The David Lynch hair was the last straw.

My new favorite Sesame Street song.

Yeah, The Box is a fun existential nightmare. I think of the movies as DD: if god exists, he's not always fair but he does care about us. TB: If god exists, he treats us as toys and we suffer for it. ST: exists if god beach bomb Rock musical number Sheri O'Lambert.

I would guess that Vulture does do some evil mirror stuff. As in, the Vulture is to the Tinkerer what Peter is to Stark. There's a question of how much you do is your own, how much was given to you. Which is really what it means to grow up, right guys? (cue gentle music)

I'm open to the idea that she's retracing things in the present (I'm open to most ideas in this show); the thing is we haven't seen it yet. Maybe we did last night, but sometimes she was wearing the dress, sometimes the cowgirl getup. There's no firm chronology to her life. I might remember getting the toy at my…

Delores seems to be outside time entirely. When saving herself from that last rape in the barn, she sees an image of MiB. Considering she hadn't met him in that timeline, she's basically seeing the future. Right now, there's a lot of narrative fuckery that I'm willing to go along with because the show is engaging. I'm…

Good point. Four if you're in college, two if you're not. And three if you're in Utah.

My MiB theory, for what it's worth: 30 years ago, he saved the park physically, not financially, when the robots went homicidal. He killed a bunch of bots and saved people and got a thrill out of it. At first he came back to relive that. When that didn't work, he stumbled onto something about Arnold. He has since…

So the show is about attractive Dutch people talking about sex and drugs, and you only tell us about the drugs part?

A big part of what keeps me coming back to the AV Club is their understanding that I don't want to watch another fucking video. Tell me about it. Maybe I'll watch it.

One of my gym teachers explained to us, multiple times, that his college football career made him fat, and there was nothing he could do about it, and we should all stop whining about what life will do to us. Then he had a non-fatal heart attack and the substitute was so bad that the class became a violent free for…

Great right up until Anakin Fanservice shows up. Fuck Space Jesus.

Too bad Seth Rogan didn't have that same realization when writing Green Hornet. If I remember right, the recurring gay panic jokes at the beginning of the movie are one of several reasons I shut that one off.

It's more of a "already been punched" face

That makes a lot of sense. It had to be some reason other than looks, because that hat looked like shit. Looked like Raylan became a cub reporter in an old Superman comic.

I'd watch this if it meant starving Sasha Baron Cohen.

This one surprised me. Yes, Ramsay is a psycho, but he always seemed to show a kind of respect for his father that bordered on awe. I expected more of an emotional journey between that and murder, but I forgot this was GoT.

Yeah, it's funny how aspects of our culture keep appearing on this culture website.

I'm about halfway through Blood Music by Greg Bear. It's as good as its reputation, but I had to stop because I have this killer flu that won't leave me alone, and reading this does not make me feel better. And I started the audiobook of My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout. It's about people dealing with…

I like the history and science in that book, but all the modern day stuff with Lack's grown children felt strangely voyeuristic to me.
