    Steve is the only character in the series to subvert a cliche at all (except Nancy a little) and I therefore love him dearly.

    I'm already paying for Netflix man. I just wanna stream it 30 times in a row and then never listen to it again.

    I've had "Set Me Free" stuck in my head all week and cannot find it freely available online in full anywhere. Someone please help me.

    I'd say it's pretty on par qualitatively with Sense8. Kind of a mess, but an energetic, endearing mess.

    Sorry but this is ridiculous. Zoe Saldana was literally not black (or old) enough to play Nina Simone. For reference, Nina Simone: https://upload.wikimedia.or…

    Diff'rent Strokes!

    And Freida Pinto? under Best Actress. Like they were trying to think of a non-white actress, and that was all they could come up with.

    That's because you should be using a softboiled egg.

    pride?

    I mean…she is definitely supposed to come across as a plain jane relatable gal, and Hollywood absolutely has a history of casting extremely conventionally attractive women in these roles without actually committing to de-glamming them. For example, the scenes from this trailer of Hailee Steinfeld with zits and

    Kayla's point was that the movie seems to be asking us to believe beautiful pop star Hailee Steinfeld as some ugly, awkward fiend because of her perfectly normally looking wardrobe. One of the characters compares her to Danny Devito in the trailer.

    I assume she meant in Hollywood in general because I'd like to think nice things about Mike Nichols

    This looks:

    (B) Pretty charming;
    (C) Like the best thing Hailee Steinfeld's done since True Grit.

    Yes

    The Devil Wears Prada was a much better film then it should have been, and I would still agree with this statement.

    "Poussey's death was unfortunately foreshadowed by tropes. Just like that short-timer in the foxhole of a war movie, feeling hopeful and thinking about the future is sure to get you snuffed. So there's that."

    I was surprised this article didn't bring it up. Framing the murder of a queer black woman by law enforcement as indirectly the 'fault' of another queer black woman was the most 'problematic' part! (I think I'd ultimately defend that creative choice, but given the tone of the article, I'm surprised Ashley didn't take

    Well, Piper's definitely not supposed to come across as a sociopath, just an asshole. She's a 'well-intentioned liberal' type who is still very shaped by privilege and doesn't see how her actions effect others.

    Was Piper happy about her window tattoo? I thought she was still depressed about it, but honestly I pay a lot less attention during her scenes so maybe I'm remembering that wrong.

    It's also an attitude that very much lets humanity, as a species, off the hook.
