Soderbergh thought he was smarter than the industry, he only spent half the usual marketing dollars, $20 million instead of $40 million. And he’s going on about how the film is in profit and other hogwash

imo when people really attached to the status quo start spouting gibberish about how you didn't really succeed because you didn't do all the things they deem correct ($40 million on marketing!) then you might be doing just fine

Then again, Taylor Swift is a woman of her times. Embattled, self-righteously taking on all detractors, just like the President.And by pointing this out I'm seen as part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution.But someone has to stand up for truth.And I'm not worrying about payback, SHE ALREADY WROTE A SONG ABOUT ME!

I’m a jeans and polo shirt kind of guy. That was a big breakthrough in high school, the ability to wear jeans to class. But back then we called them “dungarees.”

Me On CNN
in which bob shaves ("i'm bad at it"), is driven to the cnn studio in hollywood, is ushered past cnn security ("if you're on the list, you're golden. that's what life's all about, being on the list"), gets his makeup done, goes on some cnn show to talk about eminem (because i guess keith olbermann wasn't available?), meets one of harvey weinstein's victims ("a very attractive woman"), watches her get even more attractive when the makeup artist applies lipliner and lipstick, realizes that life's an illusion, and concludes that donald j. trump is "no match" for marshall mathers.
also, there's video of his cnn appearance.
amazing.

I'm eating fruitcake.I know, I know, it's supposed to be inedible, you're supposed to pass it on to some out of the loop friend as a gift, there are fruitcakes from the 1800s still circulating, but this one is pretty damn good, it came from Whole Foods with a gingerbread base and nothing involved speaks to my holiday memories since I'm Jewish, but I'm all up for new traditions, as long as you don't put a Christmas tree up in the house, who knows what's next, a cross?

Curiosity got the better of me after reading this thread, so I signed up and it's quite the ride. This line from the latest one about Petty is just too much to not post:
And it was all in our heads. This was long before MTV. Production at shows was limited. You bought the vinyl and spun it alone in your room and transcended, you had to go to the show not to shoot selfies, not to say you were there, BUT TO PRAY AT THE CHURCH OF YOUR SOUL!

unsurprisingly the top comment is something about how taylor swift can't sing live, as if that exonerates lefsetz for sexism

Wait, are we back to "hating Taylor Swift is anti-feminist" because I thought we moved onto "liking talentless white becky Taylor Swift is neo-nazism"

Lefsetz is the same writer who saw Beyoncé perform at the 2013 Super Bowl and remarked that he wasn’t sure what to do afterwards, “join a gym or masturbate.” He’s the same critic who assured readers that if they wanted to “get laid” they should go to a One Direction show. “An endless sea of barely pubescent girls, screaming their heads off,” he wrote. He dedicated an entire letter to Emily Ratajkowski’s cameo in the “Blurred Lines” video because “it was the only thing that had me watching, who was the girl with the perfect breasts?”
