Loder really was a top-notch anchor—or whatever the MTV equivalent would be—and his announcement that Cobain was dead was Cronkitesque. Soren had her moments, too. 

My partner jokes that I am like, the only person who watches MTV Classic, which in fact plays nothing but videos in hour-long blocks. It’s good background noise and/or fun for the “oh yeah, I remember that video!” moments.

I mean, I can certainly see my day being ruined and my mood turned sour by a phone call from Chet.

He deserved better.

Stunned it’s not a slideshow

The current Lucasfilm division must hold some kind of record for announcing films and then shelving them. They’ve run through a swath of the biggest directors and producers in the business and can’t even get into preproduction for a film that moves anything forward. 

Really, the only place that beard style is appropriate is on an 18th century naval vessel.

“That movie holds a particular fascination with the public that we do not share”
- The Coen Bros.

Two things can be true: the writing on Wednesday was not good, and also even mediocre writers don’t deserve to be treated like temp workers.

Booksmart! She was so great in that. (That’s a really great movie in general.)

Jurassic World really felt like the point where he said “Fuck everything people love about me, I want to just be the cool douchebro now!”

I don’t think it’s all unearned. The church he famously attends (attended?) is famous in it’s own right for it’s treatment of people it deems lesser, mostly LGBT members. His insistence to play coy and pretend like he was unaware of what his church was known for rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

I would hope so, because you’d be missing out. Most movies don’t have Chris Pratt in them. Like roughly 99.9%.

I remember someone once saying “A libertarian is an anarchist with a hard-on for capitalism.” and that’s been definition in my mind ever since.

The funny thing is, the current self-appointed face of the movement, Rand Paul, besides being an absolute moron, only follows the tenets of libertarianism when it fits his own narrative.

noone really complained about it at the time (mostly because they were complaining about everything else in thor 4) but considering the marketing i also thought it was a pretty annoying bait-and-switch.

Man, whoever looks at Melanie Lynskey and thinks "ew, gross," doesn't deserve nice things

Melanie Lynskey is hot as heck and anyone suggesting otherwise can go pound sand.

I get your point in general, but “Kendall trying to come up with an idea so crazy that it blows up the deal” isn’t really the premise here. He thinks he sees a way to goose the stock price so high that Mattson can’t buy Waystar anymore. The way he's doing it is plenty nutty, but he seems to genuinely believe he's got…

Sorry, #5 is the best—Luke v Vader in Return of the Jedi. No question.
Sure, other fights may be more visually and technically impressive, but they don’t make you *feel* anything like that one does.
It’s the final freaking boss battle in the original trilogy (the only good trilogy), which says it all.
