You may be setting your expectations a bit high considering it’s Sam, who they pay in bottles of whiskey.

The odiousness in feigning snarky confusion that a trailer made to advertise Netflix doesn’t thoroughly outline the films it teases is matched only by the sheer desperation in hanging the whole article on a single shot that may or may not be in Knives Out 2.

Note: Che died on the way back to their home planet.

Werner Herzog was in the first movie.

Lee Child said that. I paraphrase, but he said that Reacher’s size makes him unstoppable, and Cruise has that unstoppability factor but in a different way.

Cruise is perfect apart from height and he's too good looking. Ritchson seems too friendly but I'm hoping it works out ok in the show. 

Could be that I was unfamiliar with the character before I saw the movies and had no preconceived notions, but I thought Cruise was great in the role. And I think the first film is a classic. The 2nd was serviceable, and it was likely best they stopped there. I get that Cruise is nowhere near the size of the…

I loved the first Reacher film, I don’t care what anyone says. Shame about the second.

Not just the bay area. We loved them in SoCal too. RIP Frys.

so bummed when they closed the Campbell location...and the Burbank CA location was such a 50's sci fi nerd paradise (and the best of all Fry’s locations aesthetically).

That’s sad. Fry’s was an institution in the Bay Area for decades but there’s fewer hackers now and people would rather get stuff shipped from Amazon.

Reviewing prestige TV is pointless without ZMF or those guys who would post reviews in the comments that were longer and better than the posts themselves. Plus nothing on TV currently “owns.” Succession and Righteous Gemstones are both good shows, but there’s not a lot of OWNAGE.*

Barsanti article = opinion piece.

In other words: we’ve already decided on the narrative (Justin Timberlake bad, Janet Jackson good), and we’re not deviating from it now.

Truly a damned if he did, damned if he didn’t situation.  

Alright, now I’m pissed. I was not expecting to have to sympathize with fucking Justin Timberlake of all people today. But that passage there—

there was no malfunction. there was magnificent showpiece jewelry on her nipple. it was meant to be seen. it was not a pastie or an anti-chafing bandage, it was 4" diameter gold nipple jewelry covered by a designed to be removed hunk of bustier.

fuck our prudish puritan mysogynist country. beautiful woman wanted to…

for an incident that was definitely more his fault than her fault

[Jackson] adding, “If I were you, I wouldn’t say anything.” Of course, Timberlake should’ve recognized that that doesn’t literally mean “don’t say anything,” so one could argue that it’s still fair to point out that his lack of a response did nothing but benefit him and lay all of the blame on her, but that would be…

… because The AV Club has sneeringly determined that Yellowstone is a dumb show that only old, white middle Americans like.
