Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

/ speaking at Barnes & Nobles/

i mean i'm not defending comey here but he put out a book iirc?

I once saw Juliette Binoche in a B&N.

Correction: Charles _to_ be on a future ep of TWiA, as tomorrow they’re watching a Hallmark movie involving the legal system

I've been enjoying these one-off candidate interviews

BONUS: Virgil’s interview with Dan Canon, civil rights lawyer and candidate for the U.S. House @dancanon 🌽🌽🌽 https://t.co/vQGYA1fbH5

James Adomian is on Katie Halper’s show:

i enjoyed Beyond the Filter and the discussion of the internet of yore (tho it sounds like im ~5 years older than Felix). exciting to hear anyone talk about Ulillillia!

Oh cool maybe he’ll talk about Seth Rich.

no new ep yet?

should be tonight, sadly I'm expecting an Infinity War ep

ideally they'll bring on every guest they've ever had and have everyone talk over each other

Lol

ugh whyyyy

is there any kind of political angle to that movie? i get Wonder Woman obv

that reminds me Red Scare ripped the new Amy Schumer movie apart https://soundcloud.com/red-scare-727066439/i-feel-petty great ep, my new favorite podcast

yeah it's really grown on me, I like that they keep it under an hour and a nice blend of high/lowbrow topics

A podcast hosted by Anna Khachiyan, avowed Camille Paglia fangirl, is a tough sell for me

they semi-regularly say shit I disagree with but it's fairly entertaining regardless

I find her twitter persona obnoxious but for some reason AK’s schtick is more palatable in podcast form

Oh yeah CTH's take on movie theaters is fucking stupid. I've never been to an Alamo Drafthouse but anyone that uses their phone in a movie theater should be kicked out.

thankfully I was wrong re Avengers

I was dreading more WHCD content but Matt's rant made it worthwhile.

the dennis miller thing at the beginning cracked me up

I thought they were joking about Chapo Twitch at first. Very on brand.

Well, people have been asking them to do one for like a year now, too

whats their take on movie theaters?

IIRC it was mostly Amber complaining about people who rat out loud audience members to theater employees. She referred to them as snitches or cops or something like that.

they think people should be able to text/use their phones in movie theaters

Amber otm. as annoying as that is, narcs suck

Nah fuck theater goers they deserve fascism

we need narcs

especially in movie theaters

The Alamo experience is what you’re paying for. If you don’t like it, go to one of the many other movie theaters housed in the mostly large towns they’re in.

Oh no, this theater is full of narcs, however will I see Infinity War in New York City?!

tbf Amber thinks everyone is a cop

The Alamo experience is what you’re paying for. If you don’t like it, go to one of the many other movie theaters housed in the mostly large towns they’re in.

I get the idea that big dumb shitty movies don't require absolute silence like you're watching The Passion of Joan of Arc but that's why you find an empty matinee (okay, not really an option in NY) or pirate that shit and watch it on Virgil's floor TV.

The best moment I've had in a theater was from audience participation (a teenage girl stood up during the reveal of Orphan and yelled "Esther got titties!") but Matt complaining and farting would not be pleasant.

audience reaction/participation can be amazing

but ime it's only been when the audience member/whole audience was completely focused on and in tune with the movie

They're not the first ones to denounce complaints over cinema talking/texting as bourgie affectations - classic Hollywood audiences didn't sit in silence, neither do Bollywood audiences, etc. It's whatever, I still like to watch movies that way.

The woman w/ aspergers who got thrown out of a BFI screening of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" for laughing too loudly at comedic moments was a real bummer tho, fuck the narcs in that case.

being loud/reacting to stuff on screen is fine, pulling out yr fuckin' cell phone in a dark theater is vile

we need narcs

this explains a lot about your politics.

what if it's a couple out on a date with their kid at home w the babysitter and they want to periodically check on how things are going? what if it's somebody with a sick parent waiting to hear news from the hospital?

i guess fuck that, "Oh mr theater authority! They are cheating!"

you are in public ffs. if you want to watch movies in a hermetically isolated chamber you can do that.

how about maybe a new thread for this topic

Yeah, I would post in it a lot

okay, maybe not a new thread for this topic then

what if it's somebody with a sick parent waiting to hear news from the hospital?

There's a story on the latest This American Life about the class of kids who got kicked out of a screening of Schindler's List and became the media's face of black antisemetism

Alamo Drafthouse and also politics of talking during the movies thread

Which CTH episode is this all stemming from?
