He’ll always be Dave from Titus to me.

I didn’t read it as sarcastic, more resigned. Let me put it like this: one of the best MST3K episodes has several school shooting jokes because in the 90s school shootings weren’t a daily occurrence that the state was seemingly powerless to stop. They were rare: so rare that one could be flippant without it being read…

Real paintball players wear all kinds of protective gear because those things HURT.

Not to get all ‘A Christmas Story’ or anything, but you can damage someone with those things. They’re not Nerf guns.

oops you just failed your police officer exam

That wasn’t created specially for the trailer, they just reshot the entire third act and that part wasn’t left in.

As a Brit raised on Kate Bush, it pissed me off as well to read stuff online about people listening to her stuff for the first time and the fanbois going “oh you only like her because of Stranger Things.”

Not to mention Kung Fu! Which was why it was bizarre in the terrible Jaden Smith reboot of The Karate Kid (with Jackie Chan as the Pat Morita character) that it was about learning Kung Fu (Chinese) despite still being called The Karate Kid despite Karate being Japanese.

Well, the original Top Gun was definitely a movie-length Navy recruitment commercial. Although I haven't seen Maverick yet (waiting for the hype to die down), I’m sure it has some “propagandistic” aspects. But Lockheed Martin? They, along with Raytheon, pretty much already have the DoD’s testicles in a vise, so who…

I’m embarrassed to admit that after I saw the movie, I went out and bought an F-35 Lightning II. My wife was pissed to say the least.

Wasn’t Rick and Evelyn’s son in Mummy 2?

I’m guessing the scale of those controversies feels different if you don’t regularly visit film websites. I don’t personally know anyone who gives a shit who’s playing the Little Mermaid, and it’s only a big deal to a smattering of Twitter weirdoes, emotionally stunted racists, and bored entertainment reporters who…

It’s not a fucking sitcom on NBC, and his theatrical movie career is hardly over.

I recognize that it’s hard to think otherwise due to the vitriol of the haters, but I think a lot more people liked Lost Jedi than is advertised. The problem is that the discourse became a poisoned well almost instantly.

It would have helped if she’d had a selection from which to choose. Action lead roles for women are pretty sparse, now and in 2002

If you’re experiencing symptoms like “full body aches” it’s bad enough that you should avoid spreading it, whether it’s COVID or flu or anything else.

Definitely not the fault of the actress. They should have sent her home because making people work when they're obviously ill is fucking ridonkulous. 

Listening to your employees is a core principle of good management. Even if you know exactly what you are going to do regardless of what they say, people want to be heard. If you can establish that you understand their concerns, it does wonders for morale.

The human brain isn’t fully developed until around age 25-26, so you really shouldn’t be listening to the 24 year old either, if that’s your criterion.

Don’t want creative inputs from a 14 year old? Don't hire 14 year olds in creative positions and expect them to work like morons without any opinions of their own.
