That sounds like a reason you'd prefer to go to the opera, but not really in my mind a great qualification on its own for a tax exemption. (Though I realize that could play into the 'family entertainment' argument)

I have less issue with the ruling that stuff like Rap and Rock shouldn't be classified as "Fine Art" than with the tax code itself for making the distinction that entertainment that is "Fine Art" shouldn't have to pay a tax other kinds of entertainments should. The idea I assume is that the latter bring some what you…

I think Connie and Steven both suffering from something was important, but the thing with Jeff felt just a little too random. I can't think of what specifically but something that felt more relevant to Connie's central character traits could have landed better. Maybe some issue with her parents?

My interests according to Facebook
-Online Shopping- That's more a thing I occasional do than an "interest' Facebook, and why is a random old guy the image for this? That's literally the opposite of what I would think of from Online Shopping
-Video Games- Play a little, but I hate the online culture surrounding them
-Fami…

Honestly I'd say about half of his movies in the last five years have been at least solid, which is really good batting for an action star.

Haven't been reading the site as much last few months and just remembered "Hey, isn't this about the time Cancellation League starts up?"

Why the use of future tense? I was kinda confused by the headline's indication there were plans to make changed to a script for a movie coming out in less than three months. Am I missing some joke here?

If roles were reversed and Arnold was the one currently running for President I wonder how he would be doing.

No one is going to confuse her with Orphan Annie, but they could give a dark kind of red hair and it'll look perfectly fine if they want to pay tribute to that part of the character. I've seen plenty of women of color with that look.

From what I've heard Disney was meddling from the perspective of cutting minor details they didn't think would be appropriate like the spin the bottle thing, but not in terms of caring what he did with the story, which is what I imagine he would face doing a Pokemon movie and is the kind of thing that's more…

Some people are making fun of the Detective Pikachu thing, but to me it makes sense to make a Pokemon movie about about some kind of Pokemon mystery that has to be solved rather than a kid going around getting badges from gyms. You'd need to make it less outright silly than the actual game, but I still see my it would…

I believe the police gave it back, but someone was a dick and went to the police station claiming the hat that was part of it was theirs and took it, so now Alex has a sad Bill Cipher statue without a hat. (He put out a message on twitter requesting that if anyone knew where it was to please return it).

No problem with someone disagreeing but was super uncomfortable for me

I found last week's slate really messy (especially with the New Lars, imo the worst cannon episode of the series), I'm happy to see the show come back with such a strong week, having just the last 4 because I was out of town. This one might be my favorite episode of the whole show. Actually successful predicted…

This is the third movie in 2 years that's "the true test of the Marvel brand" apparently. I really don't see why this would be a tougher sell than GOTG and Ant-Man

Kids these days love Ego, The Living Planet. They all say Ego, The Living Planet is really radical. The moms say Ego, The Living Planet is kinda sexy. Ego, The Living Planet is going to sell all the toys.

I picked up A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the collection of George RR Martin's three Dunk and Egg novellas. I went through this faster than any (non graphic) novel since ASOIAF itself. Others might find him ponderous in some ways but for me Martin is just a breeze to read. The first two stories are good, but…

Watched Stranger Things like a lot of people. I don't really have much to say about it, it's a pretty simple show in a lot of ways. I'm sure everyone's gone well into the Spielberg-King comparisons. The best explanation I've heard for why this works way better than something like Super 8 is it has a lot more bite…

I watched it all the way through, but basically pausing and taking a break from it every minute because it also made me very uncomfortable. Body Swapping isn't usually difficult for me to watch, but the particular way this was written felt very painful.

It is really horrible to imagine there's still people who use magazines to masturbate.
