Yeah if the film adaptation sticks to how the book sets up the different narrative voices (at least one of which is unreliable), then these reductive summaries of its plot will be pretty comical in retrospect. I only worry that they keep getting repeated and people who haven’t read the book believe them (like what’s…

Pedants don’t refer to Africa as a country; I think that troll is the word that you’re looking for. At least there’s truth in advertising (look at their Kinja handle).

Who could have imagined that we’d ever have nostalgic memories of how good AV Club: Disqus Displeasure was?

That’s the rumor. Specifically, Morgan called out Fallon for his corpsing (aka breaking) and calling attention to himself in skits by laughing even when Fallon was just in the background and not delivering lines. Here’s the quote from Morgan that’s usually cited: “laughing and all that dumb shit he used to do. He…

I could picture Sheriff Ed Tom Bell saying something like this in No Country for Old Men. Outside of that, I’m with ya; the attribution gave me pause, too.

They’re not the most exciting duo to be at the center of this thrilling adventure, though they’re at least more interesting than an attorney who defended child slavery making it out of Burning Man, but that does at least make this more funny.

According to Jason Alexander, the lack of chemistry was exactly what Larry David wanted between George and Susan:

He, Gaten Matarazzo, and Maya Hawke are collectively probably my favorite part of Stranger Things. If they wanted to do a spinoff of their further adventures, I won’t complain. (Priah Nicole Ferguson, Natalia Dyer, and the rest can drop in for visits).

Spay and neuter your pets in his honor.

I think everyone’s giving him too much credit. To me he looks like Towlie high on air duster fumes.

Elon’s puffier. 

That whole entry was dripping with nerd bait. Get half the commentariat that hated it riled up and that in turn will rile up the other half to defend it. More acrimony = more engagement. Barsanti knows where his bread is buttered.

I’ve been on a Zep kick lately. “When the Levee Breaks”, “Kashmir”, and “Immigrant Song” would be my top 3 right now.

Extremely shitty websites that I keep going to out of some misplaced feeling of nostalgia for when it was good.

She is not obligated to do so and obviously shouldn’t. Moreover, she doesn’t need to be the first to do it.

Prescriptively speaking, he’s right.

Colin Farrell earned his first Oscar nomination for 2022’s The Banshees of Inisherin, but he should have been nominated—and he should have won—for his tour de force performance in In Bruges.

Total Oscar bait—her second after the equally shitty Crash.

It can be two things, etc. We can recognize that Bullock probably knew next to nothing about the Tuohys exploiting Oher.

Exactly. On the one hand you have Gadot’s recent comments and Gunn and Safran’s earlier comments to Variety all echoing the sentiment that they all want to make a Wonder Woman sequel together someday, and on the other hand you have an unnamed source making a vague comment about how there are no plans for it at this…
