Colbert has only disavowed his Comedy Central persona insofar as he is on a different television program

A part of me can understand him wanting to distance himself from that persona as people legitimately thought he held the views/opinions of that character.
My own uncle simply refused to believe he was liberal even when I provided evidence.

Has Stewart ever apologized for or even acknowledged that one super transphobic joke that resurfaced from The Daily Show a while back? I won’t link it here, but it was fucking vile.
I saw Mortal Engines. I’m kinda surprised at the largely negative reviews. I thought it was good. I guess it could have been more exciting and I wish it didn’t have a revolving door or perfunctory characters to move along the plot but it was thoroughly enjoyable for me. And I do love Agent Elrond. Haven’t seen him in anything in awhile. More please.

I read in an article once on alternative lifestyles that informed me that Pitbull music was super super popular in the Swinger scene.
That was literally the sum of everything I knew about Pitbull's music for the last... 2 years?
Given enough time, the SE++ Movie Thread will find evidence that everyone, ever was a terrible person after all, and nothing was ever good.
Nah, we aren't saying to salt the earth of everything Colbert has done.
But we should be able to critique & express our dissatisfaction with him.
If I hated Colbert I wouldn't want him to grow & improve.
Oh, totally agreed. I was more just making a dark humor post about it, because I've learned more shitty things about people/films that I loved from here in the few years I've been visiting than I have during the rest of my life from all other sources. Something something, monkeys, typewriters, and Shakespeare.
Speaking of good things, Roma definitely falls into that category. Made me laugh and cry.
It's a movie that might just be worth just listening to because the sound design and editing is just so good. It really pulls you into the world it presents.
That's not to say that the visual side isn't gorgeous. It is.

I realized I've been completely derelict in talking about one of my favorite movies of 2018 - one that I haven't seen mentioned on the forums at all that I can recall.
Heavy Trip is an absolute blast to watch. It is undoubtedly the funniest, and sweetest, film about a Finnish symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding christ-abusing extreme war pagan fennoscandian metal band that you will ever see. It's about a group of friends who only want to be a successful metal band and are unsurprisingly misunderstood and poorly treated by the people of their small town, and how they finally start to move beyond playing covers in their guitarist's parents' basement. I went into it totally blind, only knowing it involved a Finnish death metal band and that the movie was a big hit with the crowd at a film festival I normally attend but missed this year.
You don't need to like metal to enjoy it - the movie is at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and has done very well at film festivals in the past year. Hell, I haven't listened to metal in 25 years, and never enjoyed death metal anyway. I've watched Heavy Trip twice since it became available on demand in late October, with two different groups of people, and everyone who I've seen it with has loved it. It's a legit contender for my favorite film of 2018. At its core it's a typical underdog story, but done very well and about people who rarely get such a human portrayal on screen.
It's available to rent for 99 cents on VUDU right now, or to own digitally for $6.99. I think it's well worth that price to own, but if it seems even remotely appealing you should at least try the 99 cent rental and give it a shot.

Also, I'd say a real shitty moment in that interview is Colbert telling Mantzoukas that his opinion on overthrowing the rich will change when he gets older.
Colbert, 54, is nine years older than Mantzoukas.
Come on Colbert, what kind of bullshit is this.
He's not being sincere in that comment, just aping the "well you'll be more conservative when you're older" mentality for comedy?
The population gets more conservative as it gets older but that doesn't necessarily translate to individuals getting more conservative as they get older.

It was my understanding that this isn't even actually true. Rather, in early adulthood most people become fairly concrete in their leaning and don't tend to change much. But overall each new generation is more and more liberal, so as people age and don't change their view (that maybe used to be liberal), comparatively they become more and more conservative.

The stuff I saw in favour of it was based on voting dem/repub so it wouldn't be surprising for that to be the case. It was a study that showed that a generation that were young during a prolonged/popular/strong president (I forget the exact criterea) were inclined towards that presidents party for the rest of their life.

The depressing interpretation I saw of this is that conservatives are better off financially and since that means they have better healthcare conservatives are the ones who live to be old.
I ask you to consider if we are currently in a Nicholas Cage renaissance
This might be the best year he's ever had
Mom & Dad was pretty well-liked, Mandy was critically adored, and Spider-Verse looks like it's going to be a genuine phenomenon that he's a beloved aspect of
and, most important of all, he finally got to play Superman

Check out Patti Cake$ sometime. Same lead actress, and she was fantastic in it. Similarly predictable, but she made it worth watching. I think HBO has it right now, might not be streaming on any of the big sites.

I'd put Chris Evans and Weird Al up there too.

I think necromancy would automatically disqualify him.
I took that in the sense of "haven't been disgraced/revealed to be terrible", not necessarily with the condition/qualifier "and is currently alive."

Surely Comedy Channel doesn't pay anywhere near as much as a network flagship show?
jokes on you, comedy central doesn't pay at all
You get great exposure though. Really.
