Speaking for myself, I just enjoy animation as a medium, and most animation is aimed at kids. But the best shows are universal. And not even in a "sly pop-culture reference" way, but just because it communicates in such viscerally visual ways.

I think the single Praying had a lot to do with it, or it least it did for me. She had plenty of fans before the lawsuit, but just as many people dismissed or ignored her as a lesser Gaga (I did). Then people supported her because what she was going through was undeniably awful. And then Praying.

I get really grossed out watching him eat. I didn't always. When the show first came out, I liked to watch it hungover on a Sunday afternoon or while going to sleep or something. I enjoyed learning about the places he visited. But then one day, he was just going to fucking town on some condiment-lathered sandwich, and…

During the tracking shot with Bron I literally felt compelled to say out loud,"They are so good at this!" They have filmed some of the most exciting and beautiful battle scenes I've seen anywhere, including film. This stood with the best of them. I was convinced Bron, Jamie and Drogon were all toast.

It never occurred to me to take the lyrics of that song seriously. Or, I guess I took it exactly as seriously as the Teenage Suicide (Don't Do It) song from Heathers.

I was not a Sanders supporter. How you can presume to know anything about someone from three sentences is also the kind of shit that shuts down conversations. You're not Sherlock Holmes.

Why is the superiority complex generally just attributed to liberals? The "snowflake, safe space, participation trophy" bullshit is it's own superiority complex. Is it more palatable when it's outright hostile instead of smug?

Exactly. I felt like it was supposed to be a kitschy fun time, but it read like a series of footnotes. I think in a visual medium, where Pac Man can just show up and fight Godzilla (or whatever) without three paragraphs explaining why that is especially cool for the narrator to see, could actually be a kitschy fun…

We were all cheering for him to just kill the fucker and I was supremely irritated that he did not. If you are going to a) demonstrate you are no ally of Littlefinger's and b) reveal yourself to be a temperamental meathead begging to be manipulated, you might as well kill him.

I think having Sansa call out the possible alternative and witnessing Jon fight for them probably helped to secure those kid's loyalty more than if than if Jon just decreed it. I don't think that was Sansa's intention, but it did have that effect. She is 100% correct in pointing out that stomping around yelling about…

I'm watching the original series run for the first time on Netflix. I know who killed Laura Palmer (as I am 20+ years late to the game) but it is not killing any of my enjoyment of the show. It is also blowing my mind trying to imagine a modern audience watching this, because knowing the conclusion, I know the path…

In the corner of my mind all the time now, there is the doomsday clock from Watchmen. What is it ticking down to? We won't know until it happens. But it will be weirder than we ever thought.

Yep, and I know it's a tale as old as time. This has happened before and it will all happen again, and seeing it play out as often as it has this year, I'm not feeling generous. In a court of law, we owe him the benefit of the doubt. In a working environment, everyone owes their co-workers respect. But as artist and…

For what its worth, I'm also intrigued by this movie but I am turned off by Affleck to the point where I likely won't see it. Am I missing out? Maybe. Oh well.

I think he was. I think now he is so hyper aware of his assholery, in that it is his "brand," that he's become borderline intolerable to me. "Fuck" might be less annoying than "BAM!" but it's all the same in the end.

My husband and I frequently say, "…Gracie will remember that." around the house when a decision or comment is made we don't like. So it gave us that. That is payoff enough to justify their existence.

I was so grossed out, disgusted and confused by these two episodes, and I really have never had a big problem with anything this show has done so far. The horror motif in the previous episode made no sense. This isn't Community or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you can't suddenly play with genre in a series that has been…

They already made that point with the Mother's backstory in the same season. She had met the love of her life, and he died tragically and unexpectedly. She felt like that was her one shot at a great love, and then she met Ted.

"Two wrongs don't make a right" is a frequent argument I see about stuff like this, and here's the thing. It's not intended to make anything "right." Two all-women screenings of Wonder Woman doesn't fix anything having to do with equal pay or reproductive rights, etc, nor does anyone think it would. Additionally, I…

I agree that if Jane and Rafael are end game (or even Petra and Rafael), I'd prefer the show to get there sooner rather than later. One of the major reasons Jane and Michael worked so well and Michael become so beloved is that they let that relationship breathe. I've used the term "lived-in" to describe their…
