I caught that on HBO or something the other day, and man…there are some things that you remember being fantastic that still surprise you by being fantastic. Like, i thought i probably elevated in rosy memory but fuck is that thing wall to wall amazing lines.

It doesn't deserve hate just like it doesn't deserve an oscar. The sex addiction stuff is really shit (i honestly think they may reconnect at a 12 step program for no other reason than to include it in a dishonest trailer) but it's not really a focus and the movie as a whole is decent..

It was kind of like he was waiting for a "She's All That" transformation that never came because the movie wasn't about him. Usually they have to include braces to make someone look that much worse than they really do.

There's more than one "trying on lingerie" scene if that makes this decision any easier.

It's interesting that when he fused he was a lot more adult looking, rather than just larger. So he can grow enough to appropriately be with Connie for the rest of her life, he just to be with Connie first…

I think they might not have wanted to commit to definite designs on a bunch of new gems at once and either create a bunch of work for themselves now that might not matter, or force themselves to contend with inconsistencies if they want to reuse some later. That isn't a problem with a Pearl.

It's also cute that the problem with this relationship between a possible immortal and a human isn't that she's going to die, it's that she's going to be an adult.

Yeah it's not totally clear if they had sex or not (it seems possible, since even if they did, it's not the sort of thing you say out loud in your nominal kids' cartoon) but it's almost tangential to how messed up their relationship seems to have been for a while there. If she was only holing up with him in his grief…

They don't share our culture, and they're taking precious stones that should go to honest Americans and radicalizing them!

The moral here is it's a lot easier to be prepared for the British when a lot of you already are them.

Or put it on rice or chicken or really almost anything, but yeah it's tough to eat straight.

It kind of has a point about how it isn't a Franchise the way almost everything else as successful as it is, but it's a leap to say it has no fans. I'm sure there are still people who watch, like, and talk about it (hard to say if the number's significantly lower than it is for other successful films, especially…

The titular avatar part is a good point, but i think Dances with Wolves etc already have what Fern Gully would bring to the equation, because fetishizing a presumed mystical connection with the land is already a big staple of anything with native Americans

I do sort of resent these movies where the presumption is i've seen them and somehow i'm weird and it's my fault if i don't. I saw Avatar and it was fine on balance, and the visuals were a lot more than just fine. But even in the cases where it's a better movie, like the new Star Wars, it sucks some of the fun out of…

I on the other hand was pretty terrified of the openness of everything but those capsules, so i guess it has something for everyone.

And Charles technically does it in this very same episode.

If it was going to happen to anyone, it might as well be Boyle. I watched this on demand and the episode description said something like "Boyle's ex-wife (guest star Kathryn Hahn)…" and immediately thought "Oh no, she would eat him"

For me it was Wheel of Time. It really is wonderful finding out that you can just walk away from bad fiction.

Hey, we would also get a bunch of bargain basement decades-old stuff, including both obscure art films and low-budget genre movies. So more of a Hulu is what i'm saying i guess.

What, you didn't like sitting through an ad's worth of time where there was just dead space, and then the show resuming and playing both its audio and the ad's audio at once?
