  1. How can anyone read that comic strip and come away with "the guy who drew that is defending Disney?" The artist is calling out awful fans for being shitty human beings. The point is that there's an objectively awful segment of the fanbase who is harassing actors. ACTORS! For having the temerity or starring in a film they didn't like, OR in some cases, the unmitigated gaul of just being cast. These fans are god damn lunatics and deserve to be ridiculed. Look, I found the prequels to be awful films and a disappointment. But that's not on Jake Lloyd or Ahmed Best. That's on George Lucas. And regardless, none should be harassed into feelings of suicide over a dumb space movie. The absolute best thing about Last Jedi is that it murdered the expectations of these manchildren and then peed on the corpse. Adults can watch it and feel like, "holy shit, that's a grown up Star Wars movie." And these incel chucklefucks can continue to post angry Youtube videos. Win-win.
  2. I like Homeland a lot and actually think the post-Brody seasons add up to being better than the Brody ones. I mean we got one and a half, MAYBE two good seasons out of Brody, and season three was a shitshow. But since then, I've thought the ensuing four season were great. So math dictates that the show is better without Brody. Not to mention his kids. Brody's. Fucking. Kids. Regardless, it's probably time to wrap it up and I'm glad they decided early and should be able to write a proper final chapter. I like Who Is America for the most part, but I can't see how an uneven half hour mockumentary comedy replaces and hourlong thriller.
  3. I just feel bad for people far away and in no way related to the events of Infinity War who have no idea what happened. Imagine you wake up on LV-426 or wherever and half your peeps are gone and you have no idea why, and likely will never know.
  4. Missed opportunity. Cut a few frames and it would have looped perfectly. Endless dropkick competition.
  5. Well Vince didn't want to hire and/or push Gail Kim because he couldn't even begin to conceive of anyone finding Asian women attractive. And if the Kurt Angle/Sharmell stroyline is a window into Vince's psyche, he also believes sex with blacks is akin to bestiality.
  6. I liked all the Terminator sequels. None are going to touch Judgment Day, obviously, but all are fun in their own way and not egregiously bad.
  7. I was googling for Undertaker 2000 gear to make sure I got the year right for the "fat Taker with blue denim shirt" look when I saw those awful pants. Consensus was that he lost his gear and borrowed pants from Godfather that night (Survivor Series, I think).
  8. Or any PWG show from 2014/15 (including Baszler in the front row).
  9. I'm not sure if anything beats his 2000 look. Overweight, baggy blue denim shirt, ill-fitting trenchcoat, bandana and sunglasses. Looked like a tall hillbilly Sam Kinison.
  10. You joke, but having grown up in Baltimore, I can tell you you're probably right.
  11. LOL I saw this a few weeks ago because my office gym's in-equipment TV system is fucked and only gets like 3 channels. At 6am, it's all infomercials and I've seen the PiYo one 8 times already.
  12. This is a gold mine so far. LOL'ing at this:
  13. I...love it...WHEN...trailers SPLICE....dialogueFROMDIFFERENT....parts of the........MOVIEto...make a sentence For fuck's sake, the speech at the start of the trailer sounds like it's cobbled from at least six different bits of dialogue. At some point, isn't it easier to just Skype the actor and have him read the line you need for the trailer? Fuck, just text him the line and have him read it into your voicemail.
  14. hey guys can somebody tell me about the pros/cons of kaiju.net and/or crush kill crush kthx
  15. It seemed a little strained, to hear Meltzer tell it. He mentioned on last night's show that Jerry had been helping Brian out whenever he fell down (helping with rehab, maybe bail, I surmise, and telling him he'd help him get a job if he'd stay clean for a year). It sounded like, after this last arrest, Jerry was apparently of the opinion that maybe a jail stay would be the only thing to straighten him out. I'm not a fan of Lawler but I can't imagine how he feels right now.
  16. Little Stone Cold looks like my daughter when I tell her she can't have a Chips Ahoy Little Rock looks like Kim Jong Il
  17. Cut to Vince dancing around Titan Tower while "Arab Money" plays on loop like he's Yusef Amir from GTA.
  18. I just got back from the company lunchroom and Megyn Kelly's show is on TV. Hollywood is so liberal that they hired a Fox News anchor who famously told the world, "trust me, Santa is white." And cohosting the show is George W. Bush's daughter. But Hollywood is very liberal, driven by a liberal agenda.
  19. @lurkerbelow First of all, welcome, and thanks for posting. The right's "Hollywood is full of liberals pushing the liberal agenda down our throats" is so tired and false. A great deal of what you generalize as "Hollywood" is full of fake liberals who are racist and sexist as fuck. If Hollywood was some shining beacon of happy liberalism and all that liberalism entails, why are so many major players going down in the me too movement? Why are there protests every year of the Oscars being so white? Why does a guy like Cliff Curtis get cast in roles for at least five different races? Institutional racism is a thing (the "sin" of being born a white male, as you say) and, with Hollywood essentially being run by white guys, bet your sweet ass it's not as liberal and inclusive as you assume. Liberalism in Hollywood is like cutting down the woods to build condos, then "offsetting" it by planting a tree somewhere. These guys might support "liberal" causes, but that's just to assuage their guilt from being awful people in their everyday lives. Hollywood execs supporting liberal causes is like Ted Cruz going duck hunting. It plays well to the base. Right wingers take anything that challenges the straight white male status quo as a personal attack, like holy shit, how dare anyone cast a woman or POC when a straight white guy could fill the role? Look at Marvel as an example. How can you complain about forced diversity, "blackwashing," etc when the cornerstone of the multi billion dollar Marvel Cinematic Universe is three white guys? But a lesser Thor character the general public has never heard of gets a black actor cast in the role and suddenly it's indicative of Hollywood pushing an evil liberal agenda. Releasing Black Panther after the previous SEVENTEEN MCU films centered around white guys is somehow indicative of that damn liberal elite doing the SJW thing again. TL;DR there's no liberal agenda. Hollywood is run by the studio gangsta equivalent of liberals. Butthurt righties see every tiny stride toward making things 1% less white and male as a personal attack and indicative of some bogeyman Rush Limbaugh told them about. Trust me, friend, the only color Hollywood cares about is green. Also: there's a cartoon I saw online where there's a global warming summit and one scientist is raising his hand, saying, "WAIT! What if this is all a hoax and we make the environment and the world better for nothing???" Even if there were a "liberal agenda" in film and TV, who cares? Is it so bad that people who have been criminally misrepresented forever can get more work today than before? Who is being harmed in this scenario? This is why people who decry "PC culture" are labelled racists and sexists. Because there's no reason, except hate, to be against inclusiveness movements.
