No, Mister Incredible endorses the idea that there are inherently superior beings. As part of a character arc where he sees that his attitude is producing an arrogant, obnoxious brat of a child and has produced a whiny, spoiled supervillain of an adult with a sense of entitlement that stems from his gifts and his…

Oh, I totally agree. The idea that Marvel’s movie about the talking space raccoon and his space tree friend that can only say three words would not only beat the Justice League to theaters, but would out-gross it, would have been totally ludicrous ten years ago. And yet it happened! I would love to have been a fly on…

This is your daily schadenfreude reminder that Justice League made less than a third of that.

The thing is, I’m not sure that there’s a way for Clinton to be prepared for these questions. That’s why powerful men always worked so hard to make sure they were never asked in the first place—there is no good way to say, “Yes, I valued my sexual gratification more than the humanity of the person I was using to get…

Oh, I’m sure they’ll give him books and comics. But this was the official unofficial “You are not ready for the big leagues” message, and the GLC movie was a sop to his pride, basically.

I remember they asked Robert Smith about T.O. when all the shit was going down between T.O. and McNabb, saying, “Now, you worked with Randy Moss—”

Until I actually see the credits roll, I am going to take this as “we’re firing/demoting your ass, but you’re popular with fans so we’re going to make it sound like we’re just shifting you to something else.” This has the stink of ‘turn in a script that we toss straight into the trash’ all over it.

The best part of the reverse Lesnar is when you start talking about how much respect you have for LGBT rights.

Oh, so you’re stupid! I wish you’d said so earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted time talking to you.

Emile Hirsch is a violent, abusive asshole who is somehow still being employed in his field of choice despite assaulting his co-workers. Jameela Jamil is an actress who is personally familiar with the situation and is speaking out about it. They matter because they are, respectively, a symbol of the current sorry…

I stand with Jameela. And given our relative heights, I probably make a perfect elbow rest.

Counterpoint: ‘Don’t Look Now’ is incredibly fucking dull after its emotionally manipulative opening sequence, and is basically an exercise in killing time while you wait for Donald Sutherland to be stabbed by a little person. The ending is great, don’t get me wrong, but this is a movie made for clip shows and the…

I’d say that the feeling might be unavoidable—sooner or later, everyone develops a bit of a crush on someone they’re close to, sometime in their lives. But the decision to act on that feeling is entirely avoidable. I think people sometimes conflate those two things.

We’re not having a “conversation”. You’re spouting off bullshit even after admitting that you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, and I’m reminding you that you should instead shut up and listen to people who do know what they’re talking about. That’s not a conversation. That’s not even the beginning of a…

You’ve already admitted you don’t know what you’re talking about. Why do you expect me to keep listening to you?

It’s silly, but I’ll always remember the story he told about a job interview he totally bombed for an executive chef position because the restaurant owner asked, “What do you know about me?” and he decided to be honest and admit that he knew absolutely nothing rather than risk getting caught out in false flattery.

So what forms of oppression do you see, specifically?

You’re right. There’s plenty of meanness here. Your opinions are shameful, and I am openly and overtly attempting to make you ashamed of them. Your “solutions” are the kind of pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by bullshit that people use to justify doing nothing, the kind of “oh, hey, if we just ignored the fact that systemic…

You are just astonishingly terrible at good faith discussion, aren’t you? Not only have you continued in your quest to obliterate context and pretend racism doesn’t exist because if you had to admit to a systemic bias underpinning the success of white men, your entire argument would collapse (“white men” becomes…

The classic dodge of racist assholes everywhere: “Hey, if you remove all the context from this situation and try to pretend racism and sexism don’t exist, what she’s saying sounds really bad!” But I’m not and it does, so again, GTFO with that weaksauce bullshit. Your arguments are nothing but powdered stupid sprinkled…
