He could have been there for a year and I still wouldn’t have bought him joining the stupid ‘service cult’. Him running out to get a pizza so some dumb tourists could experience ‘the real chicago’ made me want to smash my tv. this show is so annoying

It’s okay, we’re all allowed to be grievously wrong sometimes.

Guy takes a popular working class restaurant and turns it into bougie fine dining only assholes can afford and we’re supposed to applaud that even though it’s one of the things destroying livability in our cities

I’m reminded of an old quote from Charlton Heston (and I’m paraphrasing a bit here): “I never had any illusions about my ability as an actor, but I showed up sober & on time, had my lines memorized, I hit my marks, and I filled out a toga”.

It’s borderline refreshing to hear a story of a major Hollywood celebrity who’s just kinda shitty to work with. Like, not quietly racist / misogynitic / homophobic / transphobic, not a secret QAnon dipshit, not flexing his status for sexual favor, not an Armie Hammer-style sex cannibal. Just a chronically late dick, us…

IMO it’s not about it feeling fresh or not, Love and Thunder is just a poorly written and directed movie that leaned into the worst aspects of Ragnarok. It had interesting subplots with Jane’s battle with cancer and Gorr’s anger at the gods but both took a backseat to unnecessary and, frankly, annoying humor like the…

Love & Thunder’s mess is more on Taika’s shoulders. He clearly wasn’t interested in doing the film and should have said no.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Poochie episode of the Simpsons recently. It gave us so much.

“Grandma moved to Arizona” 

I thought he was un-killable.

Oh yeah apparently he is fired, ha!

The AV Club is getting rebooted.

I think an appeals court bought the argument that it was unduly difficult to secure a bond of that size from an insurer, so it was reduced in order to ensure compliance. He only has 10 more days though. And technically, he still owes the full 450mil+, this smaller amount is just so he can appeal the ruling, which…

Is there any reason you’re bending over backwards to doubt this? The site gave the show a great review.

Taking Halon’s Razor seriously was a mistake. In my experience, it’s mostly irrelevant if harm was done by malice or stupidity, partly because harm is done either way, and partly because the venn diagram between stupid and malicious people is looking more and more like a perfect circle.

It’s unfortunate that one of my favorite quotes has only recently come to be widely popular...

2028: Make it illegal to sell those godless commie LIEbral Face Hitlers(because they’ll be calling masks Face Hitlers by then)!

2020: Wearing a mask is a choice! You can wear a mask if you like; but you can’t make me wear one.

2024: I cannot be forced to sit next to someone wearing a mask! You wearing a mask is an attack on me!

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.
