Unfortunately, his Peloton instructor couldn’t hear Nolan’s response because the background music drowned out his words.

I call bullshit on NOBODY at the company knowing. Someone at that turd factory knew *exactly* what they were doing.

That’s totally understandable but deniability is also the entire point of dogwhistles. They use code and implication to publicly signal eachother in a way they normally couldn’t.

I have no idea about the people making this game, I think it could easily be a coincidence, but maybe not - they’re dog whistles, indended to be subtle enough so that they can be slipped into everyday life, letting Nazis identify each other or show support without being so obvious as a swastika; they’re designed to be…

You’re not wrong in that it feels like a stretch, but that’s very much how these groups build their dog whistles. Their language and the structure of the references to their reprehensible beliefs and the ideological underpinnings thereof is all very carefully structured in such a way that it can be hand-waved as ‘a…

I was going to make a joke about how the game characters seemed to let eighty seven infestations happen before finally doing something, but then I read further into the article, and now it isn´t funny anymore.

I can respect the kid has some serious psychiatric problems and needs help just for the safety of himself and others, but a life sentence smacks strongly of “We could solve this problem, or at least try, but we don’t want to.”

Yeah. The final season would be, what will Guillermo do next? I assume the vamps are all going to think about the future and then ultimately fall back into their old rhythms (one of the show’s ongoing premise-jokes being that vampires have a huge amount of trouble changing as people).

Bam Sarbanti is doing a piece to ca-me-rah!

First of all, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is a good run and I could sort of tell it might be winding down since Guillermo’s storyline essentially ended last season

Fer cryin out loud, if they’re genuinely upset over this, then they have too much time on their hands.

That’s very much a “them” problem. If you stop catering to that crowd over damn near everything, many of these so called problems wouldn’t exist. It’s a movie, not your entire life. Recast and let the complainers shout into the void.

Best approach: Recast Kang, and simply don’t comment on the fact that he looks different. The characters don’t need to acknowledge it. It’s the same character played by a different actor, it’s happened before, it doesn’t need in-world explanations.

People give Abrams a lot of grief for shitting on everything Rian Johnson wrote, but to be fair, he also shat on everything he himself wrote. Chewie’s dead! Nah, he’s fine. Finn has something super important to tell Rey! Don’t worry about it. C3PO’s memories are lost, because we know R2D2 doesn’t do regular backups!…

It’s a daring move to make a film that actively gaslights the audience.

She’s an executive producer on a lot of projects, but if you specifically look at what she personally produced on the ground?

Rey force-pushing Finn in annoyance after her spending two movies constantly wondering where he is and begging him not to leave her and then jumping into his arms the moment she sees him was to kill the Finn/Rey ship.

Kylo going full MacBeth is the end of The Last Jedi. Then they just kind of forgot he gave a speech pledging to murder Rey, destroy the Resistance, and scour the galaxy turning it into a fascist bloodbath.

she was introduced to put a pin in the ‘poe and finn are in love’ shipping.
