When Sympathy for the De Vile started playing I’m pretty sure I audibly groaned loud enough that the whole theater heard me

personally I believe it came out and sucked, and valve has since men-in-black’d the planet to protect their rep

The vaccines are not 100% effective, I know, but the CDC has said vaxxed people are highly unlikely to catch covid, and if they do they are highly unlikely to have serious symptoms or pass it on...

another day, another comments section on a pop culture blog where the commenters stumble over each other to hate a bastion of pop culture culture.

Yes. They’re used for “buggies.” We’ll go with that.

With so many distractions, theaters offer an opportunity to just be me and the movie. I don’t have to worry about my phone, my laptop where I could be working, being too loud for my kids, or anything.  It’s just me and the movie.  That’s impossible at home 

After a year and a half of not getting sick, the longest I can remember in all 38 years of it, masks are gonna be with me for a while. As for cinemas, they’re dead to me. I was basically only ever going to Marvel movies anyway. But the experience at home is much more superior. Yeah I’ll miss cheering with the crowds,…

I think I understand your point of view. But here’s mine:

I don’t quite understand this pervasive attitude of: “I’m vaccinated, but I just can’t trust these other people.”

Probably true for most, but I think they’re wrong. Those movies are still better at a theater. I saw Nomadland at the movies. No way I don’t look at my tablet two to three times if I watched that at home. Can’t gasp with 20 other people when she shit in a bucket. Communal, dark room is still superior for all types of…

Really wanted to like it. Found it aggressively insufferable.

Hot Take: It’s okay.

I just didn’t find it very funny. Glad you did, though.

We rag on Chris Pratt all the time—rightfully so—but whenever I rewatch Parks and Recreation, I totally fall in love with Andy Dwyer. It makes perfect sense why people thought he’d make a great movie star. Pratt as an overgrown puppy is always fun, but he’s never gotten that kind of role since—with Guardians being the…

It’s called a hand wedge.  Totally legal.

I feel the same, but not necessarily because it’s a step down.  I think it will turn her into a different kind of comedian.  The best thing about her humor is that she is such a delightful surprise.  You honestly never know what will come out of her mouth.  She will have to tame that instinct to do a daytime talk…

I see they’re trotted out the old “Hamas HQ” chestnut. Isn’t if funny how 100% of the people IDF takes out end up being high ranking members of Hamas? Like infants even.

But, the real question is if Israel reacted with restraint would that help keep Netanyahu in power after he was unable to form a government — war keeps right wing strong men in power. Especially when the one party that would put the opposition in power is an Arab party that has become persona non grata after this new…

No, this is fine... I mean, I wouldn’t want to be called anti-Semitic for criticizing Israel, so this is all fine.
