As someone who also loved Whiplash and who also, lately especially, finds himself gravitating towards films by and about non-white people for some reason, I'd say yeah, check it out, it's pretty enchanting. I didn't love it as much as a lot of people, but it wasn't a waste of time, I'm glad I saw it, and I might not

For me, it was just kind of a downer. That last sequence was definitely remarkable, but I'm a 'love conquers all' type, and seeing a story where two people in love don't even try to make it work was just depressing, and not in a 'this is an amazing movie' way, just kind of…bleh

OK, which one of you told Netflix that competition and reality shows are much cheaper to produce and more profitable than critically-acclaimed storytelling

Pretty bold stuff for '86. I'll bet that ruffled some feathers

He often has that look on his face, like he's just about to face his violent death, but he's basically ready

if only I hadn't been distracted by this, I could have voted

I was a hero once…but that was a long time ago

I would have liked to have seen Billy Idol in the Robert Englund role as originally intended…but I don't think an Andrew Dice Clay vehicle could ever not be awful. His weird noises during the narration…yeesh

Like a lot of these videos, it's titled "10 best" for mainly clickbait reasons; each of the 10 is actually meant to be an exemplar for a particular style or color palette.

I guess for me the most memorable and lasting moment in S1 was at the very end, when Rachel tells Quinn profess their mutual love, but Rachel knows that Quinn sabotaged her relationship, so there's this undercurrent of absolute hatred. I was thinking, will Rachel take Quinn down next season? Or are they going to slide

Yeah! Usually I just respond with "…" but I think a lot of people think I'm being rude

Woof, you lost a lot of credibility at the end there…
