To be fair, John Ford isn’t being marketed directly to kids the way Disney is.
Kind of a big difference there.

As awkward as the siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp are, they’re still only runner up to the siamese cat in The Aristocats.

Everybody Wants to Be a Cat is mostly a perfectly harmless song...then that cat shows and it takes a brief hard sidestop into fucking YIKES.

Possible, but unlikely. Those people are more likely to be furiously masturbating to Birth of a Nation for the 100th time this month.

Song of the South is...unfortunate, to be sure, but it seems more misguided than willfully trying to push a message the way something like MK or BoaN is.

That said, personally, I’m team…

In a case like this, I think it’s less specifically ‘this doesn’t align with my views’ as it is ‘I feel the point this is making is disingenuous.’

Again, as people have pointed out, over time, South Park’s ‘both sides are equally terrible’ line has started to ring more hollow thanks to one side pretty openly embracing…

I’m gonna have to insist that, despite the impulse to make them a barbarian, you consider making them a rogue.

That way, you can double it as a Shaw Brothers tribute.

This. Doubly so given who’s currently in power (and let’s not forget the role of late night hosts in polishing THAT turd up.)

“It’s time to pray!”

At about halfway through that episode, I was bracing for it to culminate in him just throwing up at the podium.
I’m still not sure whether I’m more relieved or disappointed that didn’t happen.

...wow. That...
I had known about the two (in this case, care of the podcast Swindled doing a general overview on his litany of wretchedness) but either they had left out or I forgot the third guy in there.

Again, the fact this guy is allowed back in says SO much for the modern evangelical movement, and none of it’s…

Given how much they stump for him, the money may as well be going to his campaign anyway.

Let’s paint that picture a bit more vividly. Alongside the scamming, there was a whole bunch of sexual misconduct allegations, right up to reports of him raping someone and then paying them off.

The fact someone can be that much of a hypocritical scumbag and STILL not fall out of favor with the Evangelical set (for…

He would want that.
He would want that SO fucking badly right now.

One of the most fascinating parts of listening to the podcast Knowledge Fight - their chronicling of the decline of Alex Jones over the past few months has painted a picture of a man equal parts disgusting and sad as fuck in how he’s trying to stay…

It’s like when people act like Y2K was a whole lot of nothing.

Was it as bad as initially predicted? No. Funny thing that - THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY FROM THE START INSTEAD OF WAITING TILL IT MAKES YOU LOOK BAD.

I don’t care how wrong it sounds out loud - I genuinely heaved a sigh of relief…

Credit where it’s due - in the pantheon of directors who’ve done extremely questionable things, he’s one of the few who’s genuinely seemed to show remorse for his actions.

Now that you mention it, the Toblerone laugh is really the perfect response to this article.

Woods is kind of a special case, since it’s the twin strains of asshole (political and apolitical) and creep on top of that.

That said, I do give points to Cronenberg for his eerily prophetic casting of him in Videodrome as an unapologetic sleaze who gets turned into a mouthpiece for cryptofascists and sends his life…

...waitwaitwait...she’s real?

My girlfriend and I were joking back and forth for ages that she was made up (or a body pillow, or on one occasion, a potted plant, a la Homer’s replacement Marge.)

I guess there really IS someone for everyone.

Shapiro and his ilk, more than anything, are a good proof of the insular nature of modern American conservatism.
One of the best things to come out of last year was the video of his infamous interview on the BBC, where one of their noted conservatives started to grill him. Shapiro was clearly unprepared for the…

Chinatown and Tess are two films that feel strange to look at in context since, in both cases, the rapist is depicted as evil and and the act itself as having long-term repercussions. It almost feels like there was some weird subconscious part of Polanski for a while there that was trying to come around to realizing…

If TGMD is transposed over any Simpsons, I nominate using the formula of Chief Wiggum, P.I. from the Spinoffs Showcase episode.

If we’re gonna keep plundering this, might as well at least use the good parts of the meat.

Is that chain of ‘Look how our campaign offices were vandalized!’ tweets still around?
Cause that seemed...suspicious.
Plus, highlighting the alleged message of ‘Eat the rich’ on your office in Flint, MI is a VERY special brand of ‘Didn’t read the room.’
