Echt kinja, même.

Of course I’m not your new God. mellowstupid and Carioca and I planned this back in high school.

That said, I do hope you buy my next book. It’s long, and it’s liable to cause a bit of controversy.

On that note, wrecked should be “wreck’d.” But I’m proudest of the italics and capitalization in line 11: I feel like I really caught the spirit of 1804. 

Great moniker, Spector or no. :) 

This one I don’t get, but gomenesai, watashi wa nihongo hanasemasen.

Have you actually read them? It’s interesting; the vast majority are either middling or downright negative (about two to one parts respectively), although RT inflates them. One, for example, explicitly calls the film “a failure,” yet the aggregator counts it as praise.

And if it’s not true
He should certainly sue:
The serious smear
Done wrecked his career,
Attacked his whole character,
Changèd the narrator.
Called him her predator?
This is America!
Who is my senator?
This lost, ancient mariner
Amber has Heard,
And amber — ‘tis true —
Marks his gem of issue;
Has signaled his crew
(Despite peer…

I think that’s beautifully said. I think one could even extend your observations to the whole of the culture war, which is being played out on such pixel-thin ground as to be absolutely meaningless. It lost sight of any deep understanding of justice around the time it destroyed the possibility for such understanding.…

And she has the range, too.

I mean in a country with at this point a degré zéro educational system (at best / if that) and a media beneath beneath contempt, Joe Rogan’s unlikely rise — thanks to true curiosity, genuine effort, risky sincerity, and a refusal to take himself too seriously — seriously threatens to make him one of those American impr…

For me it’ll forever be the almost Shakespearian loveliness of Maura Tierney.

That’s fashion in the sense that Katy Perry is music

No. It’s the first thing that’s upset them in over sixty years.

Yes, one problem with what Constant argues (very well) can’t account for is the fact that if people have a sense of their own agency (which clearly they do), and if this sense becomes integrated as a component of the social order (which it does), then it really doesn’t matter what the intelligentsia says about…

Did anybody actually watch it? It was great. She announced that she “wasn’t feeling it tonight, I’m be honest with you,” and segued into a pretty eye-opening monologue about her relationship with her sister, who constantly asks her for more gifts in spite of the fact that Haddish supports her. That developed into a…

Hold on here for a second. She’s 15?

I dunno. I guess times change, but when I was 15, I was a mini-adult in tenth grade. I’d not only lost my virginity but had been full-on in love — and broken up. I’d go on dates where we’d go see adult (rated R: Blue Velvet, Platoon, Broadcast News, Hannah and her Sisters, The Fly)…

God I can’t.

I love free speech, and I’m free to hate George Carlin.

For me, he’s always been in the Thomas Pynchon / Terry Gilliam / Frank Zappa garbage bin of people whom I guess I can’t argue with but just can’t stand.

Lordy, Black Klansman is one of the most puerile and dramatically inert films I’ve ever seen. Lee’s exploitative use of Belafonte was downright pornographic. No wonder he forced his crew to wear coat and tie when Belafonte was on set (and frankly it says something if one has to ask that when Belafonte is on set). First…

When Bob notices he’s on SNL again, he’s already done.

Aren’t you afraid spices will mask that delicious water aroma?
