The circumstances of how he hit the person are the big reason behind it. It wasn’t a bar fight, it wasn’t a private heated argument. He got out of his chair, walked 50 yards on to a stage during an international broadcast of the Oscars, and slapped a comedian who made a dumb joke. Yes to the rest of the world, that…

Homelander’s much more convincing as a real human being who could exist than Trump.

Except that the public didn’t let it go. It seriously damaged his reputation. He’s forced out and banned from the Oscars for ten years: can’t attend or vote even though he has an Oscar, Netflix canceled a big budget production they were working on together, and one of his other movies bombed at the BO because of it.…

I must be the only one who liked that plot twist.  Butcher laughing at Homelander after the reveal was the best kind of victory.

Starr called the allusions “a bit of a red herring because if we strictly stayed in that lane, the character would be one- or two-dimensional and we wanted to create something a bit more layered than that.”

The world really dodged a bullet by not doing a comic-accurate The Boys.

Will is clearly in the bargaining stage of career grief. When this whatever it is doesn’t hit like he thought it would, then depression will set in; acceptance is not too far down the road.

It’s unlikely that the new film will be closely connected to the spin-off show, especially given that the movie is reportedly set on the East Coast.

The place I work at has a Michelin star, and we change our menu fairly often, like every couple of months, but there are a lot of things that come back every single year, with at most a few minor tweaks. And the bar/bistro menu barely ever changes at all. A different menu every day is absolute insanity, and would…

He also seems to have, for the most part, had fairly age appropriate leading ladies. Sarandon, Sean Young, Amy Madigan, Madeline Stowe, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio, Patricia Clarkson, Joan Allen, Annette Benning and Sissy Spacek are within a few years of him or even older.

I’ve never cared for Cowboy Costner, but I’m always game for Baseball Costner.

Happy to ignore your process since it guarantees a GOP win.

Covfefe.

His debate performance wasn’t so much mental decline as it was horrible prep. Watch the clips of him immediately after the debate and at his NC rally today. That’s the Biden that’s been doing the job for the last 3 years.

“Dislike does not mean “would not vote for if the other guy looks like he’s checked out”. And the polls seem to disagree with you.”

Sad, but true. Having discussions with my kids about how voting as a minority or marginalized group in this country is all an exercise in harm reduction.
I’ve spent most of my life voting against a candidate instead of for one. This will be another one of those times.

No, it’s a very simple delineation of the differences between a mostly middle class white audience who are detached and clueless about the process because they can afford to be, and much more working class black audience who have engraved on their DNA the understanding that progress is hard work and requires fortitude.

I absolutely get where you’re coming from. After it was over, I said to my wife, “That was basically a 40-minute montage” but I still loved it. Like I said, I get where you’re coming from but it got to a point where I was just in awe of the audacity and confidence in the creative team to keep up that conceit the…

I was definitely not expecting a B- grade for this one. I was mesmerized the entire episode. It was an easy A for me. I thought it was utterly brilliant.
