I will watch the new Wick movie at some point, but the length is the entire reason I skipped going to the movie theater. I’m not sitting in a freezing theater for 3 1/2 hours or however damned long it’ll be with previews. Sorry!

My argument’s long been that MacFadyen is the true powerhouse in this show; Snook matched him and even surpassed him really, really well here.

Right, this is ludicrous. We can feel both empathy for her as someone who has clearly spent most, if not all, of her life trapped in a system that has helped make her feel as she does - and empathy for how much she has been swallowed by this - while still feeling rage over the fact that she’s chosen a path where she…

Ha, I clicked expecting to be enraged. It’s actually a pretty good sort.

I really enjoyed Three Houses!

I think she’s an absolutely terrible person on nearly every level; I also think Live Through This is a phenomenal album. I fully understand it if her personal behavior taints her music, so I don’t condemn anyone for that, but I just...separate them in my mind, I guess.

I’m perfectly onboard feeling like Cole’s a pretentious kind of guy, but yeah: Kylie has done themselves no favors on this. Generally I tend to find critiques of so-so spelling or grammar to be a bit dull, too, but in this case I would have to offer that given how often Jez articles are rife with weird flubs or wholly…

I feel like it’s not a great sign if a person cleaning up your aisle for you is crowing about actually purchasing one of the candy bars as if it was a wrench that they made themselves follow through on.

If it’s better sourced than most chocolate, good for him, but what a weird thing to ask of people.

I’ve experienced both sides of this: naming someone who hurt me and pursuing some form of justice against them and not naming, not pursuing.

In the case where I and others named someone harassing us, yes, action was taken - he was fired eventually, but quickly rehired elsewhere by people who knew exactly why he had…

Glad to see Mob made #1, as it should, but I’m chuckling over Titan making #3. Oookay. 

At least he’s just openly saying it instead of couching it in the same “concern” shit every other transphobe is pulling when they’re “super concerned” about trans kids, trans people in sports, trans people in bathrooms, trans people getting surgery or not getting surgery, etc etc etc etc etc. They’re all in on the…

Cite some examples, share some screenshots. I’d like to see real evidence.

I don’t really care a whit about the MCU in general, and Disney’s hold on it is a key factor in that equation, and I thought it was a very funny movie that I enjoyed! You seem really upset.

Right. I’m convinced of it - he’d already made it clear he intended to go down the same path Depp did, and we already know that’s had an impact on what victims choose to put forward. Little doubt he’s intimidated women into clamming up.

Though my stance more generally remains: we know what he did to Evan Rachel Wood,…

That MTG is able to eat comfortably in any restaurant at any time is a failing on our part, and must be remedied.

Right, that was what made the first episode so incredible to me: it felt like ti was building so that Roman seemed ‘less awful’ and then they reveal what was, to me at least, one of the most horrifying moments of TV I’d seen before.

I really can’t rank them in any way, they’re all just so equally awful that I can’t…

I think the surest sign that MCU movies continue to not be for me is that I watched the new ant-man movie because I didn’t have anything better to do that night and found it way, way more enjoyable than most of the other MCU movies I’ve seen. Good for all those who like MCU stuff, I’m glad folks enjoy those movies,…

Is this some sort of commentary on pandemic learning online, which has long been discussed not as a “better” scenario but as a necessary one to protect people during...a pandemic?

Certainly some kids do learn well online, but the argument has NEVER been that this was the optimum way for kids to work. I’m not sure why…

She’s been candid about her DID for decades. 

I’m not? I think what she’s saying and doing is inexcusable, and I also think she happens to be incredibly ill and it’s fucking sad that right-wing dipshits are so desperate to have anyone, anyone saying the cruel things they want to say that they’ll continue to prop up someone who needs to have no platform whatsoever…
