KS backers are a special kind of privileged children sometimes.

Stranger than Fiction is a minor masterpiece and people who bag on Ferrell can get bent.  If all he ever did was that film and Talladega Nights, his legacy would be unquestionable.

But that’s not what he’s saying. He masked. He drove instead of flew. He quarantined while waiting for his test results. He used hand sanitizer. His doctors said he didn’t need a covid test and he insisted. His friends think he’s overprotective against covid. He’s saying he quit over creative differences. One of…

I really don’t think that’s true. “I’m not an anti-vaxer but I just have problem with THIS vaccine” is standard anti-vaxer language. Andrew Wakefield himself said exactly that.

but the producers told him that he’d be “the safest one on set” because he’d have “natural immunity.”

I agree and disagree with this. I’m not sure if the reviewer realized you can blast through the content when they wrote, “It’s a slow burn, meaning that, much like the rest of the game, you can’t unlock everything at once.” That’s simply not true, and it was the same in Happy Home Designer.

Stranger Than Fiction and (imo) Everything Must Go beg to differ.

Jesus, that's a good subhead

Isn’t the incentive to actually try supposed to be because you love decorating tho

Man this just reminds me of how the AV Club peaked with Emily VanDerWerffs reviews of Dexter. Those were fuuuuuuun.  I mean sure why not, you can't somehow make a worse ending then last time.

I genuinely enjoyed Eternals, and think most of the criticisms against it are just regular old (yet perfectly valid!) criticisms against the MCU at large. Still, my A-List tickets this past week also included The French Dispatch and Last Night in Soho, both of which were better movies.

My favorite June is the one that gives in to the madness and just gleefully enjoys whatever bad movie they’re reviewing, like Fair Game or From Justin To Kelly.

PAUL: That scene makes no sense. We’ll find out why, later.
JUNE (shrugs): Will we?
PAUL (shrugs): Eh.

Also her observation from Speed 2.

JASON: They get sucked…

I listened to part of it. I didn’t catch a “bonkers,” but I haven’t listened to the podcast in a long time, and I’d forgotten the specific joy of June Diane Raphael sounding genuinely concerned about the health and stability of the people who made the movie.

PAUL SCHEER: Squarespace!
JASON MANTZOUKAS: It’s literally actually bonkers!
JUNE DIANE RAPHAEL: What I don’t understand is...

(Saying this as a fan)

I’m only interested if Jason Mantzoukas describes the movie as “bonkers.” 

The Razzies should have nominated her for The Blind Side instead. Instead of a easy target. 

There is a great episode of How Did This Get Made about this film, highly recommend: http://viajon.net/HDTGM/PodcastGenerator/index.php?name=20110404-all_about_steve.mp3

Probably once a month I'll think about how crazy it is that Kimmy Schmidt worked as a premise at all.
