It's embittered nerds all the way down.

At this point, complaining about complaints about The Simpsons is just as much of a brave and interesting stance. It's pretty much voting for Kang vs. Kodos.

If that were the reason, he would have left years ago.

I kinda liked the idea that Shearer did his voice parts while waiting in line at the post office.

Yet another thing white people have ruined.

Yeah, like three.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

I think she's actually a perfect symbol for a certain kind of feminism that has been unabashedly racist while trying to advance the rights and freedoms of white women.

Yeah, it's not the tattoo part that bothers me, but how neat and well-designed this ink looks. If the Joker has tattoos, they're going to be prison tats that are probably ugly as shit.

Yeah, Ledger's Joker looked crazy and unstable. The Glasgow Smile was menacing. Leto's immaculate tattoos and shaved pits seem silly.

What's funny about boxed mac 'n' cheese is that it's not that much easier or more convenient than making it from scratch. Ditto boxed cake/brownie/muffin mix.

minced garlic + boxed mac 'n' cheese (not the orange kind) + fresh ground pepper

The texture is repulsive to me. It's…springier than meat should be. People who say it's close to human flesh are probably right.

Stockholm syndrome

It's easy to avoid certain American crap foods if you grow up in an immigrant family. I was in my 20s before I tried the blue box. I don't think I've ever eaten a Twinkie either.

Yeah, all those Ron Paul libertarians migrated to Reddit's sweaty embrace a long time ago.

I wonder about the original audience for this movie. Their expectations for the film and preconceived notions about Kubrick and Spielberg probably had a lot to do with the negative reception. I think it'd be interesting to take a bunch of people who hated this movie as a teenager or twenty-something and have them…

What a weird response to this piece. Art criticism is entirely based on opinion. I don't know why you're mistaking assertions of opinion with assertions of fact.

I think people's brains shut down when they hear certain trigger words. Spielberg = sentimental schmaltz. Kubrick = enigmatic, technical brilliance ergo, a Spielberg ending to an unfinished Kubrick film must be sappy and nonsensical, evidence to the contrary be damned.

Of course not. HBO was just trying to sex things up for no particular reason, as usual.
