“WhY dOeSn’T sHe JuSt LeAvE hIm?”

She’s over 40, female, and not white.

There was a Dodge commercial a few years back where the narrative was that RAM pickup trucks were so powerful, they could tow an entire building - as demonstrated by relocating a small church in Anytown, USA.

Not a fan of churchy shit and really not a fan when people mix their churchy shit with jingoism.

From the previews it really looked like this was Twilight-ing gothy 90's teen witches. “Let’s sand off whatever rough edges they have and . . . also . . . make them sparkle instead of, you know, be dangerous in any way.”
“Cut your hand and bleed into a little cup thing? No, can’t do that, we’ll just do milk-baths.”

Poor Ted Lasso gets no love.

...and one of Letterman’s favorites:

I was hoping that the Kat story would push Eva into conflict with her dad. There are interesting story elements here, but they’re not coming together the way they should. 

Because Mallory sucks.

I loved that this skipped the obligatory long stretch in U.S. sexual assault narratives where the woman spends half the story refusing to tell anyone or acknowledge anything. And yes, I realize that right now in this day and age and at this moment in time there is every reason for an assault victim to not go to the…

“Once again, a black woman let a black man off the hook with regard to his child. She should expect him to be involved, to care, to be a part of the child’s life. If he chooses not to be there, that is on him, but she shouldn’t give him a pass to just go about his business, that is a horrible message to send and has…

@DoNotGiveAShit thanks for advocating on behalf of rapists everywhere! Fun fact, when I used to get that drunk, I’d pass out. I didn’t molest sleeping people. I’ve been through years of therapy to come to terms with this, among other things. And I’m not going to let some ignorant internet idiot tear me down with their…

This is going to be a tough watch. I was raped when I was 20 at a college party. Drank too much, blacked out, went in and out of consciousness as a guy I didn’t know raped me. It’s been 13 years and I’ve only just recently been able to view it as rape. I laughed it off, ignored it, avoided it, blamed myself. It’s a…

It’s baffling to me that, from the talent involved, both of these shows could be this unentertaining. 

Filling in the baskstory and letting the audience see more of their relationship (why it worked and why it didn’t work) would have been a huge help to the series. We got so little of that, and it made it difficult to know if Ruby and Billy were each other’s “one that got away” or if they were just romanticizing the…

I love Sepinwall and respect his opinions greatly, but I will never fucking watch “Dave.”

Oh, I don’t know. I think Issa came across as pretty unlikable in the second and third episodes. She seemed self-involved and unwilling to be there for Molly, inviting Condola to their dinner and bailing on their Thanksgiving talk. I don’t think this break-up is one-sided at all.

The Long Walk was one of my favorites.

In a way Molly reminds of me of Charlotte from Sex and The City: someone with unrealistic expectations of how relationships work, and who needs to have her delusions completely destroyed in order to snap into place what she actually wants instead of what she thinks she wants. Finding out about her dad’s infidelity star…
