1) I think I’m just pretty over the NFL. I told myself I’d stop watching last season after they nearly killed a player on field last year, but here I am, back at it. So call it a bad habit at this point.

Man, this is all going to end so badly for the NFL. I’m sure it’s great to have Swifties on your side, but hell hath no fury like a Swiftie scorned. At least their “relationship” looks to be about as orchestrated as the NFL’s efforts to help the Chiefs win at every opportunity, so when it inevitably “ends” hopefully…

“That’s per a post-mortem interview Turner gave...”

Whenever Matt Gaetz, alleged child rapist is not on the house floor, all of the other representatives should be asking, “Where’s Matt Gaetz, alleged child rapist?”

I don’t remember the episode beyond that but my guess for the motivation was “Ryan Murphy wants to make you uncomfortable”, as he’s wont to do.

Yeah, but what’s late-stage AV Club without a bit of pointlessly inflated conflict in the comments, eh?

Oh, I totally agree. It should absolutely be a choice; when that choice can/should be made is a whole ‘nother can of worms that I honestly don’t have an opinion on. All I know is that episode of Nip/Tuck where the son tries to do it himself still gives me the willies (pun 1000% intended).

It’s my cotillion, I can do what I want!

Damn, dude. Take a breath, go for a walk. Then come back, read the rest of the thread, look up how the word pious has multiple meanings, and maybe take a look in the mirror and realize that this noble comment crusade of yours comes off a bit dickish, eh?

;)

Dude, it’s crazy, ever since watching the show she’s gone totally off the rails. Started half-peeling all the bananas in the house. Cut off all the hoods on my sweatshirts. Frantically tears off my socks whenever I put them on. But now...honestly? I think she’s determined to make sure that no penis is ever…

Well, not everyone can be as unbearably pious as you, so.

My partner and I watched Naked Attraction and she was appalled by the uncut dongs on the show, so if I had to choose between her and “a little more sensitivity” down there I’d choose her every time.

I know plenty of people who were hard to work with professionally, yet were clearly loving partners at home (and vice versa). Not making excuses; everyone should be nice. Still, I’ve seen it happen.

Haha, true that. He’s said a lot on the topic, probably most of it begrudgingly. Since he’s an elder statesman of cinema I suppose he’s gotta be asked these things, but...yeah. I think I just want to make sure that people know that the sky isn’t falling or anything. Maybe that’s just for my own edification?

I have plenty of reasons, but I seem to be upsetting you, so I’ll say this: I sincerely hope this movie is good. I hope you, and the rest of the people you mentioned in those theaters all see it and enjoy it, and this film does well. I would very much like original sci-fi films to do well so they keep getting made. Do…

I agree with what you said, but Scorsese didn’t say that. He’s whinging about “content” and saying that all this stuff being produced falls into the bucket of disposable stuff we just consume and forget about. He’s basically calling out Netflix algorithm movies, which — fine! As he should! But it implies that there’s…

I’m speaking in broad terms, so for instance recentlyI watched You Won’t be Alone on Peacock, Lamb on Paramount, Hatching on Hulu, Glorious on Shudder (I like horror, if you can’t tell). But those are all movies I would’ve been hard-pressed to ever find before, let alone easily. Hell, even Oscar-winning doc All That…

Where’d I say I hate it? Where’d I say I wouldn’t see it in theater? Just curious how you came to that conclusion. I was making a point about how the article’s whole thesis is based on conjecture and speculation, whereas from everything that exists (generic trailer, review embargo, which is widely a bad sign,…

I swear to god I don’t think I remember a time before now where I’ve had such unparalleled access to independent cinema from a variety of voices and experiences. Not being facetious in the slightest; I can log into any number of different services and see the most insane range of projects. I don’t really care if they…
