Am I the only one who can just watch whatever movies I want and not care, because my morality isn’t tied into how I feel about who’s on the screen?

Just the once, as it was in the article. I thought about making the distinction in my post, for just such a situation, I guess I should have, but oh well.

I get that artists experience their job satisfaction differently from most, but something feels terribly conceited about someone who gets paid a hojillion times more than most people who NEVER expect their jobs to be fun, complain that it wasn’t “fun.” Work isn’t always fun, even (and maybe especially) when you’re a…

“Gonna be honest—if you find yourself constantly having to explain to people that despite what they just heard you say,”

But that’s not what’s happening. People are continually calling him racist based on one incident, reported years after the fact, that they lack all the information on, that they don’t have film or…

If you are talking per-capita income, then, yes, those are the two highest groups though that is due, in part, to their relative small percentage of the population.

“I fucked a child. I’m one of the good ones.”

-Jerry Lee Lewis
-Jimmy Page

The danger in this is that the analysis contained in those videos is taken as fact by the viewer because of the convincingly academic delivery.

This is stupid. Nobody discovered shit. It was never hidden - it was fucking obvious to begin with, unless your entire brush with the movie is some shitty, underlit, third-generation snapshot of a cheap desktop inkjet printout of the poster shared on Twitter.

I thought the switch of the gay dating site founder being persecuted for being a Christian in the same way a gay person gets persecuted elsewhere was funny for the first couple of jokes. But after the episode kept pressing the issue I got a bit annoyed. No one in the tech industry is going destroy a major deal because…

The secret to dealing with complaints about your show being #problematic is to ignore them until advertisers complain really. Letting the people complaining know that you hear them and trying to placate them will only embolden them. It lets them know that they have some power given you feel some shame and a small…

I thought the female Indiana Jones was Lara Croft?

Obviously we can agree that white men’s feelings are not really worthy of our consideration anymore. But, I would agree with an element of what MJS is saying: “White dude” as a punchline is getting played-out. PARTICULARLY when white people say it. If your sentence wasn’t good enough to generate laughter (or…

Well, what they’re alleging is that the production company did not inform them of the fire, and also that they informed them of the fire but told them it had been extinguished, which are two incompatible claims.

Think about Bill Maher what you will, but this implication that he’s somehow insufficiently critical of Trump is bizarre.

I love how much millennials hate Bill Maher. He certainly isn’t perfect, but the reaction to him is incredible. And of course the criticisms always resort to inaccuracy in order to further stoke outrage.

I’m glad he’s doing fine. Hope that he takes a heart attack at 47 as a sign to take better care of himself. Meanwhile I’ll keep stuffing my face with junk food and wonder when my first heart attack will come. For now I’m some 13 years younger than him and in a tiny bit better shape it seems, although it’s always hard…

How can we get AV Club to dump Kinja and go back to Disqus?

I’ll ask again. Does anyone actually like Piers Morgan? There has to exist at least one CHUD that can’t wait to hear Piers opinion on various shit.

Mr. Mike: No, not quite, Uncle Remus. In my story, they respect his wishes and skin him alive. I mean, it’s all very amusing to talk about being skinned alive in some children’s book, but can you imagine it actually going down? Toward the end, when they were cutting the ears away from the side of the skull, he was…

But if the movie isn’t constantly reminding me racism is bad, how am I supposed to remember that racism is in fact bad?
