This is really interesting to me, because Fey was just on Seth Meyers and they talked about how some of their writing for SNL hasn’t aged well. You would think she would be more conscious of how something like this would land, both in present day and in the future. It’s a weird joke in either context, tbh. It’s…

Perfect opportunity to do a female Bond, too. Not that we need such a thing, but it’d be fascinating to get someone like Greta Gerwig on that and just let her go nuts.

It wouldn’t be nearly as bad without the embargo, you can’t blame this strictly on communism, especially in this situation.

James Bond. Give him a Bond project that never happens

At this point I’m really in the mood for a drama that explores some interesting corner of Star Trek or an outright comedy that celebrates those bits of Trek that are both preposterous and iconic. Like a movie where the Federation steps in to prevent an interstellar war between a gangster planet and a cowboy world.

Its beyond stupid that we still have Cuba on an embargo. Just because they are communist? Hello? We import billions of shit from China. And they do a lot of TERRIBLE things to their population. Open up Cuba and they would have an instant tourist economy as its so close to the US which would help their economy and help…

It may just be because there isn’t a language barrier or the prevalence of BBC as an international new source - but we’ve obviously had a good view on the crap in the UK. Watching the Brexit drama and all that didn’t make me feel better about the US, it just echoed that there’s a few countries that like to think they…

Ok, I'm keen for this. 

Try ot read into what the article is actually about and not your outrage at clickbait headlines

The franchise owners are using the wage increase as an excuse to eliminate positions and increase profit. Profit over people, and a perfect scapegoat.

It’s just as much bullshit as when companies declare retail theft to be…

You obviously didn’t grow up anywhere near the neighborhood I did.

If the aggression was battery, then sure it would make sense that the bar owner got arrested.

Except that no battery occurred. The cop created a distraction from his inebriation by arresting the bar owner; classic bad cop behavior.

spoken like a true cis het white guy

OM-EFFIN-G! What planet do you live on? 

So... you’re presuming it’s “likely” the bar owner actually did something because of the Fuck-12 sensibilities of an internet car site comment section?

Because proof and accountability and all that stupid shit the the St. Louis PD doesn’t give a fuck about. Fuck them

Here’s a perfect example of when deploying a horn is not just appropriate, but critically necessary.

This is such a bizarre article and series of responses I had to log in to Kinja after years of frustration finally resulting in completely giving up on commenting, including countless unaccountable bounces between grays and regulars, to comment.

Saw it last night. The simple test, and what they should have put on every poster, is: if you liked Paddington 2, you’ll like Wonka.

True but Paul King managed to make two amazingly fun movies about Paddington Bear, so I’m game to see whatever he does 

Honestly, the one thing that makes me think this might actually be good is that I remember when everyone was convinced that Paddington was going to be terrible based on just the trailer and a few promo shots, only for that to end up being elevated to “beloved classic with even better sequel” status once everyone…
