As much as I got a morbid kick out of watching it, yeah.
I am kind of unsettled by how much of the base is fine with Joe Exotic (and Doc Antle while I’m at it...the two of them are both pretty skeevy.)

Don’t forget the fun of when the comments load, but they’re broken as Hell, requiring ANOTHER refresh!

Any good that might have come from that was immediately cancelled out by the fact it was bankrolled by Peter Thiel to satisfy his personal vendetta against the site.

Gawker weren’t saints by any stretch, but that takedown was dirty as fuck.

Additionally, I’m concerned how a dramatized version might wind up whitewashing some of this.

I mean, the people behind the doc already admitted to downplaying some of Joe’s more...questionable aspects just getting us to this point, and frankly, even with the doc making him out to be a genuinely fucked up person with a…

On the one hand, I do genuinely like this read on things just in terms of how people have built on it and have found some catharsis from it.
On the other, given the general level of writing from Lucas, I can’t help but feel like this is giving a bit too much credit and speaks more for the death of the author read on…

So far I have yet to be steered particularly wrong by any of their recommends (and even some of their didn’t quite recommend, but still had some good to say for, such as Eureka)
Some others I thank them for getting to me to check out - Used Cars, Mephisto, Burden of Dreams, The Long Good Friday, Amadeus, The Killing…

His debut in the Holiday Special doesn’t really do much for his mystique.
It’s basically

If you send in the UPCs, you get the two-pack with his hand stuck in Shirley MacLaine’s top.

Their discussion on RotJ remains one of my favorites to recommend to people because they’re looking at it both in the past and present. It’s a welcome clear reminder that, despite the attitude now, RotJ wasn’t always warmly welcomed and that SW is a series where its flaws are often glossed over with time as people…

See, that’s part of why I wasn’t THAT mad at Starkiller. I rolled my eyes a little, sure, but it was more of “Eh, not like it’s the first time.”

Of course, that was also further fueled by memories of the Legends EU, where similar superweapons were almost annoyingly common (Darksaber, World Devastators, the Sun…

See, I don’t know if it was ever meant to be read THAT far, unless there’s some supplemental material that draws a more distinct line there.

That said, even the most benign read of that still isn’t great. Especially on the heels of what happened to the ill-fated dancing girl Oola before her (quite literally killed…

Welp...I guess this finally means I have no excuse for putting off Barry.

Also, I realized it wouldn’t be, but I still held out hope Mr. Show would be on here so I could badger more people into watching it.

Ah well...one step at time.

I have some degree of liking/sympathy for Saff and the producer, but I do get what you mean. As weirdly entertaining as the whole thing is in macro, a lot of the people featured are just...really horrible.

I mean, Carole’s no saint here, but given the evidence presented, I’d have an easier time believing Doc and Joe…

Seconding this.
It’s basically the same issue we have now with the electoral college - thanks to how people are distributed in the country, people in big cities would see their votes reduced to literal chump change while votes in some of the so-called flyover states would carry considerably more clout in turn.

This, in…

I DO find it interesting how his comic book movies all seem to have a throughline of him including a ‘common man hurts God’ theme.

Even when it’s not in the original source and altogether unearned, like in Watchmen.

Fucking this.

His inability to really connect with Batman really surprises me thanks to a recent rewatch of Mask of the Phantasm. Bruce Timm & co made a genuinely human Batman story that went into his motivations and his grappling with his feelings about his mission in 90 minutes. Snyder took twice that time and got a…

Fortunately, we’re already pretty used to getting blamed for other generations’ fuckery.

Doesn’t make it right, but it’s at least nothing new.

I get that you’re making a Simpsons joke, but I’m picturing this and now part of me just really wants the arrival of the White Walkers in The Long Night to take a huge cue from the March of the Dead from Army of Darkness.

“Ooooh no. Nice try, you will NOT be blaming this on us!” — Neo-Tokyo’s psychic research development program, already anticipating taking the heat for this one.

It’s not Olympics, but Fatal Games is at least an alright stand-in (high school gymnasts trying for ‘Nationals.’

That said, was made in the 80s, so be warned some bits are... ... ...dated (without saying too much, it borrows the infamous twist ending of another notable slasher of the era.)
