The consistent failure to hyphenate Feyd-Rautha bothers me more than it probably should.

Don’t get me wrong; for a scowling villain she’s excellently handled by the writers and the actor.

He did get saddled with the 2016-2020 years, which lasted about five centuries. I don’t blame him for not wanting to deal with another Trump candidacy where the satire is real and there’s nothing you can say to mock it that won’t eventually come out of a Republican’s mouth.

I feel like I should post the Dennis Hopper / Christopher Walken history lesson scene from True Romance here, but will refrain.

I think you’re spot on about the internet hate machine being to blame for this. Negativity generates clicks, clicks generate money, and before you know it so many people are pouring their time and energy into performative outrage that is insanely out of proportion. There are whole channels who are now dedicated to…

It seems unlikely that the massive review bombing campaign that occurred before any episodes aired are the result of legitimate criticisms of the show.

Europe always had POC and evidence of them was intentionally and systematically removed from the historical record in the 19th century by racist historians in Europe and the U.S.

Fair. I will say that I doubt many of the racist, sexist ragey manbabies who thrive on how hateful the interwebs are care one whit for Tolkein or Rings of Power. It’s about fueling hate and then profiting from that hate. Watch the trailer for Rings of Power, and your youtube front page will suddenly feature racist &…

“The average dumbfu-k US kid has retained more about US history”

Is the problem that late night hosts are “more left” or that the political right is a fucking shitshow?

Sounds like a dog whistle. 

interesting that you chose McCain as a Republican Jon Stewart had on his show, if he were still alive he’d absolutely be leading the charge against Cult 45, and would probably be one of the few voices the media would pay attention to. Instead we got stuck with his hairbrained “look at me, I just said something…

Noah is an appealing TV personality, but I always felt like the public discourse lost something when Stewart stepped down. Back during the W era, Stewart would absolutely flay conservative guests, who would keep coming back for the publicity. Early in the Trump administration, Noah repeatedly shared his platform with…

Interesting. I found his outsider’s perspective refreshing, especially considering most other late night show hosts are American.

If there’s one thing I know about the guy who masterminded the incredibly successful and profitable Infinity Saga, it’s that he has no idea what he’s doing!

Disagree. Jon Bernthal might be less pretty than Chris Messina, somehow that ruggedness makes him hotter.

Lars may have lost one, I don’t recall when he entered Metallica but that has a death, and Travis Barker was the only survivor in a straight up plane crash with a side project. I think this show went further than anyone realizes. I’m kinda devastated 

Yes, I noticed that, too. Almost nobody mentioned it (I think Geddy Lee), but almost everybody on stage had, at some point, lost a band member or collaborator. In addition to those you mentioned, Chrissie Hynde, John Paul Jones, Joe Walsh, Brian May and Roger Taylor, and of course, Paul McCartney ... hell, Pat Smear…

This was an emotional rollercoaster. I watched the entire 6+ hour thing, and I went back when CBS aired the 1 hr produced version tonight.

He became good friends with Foo Fighters and especially Taylor after they were on the same SNL episode. He was convinced to do a shaky cover of Creep at a huge Foo Fighters concert when they started doing karaoke with each other.
