I really want to like this show. I do. I watched the entirety of both The Clone Wars and Rebels, so I’m invested in the characters. Based on those shows (as well as The Mandalorian), I’ve given Dave Filoni a great deal of personal latitude in the stuff he creates.

Watching anything Hayao Miyazaki does is as close to a religious experience as I have ever had in pop culture. It goes beyond poetry. I’m just glad he came around during my lifetime.

I think you meant to say, “...commit to the bit, especially if the bit is slapping Jim Belushi.”

“Dream Weaver,” “Really Want to Know You,” and “Love Is Alive” are all, like, the perfect encapsulation of late 70s/early 80s synthcore ballading. Just a soundscape of warm synths and huge reverb. Those three songs have never left my playlists in almost 50 years. RIP to a master.

I always thought it was some marginally clever pun on the guy’s name (e.g. if his name was Matt, he’d be Diplo-Matt), but it turns out his name is actually Thomas Wesley Pentz, so there goes that theory.

Killed off in its prime, just like The Mother was.

If it were just disagreement, there’d  be no issue.

Then spare me the "Who, me?" crap.

“lol I love how you subtly and nonsensically made it known that you have a wife and daughters so that we can all know that you respect women because you own some.”

I won’t lie, I’m actually kinda curious to see if you’d recommend a proctologist or someone a bit more, shall we say, kinky.

It wasn’t subtle at all. I came right out and said it. But please continue your string of masturbatory and judgmental replies, I’ve been very entertained by them.

Your perspective on my opinions might shift if you stop to realize that I already know that sharing them on an entertainment website’s Disqus comment board is utterly and abjectly without value or meaning.

Thank you for a well-reasoned response. And your point is the same as mine, except that I guess that you presented it better.

I must be in the minority, then, because I think it’s just as stupid for guys to wander around with their man-boobs hanging out just for shits and giggles.

100% agreed. It’s like Rowling was thinking, “I’ve got to find a way to make Harry a part of the Weasley family,” and that’s what she came up with.

Interesting word choice.

A lot of the “method” (and Method) actors out there tend to be pricks in real life, I’ve found. That’s why I try to keep their roles and their real lives in separate mental cubbyholes.

Tell you what - let’s send a few guys and gals shirtless (and hell, pantsless!) to work and make sure they’re harping about “centuries of puritanical religion,” and I’m sure that will really contribute a lot to the discourse.

Nothing short about it, sadly.

So’s my anus, but I don’t see you begging for a closeup look at it.
