Next you’re going to tell me that Marlon Brando wasn’t the studio’s first choice for Vito, Coppola wasn’t their first choice to direct, the studio didn’t want it to be a period piece, and the novel had a subplot about vaginoplasty! 

The only time I yelled at the tv was then. "Neapolitan!"

Gene breaking in to the cancer patient’s house made me have to pause the show from the anxiety. but him not bailing on the plan when the other guy bailed, and smashing the window seemed so far out of character. That’s a risk that Gene, Jimmy, or Saul wouldn’t have taken. But maybe that’s the point.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

I am both envious of and happy for future binge-watchers of this show who will be able to watch these last b&w episodes with no commercials. I didn’t know the show’s title until just now, (good title btw) but it could easily have been “Breaking Bad part 2" because Gene really, for a second there, both considered using…

Even if we ignore the fact that the book was considered a classic for decades before the TV show existed, I’d still expect a mention of the original source material in this context if we were to adhere to the most basic editorial standards. The fact that they mention the streaming service but not the female* author of…

Giving Jez the benefit of the doubt, I’m pretty sure Pinhead Mace up there does NOT know it’s a book and was indeed referring exclusively to the show.

Exactly what I came here to comment myself. How incredibly depressing that this website would refer to The Handmaid’s Tale as “a Hulu show”.

Rape and incest exceptions to abortion bans only make sense once you acknowledge that abortion isn’t about protecting a human life, but about controlling women’s reproductive decisions. Because if abortion is the taking of a human life, well, there is no exception to murder that would allow a victim of rape to go and…

Citing The Handmaid’s Tale—a Hulu show set in a futuristic dystopia

Wow, that analogy is so freaking spot on. They were so preoccupied with trying to win they didn’t think what it would actually mean. 

Precisely this.

The GOP dog caught the car. A great many of them never thought they’d catch it, and now the party doesn’t know what to do with it, as a whole.

Our best case is seeing more stories like this start happening.

Yeah, that’s pretty amazing for a feminist website to write. 

“Citing The Handmaid’s Tale—a Hulu show set in a futuristic dystopia”

There’s a greater than 0% chance he Budd Dwyers himself out of this.

also the comments on the trailer post I thought were pretty pleasant, just mentioned her accent is present but doesn’t mean she won’t do Monroe justice.

Considering how antagonistic we are toward the writers, editors, and executives, I’m just amazed it didn’t happen sooner. But I think it’d be great if it all just turned into a long-term game of comradely snarking.

Guess it had to happen.

Okay, the AVClub reaching the point where its headlines are overtly antagonistic towards the readers and commenters is pretty dang funny.

i think it hits streaming a week later, too, if you feel like a V3.
