I love Married to the Mob so much. I went through a Matthew Modine period in my youth, and have always found his weird but weirdly charming performance here anything but bland, especially the odd chemistry he has with both Oliver Platt and Michelle Pfeiffer. Such a strange movie that always makes me laugh (the tiny twi…

I had the arm implant and it completely killed every bit of my libido. So yeah, it worked, but kind of pointless at that point. I have had an iud for the last 10 years and I would never go back.

I also suffer from severe second hand embarrassment, so I have never watched the Office for exactly the reasons given, but maybe I should actually give it a shot? How much pain did you have to endure before it got really funny?

My grandfather was an extremely devout Pentecostal preacher, and his youngest son, my uncle, was the lead singer of a death metal band. Sometimes reality is like a badly written movie. 

My 16 y.o. son has a deep love for this kind of antique website design, and he picked it up I’m sure from the prevailing winds on reddit, so I bet a lot of these are deliberately ugly. Kids these days. 

Yep! I saw the interview on the front page, and said, “Oh, it’s the Egger Suit lady!”

Yep. I moved to Canada 14 years ago, and on a recent trip back to visit my mom, was horrified at the sheer number of prescription drug commercials there are. I mean, do they really need to advertise a drug that is only for a tiny subset of humans with a specific condition? Some of them were so specific as to be…

I completely agree with her, and in fact rewrote the plot of the movie in the car on the way home in a way that she would have been a key member of the group for the rest of the movie, making it more interesting and more diverse. Such a waste of an opportunity, she is such a great actor and the character was a badass. 

It was fun, but I find myself wishing they had taken a little more care with the animation. The voices get lost with the lack of expression in the faces, I find. I wish it had more of that over-exaggerated style of a traditional cartoon (or maybe I just want it to be more like Avatar: the Last Airbender). The only…

I went there in the 80s when I was about 10, and can confirm, it was definitely the stuff of dreams. The size of it was my main impression, as well, along with a kind of “How does this place exist??” astonishment. Never forgot it. 

I really feel like they designed the heck out of that monster when they didn’t need to. The “piebald side” of Long Boy as described in the book wasn’t a writhing mass of limbs, at least not in my head. It was vast and unknowable. It didn’t have a face, just a menacing presence. I guess that would be difficult to film,…

I really appreciated this review, as I found myself struck (and not in a good way) by exactly the same two moments you were, and thinking “Oh no, do I not like this show now?” I am normally a fan of earnestness, but the reporters saying “The Independent” made me cringe with the cheesiness. But your points in the…

“Titanic wins Palme d’Or!!?!”

For me, it absolutely did. I am okay with the cliffhanger-style ending, which did indeed feel very Planet of the Apes, and which I don’t find anticlimactic at all. The central plot problem of the series, “Find out who or what the Timekeepers are and destroy them to restore free will and a multiverse” is exactly what…

What absolute great fun this show is. I’m watching with my entire family, and it has turned into an event at our house. I only hate that next week is the last episode, because I could seriously just spend time with these characters forever. I want Mobius and Loki to solve Time Crimes together, I want Loki and Sylvie…

And I just realized that he isn’t the weird actor from the 90s that showed up on Riverdale. That was Skeet! I guess I had them confused.

This article is absolutely INFURIATING.  I am having trouble reading it, I am so enraged. Charlotte Perkins Gilman could not have imagined this. 

Thank god there are more of us, because this review was depressing me, and I didn’t even bother with the comments that did nothing but complain. This show is really working for me, and maybe it is because I’m not taking it too seriously, but also, like, it’s entertaining? Really entertaining? Tom Hiddleston is just…

In France, it’s probably more likely to be nettles. This...is not better. 

I started watching this on Netflix after abandoning it after the first episode when it first aired, and it is a strange mix of intriguing and extremely boring. The “mystery” of it is given weirdly short shrift, and it focuses a lot on the fallout from having people return to their lives after 5 years of being presumed…
