That too!

It looked like a lot of the students walking out already had diploma placards, which was weird - they always give those out after the speaker at every graduation I've attended, and shit, if I already walked the stage, I'd be gone too.

See: how people lost their shit when HBO said Westworld probably wasn't coming back until 2018. Or, on the music side, how people lost their shit when Frank Ocean went FOUR WHOLE YEARS without releasing new music.

I've only ever interacted with celebrities I like, but I always thought that even if it was a famous person I hated, I'd go into autopilot praise mode, or clam up, or otherwise not be a dick.

I figured that's what happened. I guess the trolls just didn't bother to filter into the other articles, which I thought was weird.

So, what the hell happened with that Dwayne Johnson thread? The moderators are finally clamping it down, but it's hovering around 2000 comments as of this moment, and all the other political articles today seemed to get the usual number of comments. Don't these troll brigades usually focus on a whole site, and not

I'm curious as to who is actually invested in this feud. It seems very teenage girl fanbase, but I imagine all three of their fanbases are aging into their early-to-mid-20s. And yes, I acknowledge that being a victim is a big part of Taylor's image.

There's zero chance this isn't my favorite movie of the year.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA in human form.

I'm glad he went with the theatrical ending. This one would have been an exceptionally dark and realistic one, but I think we still got that beat when the cop car pulled up (everyone in the audience tensed up when that happened). And downer horror endings work better if the characters are terrible people, which he

This summer, Rob Schneider is a Dutch king…

WHO'S AN AIRLINE PILOT?

Rated PG-13!

The trailer for this played before Beauty and the Beast, and there's a scene where Tom Everett Scott and Alicia Silverstone torment their children with a Wannabe singalong, and you could feel everyone over the age of 25 in the theater uncomfortably confront the passage of time.

Roger Christian worked on Alien, Star Wars, and Return of the Jedi. He won an Oscar for Star Wars.

Repetitive lyrics don't bother me as much as repetitive notes and rhythms. Yes, Rihanna has repetitive lyrics, but a more central problem is that a song like We Found Love is four notes and a one-bar rhythm for four straight minutes, and it's monotonous by the end of the first chorus.

I am DYING with anticipation for the coverage of How To Talk To Girls At Parties, a John Cameron Mitchell-directed adaptation of a Neil Gaiman short story that features Nicole Kidman looking like this:

Warner Bros. acquired the rights to this remake in 2002. Here's a video from 2008 making fun of the inevitable whitewashed Akira.

The Dark Knight Rises ended on an ambiguous note?

This sounds like any random bar in Wrigleyville after a Cubs game.

I wonder if TJ Miller is the only one willing to promote this movie, sort of like how Seann William Scott was the only one who showed up to the Movie 43 premiere. That's the only explanation for why a studio would think "dry, awkward comedian" was a good promo strategy.

Holly Hunter and Ron Silver played these parts in a TV movie in the early 00s. It wasn't good.
