From? Why are most titles these days boiled down past the point where they still have any personality left? 

They should have just cast him young, as the (already canonical) teenage Nathan from one of the Uncharted games. Whatever they are doing here just feels like the end result of a bunch of compromises and typical Hollywood dumb choices, and so they’ve made another something for no one that kind of works and kind of…

But please point to where I accused anyone of being racist in my comment because it’s not like you’re so desperate you have to make up arguments no one said

Somebody must have lit up the Context Doesn’t Matter Signal, because here is Recognitions-Man with the same take he always has.

Real estate varies wildly. I live in Athens, GA and previously was in Indianapolis, IN. Neither of these cities is exactly buttfuckville, nor are they major cities; just a mid-sized college town and a fairly large but culturally insignificant (i.e. not trendy, not densely populated) state capital. In Indianapolis I…

That is not my take at all. But I also like frozen pizza rolls, Taco Bell, low-budget horror movies, and lots of other stuff where the appeal is not exactly high artistry or a superlative execution of a rarified degree of skill. There can be much pleasure in the right kind of trash IMO.

I think they were pretty good at being what they were: shitty, disreputable sleaze metal that your parents would kick you out for listening to. Shout at the Devil is a cool album in a braindead way, and”Wild Side” and “Kickstart my Heart” are genuinely good hard rock songs.

Thank you. I've always been a Fryrish partisan. 

I think it was possible to have that take back in the early 90s. If that’s still how you feel, you are not a trustworthy person.

I feel like there are plenty examples of men in that type of role. Watching the Netflix series Archive 81 with my wife right now, and that’s exactly what it is.

“Hey guys, I landed on a marginally funny joke for this one. How many times do I have to repeat it to get paid? ...Six or seven, you say? Got it.”

I don’t think he is racist. I do think he is a believer in latching onto the most hardline progressive viewpoint available at any given moment without applying a lot of examination to it. So, cultural appropriation = bad. Full stop. Anything that looks like appropriation definitely is. Anyone that does it is…

This typical of AV Club reporting, to not figure out or properly present the cause and effect. But one has nothing to do with the other. What happened was that India Arie pulled her music from Spotify, citing discomfort with sharing a platform with Rogan not only because of covid misinformation but also because of his…

Pretty much. Also, we are currently at the very apex of humorlessness. Why do people get so weird out by innocuous sex-tinged jokes? Prudes, I swear.

The reactions aren't "polarizing," they are polarized.

It looks like a ripoff of everything. You couldn’t pay me to watch this. Damn near every frame and beat of that trailer is creatively bankrupt.

I love it. The narrative cannot, must not, be altered, no matter what.

Yeah. Aside from perennial stripper anthem “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” they didn’t really sing much about sex and certainly not with the leer you get from Crue, Poison, etc.

There are multiple full sentences here that barely hang together with any sort of meaning at all. I thought the wheels came off circa the Kinjapocalypse but there might be something much worse afoot.

Thanks for the heads up, Shoebox, if that is your real name
