that is an amazing thought experiment—if Mike Myers and Sandler teamed up to make a movie, would Netflix wildly overpay for it, or would someone in the decision-making chain finally step up (a la Scott Evil) and blurt out “oh COME ON!!!” LOL

that’s just bad taste, not appreciating the absurd

I like to think that whatever it cost Netflix to lure Myers out of retirement to make this self-indulgent turd was what put Netflix in such economic trouble recently LOL

Yeaah the trailer looked abysmal: This show might be a good idea of like Taika Waititi was doing it or something, but Mike Meyers has been a comedy black hole for a long time.

At least Netflix is making the right creative decisions in a time like this. Oh wait.

Maybe if he grew as a performer? It’s pretty discouraging to see “starring Mike Myers, Mike Myers, AND Mike Myers”.

Maybe this is a bad take but... Mike Myers stopped right around the time I outgrew his brand of comedy. No offense to the guy but he doesn’t seem like a relevant movie star anymore. I have no interest in some kind of Mike Myers comeback. Like it’s cool that he wants to get paid and stuff but like.... I don’t need it. 

Yes, I’m sure Mike Myers is trying to make a statement on “White Male Obsolescence”.

After calling Black Adam “the Dirty Harry of the DC Universe,” which we assume means he’s an abusive, borderline sociopathic police officer

I think the expected response from Cult 45 of “FINALLY, sanity prevails” is just a more diluted version of “the cruelty is the point”. Getting to sneer at or mock anyone who might not want Covid or long Covid or who may be immune compromised is part of their strut now, and if they get it or a family member gets it and…

What totally scares me too is that cases are so dramatically under-reported now that we have at home tests and people have just stopped giving a shit. It is such a false sense of security as the data we’re seeing probably doesn’t even represent 30% of those testing positive. Ugh.

The best part, for me, with regards to the feelings part is that these are the same folks who would bark at “snowflakes” for being too sensitive when people tell racist jokes or don’t take people’s feelings into consideration. But when it comes to how they feel, well, that’s not the same.. oi

I think you’d be surprised just how much of a cultural moment JK Rowling’s attack on transpeople was for younger people, at least in the UK (trans-rights in the last two-three years has basically become the major generation dividing issue in terms of social views in the UK now).

Why are we acting like it’s weird that noted hate-crime enthusiast Mark Wahlberg is enjoying being in a movie with noted anti-Semite Mel Gibson?

This is true, but stand-up comedy is unique in that it requires you to buy into the comedian’s personality and thought processes significantly more than with a musician or a painter. It’s much harder to separate the artist from the art when so much of the art is the artist.

If a CEO embezzles a shitload of money, they probably shouldn’t be a CEO again and people tend to be justifiably outraged when something like that happens.

Nonsense, no one owes him a jhob back in the field where he harassed women.

They can answer it however they want. However, not wanting to give it to someone who sexually harassed women, including women who merely trying to do their job in the same field the award is in, is a perfectly valid response. 

Nice try, Louis.
