"in Buffy, the first slayer is a black woman depicted as a savage, and her powers are forced upon her by a group of white men against her consent"

Not really, he should have some sensible people around to tell him "Oh god no don't do that."

Just a shot in the dark, but I think if Spielberg was receiving a directing credit, he would be obligated to stop working on the production in the event of a strike, in which event it's possible that to keep things on schedule, a producer would step in to cover his responsibilities. So by taking a producer credit…

Yes hi. He's the stern yet supportive daddy we all need.

“I was trying to present without judgment. I was trying to figure out what “the witch” meant in the early modern period and depict “the evil witch” in a way that she would have been understood in the time."

I think he's just being asked a lot of the same questions in every interview and has come up with stock answers by this point. Parts of this interview are nearly identical to a recent write-up on The Verge.

The Witch doesn't rely on jump scares at all, but it does contain the most effective jump scare I've seen in a while. I actually audibly gasped. Like a real, hand-to-mouth gasp. Jump scares are way more effective when used sparingly.

This episode, much like the entire show, was largely stupid (especially the scene where JLC had 10000 opportunities to pull off at least one Red Devil/Scalia mask an didn't), but the scene where the Chanels produce their impossibly dumb clues was a comedy highlight of the series so far. The "I MAY SLAY LIZ DAW" back…

The stealth MVP is Billie Lourd. They almost gave Lea Michele a different kind of character to work with but by episode 3 she was just a cutthroat late-Glee Rachel type again for no reason.

Holy tits, this sounds amazing.

"I melt like a witch and scream"

Nearly impossible to pick an actual favourite, but this is always the first that comes to mind when I think about what appeals to me about his style:

I'm so in love with this album. And not expecting a new National album for at least a year, it was the best kind of surprise.

This is actually a (perhaps not surprisingly) prevalent issue in certain corners of the gay community and lots of guys are guilty of avoiding "gay voice" in their romantic endeavours. It's disappointing to hear that this doc doesn't really get into it too deeply but it's still an interesting topic and I'll definitely…

Shouldn't it be "A.D. The Bible Continues won't"? I mean it still wouldn't be good but at least it would make more sense.

I'm a newcomer to all this and admittedly I'm not too well-versed on the writers and artists, though I've tried to pick up names as I go along when I find that I'm particularly impressed (or unimpressed) by either. So most of those names don't mean much to me, I'm afraid. When I said I was excited by the new books, I…

Yeah, same. I'm working on catching up on the X-Books right now. I still have a few years to go so hopefully by the time I'm all caught up I'll be able to dive into the new ones. The rosters for Extraordinary, All-New and Uncanny each have me pretty excited.

No Laura Marling? Tsk.

This is my dream.

Pushing Daisies would never cry. Just carry on in its own chipper way.
