Another great job as usual, Will. And wow! He was really willing to talk. These are all great stories. He and Sarah Snook were the entire reason I gave Succession a shot, and I’m glad I did. It took a couple episodes for me, but now I really love it. It falls somewhere in the valley between Veep and Arrested…

Yup! Those stacks of long boxes on the floor under the tables were filled discarded treasure you buy in bulk.

Goddammit. Actually, after reverse-image searching it (which comes up “steve ditko dr strange) it looks like we’re both wrong. I think it’s Dan Adkins with Tom Palmer ink. Should’ve paid more attention before I linked.

Damn. I read a lot of his stuff when I was first getting into comics in the late 70's/early 80's and hanging out at the shop near me all day until they finally just gave me job. Ditko had style.

Cool. How about they work on their always-fucking-wrong recommendation engine instead. No, because I watched Ali Wong, Penny Dreadful, Planet Earth, Luther, GLOW, River, The Fall, and Seven Seconds does not in fact mean that I would enjoy The Boss Baby, Kevin Hart, The Emoji Movie, The Smurfs 2, Paranormal Activity…

I probably wouldn’t have bothered, but MoviePass means I see a lot of things that I would’ve either skipped or waited for on VOD/streaming/cable.  It was dumb, but still way better than the last one or The Lost World was.  Basically a mindless popcorn movie with some impressive effects.

Where’s LaFergs?

You’re responding to someone who doesn’t actually give a shit about any of the things or people he goes on about here. He’s not here to persuade anyone. He’s here to be as shitty as he can to people. That’s it. He’s hardly the only one.  There’s a whole contingent of them.  If you read through his comment history…

I wish! Mostly old Wordperfect documents, BASIC programs, bootleg copies of Infocom text games, and saved game backups for Sierra On-line games like King’s Quest.

It’s just Simpsons quotes all the way down.

Greetings, news from 2 years ago.

Fuckin’ facial recognition... how does it work?

There were a shitload of them available on Amazon for around $12 when I went looking a few months ago. I came across a shoebox full of my old disks and was curious to what was on some the unlabeled ones.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. They definitely are not.  They are morally ambiguous at best.

Totally. If they completely eliminated that POV then yeah, it’d be a different movie. But they could’ve also simply shifted it to Kaluuya. My point there was mainly that she was hardly the only reason that it was a good movie.

What are you talking about? The narrative is still split with two other other characters, one that’s brought into their orbit and one that’s almost completely separate, just like the first one.  And you seem to be implying that they’re the “good guys” of this film, and they’re very clearly not.

And this is premium Barsanti right here. You’d think if your job consisted only of ripping off other people’s work and reposting it that a modicum of reading comprehension would be a basic requirement. At no point in the stuff he links to does Sollima say that it was “his decision” to exclude Blunt, much less does he “…

35% —Excessive violence

Me neither. I actually love the original. But this has all become kind of creepy and weirder than the Rick Astley bit was. And fucking Weezer covering it is like the cherry on top of the whole shit sundae of it all. Hopefully Paich and co. are making some decent money off the whole thing at least.

No. That’s just not how any of that works. Like I said in the comment, she didn’t do anything remotely close to enough to be “coked up.” She did a bump. She’d have countered her shitty feelings about her life for a few minutes, and that’s about it. It would’ve faded before she even got to the ring and damn sure…
