Holy shit sorry, this is a bad take. Be “at least a little thankful”... really? She’s already gone on record stating she never wanted to be an actor anyway.

my god they say in the article that this is a SMALL part of the book Ye gods, she was a teenager with an abusive mother, in an abusive system and she was jealous of someone. She has done a lot of work on herself and she’s being honest about being jealous/envious of someone. 

South Park catalyzed society’s base instinct. It wasn’t exactly novel at the time to mock elections with a shit sandwich vs a douche, as I’ve been hearing “the two parties are both the same” since I started paying any attention in 2000. But it sure activated a lot more people who would otherwise remain politically obli…

South Park *premiered* in 97. Its rise is much more an aughts phenomenon.

The current GOP playbook is South Park mockery to a tee. I don’t know how you can look at their “troll the libs” strategy as anything but Cartman writ large. It is an oversimplification to blame South Park entirely, but it’s willfully blind to not see how the two intersect.

havent been back to deadspin since the great stick to sports resignation.  i miss the jambaroo

“My brown lady creates environments for happy brown babies, I know it sounds crazy, but your skin’s the inspiration for cocoa butter.”

Before anyone puts forth an opinion on this situation, it’s worth it to check out that Bloomberg article on the executive shakeup at Warner Bros./Discovery. When Zaslav came in, he fired the highest-ranked woman at the company and hired an exclusively white male team to take over her duties. When he was given six…

That Red State is a modern horror masterpiece is a hill that I will happily die on. Although, like any film “directed” by Clint Eastwood in the last decade, I have serious doubts that Smith actually made it. It was just too good.

No, but you *would* expect him to believe that no movie is dogshit enough that it shouldn’t be released

I don’t think Zaslav canceling Batgirl had much to do with the subjective quality of the film. There was reportedly one test screening and it scored similarly to Shazam! 2. Having said that, it’s weird to me to see some people both entertain the idea that it was possibly that bad AND insist that WB should have…

Except that Clerks 2 is right up there with Empire Strikes Back on the list of all-time great sequels.

yeah but honestly it is just a very basic pulpy storyline - the early pulpy scifi is full of plots like that, with princesses and all. There is obvious influence of Kurosawa - I would say in the cinematic language - but those who point to ONE movie and say that this is the model are not considering pop culture as the…

Well, to be fair, people have been cynically saying that the Beatles were disposable cultural detritus destined to be abandoned in the ash-heap of history and forgotten by the passing and fickle whims of future generations since at least 1963. And yet, almost sixty years after their first album dropped, a re-release…

That seems like rather questionable logic TBH. It’s a historical document concerning the personal relationship between two of the twentieth century’s most famous and influential artists. There doesn’t have to be “new developments” for people to take an interest in it; the whole point of artifacts like this is that…

Your points are salient, but the eye thing was distracting. It basically hangs an entirely unnecessary weight on the movie that it struggles to carry.

More fun facts: in Japan, the film was released as “Samurai of the Desert”.

I am fucking stunned this wasn’t a slideshow.

I sat down for Get Back. I love The Beatles but I’m not standing for 8 hours.

I’m more into ass-movie movies myself, but I’m glad everybody’s getting a little of what they’re into
