“I was made to assist you” is perhaps the most chilling line in all that.
I know you don’t do video games, amiga, but...
Actually no, Apple didn’t make the “1984" ad. It was directed by Ridley Scott and conceived by Steve Hayden, Brent Thomas and Lee Clow of the ad agency Chiat/Day. All those people are long retired. Apple’s only role in making that ad was for Steve Jobs to listen to their pitch, say yes, and sign off on the massive…
Yeah. The scariest shit about American Nazis is they think they’re the good guys.
It’s rare to see someone with her physique get a role in Hollywood, and rarer still for that role to be something other than the “ugly friend” in a comedy. It was cool seeing a female meathead do the stoic badass with a tragic past thing, because that almost always goes to an Ahnold-type dude. Her character got into a…
John Lennon was pretty effectively cancelled.
Carano is currently suing Disney for wrongful termination and discrimination. Does she have a case? Who knows. The mysteries of the law are beautiful and strange.
As it is “Cancel Culture” is hardly exclusive to the right, and it’s not even new. Colin Kaepernick got blackballed from the NFL for taking a knee, The Dixie Chicks took a massive career hit after denouncing the war in Iraq, heck, the Beatles got cancelled after they were quoted out of context when they said they were…
There were also rumors that she was saying transphobic things around Pedro (whose sister is trans). She was warned by her agent and Disney multiple times to stop tweeting and saying stupid shit. She was given three chances to change, and she decided that standing up for her right to be an ignorant moron was more…
Correction: You really liked “beep” in Haywire.
I don’t understand why she even wants the gig. As a nazi why would she want to play antifa anyway?
My favourite thing is that she thought she could have a new career doing an alt-right movie like Terror On The Prairie and then alt-right audiences were like ‘women should be thin and submissive’ and didn’t watch it.
...and the AV Club hits a new low, when the commentariat has to explain jokes to the writing staff.
Okay, she’s not explicitly saying it now either, but it’s clearly her attitude towards widely derided tentpole and future cult classic Madame Web, which she was in despite her quip to the contrary (“you definitely did not see me in Madame Web”) last week on Saturday Night Live.
The prequel trilogy is as despised as it always was by the people that despised it. The difference is that the opinions of 8 year olds who loved the movie at the time didn’t count and now they’re in their 30s and are counted as part of the conversation. I would guess the number of adults who saw it in theaters and…
No, the prequels haven’t been “normalized” or redeemed. Showing them on regular cable a lot doesn’t make them better. Excusing them as “children’s films” or pointing out that Rise of Skywalker is worse doesn’t make them better or justify their low quality.
Climactic battle set at Woodstock ‘99?
Problem being, the turn of the century now sort of means that Turner would be a big fan of Limp Bizkit and Surge soda.
do you have a macro for these written or is this all bespoke posting
