It’s startling how nice it is just to watch something measured and thoughtful about this movie. I really dug this film and still agree with the the critique of Finn’s character arc. I love TLJ, but not unconditionally and it’s nice to be able to think about these things without the conversation devolving into the…

The Last Jedi was just okay. The same could be said about all the Disney-era Star Wars movies.

I love when 2000 AD alumni get to contaminate US comics with their own brand of pants-free-flyboy weirdness.

Fuck these tiny little baby men. Her character sucked, but it had nothing to do with her being Asian or female. Also, if you’re the type of person who thinks an actor should be harassed for taking a job, then you should probably have all your fingers broken so you can’t type anything for a long enough period of time…

We never had Mr Rogers on telly in the UK. The closest British equivalent I can think of, in terms of unflaggingly gentle encouragement, is Tony Hart, who inspired almost a half-century of kids to be creative and artistic and imaginative.

This is exactly the deal with me. I was a 90's kid, so pretty late in the game (probably watched from ~’94-’98 under similar circumstances). My mom was raised on it, and so was I.

Ooooh oooh oooh, everybody listen to this guy! He’s extremely right!

Do not ever watch footage from Jim Henson’s memorial service if you want to keep your shit together. Holy fuck, did I cry. Also the Muppets sketch where the Muppets find out that Jim has died (where Kermit is conspicuously absent). Hardcore ugly crying.

I feel the same. I lost my mother the same year that Jim Henson died, and it was like my whole childhood was gone. I think I began to also blame Elmo for both occurrences. It was a tough year.

Mr. Rogers and Jim Henson were the only two celebrity deaths that I truly mourned and I miss them both.

Henson’s death got even worse for coming in such close timing with Roald Dahl and Dr. Seuss. For 7 year old me, the realization that these three giants of my life were suddenly not there anymore taught me more about what death means than Mr. Hooper.

Alternate take: Every single person on this show was The Absolute Fucking Worst.

I agree that Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was often boring, slow, and old-fashioned. I was at the right age for the show, but I preferred Sesame Street and —later— The Electric Company.

I am still not over Jim Henson. When I think about how he died right when computer animation was just starting to become feasable, and the kind of things he could have done with some of the technological wonders that followed, it’s just heartbreaking all over again.

I was the same way. I watched it because it was on, not because I was particularly interested. Also, I found his approach to be condescending, even as a little kid—but I will fully admit to being jaded and disillusioned by the time I was about 7 years old. Being told by anyone that I was “special”, be it Rogers, or a…

I am going to watch this in my living room by myself because I’m one of those kids from the 70s who was basically raised by Mister Rogers and I can’t imagine watching something like this around other people.

I enjoyed his show, greatly respect Mr Rogers and think that the world would be a better place if more people followed his example and died in 2003.

Jezebel’s repeated and total erasure of the voice of trafficking victims is disgraceful. The total ignorance displayed about the anti-sex trafficking organisations and survivors who supported and advocated for this legislation is embarrassing. The changes made in mark up are clearly beyond this site’s ability to…

Fuck that. Why are we designing this world for assholes? If I go someplace I’m not suppose to go and I’m asked to leave, I leave. That’s all there is to it. I want to live in a world based around common courtesy. This is not a path to that.
