This comment section is yikes. Apparently there's a pitch-perfect way to react to your adoptive mother suddenly getting divorced from her husband of decades, wanting giant DDD+ breast implants, being diagnosed with cancer, having risky surgery, and dying unexpectedly in the same hospital that your biological mother

Just disengage the troll. I met the end point of the argument, they just call you a loser with too much time on your hands. Anticlimactic, if ironic.

I don't wanna be a dick but I feel like you're arguing with people who aren't even here.

"Neil Patrick Harris is gay, will that do?"

Same with the Next Big Actor/Actress every couple years. Watching the Hollywood machine systematically chew people up and spit them out is making me really cynical

Almost like anecdotal evidence of some specific people being cool with racist bullshit doesn't make it okay, or something

People aren't upset on behalf of Japan, they're annoyed that Japanese-American actors have so few casting opportunities that they're even deliberately excluded from the casting pool for films set in Japan. Like the Netflix Death Note adaptation specifically turned away asian actors, which you have to admit is kinda

Also there's the feeling that it would be a semi-perfect run as a one-off miniseries + a prequel miniseries, no one wants it to carry on long enough to be remembered as 'great until ____'

Yeah, I've read a few of his forewords and autobiographical stuff where he talks about a kind of authorial narcissism he had during that era, where he was convinced he was The Next Great American Author so everything he wrote was The Next Great American Novel, my impression is that he just got totally caught up in his

Camp and Kaling had great chemistry too, and she bailed for the garbage fire that was True Blood season 6. Such a waste

From what I read it seems like he initially told them he just needed a break for one project, then liked the freedom so much he said they should use his remaining contracted eps to write him out. I get it, and he's always been kinda slumming it on the show, but it sucks

Yeah the cast has never quite clicked. In their defence they were fucked around a lot by FOX in their first couple seasons, and right when they got into a creative groove with some storyline momentum on Hulu their male lead bailed on them quite suddenly. They still haven't figured out how to recover from that, and I'm

I'm glad they're getting a final season to wrap it all up. In spite of it's (many) flaws I adore this show, and I'm glad it's upped Kaling to movies-with-Reese-Witherspoon kinda status.

Whatever, pal, just keep your filthy facial appendage out of Pikachu neighborhoods

The amount of depressed women who hate their bodies just foaming at the mouth to click on DMs intrusive paparazzi shots of other women's flaws every day really bums me out. Ahhh the perpetual cycle of misogynistic misery…

Nobody, son. Nobody won today…

That DM article is the stupidest fucking thing I've seen in quite a while. Yeah, snarky assholes on Twitter (my brethren) make side-by-sides of Justin Trudeau and the rotting pile of garbage America just elected, but no one should be paid and called a journalist for that shit

She reminds me of that Friends episode where a casting director says Joey was "not believable as a human being"

That may be one of the saddest parts of all this, to some people Trump is a comic genius.

Well yeah, but it's kinda like when a guy gets his first long-term girlfriend and brags that they've had sex 273 times. It's probably true, but that's a real specific number nobody asked for :')
