I will always upvote any comment that throws shade at good ol' Manimal.

Compared to majestic, open-air Hogwarts, the actual civic capital of the Wizarding World being a giant basement under London was such a letdown. As with much of Year 5, it augured the franchise’s swift and steep decline.

James Wan is correct. Most of Aquaman is visually stunning, due mostly to the effects. Manimal must be about to hurl himself from the top of a lighthouse over this snub.

Damn, the list is so eclectic and perfect that, if one didn’t know better, one might assume it was carefully curated by a team of publicists to appeal to the largest possible chunk of of the population. So cool.

I love Krysten Ritter and wanted to love Jessica Jones, but there was just so much wheel-spinning. I’ve captured Killgrave! Now Killgrave’s captured me! Now I’ve captured Killgrave again! Should have been eight episodes. 

In the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Home Alone, that’s the exact moment the title of the tape is translated as “Anjos com Cinquenta Almas” (i.e., Angels with FIFTY Souls).

Odd choice for headcanon, but I’m going to say that at some point in his life he was kicked out of the living room when his Dad wanted to watch certain movies. This, presumably a violent movie, was one of them. Now free to watch whatever he wants, he goes for the stuff he’s under the impression is ‘the good stuff’ but…

Yes. It’s a bizarre form of queer erasure to have a character to openly coded as a butch lesbian, yet ignore that facet of her personality beyond the surface expression. Susie must be the most out closeted lesbian in the Village.

I straight up did not get the thugs out to murder Susie. Like, in what world does dissing someone else’s comic merit taking out a hit in response? I was certain I had missed something, like Susie taking out a loan from a shark that she couldn’t pay back. But no, it was an angry agent?! C’mon. That was real dumb, and…

Ses already had diva-like tendencies bc in that convo with Susie, she apologized for not listening and then immediately turned the convo back to herself.

Side thing but a thing that’s kind of driving me a little batty:

All the implied fucking that Midge is doing. She’s clearly banging Benji and bangs Joel. From a modern perspective which we are because we’re the audience viewing this, this is totally normal. She’s a woman with a sense of sexual agency.

But sexual agency…

Midge is reminding me of Lorelei Gilmore and not being able to completely break with Christopher, even tho Luke/Benjamin is standing there loving and supporting her.

Joel just. Keeps. Moping.

Yeah, it was an uneven finale at best, and that’s how the whole season was for me. It hopped from thing to thing so quickly that nothing seemed to develop organically. The brother is in the CIA? (why?). Mom ran away to Paris? Midge gets demoted and promoted and serves as a wedding planner for a coworker whose wedding…

I have a bad feeling that Sophie is toying with Susie...trying to separate her from Midge. 

I’m curious about the European part of the tour with Shy. I guess we’ll find out next season. But I can’t see how it makes sense to take an English-speaking comedienne as opener to places outside the UK and Ireland. He’d surely take another musician, maybe a trumpeter, or another singer. Even in the UK, at least outsid…

Yes, Midge’s career is about to take off, she’s doing great there, but her personal life is a mess. Benjamin is very attractive but a bit of an odd duck, I think she’s marrying her dad there. Joel is less repulsive this season, but he wants to be forgiven for the practically unforgivable.  Then, there’s Lenny.  Now,…

I’ve become rather curious about Abe’s backstory this season, especially with the “coming to Steiner for 27 straight years” thing. By my math, that means 1933-1959. Like, they started going on lavish summer vacations in the middle of the Great Depression, with two little kids, and then they just kept right on doing…

Me, out loud during every scene of them in the Catskills:

Pipe down with your facts, buddy! We’re trying to complain here!
