Eh, that timeframe was probably peak Kilmer, what with Tombstone, Batman, and Heat hitting in the same span of time. I can see where there might’ve been a bit of “hot shit” mentality going on.

REVOLT seems like she needs to meet a better caliber of men, or experience more than a handful of schmucks before passing judgment onto the entire XY chromosome spread.

Sure. But there’s a massive differnece between “the five men i’ve fucked are shitty lovers” and “i know that because the five men i’ve fucked are shitty lovers, all men are shitty lovers, and as a result, i hate men.”

I liked Hannah Gadsby’s act just fine. I didn’t consider it “comedy” though. Because it’s not. But I liked it.

“The best comedy comes from punching up, not down.”

Who the hell invented this fucking rule?

The best comedy comes from being funny. 

The best comedy comes from being very funny and knowing how to compose good comedy and have timing, not adhering to some culturally sensitive mandate prescribed by armchair sociologists online.

Here’s what George Carlin actually had to say about all of this: you can joke about anything, if it’s funny. You want to say Chappelle wasn’t funny? Fair enough and I don’t necessarily disagree. But who is anyone to say what can and cannot be joked about?

While his Macaulay Culkin reasoning is obviously wrong - it’s a comedy special after all - I strongly agree with his dismissal of Leaving Neverland, which presents half-truths without context and outright lies.

It’s not a these-are-the-facts documentary, it’s a biased piece circulating around two men who have a lot to…

There are problems with pretending that the people who refine and popularize are also the people who have the key foundational insights (and we almost ALWAYS do this for every major discovery and invention), but on the other hand, there are usually MANY other people who have those key insights but only rarely do they…

In more ways than one, in that the pendulum has swung toward downplaying the contributions of Lee and Gygax in the interest in getting retribution for Kirby and Arneson. It’s unquestionable that Gygax unfairly exploited Arneson’s work and concealed his contributions, but I also think that Kuntz clearly has a tendency…

<i>“The mechanics don’t matter,” said Secrets of Blackmoor director Morgan. “The reason why I know the mechanics don’t matter when you’re looking at the research in roleplaying games is once D&D was released, you end up with a mass of copy games coming out and they all have different mechanics. But they’re all using…

Everybody calls Rob Kuntz last, he says.

This comes off as a bunch of old men squabbling over the fact that one of them is remembered while the others were forgotten.

He did indeed use the term “wankiness.” I confirmed with him during the phone call, and again during fact-checking with him.

In the canon of Swift videos, You Belong with Me is pretty huge, and pretty iconic. Also, as good as Single Ladies sounds and looks, that’s a dumb-ass song with shit lyrics (not that Swift’s is much better). Anyway, Pink’s song and video that year (So What) is more fun than either of them by a long stretch, which…

Kanye was not right.

Shitty pop over shitty hip hop. Who cares? The only thing that made it notable was the first overt signs of West’s mental issues.

To tack onto my last post, here’s what JC Lee is accused of (per CBR.com, summarizing a Hollywood Reporter Article):

In other words, that million a year Marvel was dishing out to Stan didn’t transfer to her.

Given Joan’s role in the stuff that went on around the end of his life, I’m not inclined to look seriously at her speaking for her father.
