The very last scene where the coyote hands the soon to be exploited kid a ~Happy Meal and says "Welcome to America." = Devastating.

Yeah it bummed me out a when IFC offically crossed over to the dark side by not only playing fewer and fewer independent movies, but when they started interrupting the movies with commercial breaks.

SideShow Mel: "At the town meeting he mentioned that he watched Comedy Central. I made sure to note that as it seemed quite unusual."
That didn't quite register as a joke for me for years (besides the delivery) because we didn't even get Comedy Central on our monopoly cable conglomarate until Season Two of South Park.

America… FUCK YEAH!

Kommissar Murphy in Sealab 2021 episode Red Dawn.

I'd say it's more fat than bad.

Missing: Megadeth's Rust in Peace. The fucking drums and Mustaine's relentless vocals…

I think you mean Marguerite Moreau from The Mighty Ducks.

Give him the stick! DON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK!

In me and my friend's 6 year old alternate universe, the cool looking Cobras became the good guys.

Public/charter schools are sore subject for me; that statement coupled with the assessment of characters such as Anna to be an overblown Snidely Whiplash caricature as opposed to those types being all to common in reality, combined to strike me a certain way. I didn't set out to say that you specifically were

Well, I don't think gritty street fighting scenes is the season story arc twist that Girls is going for. But a knife isn't a toy, if you pull one out on someone, you had better be ready to use it. And by use it, I mean when you have the drop on someone threatening to mug you, you stab your opponent

To me, the statement came across as "I'd be happy if the super rich could save us with privatization: then there would be no more PTA/union grinds." which is the kind of magical thinking that led us to the disastrous charter school movement.championed by scumbags like Michelle Rhee and Kevin Johnson.

I thought Gwen Ihnat's comment to the tune of why shouldn't rich yuppies fund union busting exclusionary charter schools— after all I'm going to be mildly inconvenienced when working class teachers at public schools are going to go out on strike for better wages, lower classroom size, less standardized testing etc…

Really though, just about anyone could have been better than Halle Berry as Storm. In the doc Fanarchy an actress expresses her disappointment in watching X-Men and feeling "This is not Storm" and I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment.

Do know what happens to Angela Bassett when she gets struck by lightning?

I've mostly enjoyed Gaycation. I thought it was mild to mostly interesting and a harmless presentation of a kind of National Geographic of gay cultures; seeing how LGBTQ communities and cultures differ around the world, and what unique challenges they face.

Not having an entire segment of pandering to usually mediocre guests improves Oliver's and Bee's shows significantly.

Eh, I'll defend the 90's cartoon for it's 90s-cool theme song and season long story arcs. It could have been a lot better, but a plethora of soccer moms' with too much time on their hands lobbied to ensure just a minimal number of punches were thrown by Spidey throughout the series.
And let's face it: it did Venom far

I like the show for it's character arcs and authenticity etc etc, but this week's installment felt like another "Upper-middle class family (and friends) have minor to modest domestic problems" type of episode that had been done countless times since the birth of dramatic television series.
