He think that he hasn’t been successful?! There’s thousands of actually unsuccessful actors that would like the opportunities he’s received.

The way Lindsay Ellis frames it is that she had tweeted that YA fantasy has a penchant for being derivative of Avatar the Last Airbender of late, which left Twitter translated to an anti-Asian sentiment. Left Twitter did the very Twitter thing of “don’t defend yourself, that’s talking over Asian voices; meanwhile,…

Jim Caviezel is the bellwether for the actuality of the whole “Conservatives/Christians/boths can’t survive in Hollywood”; the dude was able to be openly Christian to date, and had a lot of great roles, and was often a leading man. Maybe it will be changing for the worst now that his wagon is hitched to crazy…

The series was such a great introduction to Taraji P Henson & Sarah Shahi, and the dude that played Fusco was fantastic- I went from feeling like he was kind of a total shitty person, to really feeling for him.

Oh yeah, that aspect is probably the worst part of the film. I wouldn’t call it Friday the 13th bad, not even Event Horizon bad; I think the most generous equivalency would be that it’s I Know What You Did Last Summer style slasher. I don’t really know how I’d doctor that script, though, what would you replace that…

Yeah, unsurprisingly there’s a cadre of weirdo right-wingers that are devoted to trying to take her down. Then there’s the rapscallion anime avatars that want to police every ‘indiscretion’ she made, whether she made a mistake or if they could overblow it to ludicrous proportions.

Never watched either of them, but I do love Ewan McGregor!

I think our films have programmed to really not like an ending like that- we always want the fantasy to end with the possibility of getting out, and the idea of “what do we do when there’s no possible good ending” is hard to process in a dramatic film.

Lindsay posted an hour-long deep dive into the “receipts” that are coming up to “cancel” her, and she addressed that with other things as well. I believe her reply on that was that the autistism joke she had made years ago was extremely juvenile and edgelordy, and she had a lot of regret over that.

The Skillet is the most confounding place in the G/O empire. pUt BuTtEr oN cHiPs!!! PuT rAnDoM CrAp iN tHe WaFfLeR!!! Did you know air fryers are good?!

I’m happy to see her get this, because I’ll never watch a show from NBC and I’m glad that talent I enjoy is not being wasted on NBC.

Is this a big deal for the Bachelor community? Do viewers keep up with the contestants and winners?

I mean I’m disappointed that it’s not my thing, but that’s no onus on Smith. He seems a genuinely cool guy, this stuff gives work to his friends and family, and I’m sure there’s B-movie buffs that have fun with his current catalogue. All power to the guy.

I don’t think what Smith does nowadays caters to anybody who expects the caliber of the View Askewniverse days. Killroy Was Here looks more in line with something Stuart Gordon would put out on Full Moon than something from the guy that made Mallrats and Dogma.

Barsanti makes up for lack of acuity with an abundance of low-brow snark.

I appreciate that- I really find people that can’t stand criticism of something they like as grating as the people who can’t stand allowing people to enjoy things they personally don’t enjoy. I don’t think it looks like you’re doing that, but it was hard to tell that apart from the whiners throughout this comment…

I won’t pretend that there’s a good chance that what you say is actually true, but his thick-headedness on what he puts out there in some forms of media shouldn’t change the value of the art that he puts out in others, unless he engages in specifically damaging discourse towards other people. I also don’t think you’re…

As a Canadian I see no issue with you bringing the glorious religion across to the apostastes.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about- Kreischer has successful specials, he has his own tv shows up to and including this year, he’s one of the comedians that did a standup circuit for drive-in events last year.

I’ve got a broad taste in comedy, and Kreischer’s comedy specials have been pretty fun. He also is pretty obviously a craftsman in standup, when he’s talking about how the sausage is made, he really knows what he’s talking about.
