We’ve found the limitation; as it turns out, you cannot build a comedic movie around a personality without any talent.

While I generally agree with the sentiment that the last thing the world needs is another Manson doc, if this is essentially an adaptation of CHAOS, then I’m on board. 

No Sister Street Fighter??

I get that you’re liberal, which makes sense that you would be sympathetic to the landlord class. But being socialist is completely different from being liberal, not just simply the leftmost edge of liberalism which most Americans misunderstand. They’re two different ideologies, with a lot of overlap, sure. Consider…

I say kudos to Bell and Shepard for waiving April’s rent! If they demand May’s rent and threaten to issue three-day-or-quit notices, or if they demand that the “waived” April rent be repaid, I say the tenants should organize into a tenant’s association, join their local tenant’s union (I’m assuming this is Los…

Jesus, even the screen shots look terrible.

Definitely the best chapter is at the end, when the Brotherhood permits Ras the Exhorter to stage a riot which grows out of control into a full blown insurrection, sending the narrator into the sewers for refuge. It really ties together all of the major themes of the novel.

I think it actually does apply very well in the way you’re using it, but the reviewer seems to think gaslighting is whenever you doubt another person’s interpretation of events.

In this new version of the classic thriller, the Invisible Man turns out to actually be a negative body thetan. 

I’m glad the film does not completely ignore the apparent unlikelihood of a woman of a Rose-Byrn-type role and a woman of a Tiffany-Haddish-type role being inseparable BFFs, but does Arteta at all explore the racial dynamics of the cosmetics industry? I realize this is meant to be frivolous escapism (and that’s 100%…

This may be a Jacob’s Ladder-type situation.

You put everything I was thinking into words. 

Chapo either 2016 or 2018. But should definitely be somewhere on any list of decade-defining podcasts. 

This list would be much more defensible if titled “My Favorite Podcasts of the 2010s” (purely subjective) or “The Best Podcasts of the 2010s” (pretty subject, but you still need some criteria to defend what makes them the best), but to call this a list of the podcasts which defined the decade means thinking much more…

Sounds like it’s just retreading a major theme of Hollow Man, and I guess just making it even more blatant? As though Hollow Man weren’t already pretty on the nose.

Goddamn sonuvabitch!

SNL, cast Adam Friedland. 

Goddammit, I thought this was going to be the Adam Ant biopic I’ve been waiting for all my life.

The message is, “see how far we’ll go to make these people’s lives miserable? And that’s just Hyde! He doesn’t even get booked for movies! Imagine what we would do if you tried to bring suits against Miscavige!”
