Ah, I wasn’t even really thinking of Phoenix, but excellent reference, and he sounds like such a mess. To be fair though, most of what I know about the dude is from “The Superhero Complex” podcast.

I feel like a lot of people knew who Phoenix was though, and so he was at least accountable for his actions in most cases. ICE appears to be acting in a way to purposely avoid accountability.

Go back to when Aerosmith released their debut album and introduce 24 year old Steven Tyler to the music of 77 year old Steven Tyler.

The whole masked officers thing really got me wondering how society would respond to a Batman like figure. I don’t think I realized bofore the ICE raids how absolutely horrible the concept of masked superheros was for a free society, even after consuming some media that tried to focus on this issue, like the Watchmen.

I don’t know how it originated, like if the number has significance, but in practice it just means to expel a person from a place. I think it’s a ban in most cases in which the person would not be welcomed back.

It’s not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a “martyr” is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming “martyrs” by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That’s not what the word means, and you’re just becoming a murderer.

Could start by at least listing Professorozone in the canceled subscriptions.

I also don’t subscribe, but have paid to watch the occasional Marvel movie. I’m happy to pass on whatever they’ve got lined up next if it gets them to take their role in fostering free speech more seriously.

What’s with this “you” middle man? Let’s just get rid of that and have shareholders-robots.

Absurd, and delightfully wholesome. Wish I could give more upvote.

If cancel culture was really a problem for them, they would have been screaming on Fox every night while Colin Kaepernick was being shunned by every NFL team.

Following Seinfeld’s logic, maybe Michael Richards’ popping off with the n-word is a “little better here” than Jerry’s dishonest insinuation that the Free Palestine demonstrators are all antisemitic.

Hey Jealousy by The Gin Blossoms comes to mind.

The real victim here is Jaden. Imagine your dad not handing you movie roles anymore because he fucked his own career. So unfair.

It might be fun to be the doctor giving the confirmation. Like, “congratulations person, you have met the minimum requirements to be recognized as a male competitor in the sport competition.”

But that’s why we don’t let people with red hair compete in sports either.

John C Riley is an uncomfortable mess in everything he’s in and I cannot stand it. The exception is everything he’s in, which is delightfully uncomfortable.

Also kinda similar is Buried with Ryan Reynolds. Just him in a box the whole movie.

Less noble person: Always carry some extra drugs for when someone in need asks…

“Good” is a pretty subjective term, especially in this context, but I would agree to the point that the amount of money made is not the best metric of a “good” movie. Anyway, Scorsese is pretty easy to ignore as we all go on with our lives, and I hope he doesn’t take away from anyone’s enjoyment of whatever movies they want to watch.
