This is low-grade sophistry. Let’s go with your theories:

No President is capable of doing much of anything directly. They’re entirely dependent on a massive administration led by individuals that they choose to manage the staff in their departments. This thing that you’re dismissing as overblown is an example of Donald…

Are we getting term limits for lobbyists too? Or do you just want to feed a bunch of n00bs to deep-pocketed, seasoned pros?

He moved from the suburbs to the city to be closer to Black culture and ended up appropriating Confederate culture instead.

Also, Kid Rock grew up in a Detroit suburb and moved to DJ to be closer to B-boy culture. Let that sink in:

Rich, suburban midwestern kid moved to Detroit to be closer to Black culture and ended up proudly minstrel-showing his way to riches in front of a Confederate Battle Flag.

“I think everyone should view the confederate flag as a 100% racist symbol, and people have no excuses to ignore this.”

Do yourself a favor: Stand on that. The rest of what you typed was just “some stuff” to allow space for some of the people who were in your life growing up to not be thaaaaaat racist.

We’re not closer…

Messy, sure. The galaxy far, far away seems small if everyone’s motivation is that of an NPC.

Inconsistent? You’re not as convincing on that point. One can’t extol the powers of cinema on one hand and also suggest that it’s a good thing that someone with incredible clout and power within an industry made shitty choices…

Yawn. If they’re a sisterhood... as long as the show isn’t called “Dune: Brotherhood,” I don’t really see this as the issue you think it is. It’s a show about the origins of a sisterhood. They didn’t need “sisterhood” in the title and they also didn’t need to edit the dialogue to de-emphasize the focus on the…

The anonymous part is the issue I have with your take. Sure, sure: Opinions, assholes, etc. You wanna ridicule and blow off steam in the group text? Go for it. But I literally don’t wanna hear a goddamned word about someone doing something “inefficiently” when that someone is a subject matter expert and you’ll be…

She might also be a candyass. She walks around with that face, but I’m guessing no one punches her in it and she probably didn’t go to Dook, so...

Agreed. I have no issues whatsoever with the offering of additional information that dispels the worst and most obvious conclusion, especially when that leap lands one in the wrong place. I don’t understand the complaint, honestly...

This assertion is illogical. If you’re going to accuse someone of clickbait, understand clickbait. No clicks are ever driven by what is in the fourth, or fifth, or sixteenth paragraph of a piece.They didn’t insinuate or dispel anything of the sort in the headline or the blurb, which is the only thing that would…

I don’t understand this complaint. She was vague. People speculated. She clarified. Their coverage of this isn’t a furtherance of a rumor, it’s dispelling one.

Uninterested Spouse should have spotted you a few hours so that you could see the Shai-hulud in glorious IMAX.

I normally disbelieve a high percentage of anecdotes I read on the Internet, but this sounds like something a cop would be comfortable saying. Doubly so with LAPD.

More often than not, the loudest voices offering these complaints are doing so before a season has been concluded, as though they’ve never studied things like foreshadowing, unreliable narration, or misdirection. I wouldn’t trust those people to write a postcard home from the loveliest place on the planet.

Not sure where you live, but “where you live” has gotta be the only factor in whether or not this movie was available in theaters long enough. I’ve got a ticket to an 8:30pm Dune 2 screening for tonight in a shopping cart right now. If I go, it will be my third time seeing it on the big screen. I’ve already seen it in…

Before we get to whether anyone should be impressed by this, we should be asking whether any of this is true and why any of it matters. He wants his reputation restored but he doesn’t want to take accountability for what he did, so he’s hiding behind something completely irrelevant that he says he did. Life doesn’t…

Strategery in a nutshell: It’s either true or it’s not, but if it’s true, that’s better kept as a secret, never to be spoken of in polite company with anything other than revulsion and dismissiveness. If it’s NOT true, then it’s a lie - widely broadcast as a truth by someone with credibility - expressed as a HORRIBLE…

Rap beef is not supposed to be and has never been about making club music. But please, tell us more...

The ACTUAL problem is when Drake forgets that he told his listeners the truth (he’s a sensitive soft boy), and tries to craft a dangerous mafioso narrative around himself, as though the people he wants to find the latter compelling are totally unaware of the former. He’s so insecure about his place that he tries to…
