I’m typically just a lurker on Kinja sites. But I had to log in just to reply... you actually want to intentionally infect others with a potentially fatal virus because they believe differently politically than you? What is wrong with you? How does this make you any better than the people you are excoriating? Take a…

A very underrated director. His supernatural horror is of course the most well known and great fun. However I think his very best work is the non supernatural horror/thriller/commentary Stuck with Stephen Rea (in maybe his best ever film role) and Mena Suvari. based a true story about a nurse who hits a homeless man…

This is unacceptable.

I think the plot intensifies the vibe of the music. There’s a dark, sexy, nihilistic tone to it mixed with an almost absurd level of romanticism, like the guy can’t admit to himself that he’s obsessed with a teenager. The protagonist is a fascinating creation, and he basically goes nuts at the end anyway - not the…

It was an extremely tasteless practical joke.  Once again, the thing that amazes me is that anybody could fall for it!

Guys, guys! He was fucking brilliant! He was crazy and could be a huge asshole, but I’m thrilled by everybody’s ability to read one article (about his best album, and one of the great albums of all time), then make sweeping statements about his work, supposed modus operandi, and entire career. Remarkable. France shut…

This record is in my top ten, and will stay there. It should also be pointed out that no one’s asking you to root for the protagonist.

Remember when people who declined to evacuate from the advancing hurricane were advised to write their name and SSN with marker on their arms to make their bodies easy to identify? I think everyone who wants to end the quarantine is welcome to do so, as long as they write No Vent on their forearms every morning. That…

Imagine that. Completely bungling the virus response and doing nothing because “it’s an election year” backfired on him. 2.5 months in and he’s just now doing stuff he should have done in January, when experts and intelligence agencies were screaming at him about what was coming. But he “knows more than the experts”,…

I think they believe it’s going to be some peaceful noble thing, like slipping off to sleep after a evening around the fire with loved ones.

the “deep state” that Trump hates so much (the political lifers, the people running the departments that aren’t appointees, the people who keep the system working even when asshats like him are in power) are managing to keep this shit afloat, and if Trump gets through this crisis, he will look good to low-standards…

Juliette Greco!

I like Scalzi’s response

Hopefully they are in their basements drinking bleach and fish medicine.

Live by the sword, die by the sword: all of the metrics Trump uses to measure himself are useless to him in a pandemic. Money, crowds - gone.

They are not exactly “pro-life”, never have been.

I get why this article focuses a lot on Gainsbourg’s personality/controversy-baiting/creepiness, and the specific creepiness of the album’s subject matter, but it’s kind of buried that this album is musically phenomenal. If you’re like me and don’t have a problem ignoring lyrics (which is even easier in this case if…

What Fauci has on Trump is the respect of the international scientific community, including (in all likelihood) the director of the NIH (his boss, technically) and the head of HHS.

“nodding sagely” is Pence’s default setting.

Ok. A bunch of Canadians are returning home from Florida so I’m finally getting some first hand reports of what you guys are up to--YOU ARE F---ing UP! People are telling me they didn’t know there was any problems until the Canadian government sent them an email telling them to come home--why? because of Fox and local…
