Except she did, directly. And being refused further work to show up and pretend-laser fight, or being disinvited from a lunch or a wedding, or being called an asshole for your outspoken asshole views, is hardly the same thing as being rounded up and put into death camps because of which book your parents worship. So…

Oh no, I hope Tucker Carlson’s brow isn’t furiously knitting in a fit of faux-outraged confusion right now

YES! Dolores Claiborne is such an underrated film. Had no idea his role was invented for the adaptation— He’s terrific in it. It’s nice to see posts appreciating his roles apart from SOM, which he never liked (mostly because they dubbed over his singing).

I’m completely open to the fact that my opinion of some of AVClub’s critics might be off-base. I can certainly see why people might be offended by my post or at least disagree with it. But if my post is so terrible on its own, why do you have to make up a whole new block of text I didn’t write?

Nice straw man you have there.

This is a gross simplification of what I wrote, but if people want to ascribe bad faith and a nefarious agenda to my words, there’s not much I can do to stop them.

Ah yes, the AVClub comment section:  Only there for opinions you asked for!

OK, I’m gonna get roasted for this, but here goes.

I despise Barsanti and agree with your take, but if this policy sticks I will applaud it.  The only attention Trump should be getting is from state and federal prosecutors.  The rest of us should be focusing on WandaVision, getting a vaccine, and expelling as many republicans from office as possible in 2022 and beyond.

He’s talking about Americans being killed due to the dereliction of duty by an American President. The millions of people who were exterminated by the Nazis were not counted among U.S. casualties for the very obvious reason that they were not U.S. citizens.

‘Who ungreyed this idiot?’

Cate Blanchett is no slouch, but the finest performance in Mrs. America belongs to Sarah Paulson. She absolutely shredded her episode.

Brockmire season 4 was indeed fucking terrific. But then again, so was all of Brockmire. It’s the rare TV comedy (along with East Bound and Down) that managed to improve upon itself each season and end on its own terms, at the summit of its quality.  It’s a deeply felt show that actually makes you root for the…

I’ve sadly never gotten around to reading Pratchett, and therefore quite enjoyed the BBC adaptations because I could appreciate what DID translate rather than what didn’t. Hogfather has one of my favorite TV jokes of all time—Death as a department store Santa, to a child:

Hey, I lived through the 90’s! Con Air is memorable chiefly for being absolutely terrible, and Nic Cage’s mullet. Air Force One is remembered for being OK solely because people couldn’t yet believe they’d seen Harrison Ford star in a bad action movie.  That simply wasn’t done at the time!

My favorite plot-(point? Hole?) in TDKR is Bane’s plan to win Gotham’s proletariats to his side by blowing up their football team.

While Kang has long maintained that Christopher Nolan is not nearly as intelligent a storyteller as people seem to think he is, I will defend Gordon’s fake death. The Joker is systematically murdering the top law enforcement and judicial authorities in Gotham, and in fact poisoned the previous police commissioner. …

Tom Hardy’s Bane voice is the only stupid, ridiculous fun thing about a movie that is otherwise stupid, ridiculous and not at all fun.

WHISK-HEYYYY!

Kurt Russell is engineering the death of democracy? I don’t know how anyone can squint at Kurt Russell so hard that they see Rudy Giuliani, but OK
