That’s why one says “I do believe the Monsignor’s finally got the point.”
2) Of course he doesn’t recognize the main characters, he was imprisoned before they were old enough to recognize them. They specifically…

You continue to be a fan and i will continue being the man.

Look out now...Romo made a joke about Deon’s tackling acumen and Prime got butthurt. His skin is as thin as his analysis.

My favorite part is that Primetime didn’t even bother to look at the actual list of All-Pro safeties jsut to, like, figure out what the “random fan” was talking about.

Obviously Twitter is another thing Deion couldn’t tackle…

Out there on the interwebs there’s a video of Harry Connick Jr. — I promise I’m gonna bring this around — and he’s playing piano and the crowd is clapping, but they’re clapping on the wrong beats. And so in the middle of doing jazz things to the piano he improvises and adds a single beat to one bar and when he…

I think the thing that can make him fun—super fun, in fact!—to watch is to view the stuff he does in those interminable seconds after he catches the ball but before he either shoots it or passes not as (or not always as) aimless noodling: Oftentimes, he’s using all those dribbles and jab steps and head fakes to…

Settle down now. If a game gives you the option of playing solo then it’s perfectly fine to evaluate that aspect. A lot of people were probably wondering how it is for one.

You’re crazy if you think that this is considered anything but a failure internally. This was the biggest thing they had, and it showed diminishing returns.

“Made money” has to be considered next to “how much did it cost?” And that number is $300m. It’s the second most expensive movie ever made. It didn’t even make back its money in domestic gross.

Pence’s book will sell millions more copies as a result of this.

I liked the one for “Winners and Losers of the Second Round of the NCAA tournament.” Like that one seems pretty straightforward, guys. There’s a bracket and everything.

Ebert was such a good writer. When he literally lost his voice due to his jaw cancer surgeries, he took to blogging and wrote some amazing things. His website is still a trove of great reviews covering about 40 years of his work.

Yes, there’s actually a ton of good business writing. Michael Lewis, James Stewart, Matt Levine, and Gretchen Morgenstern are all great, just off the top of my head. It’s just like any other field of journalism, though: there are press release quoters and meaningless #analysis merchants, and then there are real…

“I see Hue Jackson finally made it into the Hall of Fame. Pro tip to save you a little cash, Hue: Admission is half price on Wednesdays.”

Oh, I know. Sadly, becoming a wildly successful comedic actor to fund your painting career is the only trajectory less practical than becoming a wildly successful painter to fund your painting career.

He is definitely the most accomplished of actors-turned-dilettante-painters I’ve seen. I’m not personally enamored of his stuff, but he has an actual strong formal, structural understanding of color, composition, and style.

It is an interesting coincidence that Carrey, who became famous for talking out of his ass, is now getting heat for painting a portrait of Huckabee Sanders, who is famous for talking out of her ass.
