“This is a preview of what Ron DeSantis’ America would look like.”
I hate to break it to you, but this is what America looks like right now. 

You can’t be this credulous. 

Young and younger do not mean the same thing. Here’s a fun Hollywood Example to help you pop culture obsessives remember the difference:

Michael Caine is younger than Dick VanDyke.
Michael Caine is not young, as he is 89 fucking years old.

I suppose I’m still straddling the line between giving up on changing peoples minds, and actively contributing to their delusions. But by all means, keep making COVID jokes from 2021 with my blessing.

You know that these words are on the internet, where anyone can read them, right? Confirmation bias is a motherfucker. All these dummies need to see is one person that proves their point and that’s all they’ll see. 

Yes.

Funny, yes, but also gives the dipshit COVID truthers ammunition to say that the pro-science side doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Easterling’s story includes less hard evidence

Ah ha! FKA Palladia, yes, I know this channel, and I have it through my (which is to say, my neighbor’s) cable package. That said, right now it’s showing Rock Icons: Ted Nugent, so, yeah, I’ll be changing the channel.

Ayyyyy they still have video music awards, they don’t even show videos any more, wocka wocka!

There, now no one else has to say it.

Listen, I loved her in Wet Hot American Summer as much as the next guy, but with a filmography that includes Project 43, Pitch Perfect 2, Charlie’s Angels, and Cocaine Bear, is it possible that Banks just isn’t that talented a filmmaker?

No focus, excessive dependence on one-liners.

Pretty much the only redeeming thing about Blow IMO

I agree with you that the interim agreements are a great bargaining tool and object lesson, I do understand the controversy.

A lot of workers that need the money are out of work, and there are only so many waiver-qualifying productions out there, so some folks are eating and some aren’t, and there’s not much anyone in…

This right here. The arbitrary lines where people choose to stop suspending disbelief always surprise me.

Stages were raked so that audiences on the flat viewing surfaces could view the whole stage more easily. Now, it’s more common for seating areas to be raked, and for stages to be flat. Not sure whether or not the raked stage was the source for upstage and downstage, though.

But, yeah, chucking garbage at entertainers…

Live action like 2019's The Lion King was live action.

My first brush with this phenomenon was Punch Drunk Love. Saw it in a mostly-empty theater, me and my wife, and two BIG Adam Sandler fans a few rows back, forcing laughs every time his character got angry. They ended up walking out about half-way through.

Super niche pet peeve, but as someone who sincerely enjoys Nic Cage’s bonkers-ass performances, it bums me out to sit in a theater full of people guffawing at his choices.
