You’re maybe not the compassionate liberal you think you are if you’re fine with calling people “awful c-nts” for disagreeing about a salary.

I’m bristling over the fact that she called Bayonetta a $450 million franchise.  That does not seem possible.

I think there’s something specific to having success in the business side of nerd entertainment that translates into slur usage and homophobia.

Good points and I’ll add:

How dare you! The only proper responses to this are empty displays of solidarity with either the alleged victim or alleged abuser, performative rage at either the alleged victim or alleged abuser, and definitive statements about the psychology of domestic abuse from people who are not mental health professionals.

Has anyone checked to see if Zach Snyder is affiliated with the Bloodborne Remake? It feels like someone is trying to bot this thing into existence.

He doesn't know more about acting.  

Yea appropriation arguments are often coming from ostensibly progressive people, but often turn into borderline cultural segregationalist arguments when taken too far.

Woah woah woah! HOLD ON!

That makes sense. She got her start in The Mickey Mouse Club (with another notable decent musician-actor Justin Timberlake), so she had a bit of a background in it from an early age.

Yea they have the most reliably good chain cheesesteak, if you’re outside of the northeast... or outside of the range of my beloved Zero’s Subs in Southeast Virginia

Umm, for the same reason we arent watching Beyonce movies right now. He isn’t doing well in movies because he isn’t an actor, he’s a musician.

After Loki, Hiddleston is a hard pass for me.  He proved he is physically incapable of carrying an action scene.

I don’t have a problem with criticism about representation. But I don’t like deciding whether or not a show is falling into problematic representational patterns based on what happens in a single episode early in the first season, especially if the ethical barometer is “did a character die.” This is just not the kind…

Is having peanut butter ice cream prejudiced against people with nut allergies? Is frozen custard prejudiced towards people with egg allergies? Is the lack of sugar free deserts in a restaurant prejudiced against diabetics?

Honest question, would this site be so concerned about “the drama” of an actor not doing press for this movie if it was directed by, I don’t know, Peter Berg instead of Olivia Wilde?

Fahey seemed like the last bastion of the joyful early days of the internet. His genuine enthusiasm, especially after his medical issues, felt like a precious artifact from an ancient civilization that had mostly been snuffed out by anger fueled engagement algorithms, per-click monetization, and private equity. But…

Yea, but if we acknowledge the obvious fact that actors aren’t responsible for ensuring prop weapons aren’t actually deadly non-prop weapons, then we can’t keep writing shitty, smarmy clickbait at Jim Spanfeller’s request that completely undermine the credibility of this once great website.

The first half of Prey was a great half of a Predator movie. The second half of Prey was a terrible video game cut scene.

The current era of cringe over usage reminds me of how the media ran wild with the word twerking after Miley Cyrus’s 2013 VMA performance. It just reeks of aging media folks clinging to relevance with a new word-toy they heard from their interns.
