I’m willing to give Cage, Hoult, Chris McKay, hell, even Awkwafina, all kinds of benefit of the doubt, but this looks fucking terrible.

In their early synthpop stage . . . and this wierd plastic goth/stadium rock hybrid they subsequently turned into

Some people really, really like Depeche Mode. Others don’t. For me, and many I know, DM were absolutely an “essential band of the 80s.” Other people I know hate DM with an intense passion. Others have no idea who they are. I’d imagine that shakes out roughly the same in the UK, but I could be wrong, I suppose.

Both for Disney and for fans, the answer to “why people get excited about Star Wars” is “Because it’s Star Wars.” Speaking only for myself, though, I don’t mind the long break between movies. There was a 16 year gap between the original and prequel trilogies, and 10 years between the prequels and the sequels. Find…

Amazon Prime used to be good for this as well, but they they tried to get all respectable. I just wanna watch Joysticks!

KEEP CIRCULATING THE TAPES!

As a fan of terrible midnight movies, The Room is fucking unwatchable, and not in a funny way. Give me Troll 2 or Lady Streetfighter any day.

I’d argue that she’s not quite as insidious as Rogan, but there’s absolutely a line to be drawn from OW platforming pseudoscience and new age bullshit, and the increasing mistrust in scientific institutions and, by extension, life saving medical therapies like, oh, I don’t know, just pulling an example out of the air,…

On the one hand, I love Chris O’Dowd. On the other hand, there’s a non-zero chance that this program will force me to reflect on my own life choices.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Just feels like there’s a whole lot of confirmation bias in the discourse. Yes, there is nepotism in every business, but there are far more people who’ve been successful without connections than those that have, not to mention MANY “nepo babies” who have failed miserably. 

Came here to say this. 

Kudos on making it to Season 15.

A popular game from a decade ago.

Sounds good!
