I have been so excited for this, and reading the reviews, I am still excited with some adjusted expectations. But I have to admit, I'm more than a little bummed the main party is totally devoid of female characters. The idea of playing as a bunch of dudes doesn't bother me as a concept (or else I likely wouldn't play…

They were both excellent, one of the best ever (Octavia Spencer's Harriet Tubman will always be my number one). Alia was the perfect match for Miranda's delivery and Aubrey gave it a totally different feel from just her body language.

Man, how did she ever get that role? I cannot imagine someone reading a call sheet for a "bad ass, kind of crazy, kind of sexy, ex-IRA" and then going, "Yes, her!" The recoil on a Derringer would send her flying into last week. She's a good enough actress just insanely mis-cast there.

So…this guy is basically turning our government into the most elaborate LARP session ever devised. And fancies himself a sort of Gentlemen Villain.

When I was a kid, I used to make myself "cheese sandwiches" which was really just a slice of American cheese, folded in half, with a generous squirt of French's mustard in the middle. I was thrilled to see a kid doing this exact thing on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. His mother yelled at him for eating "naked cheese." That's…

Yeah, I love you Jon, but I'm starting to get just as annoyed with the left trying to say it is hypocritical to paint all Trump supporters with a racist brush. His racism and misogyny wasn't some secret or in coded language, it was blatant and very, very, very well covered. Even if you didn't vote for him because of…

I think Princess and the Frog is a very mixed bag, but it has one of the most romantic moments in any Disney animated film, and that is when Tiana busts out with that note at the end of Dig a Little Deeper and Naveen gives her this perfect, "Holy shit, I am yours forever" look. It's two seconds and it is perfect.

Tarzan is completely derailed by the "funny" sidekicks. It's a story that had room for funny sidekicks, just not those. They never clicked as characters beyond who was voicing them.

HARRY x LUNA FOREVER!! Sorry, it is the only entirely fabricated-in-my-mind ship that I have ever sailed. Even in the books.

The lesson is not, "This is the Real America, bitch!" The lesson is, "This is human nature, bitch!" and this shit will happen every time if you are not careful. The Dems were not careful. They lean towards inaction, both their leaders and their followers. "Good will win out." Not if we don't do anything to ensure it.…

Like everything, there are aspects of craft beer that are interesting and enjoyable and aspects of it that are irritating and disingenuous. And there are also times when a cheap lager is exactly the lager you need.

Yes, Bourdain, those are the only two options. Drink to get drunk, or take comprehensive written notes after every sip. No one could possibly want to get drunk, and also enjoy what they are drinking. Madness.

I think more than anything else, Josh is emotionally lazy. He doesn't ever want to think too hard or feel too bad. He doesn't even realize he's doing anything wrong, because he isn't actually doing much of anything. I think Rebecca sort of blew his mind at the end of the episode.

Best Youtube comment I've ever seen is when someone dedicated the "Sad Walking Away" music from the end credits of The Incredible Hulk to Amanda Bynes.

I caught up on Netflix over the summer, and I just want to say this show has one of the sweetest and best portrayals of "lived in love" that I have ever seen in Michael and Jane. You didn't really get that in the first season since we met them in medias res, during a bizarro crisis that would be impossible for mortal…

We had record voter registration in Texas for this election. Since we know who the people are who have historically come out to vote, I think it is reasonable to assume who the newbies are supporting.

Yes, this was a treat to read, thank you. Midway through, I actually paused and thought, "Who wrote this? This seems like a heavy hitter. Rabin? Ah, O'Neal! You old so and so!" Write more please.

Yes. Thank you. As usual, South Park is taking a more neutral stance. It annoyed me when directly addressing the election, because I think this is one of the few instances where pretending "everyone sucks equally" is completely absurd, but with these broader issues, I think it is a thoughtful and welcome take. I…

Bob: You're so honest. Who raised you?
Tina: I DON'T KNOW!!
Bob: It…it was me.

I agree with this read as well, I just wish they did more with it. Having her robotically repeat the same sentence over and over again felt like such a gross over simplification of her whole deal that it really fell flat for me. Especially since they gave "Trump" a nuance he hasn't bothered to give himself.
