Fringe managed to be much better X-Files than X-Files ever hoped to be.

OMG Yes.

Would you expect Rick and Morty fans to respond reasonably and rationally when a woman criticizes that show’s creator?

Yeah, stuff like that is a tough sell when women in the entertainment industry only have to be rumored to be “difficult” to see opportunities diminish or disappear altogether. The day women get extra chances at success after being horrible to everyone around them for long stretches of time is the day I’ll start…

it sounds like maybe he doesn’t 100 percent have a handle on the specific vibe of the current moment any more than the rest of us

I agree. It’s inappropriate to, in your apology, ask the victim of your behavior to help make you feel better. His recovery is on him; it’s certainly not Ganz’s responsibility to fix him. She couldn’t even if she wanted to.

Men, stop insulting children by equating your bullshit behavior with theirs.

maybe... asshole bosses should not be the norm... and holding them accountable is a step towards that....?!?!?

When you fuck up, it’s not always something that can be fixed. And when it can’t, you say sorry because you ARE sorry. You don’t get to automatically feel better, but you do get to know that your apology is sincere and isn’t motivated by self interest or merely the desire to feel less like shit. And THAT is how you…

You’re not a king on a hilltop, nor a beast in a labyrinth. Isolation isn’t always best. Connection breeds empathy. Empathy allows growth.

The best way to write an X-Files episode in 2018 is to write for Black Mirror.

Yes, I get what your saying but, Chris Carter came of age around the time of Watergate, JFK assassination, Cold War shenanigans involving the CIA, revelations about things like the Tuskeegee experiment, etc.. These are only the things I can name off the top of my head and I was born well after all of this. In a way it…

Every time I hear comments like this, usually along the lines of “Rock is dead” I just wonder who the fuck the commentator is listening to. Are some of those bigger Indie Rock bands stale as hell? Of course. I’ve never been very into the LCD Soundsystem, and have always found Grizzly Bear and the National boring as…

“Like U2, it may continue to have a successful, possibly even arena-headlining career, but it may never recover whatever shred of cool it had left”

This is the best part about getting old. The “cool” factor doesn’t matter anymore. You also realize the “cool” factor never mattered.

This is the most frank and honest think piece I’ve read about the “death” of indie rock. It both admits it’s a “thing” but at the same time doesn’t overblow the situation and even goes on to say that a lot of these beloved bands are still releasing great music, it’s just not the music that is currently shifting the…

What a fascinating article, I’m happy I clicked on the link. My grandma loved Hepburn but she also said that Katherine Hepburn was “attractive” and that Audrey Hepburn was “beautiful”, I actually thought Katherine was stunning.... my grandma showed me so many great films when I was young but her commentary on the…

Check out the documentary Girl 27. It’s all about early rape cover up and abuse in Hollywood, particularly the case of one woman in 1937.

For what it’s worth.

One of the reasons why The Social Network is not as Sorkin-esque as some of his other projects is because, at the time of writing the screenplay, the novel its based on (The Accidental Billionaires) wasn’t yet completed, so Ben Mezrich (the author) would send the newly completed chapters of the…

No filmmaker, however talented and experienced, could have salvaged the movie’s worst scene, in which Molly’s father (Kevin Costner), a therapist, shows up out of nowhere and proceeds to psychoanalyze her at length, explaining her drive to dominate as latent daddy issues and apologizing for his unwitting role in…
