I can see George Lucas watching this episode and nodding gravely at what a deep predicament the UN chief has found himself in. Surely no other human being on Earth (and definitely not on Mars) gives a shit.

Yeah, even if I thought it was a silly distraction, it’s infinitely better than a line of dialogue saying the same thing.

Ok mate cool your jets, I reckon they’ve got the same vibe.

“In the end, Scandal wasn’t a show that followed a black woman’s achievements. It was a soap opera that simply used race as a manipulative device when the script couldn’t make sense of the show’s events.”

My mother died a year ago yesterday. You’re a piece of shit for taking a cheap shot like that. Don’t ever make a disgusting comment like that again, to me or anyone else.

Who am I in four movies: Wall-e, Cries and whispers, Jiro dreams of sushi, blade runner 2049

The sequence with the tools flying everywhere was just so dumb. I’m glad you guys came away feeling some good tension (I’m not being sarcastic). But I couldn’t feel anything.

Yeah, you shouldn’t shit on anyone.

The Wu-Tang Clan are already a pretty big part of my life. But fuck, “I knew Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Ol’ Dirty Bastard was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Ol’ Dirty Bastard.” takes it to a whole new level.

Laserface, you’re on the right side of this issue. Lashing out at “stupid white men” over and over makes you sound like someone having a meltdown over the idea that race had anything to do with that time two black guys got arrested for sitting in a Starbucks for 15 minutes.

I wish I was with you (because I think it’s about what is right), but twitter has destroyed both sides of these culture wars.

A show that mauls the emotions of its most dedicated fans is a show I like to watch.

T.J. Miller’s off screen self destruction aside, the show without him and Jian-Yang at war is way, way worse off. If they now lost Zach Woods my desire to continue watching would evaporate.

Even though its dialogue is among the worst of any series I’ve ever seen, The 100 deserves a lot of credit for its ambitious commitment to high stakes (which has waxed and waned over time but is undeniable) and its realisation that the calculated and regretful death of young characters is much scarier and more…

I thought Silent Running was terrible. I’d avoided Brainstorm, but you reminded me of it (the watch this columns are really valuable, thanks), and I’m happy to give Turnbull another chance.

The only rush I’ve ever got about tennis outside actually watching men’s singles is David Foster Wallace writing about early Federer. I had always been kind of transfixed watching Federer, effortless yes, but with a crushing degree of strength, and DFW nailed the feeling. I am so pleased he’s back. Nadal, Kyrgios,…

What’s the story with Jane Got a Gun? I haven’t seen it. IMDb hasn’t got her name attached to it either. Fired early in development?

Watched this last night. About 15 minutes in, after the very pretty opening music, as a little guitar riff in the first acoustic music started, and a bass line appeared underneath, I thought “damn, this is Jonny Greenwood’s sound, I’ll forgive the ripoff because it’s just so good”. Finished the movie, watched the end…

Ahh... ok? The book at its core is about masculinity. The edgelords foaming over the Ghostbusters genderswap reboot had no legs to stand on. Now you’ve handed them a brand new pair of legs. Thanks, Disney.

I spent two years of my life wearing an opioid patch. I have no idea how you went from Conway’s “a street drug laced with fentanyl” to Duragesic, a fentanyl patch you buy from a pharmacy. Therapeutic opioid preparations are not laced with anything.
