Of course, that also makes them very indirectly responsible for the oversaturation of meta commentary in films nowadays, but they had no way of knowing how annoying that would become nearly a century later.

While others were busy inventing the rules of cinema, the Marx Brothers were finding new and creative ways of breaking them. By keeping in all of the asides to the audience from their vaudeville acts, they were among the first to popularize fourth wall-breaking comedy in the post-silent era.

Aw, it's sweet that they wanted you to feel like a winner in your own way.

Heathers-era Winona Ryder is a good way to get me to pay attention to whatever a person is saying. Brilliant approach.

It's amazing the diversity of thought that one can welcome when not limited by logic, empathy, facts, or consistency.

It's a much more constructive use of his ambition than what we've been seeing from him lately.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I'm not ready to start using the past tense just yet.

I'm in Los Angeles right now, and this premature eulogy bullshit isn't helpful. Some folks are still fighting for a future for this country. Don't write them off.

That's actually my fault. I didn't read who was posting that, and thought that it was from him. My apologies.

That wasn't an actual reply to the points made. In fact, I'm not sure what your point is. Why does criticizing someone on one or many issues make it somehow wrong to agree with them or support them on different issues? Feel free to use small words that you'll know I understand.

It mixes terrible things in an brilliant and catchy way, making them work together better than they do singly. My spouse and I refer to the concept as a Chelada, a drink made of two terrible ingredients (Clamato and Budweiser) that somehow works.

Okay, I'm going to need you to dial it way the fuck back right now, thanks. You seem to be under the misapprehension that praising someone for doing the right thing somehow renders any previous criticism null and void. It's a politically immature and intellectually vapid take. That's all.

Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. Cheering this doesn't mean that anyone's forgotten the existence of other facilities that should also be shut down.

The channel in Los Angeles that airs Fox's non-news programs like The Masked Singer and The Simpsons also airs that local news show. They're not the best in the city, but they're also not the worst, and they're nothing like the Fox News cable network.
