Of course they were, hogging all of those great outdoors-y jobs out in the sun. How is that fair?

Sometimes I think of a political cartoon I saw recently, it was published after World War II and depicted Hitler arriving at the gates of Hell only to be rejected by the Devil saying "You're not welcome here, there's a special kind of hell for people like you". This is one of those times. Not nearly because she's done

If that's the case, fair enough. I just found it odd but I can buy that explanation.

Tandy is unbearable again. Being worried about Carol because of remembering Phil on the operating table does not justify half of the episode being lead by Tandy being a moron, nor does it really make sense since he doesn't show any kind of concern while trying to out-midwife Gail. But hey, at least Jasper got to

Oh, I was unnervingly worried it wouldn't just because of NBC being NBC. So happy we're getting more The Good Place.

Every damn year a show like this helps me forget that NBC are awful, just awful, with their comedies - it was quite funny and charming television version of "easy listening", which is just fine sometimes - and then they pull this crap, EVERY DAMN YEAR, to remind me how awful, SO AWFUL, they are. Goddammit. How do I

Announce the Obi-Wan solo film, goddammit! Oh, wait…

It's getting harder and harder for me to get through these episodes where they start off with Tandy being a clueless idiot and Carol…being her own version of it, especially when both of them do this maniacal jealousy thing. It completely derails whatever else is going on, despite how funny whatever else is going on is.

Oh, I'm down for this. Josh Brolin is great: menacing, terrific actor in general, dramatic, and with pretty great comedic timing, so that's a great match for Ryan Reynolds to annoy the living daylights out of. And, most importantly, Deadpool will most definitely joke about:

Accident or not, breaking the news on winning the Pulitzer Prize in three categories is quite the journalistic flex.

My main take-away from this ad is that Jaime Lannister is STILL shocked by his hand.

"We're just really happy you found that spot"
"People wait their whole lives looking for a spot"
Wonderful.

I have to say, that was some exemplary product placement work by Pokémon Go.

Ten minutes in, I'm so bored and annoyed by the inexplicable slide back to the show's most annoying tropes I'm seriously considering dropping the show entirely. Tandy is ridiculously dumb and annoying again, Carol is the same, and it's just…why? Honestly. Why this again? Are we supposed to buy into it because the

After deep-diving into the mess around Ghost In The Shell and seeing it this morning (not really close to being as bad as reviews say it is, mostly because it's pretty great visually and tells a different story than expected in a few ways - it's quite literally an adaptation, a re-working) I don't really see how this

I knew this was going to happen as soon as I heard he was releasing two of his three Netflix specials at the same time: as soon as I was done watching I wanted more. Damn you, Chappelle!!! Even when he dabbles in pretty inappropriate expressions of otherwise sound ideas, which will probably lead the charge for the

She won't need to be. Any fuckup will be magnified thanks to the intense scrutiny she'll be under because of her having no business being there in the first place.

Everything anyone connected to the administration has done and will continue to do already makes tons of people suffer, so I don't really see how this'll be different to be honest. And I hope that quip about Americans wasn't directed at me, given that I'm…well…not American.

Watching all of this with journalistic eyes and trying to make sense of it is beyond exhausting, so I really do feel for people like Noah having to actually make comedy out of it while giving something closer to useable knowledge to his audience. It's horrible, what is going on, and yet…I truly believe television will

It took 8 seasons and 17 episodes for the dumbest character on the show to point out that Mitchell and Cam do the same shit every goddamn episode and need to just TALK. Goddamn you, Modern Family. I hope your Emmys get taken from you retroactively for getting so, so, so stupid.
