But it also pointed out that the worst rom-coms are too often held against the genre as a whole in a way that doesn’t happen with other types of films.

As the member of the MCU with by far the best politics and activism: may his residual checks continue to fund Bernie Sanders, AOC, Pramila Jayapal, climate change activism, anti-fracking activism, and so much other good shit. Give this man your fucking roles and cash, Disney.

It’s the precursor the MCU stans for sure

Who do you think benefits from this? Who do you think was likely pushing it?

Yeah that movie was trash, and it’s hilarious to see him claim it’s not a “history lesson” because that’s all it is, and a mediocre one that has the Bigger Long character basically be all of the “aggressive black man after white women” stereotypes. Seems like a cool dude.

It might not even be a bad thing, if it encouraged studios to do lower-budget fare instead of a constant stream of hundred-plus-million-dollar blockbusters.

Hope all of the people who have been licking the Disney boot and getting mad at that scoundrel Scorsese are happy when his exact point about being crowded out of theaters by franchise films is taken to levels previously thought unimaginable. This shit fucking sucks.

Hey if it worked the last million times why not now?

We couldn’t possibly investigate, say, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, Steven Pinker, Alan Dershowitz, or any of the other prominent figures associated with Epstein. Gotta arrest these guys, lock em up, make sure we can stamp this one and file it as “done.”

Don’t have a clue!
I assume it’s just some kook
So we shouldn’t ask too many questions
No siree bob
Eventually this will all turn out fine
You should just wait and see!

Oh shit we’re gonna go full-on into Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

“Let people enjoy things” has become a fucking cult. Go away.

The shit that I’m always worried about is that we’ve missed some domino that will accelerate the problem by a decade or something. Like, when they first projected this shit 100 years ago they thought it would be where we’re at in like 200 years, and every projection since has been far too optimistic, of course at…

I don’t know that he would budge and diagnose it that way instead of blaming individual companies’ actions, but as an anti-capitalist I would. George Lucas talked about it in an interview a while back, how he had to sneak in the themes he wanted as opposed to the artistic freedom that was granted under the USSR (as…

This is actually much closer to Scorsese’s argument anyway. His issue was exactly yours about demos: it’s not a problem that blockbuster loudness exists, the problem is when they take up every screen of every cinema; the problem is when Disney buys one of the biggest studios that makes a lot of popular non-superhero…

Yeah the Diet Isolationism causes that, but also because he’s appointed a bunch of failsons to his state department and ambassador positions, where they exist at all, and it’s pretty obvious the military is openly contemptuous of him. Obviously I’m to some extent fine with lifelong state official ghouls who love…

Preposterous, maybe, evil fuck no. The Bush Administration put a high bar for evil, foreign policy wise, and while Obama tried with Libya and Yemen and Haiti, and Trump is giving his best with Bolivia and Syria (not to mention continuing and worsening some of the previous ones listed, or his failed attempts on…

I’m sure Clinton would make a perfectly fine president

Chris Hayes is fascinating because he’s about the furthest left pundit of all of the cable news pundits, and yet he still went on Pod Save America and said that “on paper, Amy Klobuchar is the most electable candidate.” These people all run in the same circles and live in the same neighborhoods and talk to the same…

You... you legitimately think it was saying gaslighting isn’t real? Are you the dumbest boy alive?
