Here’s my pitch: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and Steamboat Willie Are Dead.

Nihilistic Mickey. It’s basically just Camus’ ‘The Stranger’ with a mouse.

I was recently in an acting workshop where one of the exercises was to simply stand in front of the group with a neutral expression. In most cases, the first attempt was not read by the group as neutral but at least mildly antagonistic. Point is, people often, when they have no particular expression on their face,…

Maybe learn what the word “gaslit” means before you throw it around. Someone expressing an opinion (for example, “There’s nothing unusual or noteworthy about the NFL showing a lot of footage of Taylor Swift at a game”) is not akin to a form of psychological manipulation designed to have the victim doubt their own…

Thankyou for reminding me of one of my favourite throwaway Simpsons jokes.

Talk about auto erotic!

Boy, the AV Club’s really sticking it to that Jo Koy guy again. He must work there or something.

Speaking of redheads who evoke Feelings, congratulations Sarah Snook!

My controversial opinion is that Glenn Close is the peerless actor everyone thinks Meryl Streep is.

“No one really lost their minds about his being at the Grammys except the chronically online, and he was invited to the Grammys!”

“Your coward ass is always hiding behind press releases. … You’re still gay and that’s FINAL”.

This inane “X is somewhat camp so they must be gay” (or “is butch so must be a lesbian”) thing is one of the reasons homophobia stays so strong. People are so afraid that the slightest deviation from heteronormativity will have them labelled as queer, with all the potential alienation and harassment that entails, that…

It’s CycloRine, goddamnit!

So the rest were written by the kids in the hall?

This is just the entertainment industry’s plan to pave the way for AI. “A real human being wrote those jokes. Ask yourself: could a computer program really do any worse?”

It has the potential to be funny, but that is some of the most ineffective delivery of a joke I’ve ever heard. It felt like he was giving up on it halfway through.

Absolutely, it happened to me when I was a kid. I think it’s more interesting that this sort of thing doesn’t happen in the other direction. If, say, some 13 year old beat a world tennis champion and some anchor said “Maybe they should crack open a book sometime”, everyone would say they were being a dick. (And…
