Just remember; next time you read an article about the ‘sanctity’ of the Olympics with regards to events like Skateboarding or Bowling, the ‘sport’ of “Letting a Horse Carry Your Ass Around” has been with us for more than a century.

What I’m saying is, fuck that shit.

I realize there is a certain amount of skill involved with forcing an animal to do all the hard work. I guess since they compete, it’s a “sport” but this seems a lot less about the triumph of the human spirit and will, than literally every other Olympic sport. Maybe I misunderstand the Olympics.

Ah, the Blue-Collar Noo Joizey hero...

There are no poor equestrians.

leveraging the awesome advantage of having incredibly rich and famous parents into a career sitting on the back of a horse while it does stuff in a “sport” that no one watches or cares about

I didn’t read the book, but the show seemed to work far better in standalone episodes than as a continuous narrative. The larger mythos never seemed terribly coherent, nor all that necessary.

Rogan is a buffoon but I’m not sure his periodic interviewing of a section of far right twerps is even close to as normalizing or destructive as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News et al. constantly covering Trump and his cohort, even if critically. And, to his credit (gag), Rogan does bring on a hugely diverse cross section of…

I really enjoyed “Undeclared” but that was because it was simply the next-best substitute to “Freaks And Geeks” since that was gone. On its own, I like Undeclared, but it’s several steps below the near-perfection of Freaks and Geeks.

So... is this going be to be Lee Pace being good in something surprisingly good, like The Fall, or Lee Pace being good in something depressingly awful, like The Hobbit movies?

Disgusting. Who would watch James Corden?

is this series about having someone who really likes a bad movie argue to try to get into it, or is it just about contrarily saying bad movies are good movies and pretending they are? Because Reloaded is bad, there are bad movies in the world, there isn’t just another context or perspective that turns everything into…

The Wachowskis outright ask audiences to question everything they’re being told on screen. They want us to disengage with Reloaded as a narrative and look at it from an outside perspective—to unplug and see the code, to detect the manipulation in their filmmaking and apply it to their understanding of Neo’s journey.

Eh, it’s streets ahead of Revolutions (recently rewatched, and egad is that boring trash), but no amount of masturbatory filmic doubletalk is going to convince me that Reloaded is anything but an okay sequel with some good fight scenes (the highway scene is thrilling), a lot of CGI that has not held up, and an…

I’m trying to imagine Scottish pizza... I’m guessing the sauce is gravy/brown sauce instead of red, and the toppings are boiled cabbage, peas, and intestines?

Huh, good to know that I didn’t actually think it was mediocre, shallow, scattershot, and not very interesting. The product placement was top-notch, though.

TK sassy remark about this screenshot:

I can sorta see multiple angles on this.

On the one hand, any artist forcefully rebutting why LGBTQ folk might see themselves in a TV-depicted relationship like the one between Bucky and Sam is going to reasonably get pushback. ESPECIALLY if you’re going to forcefully rebut an underdepicted minority group. And there’s…

He probably could’ve phrased it better, but I agree with the underlying sentiment 100%. It’s absurd that every male friendship gets distorted into a potential gay relationship, even when there’s no evidence beyond the relationship being just a male friendship. Happens with female friendships, too (see, e.g.,…

You mean people don’t want to make toast that requires 10 minutes (heating the skillet, melting the butter, and toasting on either side) as opposed to 2-3 in a toaster, needs a whole other loaf of bread, and means you have to wash dishes afteward? Craziness.

“Why aren’t we all frying our toast?”
