Yes my friend is Brett Ratner. And I’m going to marry a carrot.

Are all Adam McKay projects gonna be satire-for-dummies from now on?

So many takes here, but I think the only good one is to wish him well, since none of this is really anyone’s business. I guess that could be said for any celebrity gossip though.

I don’t usually get into celeb discourse. But in this case, I happen to know multiple people who have had dealings with Olivia Munn, and let's just say she's probably in the bottom 5 % of people to latch onto after recovery, much less have a baby with. I don't and can't know John, so I have no idea what type of person…

And yet somehow, I bet this star-studded Netflix movie will feel strangely small and hollow, then disappear from the social consciousness within two weeks.

I’ve seen people reference this and ... I mean, I haven’t seen or read every interview or piece of standup he’s ever done, but in all his filmed standup specials, my recollection is that if he brings it up it’s as “we’re not planning to have kids.” In one he explicitly then says “what, never? I dunno, people change.”…

It’s pretty easy for you to judge and dismiss things from where you’re positioned in this parasocial relationship. While certainly not as damaging as an addiction to cocaine, parasocial relationships and sitting so far stop a high horse in judgment of complete strangers are unhealthy and, in their own way, addictive…

I went to rehab for cocaine as well, I’m approaching a year and I’ve basically had to reduce a lot of things in my life that feel like I’m performing for people (work events, stepping down from roles in friends weddings, summer BBQ’s, dates). I can’t imagine being a literal a performer struggling with cocaine abuse.…

Sadly, this is 100% textbook behavior of what recovery therapists refer to as “flight to health”. The grandiloquent epiphanies, entering a serious romantic/sexual relationship, the recovering addict impregnates their the partner, and the addict elevating the partner to savior status are all enormous, post-active addict…

good, maybe donald can drop out next and then the project can be canceled!

1 and 3 are the only ones remotely watchable

Sad but not totally surprising, since they both have such distinctive creative voices and seem to know what they want to do early on in their projects (both Fleabag and Atlanta are remarkably assured from the jump).  Like Scorsese making a movie with the Coens, you both want to see it and kind of understand why it…

Back when smoking was cool.

Just watched Pierre LF yesterday, and my movie store started running a full retrospective of all his films just last week.

With all that AV Club money the above still was the best you could buy?

Great, who’s going to be the sine qua non of cool now?

With shades of “Wayne’s World” too.

Maybe because he actually stuck to the bit in "Contemporary American Poultry" instead of randomly smashing it together with a Voltron parody.

I’m glad the R&M fandom has died down a bit, but it’s funny to see the commenters show up and say “no, you just didn’t GET this part of the episode,” and the others who say “there’s nothing to get, you’re overthinking it.” I’m on the side of the first couple of seasons being marginally better, because it dabbled in…

I think my least favorite of the season so far. I don’t mind when the episode is less joke/gag heavy if the focus is the story, but even the story here was pretty lackluster. In the behind the scenes segment the crew was chatting about how complex and beautiful some of the scenes were, but it was peppered with so many…
