If you’ve been watching the movie closely, you will have noticed that Netanyahu has bolstered Hamas’ status in the region, because the alternative (a stable, prosperous, globally recognized Palestinian government) does not serve his interests.

Giving every asshole a global voice, and allowing them to be anonymous in the process. What could go wrong? We need to figure out away to make bigots feel shame again, to make them worry that their abominable speech may well earn them a poke in the nose. 

Conversely, Israel could end this tomorrow by . . . ending it tomorrow.

True story: I was standing outside of Chief’s in Downtown Nashville for ~10 minutes on Friday night, and, yes, I am glad that that is not when Morgan Wallen threw a chair from the 6th floor.

“Camp requires intentionality”

By whose definition? Sontag made the distinction between “naïve camp” and “deliberate camp” as the writer seems to do here. 

They’re still plugging along, but it’s the vaguely soulless Conde Nast version of the last few years. 

“It creates a lot more friction than it deserves given how little influence it had on pop culture or gender dynamics relative to the amount of blather it generates.”

Never took you for a dude bro, and sorry if my tone implied that I did. My fault for commenting before breakfast/coffee. I’m mostly just ground down by the Opinion Industrial Complex that is the social internet experience in 2024, and I unfortunately spend a lot of time in MUCH more toxic comment sections than this one…

there’s a certain pushback against men who talk about this that it “never happened” or some dumb shit. It did.

You are not. Comments were missing until earlier today. I was kind of relieved, honestly, but not as relieved as I am to see them back!

It’s absolutely true that some folks with legitimate critiques of the film were unfairly lumped in with the misogynistic shitbags. I hope you’ll reserve at least a little of your indignation for said shitbags, the ones that bag on any woman-lead genre film from the second it’s announced, making it exceedingly to tell…

Anyone that is that insistent that they aren’t drunk is absolutely drunk. In other news, what an utter child. 

There’ve been persistent rumors that he’ll appear as Mephisto in an upcoming MCU show or movie (or both.) You’ll see and hear a lot more of him in the next year or three.

Just for future reference: If you hear people talking about misogynists, and you’re not one, then they’re not talking about you. No reason to get your feelings hurt. 

Who’s to say that she sat on it? She’s probably been telling this story to friends and coworkers for years. Furthermore, she doesn’t seem like she’s trying to make news here, or she would have put it on Xitter or put out a press release. This is just an actress, on a podcast, relating a personal experience. Shit…

Came here to say this. 

Why stop with the conservative shitbag men of Hollywood? Gina Carano as the no-nonsense bar owner with the mona lisa smile! Stacy Dash as the ditzy mechanic that all the men underestimate! Kristy Swanson as Allen’s ex-wife, who, despite all his flaws, still loves him! Put them all in one place and maybe a meteor will…

At the end of each episode, he visits the aged mechanic who taught him the tricks of the trade, played by the inimitable James Woods.

10 years ago, AV Club would have 100% covered it. They stopped covering anything outside of the mainstream of pop/nerd culture years ago. (I miss Noel Murray.)

EEAAO was easier to follow than this article. Jesus.
