Happy Birthday!

What did you think of Trigger Warning? I didn't like it nearly as much as Fragile Things; it very much felt like the collection of random stuff Gaiman has written for other things that it essentially is. And there wasn't a lot that stood out to me.

I think Peretti leaving the ship was just another joke in the larger group of "people trying to kill an alien in the worst ways possible" jokes.

Yeah, I'd tend to agree; it was honestly hard to tell if Wiseau consciously held misogynistic views, or was just ineptly utilizing misogyny-laden storytelling tropes, thinking to himself "this is how people make movies" (which isn't to say of course, that one can't be sexist without realizing it). But now that Wiseau…

Oh hey, I still have a profile on here. I liked this episode quite a bit. The Bad Grads bit was pretty great; I always hate those "look how fucking dumb these people are" videos, since usually they're so transparently made for the enjoyment of conservative assholes, so it was pretty hilarious seeing Scott driven to…

I would choose Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Gesang Der Junglinge" solely to confuse the shit out of the crowd and unsettle the pitcher.

1. Yes, misogynists issuing death threats is a fucking problem. Your argument smacks of #notallmen MRA bullshit. "Oh, it's just a few assholes who are issuing the death threats, most of us would never do that." How fucking hard is it for you to understand that although most male gamers aren't making threats on…

Bullshit. If the real problem were just that there are assholes, we'd surely be hearing about men getting death threats and threats of physical/sexual assault for the videos they were posting about social issues in video games, wouldn't we?

This was, for me, the weakest episode of the season by a long shot. I understand (and greatly enjoy) that Adventure Time has such a deep supporting cast that entire episodes can support themselves with only cameo appearances from Finn and Jake, but I think the show is starting to stray away from the show's central…

Oh sweet fuck, Uncle Rico's bizarre rambling to the Mexican police officer/prisoner was the best.

I get the sense that rainicorns must just grow up very fast and then slow down to something resembling a normal life span. After all, Lady Rainicorn has been alive since Jake was at least 12, and she doesn't really seem to have aged.

I think Marceline cares more about bass guitars than she does most people. I imagine she figured that Finn and Jake could deal with the problem in exchange for that four-necked however-many stringed bass.

I liked a couple of the small visual gags in this episode, like that lone stubbly-faced guy in the crowd who has no reaction to anything that's happening while everyone about him follows the telepromptor and expresses the appropriate response to the events on the dating show. Or where Skips returns from clubbing to…

I feel like "Mordecai and the Rigbys" would be pretty easily recognized by anyone at a RS panel, and even by some casual fans of the show, whereas a "THE PARK" shirt seems a bit more obscure, and might appear as if you just wrote the words "THE PARK" on a shirt, and would thus appear to be relevant to RS, but kinda…

I was cool with Gary's pickup lines not because it wasn't creepy, but because it was so absurdly far-fetched that the girls would think it a great pickup line. Which is typical Regular Show absurdity.

"Road cake!"

From what I hear, Tunnel is pretty terrible.

Is it weird that I always assumed that Dobbs was mentally handicapped because of the shooting? I can't specifically remember this being said explicitly or in fact being implied, but it seems like they've been setting up Hank's shooting of Dobbs to be a source of future tension between Sonya and her boss since midway…

Nice to see that you'll be providing commentary on the new season. For what my opinion's worth, I doubt that Sonya was trying to relive the experience of her sister by having sex with her rapist/killer's brother. I got the sense that it was a kind of fucked-up thing that just happened.

It's well-executed, but far from perfect in the original. In neither does the killer's near omnipotence make a whole lot of sense. That being said, yes, the serial killer plot was better-executed in the original, but the FX version has developed a more interesting group of characters outside of the main partners,…
