Unfortunately the points very much do matter.

They signal boost, which is all they are meant to do. You’re correct that they’re not meant to change anybody’s mind or to inform anyone of anything they don’t already know, but they certainly do something. To say otherwise is to nullify your own authority in speaking on the subject.

What a truly bizarre, deeply bootlicker take.

Uwe Boll’s movies were profitable before they were released because of pre-selling to TV in international markets and tax incentives / funding from shooting in Eastern Europe. They just needed to be released to qualify.

It is the latter. Sony must release a Spiderman-related move every X years on average (I think 2.5) to retain its rights to the character and his rogues gallery. Venom actually was successful, but Morbius, Madame Web, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter don’t need to be successful, they just need to be released,…

Except that’s literally no version of The Joker ever. It failed as a DC Comics adaptation, and as a straight drama it was entirely muddled, meandering, and overlong with so much overacting from Phoenix that I wanted to whisper, “Honey, there is such thing as too much and you passed it long ago.”

It was a movie with no philosophy that desperately wanted you to think it had a philosophy, Joaquin chewed more scenery than Al Pacino, and it was like 35 minutes too long (but most movies are too long these days).

The first film was genuinely bad, and not in a fun way. This one looks even worse, but in a fun way.

Palin has always had some serious Good Uncle energy.

You know, when you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle, and this’ll help things turn out for the best.

| One problem with that: The only viable Democratic candidate who has even a chance of beating Trump is... Joe Biden.

If Biden wins this election it will be in spite of everything the DNC has done, not because of it. The DNC keeps reloading the RNC’s gun and handing it to them and then acts shocked when they get shot.

Oh dipshit...

It’s not “attacking” him to say he is not a great candidate. The fact that you see it that way is part of the reason we have ended up where we have.

Oh, I get it. You’re a contraian. Congrats on being contrary!

And the fact that he likely won’t again is a testament to how bad a candidate he has become after four years of his presidency. A generic “non-Biden Democratic candidate” beats Trump in polls. Biden does not. 

Donald Trump isn’t an existential threat. He’s a known threat. If anyone votes for him at this point, it’s a vote for the continued destruction of America as an institution. And putting Joe Biden as the alternate choice is the Democrats giving every single person who hasn’t already made up their mind every reason they…

I guess it’s good to know that Bill Mahar doesn’t hate Jews, just people who practice Judaism (or any other religion but particularly Muslims), women, science, and young people. But old athiest cishet white guys who think you’re cool for liking tits and cigars, them’s a-ok!

Before Eternals, Kumail was already known (at least among comedy fans) to be a hugely volatile guy who would get really upset with other people (usually other comics) comics in very public ways (like during live podcast tapings, etc.) with it only about 15% being a bit. He’s a guy whose always had trouble staying…

All of the people you list served under or with Jost and Che. The show goes where they go, and for the last 10 years it’s gone to shit.
