ok. So here’s my deal with modern A.V. Club headlines. It should have read. “Banksy booby-trapped one of his paintings to “self-destruct” at auction.” Done, that’s intriguing enough on it’s own. I might actually read that and see whats in this article. but then Hughes had to add “and that’s actually pretty funny.” Is

If he is in Thailand, we all know what he is there for. -Elon Musk 

Nope on Killmonger (some others too, but I’ll focus on Killmonger here). All his good intentions are completely negated by what he wants to do.

You don’t kill innocent people for what their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. No justification whatsoever. Furthermore, his destruction of the sacred herb showed he cared

Wasn’t Killmonger’s plan basically racist imperialism at a level that would make the British Empire blush? Or are we saying that’s OK because he’s black and oppressed?

Hot take inbound:  I don’t think the problem with disenfranchised and economically oppressed communities is that there aren’t enough guns, Killmonger.

This! That’s why RENT has aged horribly.

Along those same lines, though more hacky because it’s been said a lot, but the landlord in Rent at the beginning just asking for his rent money.

Ben Stiller’s character in Reality Bites. Why were we supposed to not like him? For having a job? For actually not treating Winona like garbage 100% of the time? It’s not his fault her friends all made themselves look like assholes on camera.

Controversial...

Happened recently in Incredibles 2 for me and anytime someone tries to regulate superpower. Evelyn Deavor is 100% correct in wanting some sort of regulation of incredibly dangerous people, of wanting some sort of recompense and resort for “normal” people when those with powers have an outsized effect on the world.

Ugh. We get it, you’ve read a book. Congrats. Let the guy have his joke, Poindexter.

Does Bradley Cooper play Lady Gaga’s grandfather in this movie?

Remainder: You can believe Louis CK is a creep that the comedy world should reject and also roll your eyes at the incredible stupid questions (and this incredibly stupid article) asked by the interviewer.

I assume it’s actually in Vegas? If so then the audience will be very different, more partiers and tourists and few if any folks actually invested in the city’s stand-up culture. The crowd probably won’t be returning, so why do they care if a comedian is allowed back?

Good for him. God forbid individuals (in this case potential audience members) make their own decisions and own them. If you don’t feel comfortable not knowing who might show up, don’t go - it’s a simple fix. If you’re there and uncomfortable, walk out like the people did at Comedy Cellar. That’s much easier than

I gotta say, Gaga’s look for this movie is really doing it for me. Sexy little thang.

So sorry that you are being subjected to points of view that don’t mesh with yours. You are so brave. This whole comments system is a groupthink circle jerk, and I LOVE how you ninnies lose your collective shit when some one you don’t agree with escapes the censorship of the “grays”, and you actually have to *gasp* exp

Seriously?

I wish “Go fuck yourself” wasn’t everyone’s first reply to every comment they don’t like.

And all those ballerinas yelling out the N-word.
