Schaffner you magnificent bastard! I watched your movie!

Some, I assume, are good Martells.

As long as 1 percent of the 1 percent control 99% percent of the upvotes this country will never be equal.

Oh yeah, Starwipe.

Yup. It sucks but it's the truth. We had the opportunity to jump ship there and some of us did but our numbers were just statistically insignificant. Independent media is simply no longer a viable concern. You need that Comcast money (Vox), Univision money (here and gizmodo media) or Fox Media money (Vice) in…

It all boils down to The Dissolve paradox. There was a website that featured every single authorial and editorial element that made this site great… and it sure didn't make it.

A thousand 9/11s plus the sinking of the Lusitania

"As governmental and environmental collapse loomed I spent my time making snarky virtue-signaling posts on a pop-culture website"

"As the American state teetered on the brink of complete administrative annihilation with the specter of an unprecedented constitutional crisis in the background most of the liberal literati were watching a live stream of ice melting".

It's such a good metaphor for CIA involvement in the drug trade

Yeah, it's really a dream come true for him. If you read interviews with him he's wanted to do horror stuff his entire life. There are little glimmers of his passion in stuff like the "Key and Peele" halloween episodes but for him to get to make a movie that's largely played completely straight and has been a giant…

Such a good movie. Just the most fun I've had at a film in a long time with all kinds of different levels to watch it on. A real triumph.

Exactly. It's a deep goddamn movie with a much more nuanced "moral" than any other Disney film I can think of.

Remember when Leonard Pierce wrote his comment about Trump getting elected way back in 2008?

The levels of racial subtext in that movie is pretty profound. You can make a damned good case that it's basically an indictment of the CIA pushing crack cocaine into minority communities during the 1980s.

Remember when the comment sections weren't always about Trump?

It's crazy how much Obama bent over backwards in regards to Bush and the financial meltdown. There were so many things that could've been prosecuted, so many illegal acts that could've been exposed, so many execs who deserved jail. And what did it get him? Accusations of felony wiretapping within a couple months of…

They'll easily justify it. The healthcare they got through the ACA was despite Obama and their loss of coverage now is because of Obamacare. These fucktards are unreachable.

Watching the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot. It's that insane need to self-negotiate ("$15.00 is too high, what about $12.50?") in the hopes of seeming reasonable and playing to the invisible umpire.

Someone tweeted something before the election to the effect that "if you need a half dozen Vox explainers to tell people your plan is a success, it's not a success". It's absolutely true. Not going single payer was a huge self-own but the lackadaisical response to actually promoting the positive aspects (low income…
