Oh, you’re selling us short! We hate everyone except rich white men. Children are just one of the many, many groups meriting our loathing.

Oh my god, comedy series with dark, creepy subtexts that gradually get unveiled over the course of several episodes is totally my jam! I don’t know how they knew, but I’m suddenly very interested in this show.

Which are, in turn, distinctly different from chunkin’ punkins.

It wasn’t the n-word. It was the f-word. He said, as part of a sketch that parodied ‘Who Shot JR?’, “It hurts a lot. I’d like to find the guy that fucking did it.” Since it went out over live television, the FCC wound up fining them, and it was the excuse the network needed to get rid of Jean Doumanian (whose tenure…

For the same reason most people don’t skip out on their two weeks’ notice--you don’t want it to get back to future employers that you’re unreliable.

Generally they do the regenerations at the end of the season, while the actor is still under contract. Also generally the actor is leaving voluntarily and the final story is written to give them a graceful, dignified exit.

On the other hand, it does seem kind of obvious that the agents’ opposition to this is primarily rooted in the fact that any oversight of their profession could result in them losing access to players’ sweet sweet cash. I think it’s genuinely fair to say that this is two groups of assholes fighting over the right to…

“How could anyone possibly think differently from me on [the well-documented and horrifying trend of famous men getting away with serial sexual assault, which you’re trying to shut down a conversation on]. They obviously have ulterior motives.”

Counterpoint:

Collins was no less obvious a swing vote than Joe Manchin, the fucking Democrat who crossed party lines to say, “Yep! Rapey McBooferson is the guy for me!” And the whole reason Collins had to make her incredibly condescending speech is because everyone basically said, “Excuse me, you’re the Senate’s Official Woman, so…

Can I just take a moment to say that I don’t love the fact that everyone is saying, “Susan Collins deserves to lose her Senate seat for this?” Because while it’s true, it is yet another example of the prominent women in a sexual harassment scandal being singled out for special disdain or opprobrium while the men are…

And scientists feeling free to explore is important to their profession as well, but if someone is out there arguing that the earth is flat in this day and age, they’re not so much “exploring” as they are “engaging in bullshit that the rest of us are SO fucking over”. You see the analogy I’m crafting here? Racial…

“Please, call me Jerry. Mr. Rape-Monster was my father.”

It sounds like it’s about as hard as digging up dirt at a cemetery with this guy.

“If we point out that shitty, unfunny, racist comedians are shitty, racist and unfunny, how will they make a living?” is not the world-beating argument you seem to think it is.

Every good comedian has offended someone. But that doesn’t mean everyone who’s offended someone is automatically a good comedian.

Anyone else occasionally feel like Alan Moore has really cast some kind of genuine vengeful spell that forces DC to keep throwing away money on the delusion that what made Watchmen special and interesting was the characters and not his writing, and that if they just keep doing unspectacular adaptations and prequels…

I think it’s an unavoidable consequence of splitting the movie up the way they did. So much of the present-day portion of the book exists to frame and foreshadow the past; characters are introduced in the present first, and spend much of their time reminiscing about things we haven’t seen yet in a way that creates…

Same here. And honestly, I think that Freddy vs Jason and Jason Goes to Hell are underrated, too. They felt very much like they were made by people who’d been handed the ninth, tenth, and eleventh movies in a franchise known for its repetitiveness and said, “You know what? Let’s try doing something exciting with…
