I have a feeling it's gonna be hair metal. It really annoys me when people refer to 'metal' without context and they're really just referring to Poison and shit.

Oh man. I had to turn off Bachelorette about 15 minutes in. It was so mean-spirited I couldn't stand it, which really bummed me out because it had a great cast.
Me too. I found it borderline unwatchable. Sometimes when I have no idea what's happening in a movie I debate with myself whether it's my fault for being dumb or the movie's fault for being too unclear and I'm pretty sure in this case it was the movie's fault.
Based on her Nerdist interview she did just a month or two before the reunion series was announced, she really liked the idea of doing it, she just thought there wouldn't be a market for it (no idea how she could think that).
I'm expecting an Anchorman 2 situation - i.e. it'll be mildly enjoyable but utterly forgettable compared to the first.
I think enjoying Dumb & Dumber is predicated on having first seen it when you were 13 or younger.
I didn't mind Ainsley most of the time, and even sorta liked her sometimes! When she justifies Sam sexually harassing her though it's peak Sorkin in the worst possible way.
Jack was pretty cool in early seasons and at the very end. He was awful for a while in the middle though.
The ultimate fate of Locke, which you don't truly understand until after the whole series ends, is so sad and tragic that it's hard to believe the writers let it happen to such a beloved character, and I actually respect them a lot for it. I thought Terry O'Quinn was able to make even the most annoying moments of the…
I love Hurley in general, but I really disliked how they'd have him always asking 'audience stand-in' questions about time travel and shit to Faraday and others in later seasons. I don't mind Sun at all either. Charlotte was pretty awful though.
Zoey's French boyfriend from The West Wing is absolutely one of the worst characters I've ever seen on a great show. Josh's intern from season 6 is very nearly as bad.
Rachel Dratch actually played Jenna in the unaired pilot.
Twin Peaks had like 7 awful, awful characters. Nadine and Josie are up there too, plus characters that were added later like Dick Tremayne (and Little Nicky) or the Billy Zane character. I also don't like/care about Sarah Palmer or Catherine Martell.
And Henry Jennings is only marginally better. There's such a weird pattern of prestige cable dramas with an awesome older sister and a hilariously terrible younger brother as kids of the main family (granted Dana was only cool at the beginning and then became kinda terrible herself).
She does stand out, for sure! She's extraordinary. I just also don't like when people refer to it as 'the Eva Green show.'
But Timothy Dalton is so good too! And really the whole cast is great. It actually bugs me a little when people imply Eva Green is the only reason to watch the show because there's so many other parts that are so good. It's not like a Tatiana Maslany on Orphan Black situation where she's the only exceptional part.
But Sembene tho :(
Betsy's vision of Hanzee standing in front of flames was more than a little reminiscent of Killer BOB.
I disagree, because I actually think the first one's darkness felt a little forced at times. The recession stuff worked, for me, but the 'downward spiral of drug addiction' felt like it belonged in a different movie.
808s was super influential. I think at the time people just heard auto-tune and were primed to hate it because they hated auto-tune. But up until that point auto-tune had really only been used for flimsy dance songs - I think Kanye was one of the first to realize that it could actually sound extremely sad if employed…
