This is my concern as well. As a college instructor that fails a significant number of students (I got stuck teaching weed out classes), I’m constantly in fear of running into former students at restaurants anyway. Not going to push it. Just eat, pay, leave and never come back - if it’s truly bad a negative review on…

My wife and I busted out her family’s old SNES for some basement gaming nostalgia last summer. After 45 minutes we gave up and never looked back.

Who’s the audience for this?

People who hated what Barr has become aren’t going to watch, and people who agree with Barr’s politics aren’t going to tune in to a show without her.

I have a co-worker who has never done anything that rises to the level of a reportable offense. And jsut based on statistics and me being rational I doubt anything would ever happen.

i agree... jay has outdone/outshined nas at almost every turn. illmatic came out at the right time, and nas has not been able to deliver something as timely ever since. he delivered hip hop’s first multi producer album which served as the bridge between the old school lyrical NYC rappers and the new wave of NYC rap…

Yes, but that’s a bit disappointing for me.. For me Jay-Z was a great Lyricist, but closer to being one note than someone called “the best ever” could ever be. For awhile Nas’ wider selection of subject matter, including some conscious stuff (I know, some ignant shit too, like many popular rappers) put him above…

Illmatic, as one singular album, is better than any individual album Hov ever put out. But Hov’s best 10 songs EASILY top Nas’ best 10 songs

I’ll agree with most of that except that the difference in their bodies of work are much less clear cut than people often make out; Jay’s discography is just as consistent as Nas’, if not more so, but for some reason he doesn’t quite get scrutinised to the same degree Nas does. Also Takeover is a much better diss…

Blade was much more of an vampire action movie than a superhero movie. I mean, sure, I guess it’s about people with powers fighting over the fate of humanity—but its vampire powers. Blade as superhero feels like a take made in retrospect now that superheroes are more popular than vampires, which wasn’t the case at the…

People who get up at 5:30AM and get forced to go to “brunch” with their hungover friends at 1PM.

To be fair this has been pretty status quo. A low buget guy with skills is easier to control than established director with leverage. So its a solid studio gamble to push out a focus group tested film with little pushback. And the studio looks risky by hiring an indie creative even though its just a guise to make…

The problem is that Snoke is important to properly understand Kylo, and by tossing him aside with so little development it leaves both him and the whole setup of the current status quo lacking depth and definition.

It drives me crazy that anyone who dislikes The Last Jedi is automatically painted as a misogynist racist neckbeard. That movie was a hot mess and there are plenty of reasons to dislike it that have nothing to do with the presence of minority female characters. In broad terms a movie that’s marketed as a fun adventure…

I agree that Woody Allen isn’t displaying particularly good taste by bringing up #metoo in this way but - given the recent statements made by Moses Farrow- this article seems, at the very least, unwarrantedly sure of itself.

Woody Allen is a national treasure.

More important, he has been exonerated of wrongdoing by prosecution sex-abuse experts who gave their professional opinion that no sexual assault had taken place, and also said that they could not rule out coaching of the child witness having taken place. (Note that these were not…

The AV Club didn’t even write about it at all. They ignored it completely, as if it never happened. 

hm, weird.

I mean, what he says is true.

He hasn’t ever been accused of anything by women he’s worked with. That is a simple fact. People can believe other things they have heard about him, things are are heavily disputed, but no actress has ever accused him of anything improper. What he was accused of is separate from the METOO movement.

Were you expecting a 15 hour episode showing every minute of their trip? Whether it took a day or a week is completely immaterial.
