Homer giving in to his own terrible parenting is fine, and there's a pretty obvious real explanation as to why he's acting that way (he's a competitive jerk and it's a way real people behave.) The latter Simpsons problem is covering bad writing by putting a lampshade on it.

In the Godzilla series, all the kaiju are eventually rounded up and moved to a place known as Monster Island. They research them there, and also aliens invade a lot. It's fun.

I'm not a big Perry fan but as far as the Christian music thing goes- like she was groomed for that from the time she was a little kid and eventually stopped doing it and became pro gay and so forth, which is actually pretty cool. I don't know if she'd have the foggiest idea of what high school was like for regular…

Henry Fonda

Also, you know. Hyman Roth.

I know him as Sgt. 'Fatso' Judson in From Here to Eternity

it's intellectually lazy- he's not making an argument that it's problematic because it presumes religious beliefs on the part of the audience, he's just saying it bores him because it's dumb god stuff

haha, what a dick

I don't think you have to fully psychologize a suicide attempt to make it un-romantic, just make it clear that it's ugly and it leaves scars and it hurts, not a glorious letting-go or something.

The Cranberries' lyrics are so so at best but they have a pretty interesting sound imo

They're the same, because they're both ethnics!

I don't think The Royal Tenenbaums does at all- it's a brutally difficult-to-watch scene, and I don't think it's made to look at all attractive. Harold and Maude romanticizes suicide more than Tenenbaums does

the other two songs are actually pretty good tho

eh, rock and roll suicide has the same message and is actually good

Same way you get CCH Pounder, J.K. Simmons, or Ron Perlman. You ask, I guess.

I don't see why Netflix doesn't recommend that to everybody

Don't worry, those kids were all essentially the Devil's cabana boys

Step 1: Check if it was released by Ghibli
Step 2: If above is 'yes', it's probably good

We're not counting Albert Brooks or Phil Hartman, right? Because those two are obviously in a league of their own

It turns out nobody! Because it's just a movie.
