“I can call Charlize by one name and a majority of regular people will know who I’m talking about.”

I can’t wait for Dutch customs authorities to release a sick diss track about the situation.

It’s like that old adage: “Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by Kinja being trash.”

Yeah, I’m pretty staunchly anti-AI when it comes to creative fields, but even I find the claim that there’s no version of the technology that could be beneficial reductive as hell. Computers do things so much faster than humans can, and there will always be fields where harnessing that kind of speed will be an…

“Garbage in, garbage out” remains a reliable principle.

Also, this looks like the first part of a regular feature. Remember when the AV Club had those? Articles based on actual topics, and not just wild speculation about a single quote from a 10 second red carpet interview.

“I think George Miller is a feminist, and he made a feminist action film.”

Having recoegnitions say one of your posts is “brave” should essentially be the de-graying procedure.

You’re not wrong about our love for a good Indian meal, and a lot of those are both red-hot and slow-cooked. I do think that there’s less of that culture of eating spicy food just because it’s spicy, like some kind of manliness test. When it comes to stuff like curries, I think flavour is still the top priority, heat…

“Well, whenever you notice a lack of engagement like that, a wizard did it.”

As long as he surpassed DJ Khaled, who famously tapped out on wing #3, our national pride is maintained.

I’d say we do spicy food in a different way in Australia. Asian food of all sorts is big here, particularly Thai and Malaysian food, but that often has a fresher, brighter heat; think uncooked birds-eye chillies sprinkled on top. There’s less of a tradition of hot sauces that have been slow-cooked.

I respect the ability of an artist to look at their own work critically and see where it could be improved, but I do think there needs to be a balance. If you can never see you’re own work and say “That was fantastic” when it really is, that feels just as dishonest as a rampaging ego would.

I could be wrong, but I think Shanely has told all the actors playing the priest (in the movie and the productions of the play) what the truth is, but only them and not the rest of the cast.

How many non-white actors are there in the Harry Potter movies to target?

I don’t know why we never got a sequel to ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’. That was a hell of an Oldman performance.

I had the AV Club liquidated, they were being insolent!

I may have said this when the topic came up before, but I’m happy enough for the concept of the “movie star” to die. I’ve never liked the idea of the actor being bigger than the role/film they’re in. That’s not why I watch movies. I think a big part of the MCU’s initial success was that they were hiring actors who…

The only thing I’ve gotten from this discussion is that “movie star” is a nebulously concept whose definition almost no one agrees on.
