I agree. He's not someone who ever seemed to care about putting out substandard material, if that's what it was. Sadly, I couldn't even be bothered listening twice because I knew it wouldn't change my view. And I'm someone who absolutely adores most of what he's done for most the last twenty years.

Sorry, which is it? You doubt that he made the comments or you're certain he made them due to PTSD-fueled alcoholism?

"What it’s trying for, in ways that are at times corny and at times subtle, is yet another variation on a story Eastwood seems to really enjoy telling, which is a story about a man—typically a conservative man, often scarred by some kind of fighting—who does some bad things in order to make a better world, of the kind…

She already won as soon as she wrote about rebalancing her horome levels by getting her pussy steam-cleaned in a Himalayan salt brick tiled sauna.

You're right, that's one of the ugliest comments anyone's made on this site.

Is that really Kanye singing?! Could have sworn that was Sam Cooke there for a second.

Good point. Sorry, it sounded like a criticism of what you wrote, but that was just what jumped into my head.

How do you get ten Canadians to stop running drills on the monkey bars? You say, 'Hey guys, can you stop running drills on the monkey bars?'

Like Bowe Bergdahl's father! 'He looks Muslim'. No, he looks like every adult human male when they've stopped shaving.

I respectfully disagree with the review. I love most of his output since Time Out of Mind but I found this dreary and uninspired. For collectors only.

This deserves more than two upvotes. There's no justice in this world.

And yet Jim Crow persisted, didn't it? Because most southern whites had…

That's it exactly.

Yeah, he was a very good gospel singer. I prefer his version of 'Precious Lord' to Aretha's. (Not to say she wasn't the better singer, but who is?).

Sure, that's fair. I'm guessing a desire for biographical completeness for its own sake wasn't the source of the OP's indignance, though.

Is it your position that you hugely admire the courageous work that he did to advance civil rights, but that you feel that it was also important to acknowledge his personal foibles for the sake of a more complete picture of the man? Or is it more that you'd prefer a film that only dealt with those flaws so as to…

"Has it gotten so bad here that people need to be reminded constantly to be decent human beings?"

No doubt that Irish-man was coincidentally employed in @Nudeviking:disqus's shirtwaist factory before being sacked for unruly behaviour.

Swift didn't acquire the patent to red after her album of that name?

He won't stop until he's pissed all over the Western canon or someone or something more powerful than himself has intervened to stop him.
