She lost so much support after Tyler's Ponderosa video where she was making her problems the highlight of his video. It called into question just how bullied she really was and perhaps there may have been a shred of truth (or substantially more than a shred) to Will's claim that she was a professional victim.
I don't…

Oh god, I have a parent with BPD, and you bet your sweet ass that one is dangerous.
Abi's not BPD at all, but she's clearly Cluster B, which narrows it down to two of them as we know she's not a sociopath either. Most definitely NPD or HPD.

I thought the same exact thing. When he got to the end of the story, I was very confused. Not kidding, I rewound it because I thought I missed something. But nope, like you said, "I met this hot chick, and then I married her" just about covers it.

Wouldn't the same logic follow for Peih Gee? Abi was being inappropriate, and Peih Gee was accurately (?) recalling the inappropriateness.

I don't think he's attacking other cultures so much as he's attacking our own culture. The message — at least from the way I interpreted Hostel and Green Inferno — is that this is the way Americans ignorantly view the outside world, not that this is what the outside world is actually like.

I saw this tonight, and I don't disagree with your assessment. I'm part of that demographic that isn't completely disgusted by the tactics he uses to get his point across, but I understand that we're not talking about a particularly large demo here.

I think what you're talking about is the point of his movies. He's very intentionally playing upon American provincialism. It is xenophobic like you rightly point out, but it's very much tongue-in-cheek xenophobia, or less of a commentary about his own xenophobia and more of a commentary about America's collective…

Worlds Apart might be my single least favorite season ever, but the great thing about this show is it's a flip-of-the-coin chance that the next season will be good.
Speaking of chance, last night at work I had the most obnoxious conversation with a colleague who was telling me that in roulette if there's a long streak…

Maybe? :) Did you go to school in California? UCLA perhaps?
I wish I could point you in the direction of some good research, but I'm so far out of the academic realm now that I unfortunately cannot. A quick google search rendered some seemingly interersting academic papers analyzing gender roles within the genre.
If you…

I'm all for a mature woman winning this go around. When was the last time we had one of those? Denise? All that being said, Peih Gee, Tasha and Kimmi got better-than-decent edits this evening.

Oh, in his mind, I'm sure he does. This is a post-politically correct generational exploration of Millenial entitlement as it relates to youth desensitized to violence blah blah blah

Not to mention Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett being the epitomes of fucking awesome. Or Connie Britton. Or Dylan McDermott. I don't know these people personally, but I do know people who have worked with them, and they're all pretty universally loved.
To answer your question on Conroy, I know someone who worked very…

You are connected to Paulson by two degrees of separation? So jealous. I have the hugest crush on her. I was telling my wife (who also adores her) how we can engineer the three of us being besties; as I was getting through the first two steps of the plan, she interjects with "honey, this is the stuff restraining…

I don't know what your interest level is here (I'd guess it's close to zero), but I had a Renaissance lit prof in undergrad, which was right around the time Scream the original came out. And she was all gung ho doing research on the slasher film genre, which was apparently at the time an en vogue topic of research…

There's that. The lack-of-realism event that really got under my skin was how Emma Roberts was speaking to the dean. Umm… really? I think that was within the first 10 minutes and I nearly changed the channel then.

I for one look forward to the upcoming train wreck re-enacting the OJ fiasco. If that scene in the black salon of Coven is any preview for things to come, it's going to be tone deaf and hilariously offensive.

I would argue that he thinks he's making deep statements about important current issues while hilariously missing his mark nearly every time. And the hilarity I am referring to is more of a "we're laughing AT you, not with you" sort of way.

I found Deaf Taylor Swift's character the one truly funny part of the episode. Her "deaf" reactions to the devil dude on the lawnmower with non-sequitur dialogue all related to Taylor Swift was kind of inspired comedy. I hate to admit it because I loathed this episode, but that was pretty funny.

You know when you have a friend and you have to give that friend some tough love? For example, "hey, friend! I know you love that bowler hat. It's really cool, I know, but wouldn't it be great if you tried wearing it again, like, never?"
Someone needs to have this discussion with Mr Murphy about casting Emma Roberts in…

She is literally the worst.
