A lot of people didn't get it this, but she never castrated him. She just numbed his genitals and made him THINK she was castrating him. It was psychological torture.

At the end, Freddie is given a choice between joining up w/ Lancaster and attempting to quell (you see what I did there?) his natural desires. Instead, he chooses to go at it alone, and then he goes and gets laid - because that's all that Freddie is, he's the Id. I will admit that the end did seem kind of abrupt here,

Well, if you're a dude, joking about hitting a woman isn't really funny. I wouldn't call it "problematic" so much as "douchey"

I totally agree w/ you, but I just rewatched this movie last night and there's even a part where PSH's character says, "good boy" to Freddie. And there is definitely a theme of animal vs human when it comes to The Cause, for example Freddie puts on headphones w/ The Master speaking and he's saying that humans are

I live in Northern California and there's some crazy dude who put up signs by the freeway about how we should be a new state called Jefferson. It's uhhh….interesting. He is definitely like a libertarian gun nut. We have a lot of those. :/

Wait, how did I make it weird? I was responding to Close-watcher who immediately brought it up. I thought it was odd that someone who has seen as much of this show to make it to the second season would bring it up in the first place.

It wasn't the hands I was worried about :0

A million times yes!!!

No mention of Linklater? I would take him over Lynch any day. 95% in film school either want to be Tarantino or Lynch - it is, ahem, annoying.

Well, Bojack is a horse and has had sex w/ numerous human women. And an owl, and a cat. It's best not to think about the logistics!

Yup. It's weird too because gaming in general is so ubiquitous - just about everybody plays some form of video game, whether it's Sims or something freemium or FPS or MMORPG or point-and-click adventure. Unfortunately, there is one type of "gamer" that everyone associates as the typical gamer and that's a kid w/ a

I'm a fan of Telltale games but omg I feel like Life is Strange takes it to a whole new level. I can't wait for the next episode!

I am aware of the context. My problem was how the sequence was framed and shot - the POV shots of her being subjugated were great, but the long shots of her naked body send the wrong message. Neil Marshall, who was a guest director on the show in the first or second season, even came out and stated that a producer on

When I was watching the scene RIGHT before he is attacked, I kept going, "holy crap, what a dick!"

lol whoops my B! i just couldn't pass up another opportunity to talk shit about that guy.

As someone who has only seen the first season and the season finale of the last season of GoT, I found the Dany storyline disturbing. She is raped, she then seeks advice on how to please her husband/rapist from a prostitute, which leads us to a ridiculously sexualized scene between the two women. Then she falls in

He also thought he had a consensual and totally-okay dalliance w/ a 13-year-old he gave qualuudes and champagne. Dude made some decent art but his own perceptions are pretty skewed.

That scene from Happiness is so amazing. Uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and funny all at once. Dylan Baker is a super underrated actor!

Everyone's birthday is August 8th (the 8th month, the 8th day, presumably 1988) not August 6th.

Eh, I didn't feel like he specifically was being awkward because she was a girl or sexual tension. In this same episode, he said all that inappropriate shit to parents just because he was nervous. It works w/ his character. If they had Dinesh and Gilfoyle trying to sleep with her and being awkward about it, I would
