People who live in the suburbs/exurbs/rural areas have the space for large screen TVs, home theatres, etc. People who live in cities (who might have some kind of hipster nostalgia for a retro pastime) often don’t have cars. I would be a good example of the latter category. I like the idea of a drive-in in theory (at…

I’m familiar with the concept, thanks. I’m guessing he had a passing familiarity with it too (aggressively progressive leanings and all), but again, this is the kind of person who would implore people to “go vegan for the environment,” but probably traveled more (by airplane) over the course of one year than many peopl…

The pressure to see movies quickly is real. It didn’t used to be that way. Wasn’t the original Star Wars in the theatres for over a year or something?

Vinyl made a comeback...but it’s still pretty niche compared to streaming. 

I watched Uncut Gems in the theatre instead of on Netflix for this very reason — there was no way I was going to be able to sit still on my couch for something that intense for two hours. Let alone resisting pausing to check my phone to look up an actor, etc. (as I’m not one of those assholes who pulls out their…

He means well (no, really, I think he does), but yeah. Also a vegan and extremely vocal about it. #notallvegans

Someone who owned his own condo + a rental property (and now a house, I believe, according to a mutual friend) once told me he didn’t “really believe in the concept of private property.” 

I think I ripped the originals onto iTunes but I don’t have Apple Music on my phone (plus I know Apple has a history of deleting songs).

The version of “Lost in Emotion” Spotify streams is the re-recorded version (at least for this Canadian). Why is that? All the originals of their other hits seem to be there.

We don’t know about Kate, do we? I thought she was keeping quiet — and wasn’t their relationship kind of “volatile” (as they say) back in the day?

Yes. That is not someone who always “does the right thing.”

They discuss Gibson’s amateur status in the video. 

My understanding is that he was talking more specifically about Jews. 

I know. I think at least part of it is that this is long read about a heavy topic on a site that mostly deals in snark — but it’s still disappointing.

“In all fairness,” at one point that might have been true. Dov was a huge perv and the ads were barely legal softcore — but hey, ethically made U.S. clothing! After they went bankrupt, the company that bought them out started making clothes in the U.S. and in factories abroad, assuring consumers that regardless, all…

Wow. When you put them all together on a list like that. Jesus.

Seriously. AA’s whole shtick was always that workers were paid fairly, had health insurance, etc. I guess not so much, eh? (I hope he doesn’t try to blame this on the new owners.)

Wait, that’s not normal? It’s never *not* been like that for me.

This is some Kardashian-level bullshit.

I feel worse about Spears than I do about Lohan at this point (the latter has done some truly awful things and I can only defend her for so long), but yeah. We’re fascinated by their downfalls, not willing to interrogate our own roles in them.
