Also an example of why the old school needed to be replaced.

In the pilot he attempts to rape Jenny and Serena. Then, episodes later he became popular.

I feel like everyone who complained that Chuck Bass’s attempted rapes got glossed over was just vindicated, even if it doesn’t really follow logically.

Greg *looked* more like a rom-com leading man than Josh. Part of that is racial, and part of it is that for the first half of season one we get to know Greg as a person much faster than we know Josh. Josh is barely in the first few episodes, largely so we, the audience, don’t mistakenly believe that the show agrees…

They really didn’t think about how the women felt about their behavior at all. They assumed what the did was an accepted normality.

It’s mostly offensive because of the orientalizing. He’s essentially denying that we have a rape problem in America because we have so much electricity.

I had a strong reaction to the cover of “I Think I Love You” but I can’t remember what it was.

I didn’t see High Tension, but I remember watching the trailer and feeling the homophobia coming off it. Not thanks forever.

O’Reilly to God: How could you let me developed in a world where treating women like shit is considered normal and private, and then change the world around me! Wasn’t that what you wanted for me?

I kind of like the concept of a small town being effected by having an opening to another dimension over years... I think that has funny potential.

Last year, Stranger Things was exactly what I needed as a late summer pick me up. (I know it came out earlier in the summer, I just didn’t get to until later.) I’ve always been a little wary of the treating the second season as sequel thing. Most to the sequels that the Duffer Brothers mention looking towards didn’t…

Yeah, that’s a reoccurring gag and I have no idea how seriously we are supposed to take it.

There tends to be this idea that the post WWII American society was a celebration after surviving the Depression and defeating the Fascists. But it was also a period of extreme backlash against many of the social movements before. (Hollywood, with it’s endless remakes and knockoffs, actually provides some good…

I like macaroons, (and not just because I can’t eat gluten).

That was a bit much. Was Wanda Sykes only available for a few episodes and they knew they needed to write her out quickly?

He’s on Brooklyn 99 and is delightful.

My favorite bit was the anecdote about calling Masters and Johnson to fact check, and their support of Braudy! I’m so hapy that happened.

But also, Hef was right about it being off brand.

No, Stratten accused Hefner of rape.
