Yep--they don’t want to get rid of undocumented workers, they want to make them scared and vulnerable. :(

Except that even just working from TDK, you know who the Joker is—he’s a madman who’s trying to prove that anyone can become a murderer under the right circumstances. You know his motivations and his personality almost immediately, he’s a sadistic trickster figure who’s trying to use his pranks to teach the “lesson”…

After he took Emmanuel Lewis with him to the Grammys as his “date”, I was just like, “OH MY FUCKING GOD HOW DOES EVERYONE NOT SEE IT?”

It’s from io9--Rob Bricken wrote a piece called “The Most Important Scenes From Man of Steel (As I Remember Them)“, and it does a great job of pointing out some of the flaws in the film.

Look, they aren’t sending us their best ingredients, is all.

Young Clark: So I’m kind of thinking I should use my powers for good, to help people and stuff.

Not to mention, men who brag about cunnilingus are never genuinely interested in a woman’s pleasure except as a way of keeping score. I know women who just really aren’t interested in oral, and guys like this always take it as an insult. “Oh, no no no. You only think you’re not into it because you haven’t let me do it…

Speaking as a man with facial hair, I 100% agree. It’s a beard. It’s not a fucking ethos.

Oh good. Starting next month I won’t be able to accidentally watch ‘Cabin Fever’.

Classic Doctor Who is available on BritBox, one of those other streaming services you probably haven’t heard of unless you have a sudden, aching need to watch some very niche TV. The fee is $6.99 a month--I’m on the fence about it myself, and they do also have Blackadder and Spitting Image, but I’m not quite ready to…

That was what I wanted Pelosi to say. “Our starting position is that the criminal in the White House resign immediately, take his shoes and socks off, and walk into the ocean until we can’t even see bubbles anymore. But we’re willing to compromise and fund the government without his stupid wall.”

It’s harder to destroy evidence than it used to be, and these guys are less competent than the Nixon administration. It wouldn’t surprise me if they dragged the sound files over to the recycling bin, clicked “Empty”, and smugly thought to themselves, “They’ll never catch me now...”

So we’re just going to change the song to, “Sandmann! Yeah, you, ya asshole! Get the fuck over here and bring me another goddamn dream!”

I think that “always” is kind of an optimistic phrasing? Maybe a bit more like “the last twenty or thirty years or so, with outliers stretching back maaaaaaaybe another decade”?

Taking the position that “he shouldn’t suffer professional consequences” is taking the position that his audiences shouldn’t diminish due to a large number of people suddenly finding out that he’s a shitty person. And yes, about the only way you can enforce that is to hold people at gunpoint and force them to watch…

While actively pissing yourself.

Look, are you going to want to be the person to tell Nick Fury he’s shitty at going undercover? I guarantee you that Maria Hill has walked up to him at least seven times, muttering to herself, “tell him to ditch the eyepatch, tell him to ditch the eyepatch, tell him to ditch the eyepatch...” And when he looks at her…

Yeah, I mean it’s not like we have any other evidence in the film that he acts creepy and unprofessional around women! He doesn’t gaslight one of his students into thinking she’s psychic in order to sleep with her, or use his professional obligations as an excuse to stalk a client, or...

Here’s the thing, though. Ansari literally has, in the parlance of the Internet, one job. And that job is to make audiences want to watch him do stuff for extended periods of time without changing the channel. And it’s great that you feel like he’s suffered enough, and that he’s learned his lesson, and all that shit…

Wait, wait, wait, you don’t love Bill Murray as that guy who uses work as an excuse to stalk his client? But... but what about the wacky gag where he electrocutes some guy while hitting on one of his students in a blatant breach of professional ethics?
