Had anyone not forgotten Smash yet?

It's cool that the nice guy and the alpha male lunkhead are the same dude, and the overlooked friend zone guy is kind of a cynical dick. It's great to see the difference between "nice" and "passive" spelled out for the people who conflate the two while being assholes.

I think this might have been the least musical episode of the show to date, and it still had a lot going for it, which is a pretty important/good sign imo.

I see her as kind of a female Greg, especially in this episode. They're both objectively right about a lot of stuff, but are constantly suffering for how unlikable pointing those things out makes them. Nobody wants to hear about how Rebecca is manipulating everyone, or West Covina is actually kind of a dump etc.…

It turns out i'm not capable of experiencing Rachel pole dancing well as embarrassing. I mean i certainly understood that it should have been, but unabashed attraction was hogging all the emotional real estate for me there.

Fair enough. I suppose it cuts both ways; if you can sell anything based on some bland characteristic, you might as well make it interestingly bad just as much as you might as well make it boringly acceptable.

Netflix picks up a lot of this garbage too. Their original productions tend to be a lot better, but as a distribution option, they are not exactly discerning.

Or make it creepier by having him calmly get up and look for a more effective way to kill himself. Basically anything other than what happened.

I liked The Village well enough, but Lady in the Water seriously is as bad as its reputation. I only saw Avatar:TLA with Rifftrax, so i don't know hot it plays as a serious movie, but i do know it was boring even when people were making fun of it.

The Happening is my go-to movie for "a director can make any actor look bad if they really want to." When one performance in a movie is awful, the actor giving it probably sucks. When ALL of them are, the simplest explanation is suddenly that they were actually told to behave like that and who knows if they're any…

I'm actually more insulted by the stupidity of the religious message than the stupidity of the sci fi premise, because the former can't be written off as just set dressing and allegory that's there to get to what he really wants to say. Unless i'm seriously misremembering it, the religious epiphany comes when his son…

There's infinite righteous indignation everywhere you look on social media. Justified and overblown, serious and funny, on either side of any issue or non-issue…i really have no idea what to tell you if you think there's a dearth of righteous indignation among young people.

I think those are consistently my favorite part of Bojack Horseman, and this still looks bad.

Trump presidency.

I think my favorite bit is still the Trump as faux military strongman/dictator, where he goes "Oh yeah, I can understand this just fine. We've got plenty of this guy all over the world." Still using that outsider perspective, but not to give an actual perspective on something rather than just pretending to not know…

I'm still pretty lukewarm on The Nightly Show. The panel's an easy target, but it also has a couple of dud correspondents, and honestly, Larry is not the most natural or comfortable host even this far into it. Mike's great like you say though, and like others have said it's nice that Larry has carried on that spirit…

Serious answer: i think he could pull off a "[ex]romantic partner becomes dangerously obsessed" thriller, and it would just be a slightly slower burn than normal. Less serious answer: a character suddenly becomes poor and must work in food service.

Those same people have primarily moved on to complaining about health care now.

If it makes you feel any better, Jessica Jones did a pretty good job of stealing some of Preacher's material.

So the little girl and the demon possessing her are the mismatched detective duo here right?
