“We should respect the privacy of a 40-year-old man having phone sex with a 14-year-old girl” is certainly an interesting take!

Really stretching the definition of news here
Yeah. I’ve disagreed with a lot of articles here, but this is the first time I’ve thought “I know they have have a button to flag inappropriate comments, but do they have one to flag inappropriate articles?” Sadly, they don’t, but Sam’s summary in the first paragraph is so maliciously inaccurate that Neeson could and…
“Decided to commit a racist murder” is an awfully inflammatory way to say, “entertained a revenge fantasy against a different race after the rape of his friend by someone of that race.”
Neeson then tried to explain himself, saying he’s not racist and that he did “seek help” and talk to people about what was going through his head when it all happened “nearly 40 years ago.”
We called it in the last article. Now let’s see how many more articles AV Club/Kinja pumps out about Neeson being such a virulent racist because he had one racist thought over 50 years ago that’s he’s terribly ashamed of now.
Saw the Apollo 11 moon landing live on television. That was 50 years - half a fucking century - ago. Welcome to the long, slow, crawl down hill.
THE AV CLUB
Fuck off fuck off fuck off. The complaints about Dowd’s reviews long ago went from mildly irritating and weirdly obsessive to actively bitter and insane. Go back to posting screeds on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ok, so apart from Glass, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, A Star Is Born, Roma, If Beale Street Could Talk, First Man, The Predator (?!), M:I -Fallout, Unfriended: Dark Web, The First Purge, The Incredibles 2, Burning, BlacKkKlansman, Rampage, A Quiet Place, Ready Player One, Isle of Dogs, Annihilation, Hereditary,…
Dowd has recently given positive reviews to Glass, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, A Star Is Born, Roma, If Beale Street Could Talk, First Man, The Predator (?!), M:I - Fallout, Unfriended: Dark Web, The First Purge, The Incredibles 2, Burning, BlacKkKlansman, Rampage, A Quiet Place, Ready Player One, Isle of Dogs,…
As soon as I saw this negative review I knew The Gentleman wouldn’t like it. Why do you continue to comment about a reviewer you obviously hate? You seem to actively hate Dowd. Find something that makes you happy. Life’s too short to be bitter and joyless. Turn that frown upside down, buckaroo!!
Tonight’s episode was great. I haven’t felt this giddy about Star Trek since I was 12 and Voyager was still a thing. I guess Discovery isn’t for everyone.
I pressed that little star 101 times on your comment, but it doesn’t seem to be working, because it only added one star.
I’m enjoying the series so far, and here’s an idea for those that aren’t enjoying it: stop watching it. Really. Life is too short.
The episodes are getting better.
I feel like we’re not watching the same show. I don’t disagree that the character exploration is shallow, but the show has branched greatly in terms of giving the relatively large cast their own moments this season... it’s a slow drip, but I’m really enjoying the entire cast. I thought this episode’s story did a great…
Another for the “bizarrely angry Discovery review” pile. This one is better at seeming like it’s not a “waaaaah this doesn’t make me feel like TNG made me feel when I was 9" screed than the ones on Reddit, but that’s all this is.
