Homeward Bound was one of those movies whose cassettes I wore into the fucking ground watching it over and over again. It kicked off days and days of me daydreaming about being a part of a cool, rich family where every member had a personality-adjacent pet.

HARD SAME. I refuse to watch Marley & Me, A Dog’s Purpose, or this stupid car-racing-dog-will-definitely-die edition.

Oh friend I am right there with you. It is sooooooooooo fucking cloying. And all I want to say is FUCK YOU MOVIE I KNOW THAT GOOD BOY IS GUNNA DIE.

I thought it was an immigration joke. “Catch and release, LOL!”

Yeah, they never explained what happened to Eva, but considering how quickly Frank was replaced with Roman, I guess she just got canned really fast. I think it takes a real suspension of disbelief to consider how easily Logan lets his chief executive offices turn over and land on totally unqualified people (read: his…

Oh man, I LOVED The Normal Heart. It was terrifying and heartbreaking, which is exactly what I think a story about AIDS should be. Pose also does it pretty well, though I thought a lot of the ACT UP scenes were a bit choppy. Anyway, I’m weirdly into stories about AIDS, particularly the ones that explore the early side…

My mom and stepdad are snobs about most if not all things (clothing, decor, liquor, cars, restaurants) except for their damn Uncrustables*. They are in their sixties, living in a home with no children, and love those fuckin pastry pockets. I went home once and they BEGGED me to try one. I was converted.

Thank you. This comment is perfect. After learning about the background behind this photo I wondered if I should feel bad for hating on this guy (his family just got murdered, after all). But knowing that he was not only willing but enthusiastic to pose with Trump for a fucking photo opp and use his orphaned nephew as…

SQUEAL LIKE PIG BOY

I really enjoyed Season 1 but could not get into Season 2. I am fully down for an 80s trip though, particularly if it starts to explore the nascent AIDS epidemic. Guess I gotta reserve a few hours to catch up.

I’m going to download it immediately then walk around my apartment feeling important.

This entire comment is spot-on. Especially this:

That was confusing to me to. So much of the dialog this show is written in shorthand so I feel like I’m missing a lot.

I think she was lying to him just to get her off her back and help keep the secret plan between her and Logan.

I thought it was pretty lazy that the only place they filmed Tom and Shiv on the honeymoon was inside the room on their yacht, but I guess all the two of them would want to do on the trip is hole up in a room watching news anyway. I just thought it weirdly seemed like 5 hours had passed and they were both still there,…

This confused me too. My take is that she was lying to Tom just to appease him (look at the way Logan sniffed at the idea of having him as a successor; I suspect he’d also be reticent to hand Tom the bread & butter division of the whole enterprise). She has absolutely no fealty to that guy, and as a result of course…

The contractor piece of this episode was my favorite part. It was so cruel and heartbreaking, yet so believable. I also love seeing a rotting, maggot-ridden rodent carcass fall right into a billionaire’s living room. (eat the rich)

The thing that initially turned me off of this show is now what keeps me tuned in: the supreme, heartless behavior of the 1%. I initially hated how mean spirited everyone in this family is, but now it’s entertaining.

Spoiler if you don’t watch the previews for the next episode so:

As a French major, this has also bothered me! It’s Fahhh-vruh, not Farv. But I can’t expect cheese-binging, beer-guzzling middle Americans to get that.
