If that cadence is untenable at your current staffing levels, there’s been what...6000 people involved in game development enter the job hunt recently.

I liked some of Picard as well, but it consistently managed to take whatever goodwill it generated and flush it out an airlock.

Please. Stop. Now.

My sincere hope is the site is not just back but returns to some of the former quality and insight that made it a an outsized-pop culture staple. Frankly the site had been in decline for years before its shuttering. I don’t mean to shit on you or any other writers who, I gather, have been working under less-than-ideal…

Maybe with the exception of Christmas Shoes being number 1. They got that one right, what a terrible, terrible song that is. 

I don’t get the inclusion of Mistress for Christmas. While it’s not a song I love, it’s exactly what one would want or expect from an AC/DC Christmas song.

It’s a very good album and I’m really enjoying it. Would I rank it up there with their best albums? No, but anyone expecting them to release another Sticky Fingers at this point in their career is being unrealistic. I’m just super stoked to have a new album by The Stones in ‘23 that I genuinely enjoy, it’s a gift! 

That’s a fair point, i think some of it is on the filmmaker depicting a character as a nuanced person vs. a canvas for all negativity a given identity faces. Reminds me of dueling ruth bader ginsburg biopics from a few years ago. One was a extremely one dimensional culture warrior film (every single male in the movie…

I think of that if I was to write a story about say, a trans historical figure.  I don't want every story to be a miserable one about society being cruel, but also that's what basically always happened to said historical figures so I'm not sure how to square that issue. 

Native Americans have been murdered thousands of times in movies. For once a filmmaker decided to make a movie based on a true story and to show the weight, sadness, horror and cruelty of those killings.

There is no white savior crafted for the audience like in The Last of the Mohicans or Dancing with the Wolves.

It’s…

I haven’t seen the film yet, so I can’t say whether or not the Osage characters were underdeveloped or underutilized. But if the events displayed were graphic and tragic, that’s because the real-life events were too, and it’s important that it doesn’t get forgotten.

Scientology is a helluva drug

the way actor’s brains work is so special.

Not the first monarch to have a real job - I still remember the King who secretly worked as a commercial pilot for years.

Because the fact is that, even if Frasier himself is rarely its best part (something that doesn’t bode all that well for a reboot where he’s the only returning main character, by the by), Frasier remains a shockingly good example of the sitcom form.

Anyone who thought this episode was bad, didn’t understand the show.

I agree. It’s somewhat of a departure, but it’s funny as hell, especially that Furio bit and how actual Italians and Italian-Americans have very separate hagiographies.

Also it’s 2023 and I think we all know that not getting convicted for a crime doesn’t mean you didn’t commit the crime

My gut reaction is that this won’t work without Niles. But I remember hearing the same thing 30(!) years ago when people thought Frasier wouldn’t work without the gang at Cheers to bounce off of. I’m going to try and keep an open mind about it.
