I really want a pic of that half million dollar landscaping. If Paulie Walnut’s atrocious taste in clothes is any indication his yard must be epicly tacky.

I don’t think the writers choose the headlines. Frida Garza’s Post was very subtle and nuanced in its evaluation of the situation, while the title is sort of inaccurate. 

I think that she probably did punch him in the face but also that he deserved it 150% and I am totally on board with her paying zero legal consequences.

Well at this point I’d be fine with pulling from my future social security to pay for my leave so I can spend more time with my child because at this rate I will never get to retire anyways. HAHAHAHA. 

Nooooo, Hazel! Annihilation is an amazing female centric sci fi horror. I remember you doing a feminist horror episode of your MTV podcast and Annihilation would definitely fit!

It definitely wasn’t as good as the book (duh) but Annihilation atleast had a nice spectacle value to it- I loved the way it was shot.

You’re probably right, at least generally speaking. I was talking with a couple of late-twenty-somethings recently about music and they had gaps a mile wide in their knowledge of anything from before they were born. One of them had never heard of Led Zeppelin for example. They did however lecture me about not knowing…

I saw Popstar the other night. It looked like it should be really stupid, but it was actually better than many of these SNL-skits-turned-movies.

Well, that’s unfortunate. The book is great, and I’m waiting impatiently for the sequels (which have ridiculously long wait lists at the library).

I stopped after season 2 because I realized the cancer was never going to get around to killing this bastard. It was some time after that the show became this huge cultural phenomenon, so I read a few recaps before the end and watched the last few episodes as they aired. I was mad about the way he died because he got…

Kim and Howard bond over being fellow victims of the McGill brothers’ pathos, and leave New Mexico for California to start up the LA Law reboot.

>>Where is Kim during Breaking Bad?<<

Jimmy always looked up to and wanted to please Chuck. Younger brother syndrome. And he likely feels responsible for Chuck killing himself, which makes it worse.

Yes, Chuck was a vindictive and egomaniacal shit who didn’t care enough about his brother.  But that doesn’t matter.  Emotions aren’t rational.

It was a straight up psychiatric illness that people enabled to the point that he never got effective treatment for it because enabling it either allowed them to profit (his firm) or was just easier/more effective than confronting him (his family, the courts).

Man, and I thought Chuck was an asshole. 

There’s also a scene in season one where Jimmy realizes that some medical equipment in Chuck’s hospital room has been plugged in the whole time, unbeknownst to Chuck.  I thought the show did an excellent job of showing that Chuck’s illness was “real” even though it was psychosomatic.

Certainly no doubt it was all in his head.

Yeah, it was made clear on more than one occasion that it was definitely psychosomatic, most dramatically in the scene where Chuck is testifying with a battery in his pocket.

This is amazingly written. I hope we get to see more from you, Sara, on this site. I watched Nanette and was referred to Esposito’s Rape Jokes, which I watched immediately. I appreciate that they approach the topic of assault and rape cultural from two completely different angles (Esposito’s is more traditional stand…

Wait, possibly psychosomatic?
