My favorite part of that conference call is that Ivy apologized to him and they are now friends.

@actually:

I've been pretty bad at predicting stuff on this show before,
but I don't get the Gretchen thing. At all. I'm color blind and I have no sense of taste, but jesus her stuff was bland at best. Were they worried about sending three guys to fashion week?

My parents did, for the same reason. They were hoping for a football-playing jock who'd give them a dozen grandkids, and they got a piano player who's married to another dude. It happens.

I'll always give Rosenbaum a pass for
his essay that begins with these two ratings:

Yeah, it's a testament to KK's charisma that he dominates every scene he's in. I wonder if McC's so great because he's forced to stay completely clothed, and that forces him to act, or something.

Suspiria is a mixed bag:

Annoyed - you'll be happy to know that Hardy has a history of that himself.

Yeah, I definitely seem to be a minority on Impossible Soul, which is fine.

This would be more convincing
if there weren't a number of women involved in the story in real life, including Zuckerberg's sister. For a movie that's more about deflating grand narratives in favor of clinical detachment, it's a jarring choice to so forcefully overdetermine the misogyny. Sure, it's there, but talk…

The title track is outstanding.
Excessive?… maybe, but it certainly captures the bonkers folk-scifi aesthetic in a compelling way: the composition itself - the textures, the dissonances, the acoustic coda - is among the best he's ever done. That and "I Walked" have been on constant rotation for me, and it's nice to…

The Heroes recaps were top-notch,
and so much more fulfilling than watching the show itself. But I wonder if that's only the case provided 1. it's a really awful show, 2. everyone knows it's a really awful show, and 3. there's a sort of tacit acknowledgment that the recap and comments are going to be having fun at…

It's likely people are a little on edge
because of all the suicides over the last couple weeks: Cooper in particular has been covering it, along with the psycho assistant AG in Michigan who's trying to destroy that college student for being gay, etc. It's been a weird couple of weeks.

And in the same scene, no less. But remember: she's not gay, she's said so a thousand times. Those pictures of her cuddling with her personal trainer/housemate on the yacht… look, it was cold and she needed the body warmth, okay?

Hey now:
that's "actress-model-SINGER" Milla Jovovich. Let's not forget.

Cromwell did his best work playing second fiddle to an animal, so maybe he was hoping for another go-round?

Yeah, my first reaction - as a gay man - was to consider donating to Focus on the Family. That's how agonizingly bad this show was.

Couldn't stand him for years
because it seemed like his only mode of performance was "condescending smirk", and that gets really old really quickly. Then the Nines happened, and he's starting to grow on me more and more, and even though Buried doesn't come together as a great movie, his performance holds it all…

Finally.
I was getting worried last season, and even last week's episode was more solid than genuinely funny. This episode killed.
