Then you should be happy, as Kotaku continuously finds ways to work “anal beads” into this, either the headlines or the story itself.

I love these Kotaku “articles” that are just a series of tweets.

I knew as soon as I read the headline in my daily email: This was gonna be a slideshow.

I’m so glad I get my news of piscatorial shenanigans from AV Club...

A conversation with my 13-year old after reading this ‘news’ article:

Me: Hey, do you know the youtube guy, Dream, who does Minecraft videos?
Son: Uhh, yeah. Why?
Me: Do you know he revealed his face recently?
Son: <looks around> So?

That pretty much sums it up.

I could care less if it is a gay rom-com. Is it an actually good movie? I watch things all the time that aren’t red-blooded testosterone-fueled flicks to branch out, but if Eichner does his usual schtick, that’s reason enough for me to stay away. Has nothing to do with sexuality.

You lost me at “Start slideshow” but did get a well-deserved LOL from “the final Halloween” from your headline. Final? Ok...

Ugg, I got sucked in. For those that don’t want to waste 90-seconds, it’s basically reporting that Bourdain’s brother claims parts of the book were fabricated or misrepresented. Done.

Wait, a convicted felon may have lied or withheld information in previous interviews? Say it ain't so.

I'm surprised Google kept it as long as they did. Of course, I gotta admit, I thought they had canned it several months back.

I have seen many a film in my decades, but I have to admit I have never watched a Monroe film. And AV Club’s insistence on using slideshows means my streak lives on.

It’s 2022, isn’t it just cowpeople now?

If we are even one step closer to the end of seeing “anal beads” for the sole purpose of attention-grabbing headlines, I’m all for it.

Wait, there was a Charlie’s Angels reboot in 2019?

Good, I was about to ask if this film was actually good. So all the negative press is likely an attempt to generate interest for something people would not be likely to watch anyway. Right?

I’m with you. Abraham would be fantastic. Unfortunately I think Coolidge was one of the weaker characters in season one, so not happy she is part of this one. And Plaza? Ugg. I still can’t understand why so many people love her. Season one was... ok. I’ll skip two altogether.

That’s promising. I have been wondering for the many weeks this movie has been story fodder if it was solely to make headlines and garner interest that otherwise would have been absent.

How does Andor fit in? Well, I don’t need a slideshow to tell me he’s about the same age as he is in Rogue One. So, he fits in right before that movie. A spin-off of a spin-off.

As a “white folk” let me clear the air--we collectively care nothing about this story. At all.

“Has any movie ever dominated the news cycle so far in advance of its release quite like Greta Gerwig’s Barbie?”
