I don't think you know what privilege is.

In what way is that using privilege?

Doesn't Lupin say something to the effect of that to Harry, about his dad, in the 5th book?

Just saying, taking someone to task for trying to find representation in mainstream pop culture is kind of shitty. Save the snark for targets that deserve it.

I hate to be this person, but my inner Potter nerd cannot resist. Dumbledore left Harry in the care of the Dursleys because Petunia was his blood relative, and thus shared Lily's blood, which protected Harry from Voldemort.

I wonder what it's like to have normative privilege and take it for granted.

"But despite all the magic of Harry Potter’s world, that subtext seems cursed to remain below the surface."

I saw this Tuesday night as part of a one night screening with clips of Kevin Smith Q&A shown before and after the movie. Just before it started, an interstitial card came up that read "Stay after the credits for a brief Q&A with Kevin Smith". The guy sitting in front of me quietly muttered, "There's no such thing as…

Say what you want about Jersey Girl, but it features the only truly substantial dramatic performance of George Carlin's career, and that alone is noteworthy.

I saw Yoga Hosers and I actually laughed harder than I have in a movie theater in a long time. Not as a direct result of the movie though, but because my friend pointed out to me that the Bratzi closely resembled a friend of ours.

You could barley get through it? Does that mean you had to drink a refreshing wheat ale to be able to watch the trailer?

There's actually one scene where he does a slow pullback on Johnny Depp and the two girls at the head of a table while the villain monologues at the other end that was kind of visually arresting. I momentarily forgot how awful the movie was, and I've been a Kevin Smith apologist all the way through Tusk. This is where…

I can't stop listening to Junkie Church. The lyric "I used your ribs as ladders, and I climbed up on your chest, and I jumped up and down just like a trampoline" is devastating in a way that only AJJ can pull off.

I came here to say pretty much exactly this. I'm not digging this album as immediately as I did Christmas Island, but Small Red Boy is AJJ at their best. "I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us" might as well be Sean Bonnette's thesis statement.

Do musical theater snobs regard Robert Lopez as mediocre? Is that really a thing? Isn't he the youngest person to ever EGOT? Or did it the fastest, or something like that.

In what way does that footage prove Heard's accusations to be true? All I see is a drunk guy breaking shit. He never hits her or threatens her.

This made me laugh. It almost made it worth reading this stupid anonymous internet exchange.

I went into Green Lantern expecting an absolutely train-wreck and was surprised to find that it's perfectly fine. I watched it again 6 months later to make sure I wasn't crazy, and I still kind of enjoyed it. I watched it again recently, one last time, juuuust to be sure, and it's still not bad.

You're forgetting Riblet. Tell me who else could do a better jorb.
