All actors are well-trained prostitutes, darling

Pretty sure the reviewer understood that, or at least that's what I took from the paragraph beginning "It helps that Frank's the one that broke it".

D'Angelo saw and hated Snowtown, so I think the odds were stacked against Kurzel for this review even if he hadn't apparently slept through the second half of it.

Agree that it was odd for Hogarth to dismiss the Japanese as a threat, if he's so concerned about maintaining British world influence. It would have made more sense to me if Hogarth simply said that the British weren't about to keep up with the race between the Soviet and American war machines to defeat Japan.

Based on the description, I had kind of begun to think that it was Hogarth and he'd been leading Crosley into betraying the project to the wrong ally the entire time, but obviously the twist at the end went a different direction (and heavily foreshadowed by Darrow's non-reaction to Abby tipping him off on Crosley,…

Even granting that Japan put the Allies in that position and that the bomb was the most pragmatic way to end the war, there's absolutely no part of you that feels sympathy for the hundreds of thousands of civilian men and women and children that had to die for the crime of existing under a brutal military dictatorship?

"coont" is how a Scottish person might say "count".

It is possible white men disproportionately feature amongst child abusers, although that's hardly going to be something you can establish from what's most covered in the national media, unless you seriously think they could give a fuck about reporting on specific child abusers without a celebrity or missing (blonde…

It's hardly just a case of a black man "being nice" to a white character; old, wise, folksy black man with mystical powers and apparently nothing else going on his life selflessly reaching out to a white protagonist to solve his inner conflict and repair his relationships, and dying upon the exhaustion of his efforts,…

"why didn't you bring up the crusades or the kkk?"

The Lebanese and Kurds and whatever other Muslim civilians ISIS murdered in the past week alone are no less dead than those in Paris.

The vast majority of ISIS's victims, including the dozens killed in bombings in Beirut all of two days ago, had "something to do with Islam" too, so maybe let's hold off placing too much credibility on whatever self-righteous pretence people perform their violence behind.

McG should remake Super Size Me but instead of McDonalds it's toxic waste

So your imagine of the modern spoilt manchild is someone who feels concern over the preventable death of infants, and not, say, someone who utilises their imaginings of millions of downtrodden, exhausted, hopelessly ignorant serfs working themselves to death as justification for their own nonsensical socio-political…

AMC send out episode screeners precisely for critics to form an "entire opinion", and in any case a TV pilot's whole purpose is act as proof of concept.

Well congratulations on your capacity for writing something off without really grasping what it is

There's a lot of comments that miss the point of this and yours is one. I slowed down the Chipmunks cartoon as a kid and discovered the one voice actor thing. This is totally different and it's about the fact that by merely slowing down a novelty record you're able to generate some unique and insanely listenable…

I mean, it's your city and everything, but I'm from the UK and applied here I would regard any effort to eliminate traces of inner-city accents as utterly misguided deculturisation and class prejudice.

It's funny to me that was included; I remember reading that the creators of The Wire were made under duress from HBO to include the exact same kind of flashback to clarify who turned up dead at the end of the pilot, then proceeded to make as little effort as possible to cater to inattentive viewers for the entire rest…

Maybe it has already, maybe it will be before the season's out, either way it's hardly going to be easy to repel people who see Jarden as the only safe spot on the globe, any more than we in the real world could halt unauthorised immigration.
