The only issues with his plan are:

Very few thought the female Ghostbusters was good, but the hype and zealot defense was real. I loved the “idea” of this season, but overall I guess I am holding on to what I felt with S1, which is dumb I know.

I think there are layers of impact and story that the male-centered gaze may sometimes undervalue, miss, or ignore, and that creates divisions between critics, female viewers, male viewers, etc.

In retrospect, what John Stewart’s run on the Daily Show did most was to highlight the futility of his particular brand of satire. That haughty, white, urban, affluent, college educated, Northeastern, always acting like they’re above-it-all, “I’m basically a moderately liberal Democrat but I come from a generation…

Frasier really needs a peer to bounce off of. Lyndhurst is great at what he’s required to do, but it’s mostly just jokes about drinking and being a bad professor which makes a poor replacement for Niles.

When would she have time to that, what with the cello lessons, the fencing lessons, the choreographing her very own stupid dance and . . . the . . . probably SCUBA lessons. OK, at this point I’m just imagining what weird things they’d have Wednesday do that Jenna would “study” to make her performance more “believable”.

Trying to kill all Jews on earth is genocide, even if you can only manage to decapitate a few babies. Trying to stop Hamas from committing genocide is not genocide, even if Hamas members are predominantly of the same ethnicity. Trying to kill Jews because they are Jews is genocide. Trying to kill Hamas members because…

Wow you're really just gagging for any excuse to support a genocide huh 

Yeah, if that one joke is about as bad as the whole special gets, then this is a non-story. (i.e. a perfect fit for The A.V. Club.) It’s just run-of-the-mill dark humor; nobody is seriously gonna interpret it as condoning domestic violence or anything.

She should not have been let go for her comments, but I’m seeing a lot of younger people on social media, including my relatives, speaking up on this conflict without any deep understanding of it. All they see are brown people being bombed and that feeds into some preconceived notions of ‘colonialism bad’ and so they e…

It’s a very tough situation.

Also, any person who has been part of a multi-union industry also knows that unless your contract is the one that is striking, you have to go back to work. The networks absolutely can force talk show hosts back. The reason they aren’t is because there are no actors to interview and they’re using it to save money on…

No solution here, which is why when I read this, I thought, you know what, maybe Maher is doing the right thing here.   The show will probably be drudgery for those who were in it for the jokes, and that will serve as an example of how important to good TV writers are, and at the same time, put some money back into…

I support the aims of the strike 100% but some of the methods kinda baffle me. Like I find it kinda insane that people are abstaining from making video reviews of new movies or even talking about them on social media because they want to be an ally, I don’t see how helping projects tank through lack of engagement and…

Why would he write a book and shit on her to this extent? How awful for her to read this now.

People do all sorts of stupid shit and justify it by “being comfortable in my own mind/body.” Wearing a see-through dress is not a personal comfort thing - it’s a provocateur action, like Sacha Baron Cohen wearing that neon green mankini was.

Except it isn’t.

Maybe there’s something else I’m missing here, but I don’t think that clearly establishing boundaries and expressing your wishes and desires counts as being emotionally abusive, even if those boundaries and wishes aren’t something the other person agrees with, or even something most people would agree with. Almost…

There’s always the question of a review’s purpose. Is a given film critic responsible to a particular readership and if so how do they measure a film in that context? Is a given film critic responsible to themselves as the one engaging the film and thus NOT beholden to the audience experience? That’s going to vary I’m…

There’s also a video out there from someone in the back filming Jada and Will and you can tell Jada was laughing after the slap.
