Fucking hell give it a rest. 

Every entrant in the Democratic primary potentially will draw votes away from the eventual nominee. Some supporters of primary losers ALWAYS ends up not voting for the nominee in the general. A segment of Clinton supporters didn’t vote for Obama in 2008. And 2016 was a unique year, and Sanders a unique candidate, that

Note the first line of Kaine’s response, “No, I never have”. He gave a direct answer, yet you’re still throwing him under the bus for part of his explanation.

Question: is there even a fucking point reading this long ass screed when you start out by comparing a fucking handgun, which is a machine designed to end life or at least severely maim living things, with a spare tire, which is a spare tire? Using a little self-awareness, is the rest of your post as fucking insane

It’s the context that makes it ridiculous.

Are you trying to make this a race thing? Jesus dude. The Dark Knight was groundbreaking. Black Panther was good, it wasn’t great. Beale Street was GREAT and got snubbed.

Seriously? We’re doxing high schoolers? They're little shits, but that's not gonna make them better people, even if seeing him punched in the face would be SO satisfying.

Hollywood really needs to understand that endless ad libbing isnt the only way to do comedy.

No it wasn’t, it was completely fucking stupid. It just gives more ammunition to the fake news bullshit that will inevitably come from this.

Why does Three Billboards keep getting roped into these discussions? It’s a film about police brutality, not race—although the two are often connected in real life, they aren’t in the movie. Secondly, it’s a fucked up black comedy where none of the characters are intentionally pure evil or pure good; it ends with the

“We all love Star Trek for its moral core, the way it presents heroes that champion utopian ideals and diplomacy and a love of scientific curiosity over hostility and division”

OK. I thought we had moved on from all the political stuff and generally both acknowledged that, yes, The Last Jedi was not a good film, and that hardcore Star Wars fans are the worst. Laura Dern is fine in it but her conflict with Oscar Isaac is an idiot plot that feels forced and -after the reveal- borderline

I would say the same for Black Panther, which was an important social achievement, but was otherwise a by the numbers origin story.

I think you’re being harsh of Kate Bosworth. I thought she was a very convincing 22-year-old veteran journalist with a Pulitzer and a five-year-old!

My own thoughts exactly. There were a lot of really excellent things that I liked and enjoyed, but it was just *makes a couple frustrating hand gestures* I liked it! It gave me a lot to think about, but it’s a bit telling that I haven’t also been tempted/needing to watch it as soon as it hit netflix.

I’m a little uncertain about killing the past when there’s still one more movie to go in the promised “Skywalker Saga”.

Following the twist, their rivalry morphs into a story about a white woman seeking to unseat a multiracial, black woman from her social station—specifically by exposing the truth about her heritage. The term “half-breed” should be seen as quite loaded in this context.

Weird, this didn’t show up in the Games section. Good thing I scrolled down on the main page!

For my money, Resident Evil 7 in VR should be #1. It’s intense — too intense for most — but if you like horror there’s literally nothing like it. The immersion of VR ratchets up your body’s reaction to everything going on to
