You’re telling me that a stuffed shirt who writes art criticism for the gate keepiest of gate keeper publications had an issue with an outsider critiquing a venerated artist’s work? I am floored.

The Brooklyn Museum has been a sad place for years now.

I really like Gadsby and Nanette, but if the criticism cited here is accurate, then yea the exhibit sounds lazy and flat out bad. Which is a shame for obvious reasons, but also because I don’t want to be put on the same side of an issue as Gadsby’s critics, who up until now have mostly just been terrible people. 

“I’m not challenged by the content of that special, it’s the audience who’s too comfortable watching it!”

Seriously that’s absolute crap.

“What Gadsby did was give the audience permission—moral permission—to turn their backs on what challenged them, and to ennoble a preference for comfort and kitsch,” Farago writes of Nanette”

All Jesse Armstrong knows how to write are unlikable characters who never experience personal growth, but are so pathetic that the audience cannot help but root for them in their weakest moments (re: Peep Show). 

Can someone please make a movie palatable to kids and adults that isn’t over two hours long? Is there any reason this needs to be 40 minutes longer than the original?

It’s a shame we don’t have Christopher Plummer around anymore to step in when situations like this arise.  

No one believes you. 

Honestly, the Republicans are the only people making this a political thing. Literally nobody else has a problem with this. For 30+ years, Ariel, who is a mermaid (which also isn’t real), was represented as a white character and now these people are losing their shit because the live action version features a black…

“only a violent sex idiot can play this role”

ok then don’t make the movie

What’s the point of being in the multiverse era of D.C. and Marvel if we don’t use it to free ourselves of problematic actors in these franchises? It could be literally anyone now and you don’t even have to do any gymnastics to justify recasting someone. I thought they should have CG’d Tig Notaro in for Ezra Miller in…

Lindelof and Cuse essentially say “How could I know I was a dick on a show I was running if nobody told me?!”

Hit dog barking here!  We got a hit dog barking here!

Everybody else finally learning the lesson that Rotten Tomatoes learned in 2019 after Captain Marvel: Make people prove they saw the movie before they rate it.

It’s hard to imagine Hannah Waddingham not having chemistry with anyone.

As the show gets longer and duller, their scenes together remain a bright spot.

It undermines how much I care about Keeley’s romantic relationships a bit that Juno Temple’s chemistry with Hannah Waddingham is so electric. Holy smokeshows
