Isn’t there a tv series called “The Rookie” about the oddity of someone joining the police around that age?

I think Foo Fighters have had at least a couple of rather good songs.

Yeah, Nickelback was never especially good, but not distinctively bad either. Just blah.

Hey, I insulted Sam Barsanti by noting that Dowd’s review was less inflammatory. And such quality reviews are why I keep coming here, while the Newswires and Great Job Internets Barsanti puts out are good only for hate-clicks and mockery while I’m already here.

It’s normal to reference a director’s prior work, including when you have a low opinion of their output. This has the benefit of helping readers calibrate their reception to the review based on their opinion of the films it’s compared to.

In “The Sisters Brothers” he plays the brother who’s supposed to be funnier, while John C. Reilly plays the more serious role. A very strange casting.

I think they’ve confirmed that this won’t be tied into any other film. Since this takes place in 1981, Arthur Fleck would be way too old to still be running around causing chaos in the present day. Although I guess the screenplay does act like he’s significantly younger than Joaquin Phoenix actually is.

I think it would have been fair if he said “most” of those movies weren’t funny. The original actually did have some laughs that made it successful enough to generate those two sequels to swiftly diminishing returns.

After Hours is a good movie unfortunately marred by how much of the screenplay was plagiarized.

Ledger gave a better performance, but Nicholson was a better Joker. He was a source of both jokes and danger combined into one.

At least the reliably excellent Harris is on board in a too rare leading role, though why she’s playing a rookie cop in her 40s is a mystery the movie may or may not solve.

There’s already a whole lot in the public domain, but generally still available to us normies. Pepe wasn’t targeted because of a mistaken belief that he wasn’t copyrighted, but simply because it was already popular meme material on the internet. Mickey Mouse and Superman are old and less interesting to the Very Online.

Generally speaking, I’m not entirely comfortable with the concept of intellectual property, but I do like him sticking up for Pepe as originally conceived.

If someone just wanted to get laid, prostitutes exist. No person who can afford it is thus “involuntarily” celibate. Q.E.D.

He was a reality TV star that won a kind of popularity contest, but a state bar has more objective standards.

In the same article in which a couple of trolls claimed Pepe, they also claimed Taylor Swift. Afterward the ADL included Pepe as a hate symbol, but Swift was too popular for that to work.

Don’t be pissed. Just keeping giving the thumbs up. Two of them, even.

Maybe it’s time to reclaim the OK gesture

So you’re saying... Better Call Saul is secretly an adaptation of a Harley Quinn storyline?

It’s already got plenty of advanced orders for tickets. It’s going to be alright. It cost a lot less to make than Heaven’s Gate, or your typical DC film, and having seen it last night I can report that I personally enjoyed it and the people around me were praising it when it ended. It probably won’t do as well as Star…
