Sorta' a straw-man argument there, AVClub… 'retaliated against… a childlike obnoxiousness into the Star Wars universe'…?

Idolatry is the right word… The constant biblical images and Renaissance-ish portraits she drops on her legion of 13-year old fans are all ridiculous.

Well, at least they got Oprah… She was the wise woman who proudly humiliated another woman who dared to ask if the US invasion of Iraq was the right thing to do… The short clip is full of wise Oprah moments. https://youtu.be/AoWfYL_GKRk

I like the 'parental advisory' sticker on the lower right-hand corner. Its a nice idea, especially with the naked butt, waves shaped like human nightmare-hands, and a series of UFO overloads guiding our heroic female waif into the lunar void.

Are you particularly noting the 'u'…?

Next year, summer has been cancelled.

Ah, the old Virginia Wolf inspired suicide. Classic!

Have we had the US Magazine article yet, which profiles The Rock, and lets us know 'he really has a big input on the character he plays'?

God, there are so many reasons NOT to read Slate… its nice to hear they violated their mission statement and actually allowed a good journalist - one who amazingly does research - room to write.

So the last one was the story to Pocahontas repackaged - is this one going to repackage Treasure Island?

Anthony Weiner should try and rehabilitate his public image with a similar stunt. Maybe with a flying windowless van, as well…? Hmmm. I don't know, I'm not a high-paid marketing expert.

I hope they bring 'balance to this issue' by also creating a special episode where they show us freedom-hating liberals how the Nazis could have been stopped if only the Jews, etc. had guns…

The Salt and Pepper Dinner bit…. Probably the best thing (in my opinion) Mualney has done. https://youtu.be/QnkrL42R7gk

Yup. It was sometimes hard to watch on the Kroll Show - so much negativity, and with the characters rarely getting their much deserved comeuppance.

I wonder - exactly how difficult is it for these types of articles to actually acknowledge a few financial truisms regarding movie grosses, especially when we're supposed to gauge the net value of the movie in question?

The writers at Esquire - you know, the jackasses that want you to spend $300 on a T-shirt - think Seinfeld apparently acted "cringeworthy" http://www.esquire.com/ente… - so you're in good company on that 'asshole' call, Dokterrock.

Agreed.

Ha! That's right, he's part of the Hollywood version of Skull and Bones!

Tom Cruise is 'able to retain his status as a Hollywood superstar because he’s just so darn handsome and charming.'

Ha. That literally made me spit my coffee out.
