oof, I hate this. +1

Lots of people are really, really invested in the idea that an R-rating validates their taste, rather than just enjoying comic book movies for what they are. There are scads of Venom fans out there who bitched endlessly that the movie — despite starring a character who comfortably existed in Code-approved comics until…

In Winter Soldier, they explicitly state that she was born in 1984. Not that they won’t fine a way to wiggle out of that, but still.

This was my first thought, as well.

Don’t know. I’m in the same boat. Every time he comes up, it seems like he’s referred to as “rock star” without ever having produced anything that made it outside a beardy rock critic circle jerk.

My friends and I used to refer to these folks as “Iris H-Men,” after a fella we know who had one or two Irish ancestors or something and got “Irishman” tattooed across his fingers.

Yeah, Kavanagh is a toady, but Gorsuch seems smart enough to realize that what goes around comes around, and that setting this precedent up on a tee for a future Democratic president is not the way to go.

I’m a Laker fan, and I knew Jerry West was going to end up pulling this off the moment the Lakers said, “nah, we’re good” when he showed interest in coming back, and he walked across the hall to hang with the Clips.

Oh, absolutely. But I was stunned that ANY of those guys actually said it.

All the #NeverTrump guys are like this. They can never take that final step. And they’ll never be asked to. The only one who’s come close is Frum, who was very anti-Tea Party and (moderately) pro-health care at the time, and even he started wrote an article called “In Defense of Howard Schultz” recently. Joe…

Didn’t Sean Penn also get weirdly snippy at Chris Rock for making a pretty mild joke about Jude Law being in seemingly every movie that came out one year? What’s his deal?

Pfeiffer, in particular, I think was being pushed as an “It Girl” for a while, and that undercut a lot of the respect she should have gotten for how damn good she is. It’s amazing to me that, for as iconic as her performance in Batman Returns is, she *still* doesn’t get nearly the credit she deserves for how fucking…

His goal is to warn the Democrats not to move to the left. I don’t think he’s popular enough to split any tickets, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s deluded enough to think he has a chance to. So either the Dems go with, like, Biden or something, or Schultz runs with the hope that he can either A) win (lol), or B)…

I’m assuming he means the “gentleman’s sweep,” in which a team goes up 3-0 then basically takes a game off before finishing it off in five. But yeah, that need’s fixing.

I agree. Pat Patriot is dorky, but in a charming sort of way. The current uniforms are just the worst kind of ‘90s-style “cram in everything and use muted colors unless it’s TEAL” design. The Patriots and Broncos would both look worlds better if they went back to their old uniforms full time, but the fact that neither…

Ain’t a single pronoun anywhere in there, man.

Lakers fan here, can confirm — signing LeBron (i.e. LeBron decided he wanted to move to LA) is currently papering over a LOT of bad Laker moves. I mean, hell, I get that hindsight is 20-20, but imagine how much better off they’d be right now if they kept DeAngelo Russell and Julius Randle? I realize Russell wasn’t…

“Independents” are almost invariably Republicans who are too squeamish to just come out and declare it.

Yeah, but that’s the price of politics. No use in pointing out that Reagan was hot garbage at this juncture, because too many people have a saintly view of him and would just see her kicking a corpse. I wish she just wouldn’t have mentioned him at all, but from a “come together” point of view, I can understand where…
