I know you’re taking a lot of heat here, but I’m with you. There are probably better places for a bunch of white people to exploit for money and with infinite choices it’s hard to see why they thought this was a good idea.

No Varsity Blues? How do you even talk about football movies without talking about Varsity Blues. This list might as well not exist.

It’s clear he should have just buckled down and become an accountant.

The director would be the connection. I find that it’s an enjoyable thought exercise. Mine would be Fincher with Alien 3 and The Game as the alternative. I know he didn’t win an Oscar like the directors from the list but he probably should have.

Great book, middling movie.

Cinderella Man is also fantastic and I feel like it’s mostly forgotten despite being very popular when it was released.

Given all the things he managed to achieve in his life he definitely had agency enough to consent. Weird, regressive ableist take.

The dad is clearly a creepy stalker and a protagonist.

This is the weirdest take I’ve seen in a long time.

I think you could make a case for Hitler being left open as a target for satire and discussion whereas the swastika is what it is and more likely to be used in a way that’s pro Nazi.

Ah yes, the thrill of resource management.

Do we agree with these gamers or are we calling them entitled? It seems like we’re calling all gamers who complain entitled lately. Or is it because a handful of them didn’t send death threats so we can’t blame everyone who has an issue?

It’s weird that the responsibility for racism is constantly shifted to white people instead of people just accepting that they too are capable of racism.
