I was gonna share this in my fun little Seinfeld facebook group but my god the writing was so terrible I didn’t even make it though 2 paragraphs.

That sounds like a plausible explanation and hopefully it’s approximately accurate. I’ve been wondering how we as a society should balance the need to give an audience to people who have historically gone unheard while at the same time keeping in mind the mass of scientific evidence that suggests that most if not all

I never understood the idea that Kate Winslet isn’t crazy attractive. Even in Mare of Easttown they tried really hard to make her look kind of old, tired and rough looking, but a bunch of times it would be like “nope it’s still Kate Winslet and still super hot”.

“There’s no human on this planet that doesn’t deserve to have the best life and to be happy and free because you are made in the image of the good Lord, made perfectly just the way you are,” Manning said.

I have to say, when I first saw that Martin Short article, I thought “What the F is this idiot talking about!?” Then I actually started to think “Wait, do I really like Martin Short? Do I just like him because I loved Ed Grimley and The Three Amigos when I was 8 years old?” So, i guess, sort of a fair question the

I hadn’t heard about the Short piece, so I had to look it up. What a weird article. It’s literally just a long editorial about how this one writer doesn’t think that Martin Short is funny. I’m not surprised that everyone leapt to his defense. It’s the most random hit piece I’ve ever read. But yeah, you make a good

I own the Criterion of Akira Kurosawa’s Tonight Show Cue Card Guy. Toshiro Mifune’s amazing in the title role.

He paid in shame.

“Holy fucking shit. I cannot believe these Americans are falling for this.”

Kinja was team "fire everybody who knows how it works" way before Twitter made it cool.

First off, it’s Quebec. So, the Charter of rights and Freedoms they will argue, doesn’t apply, since-unlike the other provinces and territories, they never signed it.

Yeah, this article is peak current AVC- or would be, if they could get a bot to write snark effectively.  It’s willfully misunderstanding context and meaning both on the sentence level and in the larger context of what De Bont is trying to say.

I think he’s talking about the reality of having actual wind and ice interacting with actual human actors, and the response that creates in both the actors and the audience.  The original article has a little more context, but the AVClub has chosen easy snark over basic attempts at understanding, let alone benefit of

Finally - someone dissing Trudeau.  It’s nice to see the shine coming off the guy and Scaachi, you’ve hit the nail on the head many times here.

Who cares?  Just give me my Fak Brothers spin-off when the strikes are over.

....I don’t think he *slept* with her.

This one really hurts. I knew Sinéad very very briefly during secondary school (she was a few years ahead of me). I remember being in awe of her and a bit afraid of her and amazed at her talent all at the same time. Even then, we all knew she had ‘something’. Go back and listen to Lion & the Cobra; when you do,

Heh, yeah. I mean, Rami Malek was good and I understand why he won the Oscar, but literally everything else about it (including on a technical level, with that shit editing) was poor.

Can’t wait for hers to come out....on second thought...

That’s a nice movie studio you got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.
