Jesus fucking christ. The Sex Pistols?

There does seem to be a real effort on some people’s part to shame anyone who doesn’t denounce this film. As a fan of Two Minutes to Late Night I listen to a few of their podcasts, including Generation Loss. They did a retrospective review of these early 2000s films (they called it “The Twee Thousands”) and the acid

I don’t think anyone expects you to care, and that’s fine. But straight white guys with money also experience depression. It’s almost like all humans are capable of mental health issues.

I think some of that same hyperbole hurt Girls/Dunham similarly. I know I had lady friends in their early twenties who cringed hard at the “voice of a generation” stuff surrounding the show.

It’s an all-time great soundtrack, for sure.

And if people want to get mad about manic pixie dream girls, there are far better targets for it, like Elizabethtown.

Title of my sex tape. 

Director makes films 20 years ago that resonated with some people.

Username/comment synergy!

And season one, to the best of my recollection, does kind of set up Tom as a dolt. Yeah, he’s in Waystar, but the implication seems to be that it’s nepotism more than anything that keeps him around. He gets given roles and promotions, but we never actually see if he’s any good at them. I know more than a few VP-level

There’s a fun dynamic where Macfadyen’s accent will occasionally slip, but it oddly works for the character, since Tom is kind of like an artificial intelligence that’s pretending to be a human male with about a 90-95 percent success rate. 

There’s going to be an Oral History expose about the making of this show and the final season and it’s going to be glorious.

What has nine arms and sucks? Def Leppard.

...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

I still contend that Prometheus makes far more sense as a typical slasher movie. Shaw is the “last girl” and everyone else is dumb as rocks because they’re supposed to die dramatically.

If cocaine was a car. Absolutely awesome fun, but maybe not actually that great after all.

Brian Cox knifed Jeremy Strong because it took him too long to do his scenes.

Of late?

I miss when the whole site was devoted to Darling worry...

Huh. Well, I’m sure glad you’re not in charge of awarding the prize. I get that we grow up and our sense of humor evolves, but dick and fart jokes and silly voices will never not be funny and, hopefully, never go out of style.
