But revenge is still emotion-based.

I'll stick with common interests and loyalty, thanks.

Yes. I've never known one who openly, for their own pleasure, buys and listens to love ballads.

Revenge is emotion-based.

Do straight males actually listen to this stuff alone, voluntarily?

Her accent wasn't that bad. It's more that nobody wanted to think about the 20s "It" girl during the Great Depression. And Clara Bow spent her huge sums on silly things, which seemed like fun in the 20s…

This thread is a giant shoehorn that can't get traction because so far, this season has been profoundly — profoundly — anti-feminist. All the women may yet succeed, especially Peggy, but as of yet, they're all failing very hard, very obviously, and it's not subtle and it's being made very explicit.

The Gerhardt and Blomquist families are in their very unfortunate situations largely because of actions and decisions made by their lead females — Floyd is the family leader, struggling to maintain power while making very poor, emotion-based decisions, apparently unaware that Simone is playing the Fredo Corleone role…

She plays the character great, but the character is leading the family to destruction.

I'm sure your intentions are splendid, but you just got two things wrong.

It's a shame that this, the best comment, will be buried by all those tired references with their scores of "I've heard of that, I'm with ya!" upvotes. Just please stop using "SJW", it makes you sound like a Dittohead.

If the sensibility that prevails at AV Club wasn't the target of the show, maybe — a point made nowhere.

Maybe I'll try it. That sounds better than ghosts floating around.

See? All these "what ifs" and "maybe somebody else believes in it". People are screaming at a guy you can't kill in a mask or a CGI spirit. It's simply not scary to too large a segment, that's why the genre gets shit, because most of it is.

I've been through tragic loss and grief, so I can empathize with feelings of "haunting". I've seen inexplicable things that scared me. But I always knew this was happening inside my head. I never once thought a ghost was real, or that seeing a hokey depiction on screen would somehow help me get through the grief or…

I'm not talking about psych thrillers, I'm talking about supernatural-type stories, unless they're tied in with the psyche like Dr Who does sometimes. The book goes everywhere, it's true, and you may be right about the psyche/house expo. But thankfully the film is a relatively short work of art and the book is another…

"Horror, unfairly, has never had the respectability of other genres"
No, it is quite fair. Most horror movies make a claim on suspension of disbelief that other genres, including Fantasy & Sci-Fi, do not. Horror movies catharsize something in its core audience that many (but still, too few) people are too rational to…

Strawman: "I need a brain"
Me: "You said you wanted a brain"
Strawman: "Nice strawman!"

It's not idle speculation in the least. You seem to think one thing (that Moore believes something that's "categorically incorrect"), yet its opposite is explicitly true — he says he believes something that is verifiably correct. But he's an old white guy… haha. I get it.

It's "poorly founded" that Moore says Fleming wrote the Bond character as a straight womanizer? You don't need permission, of course, but if you're semi-responsible you'll let readers know that you don't know what you're talking about.
