“I’m Wilford Brimley, and I’ve had black lung for about 20 years now. I use Liberty Medical for all my black lung testing supplies.”

On a geologic time scale . . .

Tom Sawyer?!?! #notmyleague

Baldwin’s line reading of, “Normally he’s a very nice guy. Don’t judge him from this meeting alone,” about Dignam always cracks me up.

Is it weird that this movie seems to misunderstand the concept of Magical Negroes that it is supposedly sending up? Black people having to expend a lot of effort to make white people feel secure in their presence is surely a real thing, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with the term.

There’s a weird conservative tendency to think they are being attacked by simply being in a presence of someone who they assume has more liberal values than they do.

“Esteemed, old, white, male directors are owed the unquestioned obedience of their actors.” — the AV Club, when it doesn’t like the actor.

I’m not sure it’s so much that we have “amnesia” about Wahlberg’s crimes, as that we’re not sure what consequences you think he should suffer for them now.

I’m not a Wahlberg fan generally, but he’s funny and memorable in the Dignam role. He makes a big impression in a short amount of time on screen, in a cast that is utterly stacked.  Stealing scenes that have DiCaprio, Baldwin, and Sheen in them is quite a feat.

Da fuq’s a “gross jersey?”

Obviously, we’re trafficking in kind of broad stereotypes here. Most women, men, and LGBT individuals do a fine job being level-headed and civil online, and no one should be defined by the worst segments of the communities they belong to.

I think it has much of the same quality as the hatred of Chris Pratt for . . . appearing in a lot of popular movies, and being Christian. Like, do you remember the AV Club’s response to Pratt having the lead role in the Mario movie?

I’m just going to assume, for the sake of not bashing my head against a wall, that you aren’t saying we should hate Anne Hathaway because you found an episode of Between Two Ferns she was on “cringe.”

It’s worth a shot.  I’m not even wedded to the idea of making money off it.

So it was you I saw Love Lies Bleeding with!

2035 opening sentence: “David Dastmalchian — an actor who is somehow fine with computers taking the jobs of actors — will appear in Ant-Man 7: Adrian’s Revenge.”

What history? The history of . . . online commentary about the 2016 movie Ghostbusters? We’re not arguing about, like, the outcome of the 2020 election here. There is no objective measurement of what people were saying about Ghostbusters in 2016.

Has anyone else noticed that the box urging us to sign up for “AV Club Insider” seems to reset the auto-numbering of the list every week, so that the last items start again at number 1? So here, Cabrini is number 1, when it’s supposed to be number 9.

I think it’s more a writing problem than a math problem. There’s a perfectly coherent argument that can be made here that Frozen Empire’s opening weekend isn’t great. You just have to use normal sentences. Just say, “Frozen Empire made more in its opening weekend than its predecessor. It’s unclear if that puts the…
