This is what I love about the action in these movies: everything Wick does is cool as fuck, but it's all totally functional and never just for the purpose of looking cool. It's 100% about being the most effective fighter possible. I also love that the movie is very meticulous about Wick only having a certain amount of

He is really only a bad actor if line readings are your sole criterion for good acting. He has a great ability to sell the physicality of his action scenes that I think is probably unmatched, even by guys who are technically better martial artists. His performance in Wick strikes this great note of extreme competence

Keanu Reeves may not give the most natural line readings, but he always looks extremely natural doing action scenes; his competence at portraying John Wick's competence reminded me of none other than the great Chow Yun Fat. Whatever lack of ability he may have compared to full-time martial artists and stuntmen, he

I don't even really know Imogen Heap, to be honest.

You seem to want to draw a line between rape culture and capitalism as if the two are unrelated. The fact that many people are willing to ignore and cover up rape for money is rape culture. Hell, there are people who will cover up rape so a high school can win more football games.

I guess I'm in the minority in actually liking Bill Maher. I occasionally find him somewhat mean-spirited, but he's pretty funny for the most part, a lot of his insights are on point, and I like that the audience isn't expected to automatically agree with everything he says. The only thing I really don't like about

The fact that he is widely known to be a rapist and condemned as such, yet suffers no material consequences for that fact, is absolutely not a strong argument against the existence of rape culture.

They blew all their money on cocaine to come up with the name and didn't have enough left to actually make the brewery.

Trump is a law-and-order guy. He thinks law enforcement is the solution to crime, sees crime fundamentally as a cops-vs.-criminals issue, and probably imagines that all Chicago needs to get straightened out is a good old-fashioned crackdown.

Being from Georgia, I felt some of the same things when Trump attacked John Lewis (!) by making out like his Atlanta district is an apocalyptic hellhole.

Not mention letting Wolf Blitzer, a.k.a. a sleepwalking grandpa who just got startled awake, continue to dodder around the place.

I have heard this from multiple unrelated sources! That alone should have disqualified him from being president. I'm not even kidding. If a guy has a ton of money and unlimited access to every facet of luxury and high culture, yet goes around ordering well done steaks, there's obviously something defective about him.

He looks like he's about five seconds from being dragged offstage by security during The Marshall Tucker Band's set at the Florida State Fair.

I remember in 9th grade World History class, we were learning about Napoleon and the teacher was talking about how he was a little guy, but had a very dominating and confrontational personality, and this one kid goes, "So he was three foot nine with a ten foot attitude?" And half the kids were holding our breath

Why am I not surprised that this son of a bitch orders the wedge salad?

What's the hyperbole? CNN's report on it seems pretty straightforward.

As a young dude who was into stuff like City of Caterpillar and pg.99 and shit, that early 00s emo-pop explosion was very rough on me.

Honestly, it's usually a good idea to pay attention if anybody is saying it.

"That's my secret, Cap…I always have diarrhea."

Yeah, but who would get mad? Who cares?
