X was quite good but Pearl was, along with Midsommar, one of the best horror films of the last ten years or so. High expectations for this one.

yeah, this sequel sounds promising, but will be a handy from a sitting member of the House of Representatives good.

Eminem has been shit for way longer than he has been great. He had a stellar run of albums in the late 90s and early 2000s. And now he continues to dump on his legacy with every new release. This has nothing to do with his politics, it’s just obvious that he’s tired and has nothing to say anymore.

They’re dumb opinions, but it’s not like he’s shouting them at you on the street. He’s saying then on a podcast, that by definition, people are listening to because they want to hear his opinions. You clicked this link because you wanted to read his opinions.

Because the ones you had to watch what you say around - parents, teachers, bosses - were figures of authority whom you were obliged to respect.

I’d argue that being a dick has always been his thing. His humor has relied on sarcasm and a general dismissiveness toward other people’s feelings for a very long time. It just used to be on stage, directed at a straw man breaking the unwritten rules of society, so we tended to agree with him. There was more to it,…

people feel they must measure their language to take into account other people’s feelings

“It’s definitely one of their best, but it doesn’t stand out as a major stylistic departure to me?”

Starred for it being one of their best and certainly a song I would consider telling someone to listen to if I had to introduce the band with one song. That said, their catalogue does veer into something that sounds more like traditional pop fairly often - Friday I’m In Love, In Between Days, etc. And a fair number of…

I find people often get hung up in the same way about shows or movies where the protagonist breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to the audience. People ask what’s happening there. Is this a the character reminiscing about the past? Is it a series of diary entries being read aloud? To me, it doesn’t matter. I’m…

It’s fine. It just follows the shifting “relative timeline” rules of, say, The Simpsons or comic books.

Yah didn't Anya get nominated for an Oscar recently? I wasn't immediately sold on her but she's been so in my face I've come around. She was perfectly cast (visually not as a VO actor) as Princess Peach in Mario. How is she not mainstream if she's doing things like Mario with Pratt?

It’s almost as if it lives up to the title of the movie.

“Anya Taylor-Joy is a talented actor but also very off-putting and almost inhuman.”

“I can call Charlize by one name and a majority of regular people will know who I’m talking about.”

That’s the fun of it. He’s the obvious choice for who did it - so obvious that it seems too obvious both to us and Blanc, like there should be a twist there. I found it pretty entertaining.

Yet, clearly a lot of folks loved it.

This is something I read in the YT comments- that yeah the experience was probably fine for a lot of the very rich Disney Adults and TikTok influencers and the like but you burn through those and who’s left? So they had a lot of business at first and then it fell off a cliff. 

Nah girl, you're right, my tone here was meant to be more teasing and less shitty and I think I lost track on that almost instantly, sorry.

Because it is astonishingly cheap.
