One of the core themes is that relationships are what get you through existence and in the case of Witcher’s setting an incredibly bleak one at that. So yeah...he doesn’t get left alone a lot.

He was convicted and overall the media is doing a pretty terrible job describing what this man actually did. The “enemy soldier” he himself even admitted to taking photos with after his death, which by the way was the SEAL slitting his throat, was a 14 year old boy who was sedated because he was undergoing medical…

To say they created Game of Thrones is pretty inaccurate. It was an incredibly well selling series long before it aired. The TV show increased awareness obviously, as it always does, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that after they show got passed the original sources and had to come up with things on their own…

It is weird that we’ve already had the equivalent of what Unforgiven was for Westerns already in Logan and its still going strong. Though to be fair, Watchmen was a harsh deconstruction and it was in 1985.

I’m pretty excited too. There was a beautiful essay on the film and the overall experience of watching it in the New York Times Sunday magazine this past Sunday by Carvell Wallace.

Brokaw is in there too. A former NBC anchor and war correspondent came forward about him trying to forcibly kiss her and a general culture of harassment.

This is true to some extent but the whole notion of Democrat’s not voting out of choice is not accurate. The Democrat base is made up of minorities, a group whose voter right’s have been infringed on by the GOP for decades. Its not that these groups do not want to vote it’s that they face consequences or have to jump…

This is the second out of conference game they have messed up at the end this season too.

Does she still have the transphobic Trump supporter working as one of her assistants and staff though?

If anyone doubts it just search for the New York Times sunday magazine piece on him last year. It highlights everything you would expect from him, mainly he’ll do anything for fame and money and seems to genuinely enjoy hurting people. The piece points out how we have a reality tv President and the general culture of…

He is guilty of trying to force a miscarriage on the same woman in college, has shown a history of abuse, and is caught on a phone call after this incident threatening the woman involved. But sure, its just all speculation.

And how exactly do they get to the status you deem appropriate if they are never cast in higher profile roles and movies? Practically every year the Oscars have some relative unknown person get a ton of attention so don’t act like only “bankable” people get these jobs.

Its a different experience for the celebrity members. They receive incredibly fawning treatment with regular members being basically slaves to them. Tom Cruise’s homes are all maintained by non-celebrity members for instance.

Yeah and I think the satire is actually more subtle and better in those early movies too. The Other Guys was McKay working out what would eventually be a more overt focus in The Big Short. Ricky Bobby still goes over the heads of the people it’s most making fun of somehow. I get a kick out of seeing it on CMT every…

This one they reconcile because Jordan was “one of the good ones” and never spoke out about any civil rights issues while playing or retired so far, for that matter. 

Did  you see the “flying” classes where its people uncomfortably hopping while sitting? So much of these things can be laughed at but there are a lot of dangers with TM. The community around that town is rife with abuse that is akin to Scientology, e.g. children and partners being forced to take part under pain of…

The problem is that the branch of Christianity he is following does actively hurt people. Hillsong and the other “cool” churches like Passion and way to many more are particularly insidious. On the surface its just one giant love bomb very purposefully staying away from any actual theological discussions. Most people…

Probly be on SNL and work with all of the other comedians, like John Mulaney, who dig his work. Probly that.

I really enjoyed that movie but its really hard to watch it now. Worse, for me, is LA Confidential which is a movie I really love and even though he isn’t the main focus, he’s in it enough to make it unwatchable now.

I think you just hit it for me. There’s the struggle for content but that’s fairly typical. But more than that, like you said, the classes just don’t feel fun. The levelling experience was so unenjoyable for some of my mains this time around. Some of that was mob density in new areas that felt like lazy planning but…
