Hey now, a fair number of them are also using their time there to make money hand over fist to line their pockets with the intent of buggering off somewhere with no extradition to live in relative comfort without having to do a day’s work again for the rest of their lives.

‘One of the worst films I’ve ever suffered through’

Good sir, if that’s one of the worst you’ve ever seen, you’ve lived a charmed life.

I really feel split on Upgrade.

I liked it alright, but I see all the hype about it and think “...did I watch an edited copy or something?”

Like, it’s not bad, but the problem with that ‘a little bit of a, a little bit of b’ approach is you risk offering hints of something while never really leaning far enough into it…

...now that you mention it, why the Hell isn’t Annihilation on this list?

I like a lot of what I’m seeing here (particularly happy for the shout-outs for First Reformed and The Endless) but I’m still not sure I can agree with the idea that something like Ready Player One makes it on here but Annihilation gets fucked.

Day of the SolDAWSON IS THE MOOOOOOON!

While you may be right on the NFL read, I feel like the inevitable biopics will choose to start the night Obama dunked on him during the WH Press Dinner.

That simmering petty vengeance that’s become such a prominent part of this administration’s DNA will be a throughline for at least one, if not multiple dramatizations.

So it’s pretty obvious Ivanka is Feyd in this scenario.

This raises the question - which son is Rabban, or are they sharing it in a dash of Nothing But Trouble?

This misses one other thing Trump did that (sadly) almost never misses - he gave people with problems one thing they always want - easy answers that absolve them of any real sense of blame or responsibility for improving their situation.

For better or worse, Hillary tried to address those problems of the averager…

Possible, but if we’re being perfectly honest, I’m not so sure that Trump is genuinely capable of having friends. Everything he’s said and done basically amounts to your classic scumbag ‘How he treats you is relative to what he stands to gain from you’

Hell, he even turned his back on former BFF Roy Cohn when that guy…

How hard and fast are they on tracking me on this?
Like, suppose I decide to play the other cue from that movie and decide I’d rather whack Roger Ailes before he reaches the full height of his power, and thus prevent him from helping set the stage for Trump to rise to power.
Would they still try and stop me or simply…

I was there before. Lately I’m just slipping fully into Nic Cage at the end of Face/Off levels of “DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

The only other conclusion I can come to is he’s the kind of scummy rich guy who’s had surgeries on the sly and maybe even had a heart harvested from some poor kid overseas.

Almos…

Honestly, if he’s gonna do any live action anime/manga adaptation, I’d want to see him do Lupin III.

It can be two things - if he gets that sweet Minister of Thought position, he can use that clout to get out of facing charges.

“but to my knowledge he’s not a Lovecraftian monstrosity void of enjoyment and happiness.” — No, that’s what he hired Roger Ailes for. 

Thing is, that sense of entitlement may predate the power and respect here.

There’s something to be said for the re-examination of how pervasive our pop culture has been about convincing these guys they’re essentially owed the good ending and the girl and that there’s nothing wrong with doing some genuinely toxic shit…

Part of me would love the ability to go back in time maybe two years or so to when everyone kept posting that clip from the very beginning of The Newsroom, just to post the “It’s because you’re an asshole” line from The Social Network assuring them “Trust me, this will be the more timely and and resonant Sorkin line…

(It is probably important to note that the people who made the memes don’t actually believe she’s homophobic.) — If this was intended to make it better...it didn’t actually work.
More that just raises even more of a “No. Really. What the actual fuck is wrong with you people?” question

This is a bit of a disingenuous comparison though. The entire reason they act this way online is because they know they can get away with it there where in the real world, acting this way to a kid would at best get you a lot of stares and “What the fuck is your problem?”s, at worst, you’re collecting your teeth out of…

The sad part is, they will seriously do this.
I saw some of the people patting themselves on the back for this after KMT bowed out (one of them ironically using a picture of young Anakin, seemingly ignoring the fact Jake Lloyd was quite literally bullied out of the industry.)

To be honest, I feel like this is a big reason why if you listen to the Game of Thrones commentary tracks, one of the most recurring things the other cast members mention is how nice a person Jack Gleason is in real life. Initially I just thought it was kind of a good-natured running thing. More and more I begin to…
