Speaking of the opposite of things that weren't initially well received but have become classics, Avatar is getting like 4 sequels, right? Predator's fast pace and badass action scenes make it the kind of movie I'll watch if I'm bored and it's on, whereas I wouldn't even think twice about watching Avatar if it was on

Well, Rolling Stones are superior in every way, but sure.

I still think they should have tweaked Captain America 2 slightly to make it a Black Widow movie. Less about Bucky nonsense and more about the spy plotline with BW leading the charge. That would have at least helped MCU's female lead problem.

Yesterday I had a PB&J on a sesame seed hamburger bun. It was okay.

Man, the early 90s Feds were real pieces of shit.

That makes sense. Re intentionality of CK vs the flippancy of use from Maher. My general confusion comes from commentary about how it's never okay for white people to use, but there does seem to be leeway for people like CK. As a white dude it's not up to me regardless.

I'm sure this has been asked but I'm ignorant. Is it still okay that Louis CK used the n-word in some of his jokes? Like, I don't think any white people should use the word, but there was no where near the outrage with Louis. I honestly just don't get when outrage comes or what is the determinative factor.

I hope they don't change course and make this too serious. I mean, come on, it's about a superpowered king from a fake African country with a magic suit. I just want this to be cool like all the recent cheesy MCU films (and hopefully Ragnarok).

MARY POPPINS WILL HAVE HER REVENGE ON LONDON IN 2018

Her shoes are red because she's a Trump loving Republican, therefore it's okay to make fun of her appearance.

I disagree.

Eh, art has no duty to extol appropriate morality. And counter-counter argument: revenge is bad.

I've grappled with this issue as well. I think Hollywood's (and culture, generally) peddling stories of redemptive violence have linked with the gun love to create ideas in many people's minds that not only are guns cool, but they can be necessary. Most people won't buy a gun because they're cool, they'll buy one

I agree - I heard your mother was in the ocean, too.

This was the best thing to happen online yesterday. It showed that many people are more dumb than me, which always makes me happy.

I guarantee Netflix tracks whether a show gets unique or new viewers. If a show has a fan base but isn't drawing in new customers, no reason to keep it.

Mustachioed James Franco is like an attractive Thomas Haden Church

I have not seen either. She's one of those celebrities I've always known about my entire life but have no clue why. Nothing against her just don't know why I know her.
