Why the emphasis on ScarJo? “Disney’s payment model may have convinced the Russo’s....”

Al is so wholesome that all those people being crazy was required to maintain balance in the universe.

After the last 4 years of T#### I see no need to pass on misinformation. If someone doesn’t like the actual policies and says so, that’s one thing - they can be examined. But the beliefs about this are entirely fabricated, in large part by Jay Leno’s writing staff, and I cannot help but think that it played a part in…

That sure is a lot of people in UHF that turned out to be crazy. Al, uhhhh... you sure you’re only weird, right?

Fridging is more when a romantic interest of a more prominent character (most commonly a female love interest of a male character, but not always, see Tara/Willow in BTVS) dies for no other reason than to benefit that leading character’s story.

I think it’s all building to a moment when the Watcher actually *does* interfere.

Yes, that’s what’s funny about it - “Doctor Strange” is his real title and surname, so Peter assuming it’s just a superhero name like “Spider-Man” is great.

Maybe “we’re using our made-up names,” which also involves Strange as the straight man.

I think there are people who so want this to be a race thing that they’ve brought a share-bag of shoulder chips to a party that isn’t happening. To me, it seems pretty-straight-forward: Chapek talks about a release schedule being an experiment in just ambiguous enough a way that it can be interpreted as a slight agains…

yes that is a depressing and frightening reality that if the pandemic had not struck, or if he had a molecule of self-awareness to say “you know, I know zip about viruses or epidemics so I’m going to step back and let the eggheads handle this,” he would have been re-elected. It’s a good reminder for everyone who says…

It’s important to remember that aside from his boorish personality, if it hadn’t been for his response (or whatever you call it) to the pandemic, Trump still wouldn’t technically have been as bad as Bush, since he didn’t start an unnecessary war. Trump could have ridden the pandemic straight into a second term just as…

My thoughts exactly. Disney wouldn’t exist without adapting a bunch of old public domain stories. 

I think one of the requirements is to be that stupid.

I read “ffh” as “ffs” and now I really want to see Spider-Man: For Fuck’s Sake as the next sequel.

I doubt the footage was past act 1. Remember ffh and homecoming kept a LOT hidden even altering spidey's costume.

OH my god shut up. 

We are talking about December. Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I suspect vaccine mandates are going to start coming fast and furious now. They were already ramping up pretty well the last month or so. The military is in the process of issuing one, that’s about 450,000 unvaccinated people right there who will have no…

Best season of Curb Your Enthusiasm ever. Leaving LA for Martha’s Vineyard was a great idea.

Rule of thumb - tell people about how many black friends you have exactly as much as you tell people how many white friends you have.

I just want to say, with regard to that whole “I have Black friends” excuse that terrible white people use - even if it’s true, so fucking what? (It’s usually NOT true, but I digress). If you’re a white person who’s decent and not a shitbag, you SHOULD have some Black friends. If you don’t, that probably tells you…
