I see your point and respect the argument you make. I suppose for me it’s more about what kind of story you’re trying to tell—depending on the execution, the hypothetical you sketched out could be good for a story exploring the nature of evil (as you suggested), but not every story needs (or can support) an in-depth…

I always wanted a a Wheaties box with me on the cover sitting in a chair playing Dungeons and Dragons, a truly athletic pursuit!

I would like to also stump for it’s sort of companion-y series, “A History of Violence” by Tom Breihan, which was about action movies. Both were absolutely fantastic, revelatory work written by fans of the genre, well researched but accessible...this comment actually makes me think it would have been amazing to have…

I remember, when I was young, I used to be really dismissive of rom-coms. In my eyes they were all dull, formulaic fluff, good only for mindless entertainment.

This sounded much more reasonable than that, though. Like they’ll put out 2 and 3 since they’re done, and if people aren’t into it they’ll call it a day. It’s the opposite of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

The apology might be a little too much, but I think he sounds perfectly sincere. I’ve definitely over apologized for a thing if I carelessly did something that I then found out hurt someone. Especially getting a name wrong, which I’ve actually done far too often for my liking. Misnaming someone is almost entirely…

Is she saying he called her Amaya?

Saying “you too” when told to enjoy your show/meal; absolutely harmlessly inconsiderate, kinda funny depending on your mood.

I got a Community notification for this?

It’s a revival...

Plus he wasn’t even misbehaving! He was a kid sitting down. If Bill Murray had said “Seth, around here we aren’t allowed to sit on the arm of the couch,” that would be one thing. But he was pulling some bullshit celebrity nonsense about “his” seat. Fuck off, Bill Murray. I would 100% have stood behind my kid in that…

Remember the good old days when the only thing that Win Butler was accused of was stealing some dude’s basketball at the Cal Berkeley gym?
