Honestly, even if the generalization about a whole profession hadn't lost me already, the "I have never courted popularity" line would've done it. If we criticize you, maybe it's because we think your ideas have actual flaws (like treating everyone in a profession like they have the same personality), and not because…

No, but it'll give him the cheap dopamine rush of having shaken his fist at the imaginary monolithic Feminist Enemy in his head, without the annoyance and frustration of presenting his ideas in any complexity, or listening to the nuances of ours.

Now, now, we don't have to dismiss him over such a superficial trait as when he joined! There are plenty of other valid reasons to reject his crappy straw-man argument. :)

Every waking minute? Gee, no hyperbole or confirmation bias coming through in that argument at all!

Yeah, get your Bug Out Bag and leave us alone, kid. Maybe you can join the American heroes at the Malheur Refuge.

I'm sure you howled a similar sort of bloody murder every time President Bush issued a signing statement during his administration. Or is the only bad executive a liberal executive? I mean, gee, not to ascribe any base partisan motives to you…

At best, dude, you're telling us this site is subject to Poe's Law. And I think we already knew that. I sure as hell can't tell their satire from their honest opinions.

I prefer to take my film criticism from people with a little better demonstrated understanding that their opinions are subject and other people's criteria for enjoying a film may vary. You lost me at "designed for children."

Yes, because we can all see the lasting impact other high-grossers like Ghost, Armageddon, Love Story, and The Towering Inferno have had on our culture. *cough* High box office, even record-setting box office, doesn't mean a film has any longevity whatsoever — it just means it got really good marketing.

So brave.

Nope. Dog ruins it. That is entirely too happy of a puppy.

"An AV Club commenter was named Final Arbiter of Taste & Justice today, ending God's lengthy search for someone to straighten this country out. 'Respected Ancestor' will have final say on every known subject, including who should be put to death, what clothes everyone should wear, what New Romantic bands suck, and…

I think the issue is that black people have enough sense to discern irony, and it's patronizing as hell for a white woman to step in and assume they can't understand these things within a satirical context. Please don't project your own need for perfect propriety onto people who didn't ask the likes of you to defend…

I think that might be the most lucid and detailed critical defense of an Adam Sandler film ever presented.

You lost me at "no offense to Brickleberry." :)

"Can we all agree that De La Soul ______________ to excellent effect?"

I thought rotten was something punks were supposed to aspire to? Johnny, and all?

I once had a friend who liked Necco wafers. I knew a guy in college who thought Freddie Got Fingered was a misunderstood work of genius. Hell, I almost married a guy who thought it was fairly normal to apply the five-second rule to trash cans. But you're the first person I've ever met who liked Wonderful Christmastime.

The safest way I can describe it without infecting you is that it's turbo-glurge.
