“I understand what Mr. Tarantino was trying to do,” followed by a paragraph demonstrating how exactly Shannon Lee doesn’t understand what he was trying to do.

He probably would have “stopped commenting” on Bruce Lee if Shannon hadn’t wildly overreacted to the OUATIH scene and created a controversy that he keeps getting asked about and forced to comment on.

The most ludicrous part is that QT is complaining about some of the AV Club’s own favorite punching bags: commercialization, people not taking COVID restrictions seriously, the loss of the communal experience of going to the movies, etc. But because he’s a white guy in his 50s all Barsanti can see is the opportunity…

Not only should you be able to order nachos and margaritas in a movie theater you should be able to order them everywhere; synagogue, court, mortuary, McDonalds, even my cousin Patty’s studio apartment. Nachos and sweet alcoholic drinks on demand is a human right.  

...and thus, the A/V club's "Hot takes on Quentin Tarantino" summer continued unabated by self-awareness.

I actually liked this one a fair bit - it was kind of creative connecting emotional commitment to the environment to how Rick and Morty and Summer’s relationships, and the bit about Planetina being the only person Morty’s met who takes him seriously felt real enough to be poignant. It does feel a little bit like a…

lmao GMG sites do this constantly. No one on the AV Club actually cares they are platforming fuckwits through this because they operate in peak performative outrage anyway. Kotaku regularly does articles about dipshit streamers and youtubers while making sure to post links to all of their stuff.

“I’m a little hesitant to talk about this because I don’t want this to be the only thing that people pull from this show,” says Tarantino, before making a statement practically guaranteed to be the only thing that people pull from his nearly three-hour conversation with Rogan.

For a simple article about a pithy bullshit reality show about vacuous beautiful people, this was pretty difficult to read. Maybe throttle back on the pleonasm. 

I’m liking the recognition for Promising Young Woman. More of a genre movie than they usually go for. 

Racism! White Supremacy! White Nationalism! Bigotry! Neo-Nazis! “Actual” Nazis! KKK! Cross-burning! Stormfront! S.S.!

Deplatforming is the answer to defusing the power of the far right. The problem is, it only works when everyone is on board. When mass media continues to give white supremacist demagogues high visibility, any attempt to ignore them is fruitless. What we should be working toward is making people like Carlson too toxic…

So, haven’t watched the video yet, but does he address the title question ?

but Metallica no longer has shit to say about their loss to Jethro Tull after this.

Post-Fascist America: oh if only that rapper hadn’t made songs ridiculing self-righteous pearl clutchers for his entire career!

Okay, so they didn’t do Community. But they did Happy Endings. That’s cool.

Look, I try to be open-minded and sex-positive and whatever the fuck, but then I read an advice column where a person’s husband is sexting their own cousin and the response is that they should look up the legal definition of cousin-fucking and twist themselves into knots to arrive at a place where you can sext your…
