It depends what you mean by "classic." His stuff was consistently great through the '00s.

Even Spielberg haters (who, in my experience with them, are self-conscious intellectual-poseurs) would have trouble denying that he has a distinctive authorial stamp. He's the opposite of a hack.

Paul Feig's gender and racial identity are irrelevant, but you're right that he's a hack director, and that's my real worry here. His movies have no rhythm or visual style, and are always twenty minutes too long.

Out of curiosity, how old were people who consider Sister Act 2 an era defining film when it opened? I was 14 in December 1993, and it wasn't a movie many at my middle school ever talked about, and I still haven't seen it. Like, people a couple years younger than me are obsessed with The Sandlot—wondering if this is…

HEATHERS remains a favoured film amongst people in their forties trying to prove their individuality against the Reagan/Bush Sr. Presidencies,

It's very underrated, but if you don't want to see it because it's a kid's movie, you probably won't like it.

It's like they're writing it around potential gifs. Non-stop mugging.

This show is annoying now. Like, in the way that a mime is annoying. The most recent episode was as humanly unrecognizable as Anchorman 2.

VenDerWerff came off as a guy you didn't really want to argue with just because he was polite. Rabin bought his own hype to a more worrying degree.

I had a similar experience. Full House was one of the only shows I wasn't allowed to watch, because my dad didn't want me to be an idiot. He also liked Wonder Years, and later, Home Improvement.

It was cool when superhero movies and TV series were an exciting break from the norm and not the de facto standard for everything.

There's room for both of them. GIRLS is more aggravating, but darker and "relatable." BROAD CITY is the modern female BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD.

I disagree with the premise of this review. It applies to a lot of other movies about witches (Lords of Salem, Hocus Pocus), but not really this one. The family has also been persecuted, and the inclusion of a witch depends on our knowledge of how innocent people were treated in history due to prejudice, so it's a…

There's an optimism and innocence (which is actually a result of maturity) to E-mo-tion that doesn't feel like an act. Unlike pop ice queens Swift, Gaga, Rihanna, Halsey, et al., Jepsen isn't curating a segregational toxic message of "I'm awesome; fuck you." It's the first pop album I've heard in a while that's…

E-mo-tion is consistently stratospheric, imo.

Yeah, after that terrible Sin City sequel!

I think it depends on how it's being used. I've seen dude used derogatorily online over the past couple years, too. But both terms also still get said in a more casual, friendly sense.

I should add that I've mostly been told to smile by homeless people, which makes me let it slide.

It's happened to me a bunch of times actually. Kinda bugs me to know I'm depressing people when I thought I was in a good enough mood.

I found the kids to be SO NOT FUN, that the segment wasn't fun. They didn't even react. Complete brainwashed robots.
