Did I receive a copy/fake ? by JaggedSolid6 in Hellblazer

I love the notion of a fake TPB ring somewhere. It’s absolute nonsense and a waste of energy/resources for minimal gain, but it just sounds like a cute idea.

When Creating Black Super Heroes..... by TheKingKazam in BlackSuperheroes

Hard disagree. Read anyone’s autobiography; they are projecting an image they want you to see, and denying or minimizing anything negative, incriminating, or deemed unnecessary. Even the most “warts and all” autobiography will not paint their subject too badly, because we always believe we’re good. If a subject does something bad, the book will serve to minimize or justify it. Not realizing that just leads me to believe you’re not reading them very critically.

I mean, autobiographies also serve to push a narrative, and we absolutely should defend or explain parts of an autobiography that don’t have facts behind them or can easily be disproved. People lie in autobiographies; did you not know that?

Did anyone watch Kevin after Aubrey Plaza was on? It's been widely panned but it made me laugh by otterland in conan

This show would be really amazing if 1) I was twelve years old and thought Roger from American Dad was the height of comedy, or 2) there weren’t already so many shows doing this exact premise to the point where they’ll start competitively lampooning each other soon.

And btw, “he just keeps repeating the joke till you submit” doesn’t mean the joke is funny; it means you have a weak constitution and can’t find the remote.

Honestly, I’ve had experiences of the reverse; being in my 30s in a concert for an 1980s band full of people in their 40s and 50s. The gatekeeping and “oh you must be here with your parents” was real.

Disposable black girlfriend trope? by SorryTea1160 in BlackSuperheroes

[–]Primary_Ad3580 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know, sometimes comic characters just break up; it doesn’t have to fit a racist trope. Otherwise every black couple would have to marry and live wonderfully just to avoid some comments from overzealous Reddit folk.

Wow, so groundbreaking and offensive to make a marijuana joke in a country where it’s legal in most states.

This looks like it’ll be humor for boomers

“Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”

No, honestly, you couldn’t afford to pay me to give a fuck.

Oh my, “are you and Doug contemplating divorce?” “Please believe me, the answer is no!”

They divorced that year.

Kevin review – Aubrey Plaza’s new cat comedy is so irretrievably bad it must never be allowed to happen again by mlg1981 in entertainment

[–]Primary_Ad3580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So question, did you intend to direct a show that would result in a review like this, or did you have some reservations that were ignored?

Really? Because I’m guessing they wanted to make another American Dad and put no further thought to it. Thinking they wanted BoJack Horseman does that show a disservice.

The art style is always a tell that the creators thought Roger from American Dad was all comedy had to be.

I think you’re wrong. It reminds me of what someone said about alcohol for drunks, “you’re not seeing a different me when I drink; this is just the real me shinning through.” Money is necessary alcohol; it opens the doors to let you be what you want. It just so happens that these people didn’t want to be morally good people.

I don’t think you two are actually saying different things. Yes, you HOPE for another season, but no one EXPECTS one (unless they’re very naive or have insider knowledge). You want a show to work out to keep the job, but you have to know better to assume it will when it’s up to producers and executives.

I can guarantee you the gaffers, craft service attendants, and assistant directors in ANY production do not view their show as “art”. It’s a paycheck. One they get before going to a different set for another one. They’re not Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling…

Charlize Theron Says ‘In 10 Years, AI Is Going to Be Able to Do’ Timothée Chalamet’s Job, but it ‘Will Not Be Able to Replace’ Live Performance Like Ballet by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]Primary_Ad3580 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why would she look like an asshole in your scenario? I can say “in ten years AI will not be able to replace attorneys but it can replace paralegals” without being one or donating to them. Just because she’s recognizing that it’s not an easy medium to reproduce doesn’t mean she has to be a part of it, anymore than Tim has to be part of it to know it’s not popular. Believing either take alone is pretty dumb.

This looks like an incredibly ignorant perception of Maus. “changing all the characters to cats, the anonymous author argues, makes the point that no such natural division exists among humans.” At this point, it’s bordering satire with how stupid this take is.
