"Doom, gloom, and social violence"? Have we watched the same movie? The Family Stone is a funny/sad kind of Christmas movie, nothing more than that.

Yes. Let's add stereotypes to the body shaming conversation, shall we?

It was more mockery than humor to me. And the delivery was dubious. I imagine another comedian could have had a more agile reaction to it, but the joke was badly disguised body shaming.

I only read this to see if Mantzoukas would be there with her. And he will ! In all his beautiful glory.

They actually posted a review of every episode. I think -I think- that with the first two episodes of the season airing the same night, AV Club called this two-part premiere "episode 1" and went on from there. So, this was the AV Club's tenth episode but the eleventh on any other episode guide.

Ugh, Mr Robot, I wanted to know if she was a giraffe or a seagull !
Also, liked the Casablanca ending.

Such an interesting, smart article. "The fluidity of my own personal identity on any given day was further compounded by the changing labels assigned to Asians in general." This reminds me of the oh-so-welcomed Aziz Ansari conversation when Master of None came out. Well, except for all the travel and crotch frisking.

Tim Gunn is a gem. A very good read also is this NYTimes article from a few years back : http://www.nytimes.com/2013…
He seems like a genuinely good man.

The emotional peak is season 4. But in season 3, it gets undeniably good.

It's really worth it.

You may be right about the hair. Damn, I can't remember. I binge read the Kenzie-Gennaro books because I liked them so much but it was a long time ago. This conversation makes me want to revisit them too. You should try Darkness, Take my hand. I remember it was thrilling. I think I'm going to check it out again. As…

Ok. Interesting. Lewis is so good. So, in your mind, Kenzie is more on the "light hair" side. I always imagined him with black hair. I have to come up with a suggestion..

I wasn't really satisfied with the choice of Affleck and Monaghan either. She was too "cute" for the role, almost too bland. And I love Casey Affleck, but yes, he was too young. I see what you mean about Pamela Adlon and Dennis Leary, about their style, and I agree. They look more "messy", for lack of a better word. I…

I love Lehane's work. I like "Gone, Baby, Gone" just fine, on its own. But as an adaptation, it was underwhelming. As a side note, I remember being quite disappointed when I saw Bubba on screen the first time, finding him much less threatening than his book's version. I mean, when you read "He has the face of a…

I'm late to the party but damn it, Depeche Mode "Walking in my shoes" playing up until the Mr Robot title screen was one of those things I didn't know I needed until now.

It’s about time they tackle Edgar’s mental issues because at this point, it doesn’t make any sense for them to treat it like an umpteenth joke. It has to become more. I love Edgar, I want him to get enough self-esteem to stand for himself and for his personal story, even if it’s through a psychotic break which I’m…

A few notes :
- Gretchen and Jimmy really gave a whole new meaning to "You're the worst" this episode.
- I'm tired of Edgar's role as Jimmy's garbage can. I'm most interested in his story right now.
- The beginning of the end credits song sounded a lot like Radiohead's Reckoner.

Filming of American Honey wrapped more than a year ago. A lot can happen in a year.

"Aaah, salmon skin roll."

Ooooh. Be still, my heart.
(well, except for the song choice in this video).
