Am I really petty enough to hope Joker wins an award I don’t give two shits about just to spite the condescending cool kids at the AV Club?

See, on one hand I would be inclined to agree that the praise Joker receives is being graded on a rather generous curve, but on the other hand watching the sheer levels of COPE on behalf of AVC writers and commentariat has been absolutely fucking hilarious.

“...a slurry of bickering and memes, as is the house style, and which will likely regurgitate up some tepid clips on Saturday morning (...) crack[ing] the appearance of a joke.”

“But you should still tip based on the cost of the gold steaks.”

That evolution always made zero sense to me. 

I would never pay for another first class ticket if I knew that I could get one just for being a rewards member.

Fewer people will pay for the higher class, or use miles/cash to request an upgrade, if they know there’s a chance they could get it for free. That appears to be the airlines’ rationale.

He’s clearly saying it’s hard to feel sorry for people that ignore the same plights when it happens to people that are not them.

No I think they’re saying that it’s harder to empathize with people who spent their career pointedly not empathizing with others.

That in no way implies what you're claiming it implies.

Idris Elba deserves to star in a good movie. Someone please get him one. 

*Jeremy Renner misunderstands tweet and plans Spike TV party*

Wilson was reportedly able to secure her departure after an incident involving Jeffrey Reiner...

Meryl Streep won't watch her own work, and she's pretty good.

What is normal is that he set a very clear boundary of I do not watch or listen to clips of myself and they violated it so he walked out like a normal and healthy person would when their boundaries are violated. Terry Gross is the asshole here not Adam Driver.

Yeah, that’s the only thing that I wish they’d addressed more directly. It fucking sucks to be Doctor Manhattan. Everybody is so lustful of his power that they don’t take even a second to think about how nightmarishly trapped he is. 

I loved Watchmen, but come on, Damon.

Yeah he only joined the MLK rallies to support white people.

So, because a couple of slackjawed yokels on Twitter were offended on somebody else’s behalf, Boyega has to apologize for a statement in which he clearly was talking about himself.

“The internet has bred some dark moments, but few were as undoubtedly dismal as the suddenly trendy thirst for Ted Bundy and Charles Manson.”

Sudden? So, you were born in 2019? Or have you just never noticed that people have been obsessed with Bundy for 40 years and with Manson for HALF of a CENTURY?
