“No, Logan Roy, old man river, did not come up with the speakers and the blasting of “Rape Me” by Nirvana. That was such an obvious troll move/Kendall special.”

So, we all agree the music was 100% manipulation by Logan, right?

I agree, I’m not sure Kendall really did set up those speakers during the townhall.

For the Stones, there is always Sympathy for the Devil.

Little Fang is such a great pick Cameron. What a little gem in the Animal Collective discog.

This is an easy one. Bauhaus: “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”. Video from The Hunger with Catherine Deneuve, Bowie and Sarandon. Full of vampires and hot AF.

this is true, but i also don’t remember the commentariat way-back-when being so defensive and insulted when the newswires were snarky. in the reviews themselves when the fans showed up sure, but most people knew that snarky newswires were more like threads for us to comment on and for the site to gain traffic rather…

Did he pitch the word ‘meretricious’ to the Succession screenwriters or did you steal it off them, because I’m not sure I’d ever heard the word before this week and now it’s appeared twice, once from Brian Cox and once from onscreen brother James Cromwell.

Meh, I didn’t plan on seeing it anyway and even if it is awful so many people who are not serious reviewers but count as reviewers will give it a positive spin so it doesn’t go below 50%. I don’t plan on seeing this just like I didn’t see Black Widow or Shang Chi and haven’t watched the TV shows.

Actually, this might be the least-douchiest thing he’s ever written. Completely inessential and pointless, sure, but on the obnoxiousness scale, this really only gets maybe four or five out of ten possible Barsantis.

I know a lot of young twentysomethings who fell hook, line, and sinker for the Wayfair child smuggling hoax, and even some who didn’t specifically buy into that still earnestly hashtagged “Save Our Children” for months. A few were Trumpers already, but more of them were Anti-Trump in one form or another. All of them…

There’s kinda layers to this, wherein the films themselves aren’t necessarily propaganda, but the ip is gleefully leveraged for shit like recruiting ads. I put it down to the company as a whole being an amoral business entity, rather than the creators within it.

That guy had a pretty shit take but also it's pretty shitty how closely Disney/Marvel is playing with the Military's recruiting arm. I also don't really think any marvel movie is super pro military. Iron Man 1 is literally about a PMC selling weapons to terrorists

We’re the ones who like all the depressing songs and we like to sing along and we like to shoot our guns

I wonder if the adaptation excised the novel’s homoerotic undertones or if the reviewer just...failed to notice.

James Cromwell said “That’ll do.” HOW IS THAT NOT THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY????!!!!

Thank you for your service. 

I think Bottle Rocket may appeal more to people (like me) who aren’t really Wes Anderson fans.

That first story sure didn’t read the comment about extraneous details, Christ.
