Oh I agree with you and ApesMa. I love the character for what he is, I just don't get why so many people seem to actually like him. He's a pretentious monster pretending to be people. I wouldn't like him even disregarding the murderous cannibalism, but there are viewers who find him a sympathetic, attractive human…

Sheesh, am I the only one who finds Hannibal (the character) utterly pretentious? When he has his stupid dinner parties full of self-congratulatory people, or when he's talking to his peers after the opera, I can't believe people don't roll their eyes at him. Shut up and eat a fucking cheeseburger, Hannibal, good lord.

Yeah, the bee lady is the only one I had to shield myself from. Eyes are off limits.

Ooh, I forgot about Outlander. I'm surprised not to see it on here. Maybe it's because it's only halfway through its first season?

I watched both seasons for the first time in a long Halloween weekend marathon, and I think you're right that that's the best way to watch it — moving from episode to episode just immerses you in the show such that plot contrivances slide right by amongst all the lovely set pieces and performances. I think I'm still a…

I read just enough of this review to learn that Jon went home and then watched the episode. It was the best choice.

Gape-mouthed Alec made me laugh more than is probably healthy.

She didn't rabidly attack you (at least not at the time of your comment). She pointed out the seeming disparity between the law's treatment of certain people vs. others, and you called her a racist bitch. I'm not saying she's right or wrong (though if you think the law doesn't apply differently to rich and/or white…

Hey now, you can make your point without calling someone a racist bitch. Try to keep the "reasonable" in "reasonable discussions" if you really want to have conversations about these issues here.

I'll admit that I thought this happened when Wahlberg was 20, not a juvenile, so that does soften me up a little bit. But honestly, while I do think felons who complete their sentence and abstain from criminal behavior should be restored many if not all of their legal rights (voting, etc.), and that they should not be…

I generally agree, when you're talking about most felons. In this case, though, the perpetrator was never punished adequately in the first place, making it hard to argue that denying him his burger empire is "needlessly punishing [him] above and beyond" what he deserves.

Maybe there are things you shouldn't get to do after you fucking blind a guy.

I brought in a guest speaker for my students a few weeks back and forgot to bring the free parking pass for him, so I tried to give him the $5 the garage was going to charge him. This is the south, so he politely objected, then refused with increasing alarm as I insisted. Finally, I blurted, "Please, I was raised…

Well, yeah, but continuing to enjoy Watson's work while deploring him personally doesn't actively support him financially the way buying a Woody Allen movie or tuning into Cosby Show reruns does.

Damnit. As soon as I heard about the "Jackie" story being retracted, I knew certain people would immediately start gleefully trotting it out as proof positive that women lie about rape like all the time.

Aw, that video makes me feel better about being a football fan. I hate the damage the game does to players, but that glorious bastard clearly loves the hell out of playing football.

I feel about McCandless the same way I feel about Holden Caufield. Of course he's an insufferable twit (who you identify with when you read the book as a youngster then separate from as you grow older). But give the kid the chance to grow up a little, and he could be someone amazing. The tragedy is in the lost…

The mere fact that "slut" is a female pejorative (such that "male" needs to be appended if talking about a guy) should tell you something.

Ditto Oberyn. Can you imagine if, say, Brienne or Margery were just casually dropping in at the whorehouse all the time?

Ugh. The problem with Samantha Jones is that the entirety of characterization is "likes to have sex" (later, it's "likes to have sex and has cancer"). She's a caricature. I'll take a sex-positive female character whose sex-positivity is a side note, not the raison d'etre of the character, thanks.
