There's this joke my dad used to tell me over and over again. This was his idea of relationship advice:

You are right to worry, it's probably not going to work out. At the same time, who gives a fuck? Be open to getting hurt, it won't kill you. Get as much enjoyment and experience points as you can in the meantime. And stop self-sabotaging. Shit will most likely fall apart on its own.

So I started writing a long, psychotic email (with no intention to send, but still addressed to her because that's how this works) to BB-8, just basically recapping everything I remember about her and all the stuff that happened between us. It's by far the most productive I have been with writing in months and months.…

Miz would be perfect for an unbearably epic/protracted Honky Tonk Man-style IC title reign where he defends it as infrequently as possible, going so far as to intentionally DQ himself from matches he knows he can't win, just to hold on to it even longer.

Cuz Vince McMahon KNOWS, he can't beat the NBA and the NHL, and he's not even gonna try

Oh, fuck the goddamn Arcade Fire.

I really enjoy the Japanese setting and the nearly all-Asian supporting cast of The Wolverine. I wish more of these superhero movies would break from the standard save-major-U.S.-city-from-destruction formula. The movie itself is OK, falls apart a bit in the back half but I'm definitely not mad at it for that.

Bloodline season 2 — Hey everybody we killed our only interesting character and replaced him with a horrible child actor with dumb face piercings, who wants more???

I wouldn't argue that every visual flourish in Skyfall worked, but what mattered is that it had a varied look from scene to scene. Spectre is a very white-and-beige movie and every location looks basically the same, and for a franchise that's so much about globetrotting, it ends up feeling like Bond didn't really go…

It's gonna be Matthew Vaughn. Kingsman was a dry run and he'll bring the appropriate level of misogyny.

Spectre was a perfunctory story indifferently told, but where it really suffered was in its drab visuals. After the beautiful cinematography of Skyfall, the lame earth-tone palette and overdone lighting of Spectre really made it look, on a superficial level, like a drastic step down.

That joke was stolen from an old @SamuelHLowe (deleted account) tweet. The original tweet was about Coldplay.

For how long they've been around, how experimental they've been on EVERY release, and the consistently high quality of their work, no band on earth can touch them. It's staggering.

Goddammit Kayo Dot stop being the greatest band in the world for 2 straight decades running, it's really unfair to everyone else

I was hoping it'd be Beloved Character Actress Margo Martindale playing the part of Patti's mom with Philip and Gabriel.

Holy shit, if Elizabeth is somehow setting up PT & Alice to take the fall for the illegals program I will make out with this show forever

People hate Pastor Tim because his hair is far more hideous than any wig Philizabeth have ever donned.

The guy *laughed* at her when she held out her wallet, as if to say "You think it's MONEY that we're after?"

Late observation, sorry if it's been pointed out. I noticed that Elizabeth seemed to be imitating Paige's speech patterns in her conversations with Pastor Tim. Same halting, stammering rhythms, same unsteady inflections, basically portraying herself as lost and searching. Those exchanges had none of Elizabeth's usual…
