I get there’s some problematic ‘Mayor Pete’ items, certainly w/r/t how he’s overseen South Bend... but can we all agree *any* one of the Dem candidates is better than Trump? Do we have to find the “insufferable asshole” in every candidate (aside from, I presume, each piece’s author’s preferred candidate)?

Dude, what the hell? Did Buttigieg kill your puppy? If you’re trying to pull a hit piece on this guy you’re not doing a very good job. Then again I’m part of the problem since I clicked on this awful click bait title.

No, same. I also now want a whiskey library.

If you’re an asshole, then so am I. 

We are about to eat our candidates again. If you had a company, you’d never hire Trump to run it. If someone in your personal life bragged or lied like Trump, you’d never hang out with them. The person I knew in college that bragged and lied like that was known as “Annoying Man” by me and my friends. Yet somehow this…

Actually all these anecdotes make me like him, and up until now I was more or less indifferent. Maybe I’m also an asshole?

Exactly—not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination. But pretty as hell (wigs or not) and a great deal of fun. I got to see Queen live, once, and it was a Very. Big. Deal. in my life. I did not expect great cinema from this movie; I did not get great cinema; I did not care.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s one of the very few times that I’ve gone to a movie panned by my favorite critics and had the exact different reaction to them. I found it extremely moving.

Okay, I did see this movie, after reading all the criticism about it and you know what? It’s a damn good movie, very enjoyable, and Rami Malek does an amazing job. I don’t think they make it look like his sexuality is why he died, but they don’t focus a lot on his death in general. They focus on his life, which…

What’s quality got to do with it?
