I think one of the greatest misapprehensions about critics is that they don’t enjoy what they enjoy—or that we are seeking to break into your house and steal your joy from you.

I’ve never really been bothered by the champagne socialists. You do you so long as you keep spreading the word and don’t bitch about taxes.

No there are 3 groups:

- normal people who think it’s nice he was able to buy a house in the city he lives in and understand how much money he makes because it’s been transparent the whole time.

- always online parasocial leftist weirdos who feel like they can dictate how and where he lives his life (he doesn’t know who…

So it looks like we have two sides

Not that this article does this, but the initial coverage of the whole country’s brain breaking over Epstein’s very obvious murder referring to it as a “conspiracy theory” is one of the things that convinced me. Like, I know it’s a conspiracy theory by definition, but the lack of incredulity from mainstream sources…

But the finale concluded the series so gracefully! Kind of a bummer.

Might as well have gone all the way and called it “Titled Goose Game: Itazura Gachou ga Yattekita”

This just made these games 1 billion times more interesting. Would have preferred Super Mario World sprites for some consistency tho.

I mean, could you imagine if they had canceled Bojack after 1 season? It had neither the viewers nor the critical success in season 1.

As always, I am hesitant to reply to comments with the knowledge that the Kinja system elevates Staff contributions and thus the comments themselves, but I want to address this since I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times in my notifications.

“I know it wasn’t too dark because I shot it.”

In many peoples’ cases this was 100% an encoding issue. The blacks were these shitty, pixelation-plagued bands of gradients instead of anything looking remotely HD, and the storm clouds were even worse - there were as many pixelation blocks as there were snowflakes! Whenever you’d get anything remotely well-lit and…

Hayes and his wife and kid were semi-regulars at the restaurant I worked at a few years ago. Besides being super nice and easy going, they tipped anywhere between 40-50% every time (except once when he tipped $100 on a $20 meal).

Given Brawl in Cell Block 99's languorous pacing issues—we don’t hear the words “Cell Block 99" until an hour into the movie—this will be 2 hours and 20 minutes of small talk and then 20 minutes of skulls caving in.

Imagine fucking a PR bit so badly that you have to say this:

Mom's Spaghetti: A Netflix Original Series

Aaron Sorkin poisoned the minds of a certain class of young liberal. The kind who now think that “doing politics” means technocrats working in a K-Street-and-West-Wing bubble, where the people actually impacted by the decisions you make are uneducated rabble who deserve nothing but scorn and disdain, and where all it…

I am flippin’ vibrating. I am so excited. This idea of a Hornet mode was stretch goal from the kickstarter, then it was going to be DLC, and people felt like it was just going to be like Richter mode in SotN. Instead, we get... ALL THIS. A whole all out sequel. I feel like getting a Team Cherry tattoo.

I don’t think the article implies otherwise, only that a period piece that is a satirical comedy of manners set among British aristocracy belongs to the “Jane Austen tradition”.
