Yeah, there’s a considerable amount of “homophobic” material from Monty Python, much of it written by Graham Chapman. It’s called satire.

The question isn’t “Why would someone do this?” it’s “Why do people do this?” Have you ever heard of Münchausen syndrome by proxy? This is where a parent will poison their own child to convince people that the child is sick. And this is a common enough occurrence that there’s a name for it. People will do some…
Why? I think he’s made it perfectly clear that Ben Hardy is playing Queen drummer Roger Taylor in Bohemian Rhapsody in Michael Bay’s 6 Underground, which mysteriously appears to feature an as yet unreleased film within a serialized drama within a streaming website. If Charlie Kaufman was making it, you’d already think…
So what is this ninja’s name, and does he maybe have another identity as a maverick FBI agent who doesn’t play by the rules but damnit, he gets results?
“How is Mission: Impossible still this good?”
I read the tone of his commentary slightly differently, which to me suggests that while the film itself is good, the actual adventures the child has are fairly crappy, in that they’re not really very adventurous, but sort of comically, intentionally anti-climactic. The Time Bandits themselves aren’t all that likable,…
A fish... a fish... a fishy, oh...
Chidi’s not there, and he seems like a pretty solid human being to me. There’s certainly nothing remotely malicious about him. Most of the harm he does to anyone is himself.
I’m not sure how you can hold the “alt-right” accountable for this, because the only power they have here is to call attention to it. And the only person Disney is “listening to” here is Gunn. Did Gunn makes these comments? He did. Was it on a public forum? It was. Disney has all the latitude in the world to shrug it…
First off, I’m guessing Rodman’s joke got booed because it was a weak joke told by an unfunny person. As for what “should’ve” gotten booed, if you’re too fragile for jokes, maybe you should join one of those vow-of-silence monasteries.
Somewhere, Pete Townshend is hearing this news and saying, “What?”
I get that people here don’t like the guy- he’s not my favorite person either- but does nobody think that this has gone considerably over-the-top? Like, Stallone level?
It’s almost like everybody doesn’t fit into a tidy, little box.
Either one of two things is happening here:
Prudes.
Isn’t recognitions the best? So many times- so, so many- I wouldn’t have even guessed I was angry if it wasn’t so thoughtfully and committedly pointed out to me.
It’s almost like you expect people (and in this case, a writer) to know (or care) what words mean, or how conception works.
Go figure. A person who is religious and has some fairly rigid notions regarding the sanctity of life might actually still have a core of decency. Some might even say that decency is informed by those religious beliefs.
I’m not sure what appearing in a strident piece of anti-abortion agitprop has to do with being racist, unless you think fetuses (feti?) are a race.
God, Graham Chapman would have been a delightfully polarizing presence in today’s cultural climate.
