I love Kristen Wiig but hated every single one of her regular SNL characters.

I love her and I love both gonzo pillow talk sketches.

No, she looked him under his real(?) last name from the class, not Barry Bloch. (Block?)

The Wizard of Oz*? Huh? How many of those were remakes of movies, much less mediocre movies?

I liked Infernal Affairs...as did many, many people, seeing as it won a ton of awards, made a ton of money, and has a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

*Though I do like the idea that you saw the 1902 Broadway musical and…

Of course it’s useful! That’s why I use it.

I use it in English, not Spanish, so I don’t have an opinion on your example. English doesn’t usually gender nouns.

I say it out loud. “lah-TEEN-ex.” It’s useful to have a non-gendered term!

I made my parents make me see this TWICE in ONE WEEKEND.

Why? Why? All I can figure is I didn’t yet realize I was bi and needed to revisit the strange feelings Nicole Kidman gave me.

You definitely seem like the expert on what Latinx people do and do not want.

Does Kate do anything as cool as Dean’s rotating shoe closet in the original???

The whole original movie is almost justified by how amazing that closet is, how horrible that she doesn’t appreciate it.

there’s a sizable list of great films that are remakes of mediocre films.

Only 40 years later! Good job Academy, way to show how hip you are.

For the most part? Fictional dystopias allow white men to imagine themselves as the oppressed underdog.

Dude, it’s Miller and Kanye’s own premise! If you don’t like it bitch to them about it.

James Franco I think?

Thank you, I also had trouble parsing that!

It was a joke. There was an early episode in which both Monica and Jian-Yang were shunned for their smoking.

It was like an earlier (better) version of the recent “Don’t out me as Christian” bit—Silicon Valley as totalitarians for certain progressive markers.

Recently at my awesome-selection-having local deli I picked up a 4-pack of sours and when I got home discovered some sadist had swapped out THREE of them for some sorta hop-semen IPA and I wanted to punch someone.

Yes I tried one; it tasted like marijuana water.

I’m not a skeptic; I don’t fucking like IPAs. Of course I’ve tasted one in the past few years—because they’re EVERYWHERE and WILL NOT GO AWAY.

Leave me alone with my weissbiers and porters and sours.

I also wanna gives props to Winkler and Newsome for getting me to root for them despite the huge age difference. That dinner scene, and the way she purred, “Right in the balls?” after the wonderfully studied fedora/parakeet bit—it made me want them to spend time together.

It was interesting in the fatherhood fantasy that he was in a suit and tie. It underscored that he’s cobbling together images of what he thinks family is rather than thinking at all about what he wants to be/do.
