The death of Ian Holm prompted me to pull out the Alien DVD set. Then because I had the set out, I also watched Aliens. Alien 3 is on deck for today.

Every fucking morning I turn on the news and hope the breaking story is that they found him dead on the toilet.

Eventually, AV Club reviews will be *just* the trigger warnings about the parts that “haven’t aged well.” “Beware: the female characters in this movie fail to treat James Franco’s character as a sexually unacceptable creep. Scarlett Johansson’s character is never forced to repent for the actress’s sinful statements

That fucking movie drives me crazy from the minute it starts. I’m consistently annoyed by Tom Cruise and his air-punching Master of the Universe characters, and Dustin Hoffman is annoying after five minutes. I think Hoffman can be a genuinely great actor, but this is more like a stunt than a performance. You sit there

I’m going off the review’s commentary, but yeah that seems completely unnecessary.  I think a better angle would be that the Vietnamese themselves seemed to have largely moved on and would be confused by a bunch of guys still living it out.

arguing that this mass grassroots uprising against police brutality and white supremacy is actually some sort of top-down conspiracy coordinated by wealthy elites

It’s been kind of amazing to watch pundits like Carlson et al - in addition to regular workaday Karens - and see genuine fear. Not just the performative shorts filling they typically work in, but real, honest to god terror.

Tucker always has the confused look of a man who finally saw another man’s penis and realized how tiny his is.

Damn! It’s been 20 years since this movie came out?? I’m old.... Where’s my heart meds? Where’s my walker? Nurse! Nurse! It’s cold in here!

As their entire joke of an ‘ideology’ is nothing but blatant logical contradictions and outright unexamined hypocrisies, i think it’s a bit beyond their intellectual reckoning.

I finally got around to watching Joker last week and was shocked at how shallow and predictable it was. I couldn’t help but think “THIS is supposed to be controversial/provocative?”.

No surprise that Trump spoke with Putin the same day this all went down.

Did you read the f*cking article? Get out of here with that bullshit.

Right. Unfortunately, Trump is one of the many faces of our country- he is a daily reminder of why we can't stop fighting to attain or maintain equal treatment for those who are persecuted by people like him- if his ideas were unpopular, he would not be where he is now.

Trump is a virulent racist and bigot. And millions of people voted for him. You can debate how many voted for him explicitly because of his racism but all who support him are and always have been complicit. The only thing Trump has been consistently honest about is what a garbage human he is. He never stops telling us

Worst commercial of the year? The Trump campaign hasn’t even started airing ads yet. “Trump 2020: Upskirts for America” might well end up being the campaign slogan. 

Ccriminal Minds was a terrible show , pretty much ‘45 minutes of horrible sadism, weekly’ that glorified serial killers. And Mandy P is right too , it was misogynistic as hell....
