Our whole family still quotes, “My whole life flashed before me eyes... and it was really borin’” endlessly.

Not that the US tax code being a fucking mess is news to anyone who has encountered it but, wow, the US tax code is a fucking mess. I’m pretty sure that tax credits should ideally incentivize companies to create things, rather than uncreate them.

Yup. And considering the etymology of the word "hysterical," including it in the complaint is, to say the least, tone deaf.

That they used the term “hysterical” says so much, good lord.

Eh, I have all the respect in the world for the man and his films, but Scorsese can fuck himself on this one. Build in a goddamn intermission. If every scene of your film is so important that it has be 3.5 hours long, then your choice is either building in an intermission or expecting theatergoers to miss several…

“If I can help some kid go through a tough time in his life, that’s what I want to do.”

The Sweater Song is fun

Not to mention Greenwood, Gugino and Thomas are the leads in that one as well.

Is it really “easy to forget,” as the article asserts, that Justin Timberlake is a really famous popstar? And has his career really “cratered,” or “crumbled?” My sense is that it’s not especially surprisingly that a 42-year-old who has been famous for more than two decades is no longer the hottest name in music, but…

Well, that accounts for that Sunday, but how about apologizing for every other day you’ve existed in the public sphere?

You mentioned it in your last Brannagh column, but not here.. however, I cannot recommend Dead Again enough!

Fallen is one of my favorite of his movies

And here I assumed that it couldn’t be remade because Bill Paxton has passed.  

You want to point to an actor/actress who had an absolutely thankless role, but took the bad cards she was dealt and delivered a performance for which she could hold her head high, that’s what Jami Gertz did with her role.  That was genuine acting skill at work with all the crap lines she was forced to spout.

In terms of animated characters, Kronk and possibly the Disney Hercules definitely deserve to be on this list.

Hercules isn’t so much an idiot, but he has that “nonthreatening female gaze” thing from the Tumblr link posted earlier down pat.

I thought the song was intended to be about being abused (and implicitly criticizing toxic relationships), rather than condoning abuse or toxicity? That said, Matchbox 20 was the first real concert I ever went to, so maybe I’m just biased.

Nah, she’s right. She’s the product. Show knows they came to see her perform and they paid money to see her perform. They didn’t pay to use her to get clicks for themselves. I think she’s absolutely right. She’s not a “content creator.” “Content” is some nebulous word for “any fucking thing anyone wants to put on the…

Her own fans were the ones asserting their entitlement to filming her concerts: they paid for the privilege to be there, so they should be able to do what they want. There’s truth to that
