If you look into the background of successful actors a large percentage of them come from upper middle class or straight up rich families that allow them the luxury of being a “starving artist” for a few years that people from more modest families aren’t able to do.

How much of this is the actor and how much is the actor’s agent?

TIL Gabbo from the Simpsons was a reference to a movie

you forgot the number one scam for several hundred years: capitalism.

I made it about 2 minutes into del Toro’s Pinocchio. When Geppetto started singing I was out.

The stuff between Poppy and Ian has always been the heart of the show. As time goes on they have had to strain credibility more and more to keep Ashley Burch and Danny Pudi’s characters around. The scenes with them are the weakest parts of the season.

“He definitely wasn’t born in the year 0, by the way.”

I think my favorite Nolan movie is the one where there are barely any non-white actors and the women only exist as plot points for the men.

Where are this kid’s parents? Do they do anything to actually parent this kid?

How do you avoid getting screwed at work because you are single without kids. I teach in a small department and they would never say “you do it because you don’t have kids,” they do love to get out of things because of them which leaves me without an excuse. So I get stuck covering for everyone when they have to take…

When watched Wakanda Forever, I couldn’t help but think about her anti-vax stance and it really hurt my enjoyment of her otherwise great performance.

I am born and raised in Indiana and even though I do have a phd it is in media studies so I don’t know how elite I am. However, I had never heard of a lot of these shows. I give myself a pass on shows that have only been on a couple years but Blue Bloods is still on? I remember that the woman from Jag did some witch…

The category was one where all responses contained the letter “A.”

I’m disappointed in the depiction of Madonna in Weird. There are only a few women in multiple scenes in the whole movie: his mom and Madonna and they decide to play into the stereotype of Madonna being only interested in her own fame and power?

Moonrunners is really interesting to watch knowing that it would be mutated into Dukes of Hazzard. Moonrunners is played 100% straight with none of the playfulness of the tv show but it has many of the trademarks of the show including dynamite arrows and, I believe, even the trademark shirts of the main characters at…

Remember back in 2008 when 2 black men were standing in front a polling place and conservatives spent years saying it was voter intimidation even though no one reported feeling intimidated and in the video of the event there is some white woman standing in the background casually talking on her phone? New Black…

Yep. there are more black people in this than in all of Wes Anderson’s films combined.

I have gotten them for the last two years but $99 is too much.

I was curious about this and wikipedia led me to this article

I don’t know why TJ Miller is still able to make a living in entertainment. I checked his wikipedia and apparently he had some brain surgery and the court decided side effects from that was mitigating factor in the whole train bomb thing but still who is paying to see this guy?
