I love both Kathryn Hahn and Michaela Coel, and wouldn’t have minded seeing either get some recognition, but maybe there could at least be some acknowledgement of Julianne Nicholson and Kate Winslet turning in amazing performances (career-best in Nicholson’s case)? 

Cool story, bro.

I’d bet that some herb or other suggested going that route.

Honestly, I’m twice as excited to check it out knowing how whiny all the low-key “I’m not racist, I just hate change” racists are getting.

Mild digression: Superhero Movie was actually kind of fun and underrated (and not made by the same folks who made Epic Movie, Date Movie, etc). Just the bit with Tracy Morgan’s Professor X and his constantly-upgraded wheelchair still works for me.

Want to watch someone throw away all the cred they have as a critic? Read the first two sentences of this review.

Thankfully, the one writer I tend to follow at the new “Deadspin” has given a good counterpoint: https://deadspin.com/naomi-osaka-was-bullied-out-of-the-french-open-1847007451

Did some googling since I live in Watertown just blocks from this place, and turns out he’s also a PhD student in history at Boston University. Or possibly was -- the page for him at their History dept is now 404.

I literally was just about to share this link with my daughter (a fellow LL player); I watched this when it aired, so it was a slam dunk question, but she was literally not yet born then.

How the fuck is someone as dumb as you not in the greys?

The Dawn of the Dead remake was Snyder’s last movie worth watching, so signing on to another zombie flick by him (albeit without a Gunn script) seems like a decent enough choice.

To quote from the article:

Aside from giving to charity, one of the reasons I like the sliders is that when there’s a bundle with, say, ten games, but only four will play on my Mac, I want to reward those publishers, since the other six are basically worthless to me.

I mean, yes, Blue Velvet is a better performance than in Hoosiers, but 1986 also gave us the ludicrously-underrated (although less so in recent years) Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, literally the only TCM film other than the original that needed to exist. Lefty Enright balances good and evil, a man seeking revenge after…

This was just covered on Tim Harford’s “Cautionary Tales” podcast (along with similar corporate promotional goofs). One of the things he noted was how those prizes would have been life-altering for families scraping by and unable to afford things like college educations and mortgages.

No questions about his relationship to Ego the Living Planet?

Don’t forget the all-too-often-overlooked Vanessa Bayer; the Naughty Christmas Elves were great, in an extremely creepy way.

I admit it: I clicked through at least partially because I was wondering what the hell had happened to Damon and if he’d been hacked.

Everyone’s so upset at them, but clearly, this is the first time in their lives they’ve ever encountered racism, and they’re just shocked -- shocked, I tell you -- that it could exist!
