Is there another show with such a disparity in quality between subplots? The stuff with Rufus Sewell is genuinely brilliant and I'm captivated by it, but I fall asleep every time one of the "young people" is on screen. There are great side characters in the margins but all the so called hero characters are incredibly

I wouldn't call it derivative but it certainly would not exist without Mad Men

Vine? Why are you so behind the times grandpa

I tend to not pay much attention to the media circus surrounding his life but he's an immensely talented artist, I hope he gets the help he needs and anyone being snarky and dismissive of this can just fuck off.

No Hillary was a failure because she lost, she is not going to be the President of the United States and now the Republican Party has total control over all areas of government. That is an absolute failure.

You really want President Mike Pence?

But on the other hand, Oscar Isaac

I think the film in general is poorly written but I specifically like Poe and Finn, and I think Kylo is really well done. Rey on the other hand is really underwritten and I just felt her character was really broad. I blame JJ and his fucking mystery box writing for making her a mysterious character rather than a

So we're pretending Rey isn't a poorly written character now?

I mean Bernie was a pretty good film but it looks pretty incongruous next to the one two masterpiece punch of Midnight and Boyhood.

Incest would probably be more acceptable than miscegenation in those days

I finished Sense8 in about 2 days, and I would like to announce that by the end I was pretty much on board with it and I will publicly defend this show. Feels like I'm in a definite minority on that front.

Google a recent picture of him, that guy definitely has a degenerative disease of some sort, nothing really bodes well for him at this point

Obama was actually to blame for a character getting killed off on House, they're both about Doctors so perhaps that's where the writers for this show got the idea

I'd argue that Mad Men operates on quite a few levels beyond soap opera, it's a show heavily built on subtext, metaphors and you need to be able to analyse it to get the most out of it. If you watch it just as '60s advertising soap' then I guess you probably would find it pretty boring. I think Breaking Bad operates

*punches Irishman*

No I hate it because the message always makes me really uncomfortable (in a bad way). The fact that it's a morality fable about doing what you're told taking place in the dying days of a fascist regime who have brought about death and destruction on a grand scale as a result of people not questioning their orders and

I'm probably the only person in the world who hates Grave of the Fireflies, watch The Wind Rises instead would be my advice

But the gratuitous stuff was what made the comic interesting, the story isn't exactly anything special. It feels very much of it's time in the sense that it was more about saying 'look what we can get away with in comics now' as opposed to anything else, I like the book a lot for what it is but really it should be

I know this may just be fan wank but I kind of assume maybe the book is meant to take place after Secret Wars. I'm reading this book for Spencer and have very little interest in Ant Man in general but a scan of the wikipedia article kind makes me think that maybe this is after a few major retcons. The book also isn't
