It’s one of those things that is “realistic” or whatever, but I am still furious and weirdly depressed by it. I took ages to win the speech challenges, too. I thought Fallout had given me one moment where just talking would make it ok. And I also went back and was puzzled where everyone was. I thought it was an…

I’m playing 3 right now, and I was so pissed off by that ending I put the game down for a week.

I adore the Stanley Brothers, but even their sweet voices can’t make that tale palatable. I actually find the fact of the gravestone with the repeating December 25, 1929 to be the most disturbing thing.

I mean, Veronica gets raped, her best friend gets murdered, and she’s ostracized from almost everyone. I assume that would change a person. But something about it wasn’t as deftly done as it might have been. As it was in Jessica Jones.

Even in the scenes before her parents’ death, Jessica seems to be acidic and snarky. I mean, teen and all. But still. I liked seeing that Kilgrave and the trauma of it all didn’t create her personality. “Veronica Mars” is fabulous, but she really does seem to be almost a different person in the flash-backs. And the…

That’s a great episode. Alarmingly, he’s less sympathetic than Kilgrave. Or less humanized, because Kilgrave at least seems unable to turn it off.

Yep, there’s a reason I cringed. “Game of Thrones” has taught me that much. Well, and the whole garden sheers through the back of the head thing.

Well, the villain in “The X-Files” episode “Pusher” ends up in a coma, and he’s basically Kilgrave with more hypnosis, less “can’t even turn off the power.”

Maybe you can’t find those loopholes when you’re actually under control. Still, I agree. A lot of vaguely spoken lines delivered by someone you would think would have learned to say exactly what he wanted.

Even lines like “give us a smile” made me wonder how exactly his powers work. Is it just anything? I guess that’s…

I like relatively violent movies, but if they are super gross or horror pornish or something I might close my eyes. I don’t even know what gender I am anymore.

I don’t like ganging up on twitter people for mildly stupid statements, but man that guy is not earning my sympathies.

It’s bad enough to ignore your disabled guests, but to not have a contingency for a disabled paneled is just...ugh. You invite someone, you make sure they can get on the stage.

I watched it often when I was little, but have recently been musing on how many years it’s been. Never seen it on TV. Most people haven’t heard of it. We probably had it on Betamax. But it was great.

Nobody knows about “Legend”! Tim Curry makes such an awesome devil.

I mean, Mia Sara is a babe. Who can dispute this?

Dang. I think the books are mediocre in writing quality, but having suffered through all of Twilight, and having rejected 50 Shades even for camp LOLs, I say you are too harsh.

I’m inclined to agree. The books have their moments, but somehow the movies ended up superior. It’s a pity the Mockingjay movies could not improve up on the book’s dodgy pacing, however.

That’s a great way of putting it. I love that movie. And not just because it scared the pants off of me as a teen.

Suddenly the reason for my passable chimp scream becomes clear.

You’re right. Purity was the wrong word. But Krakauer having been that young man endangering himself perhaps understood McCandless more than most, and thereby perhaps projected onto him enough to simplify the narrative of his life. More nature and adventure, less mentally ill and bad family situation.
