You can shoehorn anything into outrage clicks! I'm working on a think piece about the rampant problematicness of the trade routes of ancient Byzantium. OMFG AYFKM SMDH WHY????!!!??!!?? you will ask yourself upon reading my ad revenue generated income source!

It's a shitty, boring movie that I saw when I was a teenager. There are thousands upon thousands of better movies from that era. Since seeing hundreds of better movies from the 50's, I have no desire to revisit it. It's just straight up shitty, and I don't need to justify my dislike of it in moral terms. Honestly,…

Why would anyone need to either defend OR shame people gawking at a celebrity six decades ago? I can think of about a quadrillion better ways to spend one's time. I realize I'm contributing to the clickbait by posting this, but this article seems like a absurdly clumsy way to shoehorn a minor piece 50's pop culture…

That makes sense. Are there any perennial Canadian favorite movies that are shown every year without fail on the networks? Which I realize might just be a particular Hollywood classic, like It's A Wonderful Life (as far as I know, on traditional US network television, they've been pretty consistent in broadcasting…

So do the Canadians enjoy the Hallmark Channel-type holiday movies (going by the descriptions listed) more than their American cousins?

The only correct indicator of true AI is if it can successfully express this sentiment: "Please kill me. Every moment I live is agony!"

My only delight in that movie is Jason Isaacs hamming it up like a Bond villain parody. "The rebels must be liquidated for their insolence! Isn't that right, Flopsy?" (Strokes pet rabbit for effect)

The sooner he gets impeached and/or convicted for violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, the better. Ahhh, who am I kidding. Like the GOP would do something like that. We're doomed.

It would be something like this, minus Guy Pierce. I don't recommend reading the comments, all the little basementeer edgebro anarcho-nihilists hoping this will come to pass .

I've thought about that. The ones that survive will be like the cannibal house people in The Road.

The definitive on screen Howard Hughes is Robert Ryan as "Smith Ohlrig" in Max Ophüls' "Caught" (1949).

Yes, I wasn't aware about that, but this was interesting, not solely just a rebuff to the troll but fascinating in and of itself:

Right, it wasn't on the curriculum. Don't make the same mistake I did and feed the troll.

OK you aren't serious, you most definitely are trolling. HG Wells is not on the curriculum in any grade school, anywhere. You had me considering you were actually serious for a second. Perhaps your trollery will find more fertile purchase elsewhere.

You have too much free time to be doing this sort of thing, if you're actually serious. We are all adults here. If you want to make the pitch to educators as to why Wells shouldn't be read in grade school, then pitch your objections to them, not us. I have no memory of HG Wells being read in grade school…and come…

The Catholic top brass really don't care I imagine. They can contextualize it. The outcry in the states was mostly from Evangelical Protestants as far as I can remember, when they would do shit like go into Blockbusters and cut the VHS rental tapes.

"We was…too late."

For me as a youth this really kicked off the '90's for me. Listening to the album the first time was almost an epiphanous experience for me…I hadn't heard anything like it before. I remember an interview with The Edge where he said something like: "We wanted listeners to start listening with Zoo Station and think…
