"So much for the tolerant left!"
I am very tolerant. For instance, if you're MAGA and refusing to take Tylenol for a dangerously high fever, I support you. Drink the raw milk, it's your God given right as an American! Diet and exercise DO cure cancer! I support you 100%

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. Thereβs no point at which they will say βweβve won, letβs enjoy life.β They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. Theyβre empty without that.

Many years ago I bought a bottle for my girlfriend at the time on my way home from Chicago because she really wanted to try it. We did a shot together and I hated it so so much. I just wanted the taste to go away and it kept getting worse. She actually really loved it and would sip it straight

For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all

βThe Last Boy Scoutβ opens with a sequence of such sudden and unexpected violence that the audience is stunned into uneasy silence.
The movie never looks back. Perhaps propelled by the determination of its star, Bruce Willis, to erase the box-office curse of βHudson Hawk,β this film panders with such determination to the base instincts of the action crowd that it will, I am sure, be an enormous hit.
It was produced by Joel Silver, who has made violence toward women a key element in his films, and cheerfully expands its horizons to violence toward children β providing the Willis character with a foul-mouthed 13-year-old daughter who is hauled around by bad guys with a gun pointed at her temple. (The film is rated R, proving that violence alone cannot earn the NC-17 rating.) It is some kind of a tribute to Tony Scott, who directed the film, and especially to Shane Black and Greg Hicks, who wrote the screenplay, that this material survives its own complete cynicism and somehow actually works. Watching it, I felt like some weatherbeaten innocent from an earlier, simpler time. My distaste was irrelevant.
This movie is the future. It assumes the average audience now has no standards except those of the mob.
The only consistent theme of the film is its hatred of women. The two heroes (Willis and Damon Wayans) have a wife and a girlfriend, respectively, who cheat on them β the wife with Willisβ best friend, the girlfriend by prostituting herself. Both men are at home in this screenplay, which hates women with a particular viciousness; the verbal violence begins by calling them bitches and whores and worse, over and over again, and the message is that a man can only really trust another man.

just rewatched The Last Boy Scout, a movie i cannot analyze objectively because i have loved it since childhood. But goddamn Ebert's review of it is both hard as fuck and prescient.

I agree that he does overuse the word but he really nails the blatant racism of that kind of guy in that generation. In RD when they're talking about the waitress who glued her boyfriend's dick to his belly I literally felt like I was listening to my racist dad and his friends.

This film didn't start the rumor that a palm to the nose will kill a guy, but it confirmed it for 100% certain to 15 year old me. I wasn't disabused of this until I was in my early 30's reading a Cracked article. I did not want to be disabused

So I got in the elevator with three people and my hands full. The woman standing next to the buttons asks "Which floor?" I said 21. The guy getting on after me says 22. Okay, bitch, we're all impressed you're on 22, Mr. Fancypants. When the revolution comes you'll be the first against the wall.
