What, did Ron Jeremy have a scheduling conflict?

That’s basically the new conservative grifter tactic. Step 1, find someone objectively terrible, step 2, proudly associate yourself with them, step 3, complain you’re being ‘cancelled’ whenever anyone brings it up, step 4, get elected president and profit.

I still don’t get the need for directors to keep giving this incredibly lukewarm take. Yeah it sucks that the movie you made, a labor of love, didn’t get a full theatrical run. But also...cope. It’s not personal. It’s the result of a global pandemic that has killed ~4.5 million people (so far).

I’ll take “victim blaming” for 1000, Mayim.

she ended up putting out a statement last year claiming that she is not, and has never been, an anti-vaxxer

The Mike Richards debacle almost seems manufactured to make Mayim Bialik — anti-vax, slut shaming, IDF-supporting, “brain supplement” shilling — feel more palatable as a host. And it worked!

That’s one of the things that I’ve wondered as a fan of the show. I mean, the humor is often centered around people saying cringe-worthy and rude things to others and that’s where the uncomfortable laughter comes from. When the joke is about, say, Kevin not being that bright, it’s clearly a character saying something…

Oh, don’t do that. Homophobia doesn’t literally mean scared of gay people. The phrasing is also used to refer to dislike or prejudice. This isn’t new, and you’re being disingenuous.

It’s a joke that is right in line with countless Phyllis jokes or having Meredith say in her experience, guys prefer having sex in positions where they can’t see your face. They didn’t shy away from jokes that were flat out mean to the performers. 

The first episode is based on an incident from last year where a couple of NYPD officers faked being poisoned by Shake Shack, potentially putting the store and its employees in danger, in an effort to perpetuate a narrative that cops were under attack and were, you know, the real victims in society.

Oh jebus fucking cripes Gossar. So your wife looked at your credit card bill and got pissed, leave the rest of us out of it. In what way is OnlyFans “online prostitution”?

No wonder his family hates him. 

What I can’t wrap my mind around is that in order to make themselves a better investment, they destroyed the part of their business that makes them profitable in the first place. And what is so staggering to me is that I’m certain some investors are still going to see fit dumbing a ton of money in this thing.

“Have Gamora back by 11, or I’ll replace another one of Nebula’s body parts with cybernetics.”

I love that Keaton frames his disclaimer about not wanting to be seen as being “too cool” for superhero movies in the least cool way possible. “I don’t say it like, I’m too groovy.’” TOO GROOVY. Awesome. I love Michael Keaton.

And given what Keaton says here, that “don’t give a fuck” attitude serves his character well. He knows who Spiderman is and doesn’t give a shit. You mention anything involving Thanos or Kang and he’s like “The fuck? Hey, I’m just here to get paid. All that crap? Not my problem.” 

Fascinating. For my money, though, there aren’t a lot of MCU villains more threatening than Adrian Toomes (Kilgrave, Thanos and Killmonger, maybe), and a lot of that is because of his performance.

Keaton’s lingua franca is incredibly refreshing. I also love that his understanding of the MCU/DCU is only slightly better than my dad’s.

Waiting to see if his defense is, “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, while she may have been twelve at the time, we seek to prove that she ached just like a woman, yes she did, she took just like a woman, yes she did, and she made love just like a woman, but she-actually, I’d like to withdraw my statement.”
