“Curb’s always benefitedfrom its loose plotting, so I’m a little worried at this direction.”

B-? Really? This was one of the funniest curb eps in a long time, start to finish. 

B+ at worst. That episode was classic.

A friend of mine that I watched it with said it was his favorite episode of Curb ever. Really surprised about the low score.

Not having read your review yet, I’m perplexed on why this episode received such a low grade. I was seriously laughing for 30 minutes!

You would deliberately choose an English accent to speak French? That is an...uh...interesting idea. Yeah, let’s pass a law the makes it illegal for white people to speak any non-white language. That should really be helpful to bridge the racial divide!

So is this something I can use against Drake? This reminds me of those times he tries to put the islands in his voice.

I speak English, even though it isn’t my first language. I also didn’t grow up in an area where English was the first language, yet no one would chide me for speaking the language. People who know even a little bit about the history of Patois do not identify it with being ghetto. That is simply not true. This is…

Jesus Christ...get over yourself and your accents and your don’t do this and don’t do that. If this is the biggest thing that we have to worry about at the Golden Globes then we are doing ok. Some dude chooses to have fun with an accent or language and we are up in arms? Remember that the next time you drop into a…

So after clothes and hairstyles, we now have to add languages/dialects of non-white countries/regions to things white people are no longer allowed to use? This gets weirder by the day.

I love this mindset that the internet has where they think everyone must be as interested in whatever they’re focusing on at the moment as intently as they are, and if someone isn’t, the reaction is disbelief, shock and anger. It would be like if I walked into a room muttering about something and started punching…

But someone between the ages of 18-24 is unfulfilled about something! Surely this cannot stand.

Hey, great. Next let’s ask the dancing Magic Mountain guy what he thinks about theoretical physics.

Oh, this is a great idea for a site! My favorite Coen characters are the secondary ones. The two cynical cops in “Barton Fink” are fucking amazing, and Michael Lerner should have won an Oscar.

Remember when Simon Peg suggested something similar to this and the internet raged hard enough to make him back track so he wasn’t canceled.

That’s not a counterpoint, that’s what he’s saying. People are choosing to escape in bullshit fairy tales about people in ridiculous suits solving world problems with really hard punches.

Which of the current crop of capes movies don’t fit his description? Even “Black Panther” was quasi-fascist; the main thrust of the movie focuses on PoCs who have succeeded under capitalism refusing to assist the PoCs who have been exploited under the same system. Killmonger was right but he was “the bad guy” so he…

Counter-counterpoint: all culture is “escapist” by design. That doesn’t excuse consuming the worst of it under the guise of “let people enjoy things.”

This is not high low this is Human versus Excel spreadsheet.

How about instead we prepare to explain to our nieces and nephews that Alan Moore and Martin Scorcese, like all artists and critics, still cling to the long-dead myth of the distinction between high and low culture, and fancy themselves gatekeepers between the two.
