Trading Places is one of the best comedies of all times, and it’s definitely not solely because of Murphy. Denholm Elliott, Jamie Lee Curtis, Paul Gleeson, Aykroyd are all perfection in their roles. Ameche and Bellamy as well. It’s my go-to example of what I dislike about so many current comedies that are all improv…

Maybe this is where I finally begin to understand the distaste some old-school fans have for the trope subversion of “The Last Jedi.” Every positive you just listed is for me a negative. (Not saying you’re wrong; I realize that it’s just Not For Me.)

I have never understood the love for “Skyfall.” What’s a Bond film that subverts the Bond tropes? A spy flick. If not for the Aston Martin DB-5 and someone called “M,” one could’ve convinced me that this was an entry in the Bourne series or any other secret-agent action franchise. Granted, I am an old-school Bond fan…

Oh this one. Can’t say I liked it. Bond is such a fuckup. Everyone he tries to protect dies. Not to mention that Underground train disaster. Was all that on purpose? Were they telling a story about how someone with confidence and charisma can rise to the top of his field even when fucking up all the time? Or did they…

Skyfall just falls apart however when you look at the plot for five seconds and realise the villain’s plan that requires, years ahead of time, politicians meeting at a certain time in a certain building, M not losing her job prior to the film due to budget cuts, the tube running on time, Q opening a file at a certain…

The guy who was my Dad for 20 years sexually abused me, but he was just my step-dad, so I guess it doesn't count, definitely not weird

Hoo boy, the Louis CK fanboys are out in force today. You guys should get together with the Kevin Spacey and R. Kelly stans and start a social movement or something.

I know I have done my fair share of stupid shit but I’ve never exposed myself and masturbated in front of female comedians then used my power and influence to threaten their careers if they ever tell anyone.

Are you really trying to “who among us” over a guy who cornered women, masturbated at them against their will, and then used his power to cover it up and intimidate anyone who tried to come forward?

Though ultimately I agree with your spirit of he who is without sin let him cast the fist stone, I can safely say that though I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life, thankfully nothing as bad as sexually harassing a whole bunch of people. It’s possible that the holier than thou attitude is a matter of degrees of…

Well, I’ll let them defend themselves if they choose, but I’d like individual obits and a page linking to them. The site redesign has helped, but I still miss a lot more articles than I did in the past.  

It really didn’t read to me like they were complaining about individual obits, only that a list of them would also illustrate the gravity of the situation.

my mouse only has 5 buttons

I live in Scotland, where higher education and healthcare are both free. So... you are objectively absolutely wrong. If you want to talk Venezuela or Cuba and what went wrong there, look in to American policy towards those countries. It’s similar to what happened to Haiti after the slave revolt. Put simply, which…

“There is no country in the western world that offers 100% free education and health care.”

L. O. L. That you think democratic socialists are Leninists. Here’s a hint: democratic socialists with the roses is exactly what Scandanavia is. 

She’s clearly not advocating (or amplifying) anything on either of those extremes. Redistribution of wealth can happen within ‘regulated capitalism’, it is incredibly disingenuous to equate socialist economic policies with extreme authoritarian politics. There is literally no need to extrapolate that far. Grow up. 

What isn’t helping the trans acceptance movement is condescension such as yours: “amusing”, “worldwide pronoun freakout”.

Yes because”alpha males” feel the need to let everyone know their dominant status by driving really stupid OTT trucks...../s. Is this 7th grade?

LOL, wut?
