I saw this film in a theater. I did NOT see it in a NOT theater. I actually in a real case demanded to see it in a theater. I did not NOT see it outside a theater. And yes it's worth it.

You should be aware of the political history of the phrase, which is a
term of solidarity that recognizes common experiences between non-white
people. It's not just a euphemism for black.

I thought the same about Chloe Sevigny's character, the palest person on the show.

It's probably because someone at Netflix used the phrase "the setting is a character, too!" at some point in Bloodline's development.

True Blood's Alan Ball developed Banshee, so the flavor of True Blood in the pedigree makes sense. But the showrunners have practically all the fat from Banshee, so it's never as unfocused and fumbling as True Blood. Banshee's second season was a bit of a stumble, but even when it wasn't perfect the show is still…

If you were a fan of Spartacus, Banshee is my new Spartacus. It's essentially pulp/exploitation TV, but everyone on the show obviously puts their all into executing it at the highest level they possibly can. The writing and plotting is fast and exciting, the film-making ranges from solid to excellent, the action is…

It's really impossible to know what exactly to make of Helen because we see her mostly through the lens of Noah's wobbly ego or just a little bit through Allison's class-conscious eyes. But I didn't find her depiction of how she chose him far-fetched at all.

Bishop definitely doesn't see her as an equal. He's the king, and the only thing that can truly threaten him is the machinery of the state. That's why Kalinda is so careful to always address him as "sir" - she knows that's what he wants to hear.

Maybe that's David Lisak's 2002 study? I've read about it before, but it just came up in this Rolling Stone article about rape on UVA's campus.

Apparently they were both publicly anti-Brokeback Mountain.

It was Possessed. Except in Possessed Joan Crawford isn't actually possessed. She just goes kind of crazy. Crazy for love!

Possessed is an awesome movie despite its flaws. I think it's much more than a soapy thing.

She didn't have to ask appropriate questions, the way I saw it.The situation was as clear to her as it was to me: a weird slave camp run by a "greater good" zealot. If it's that clear off the bat - like Handlen says in the review - why bother asking? You know what's going on.

The specter of Pearson Specter.

I had this extended fantasy imagining this exact eventuality while I was watching this episode, which could solve a lot of this show's problems. Tanner wants Harvey to step down as senior partner? Fine, he leaves, taking Donna and Mike with him. Rachel comes with, seeing a chance to be taken more seriously. Pearson…

It's "by-oh-pick," because "bi-OHP-ic" sounds like something a pathologist does.
