Mark Ruffalo has amazing muscular control!

Why did you make me listen to this????

Right, so unless the total bail was $30k, which is insane for public urination and disorderly conduct, they owe Ray $300.

Bondsmen usually charge 10% of the total bail to post, so unless their bail was set at $30k, which is huge unless they have priors, Ray is more likely out $300 (which is still nothing to cough at). Chalk it up to the show not knowing much about how the other half lives….

Most writers, I'd argue, go through this sort of pretend phase early in their lives. And most of them don't make it through and go and do something else. It's that part of your career when you realize that 1) writing is hard work as opposed to a creative wank and 2) to write, you have to, have to, have to write…

That's what I didn't get. Do they not have bail bondsmen in NY? And why did Ray say they owed him that? Don't you get the bail back when you return for your hearing/court?

solution: keep writing. much like being gay, it gets easier/better

It's kind of a taste thing, I think. Her dialogue doesn't seem like it's trying to be realistic in any way, so I enjoy it for what it is.

Not every show has to be realistic. Having a show where Hannah has to run around and worry about paying rent could be interesting, but I respect the right of this and other shows to eschew that screen time for other purposes.

—Not a fan of the "Hannah takes everyone down a peg" scene — if only for the execution Liked the concept, but the execution felt laggy. Don't really buy the relationships.

Who goes to Sundance after Cannes?

Isn't chap 11 just debt restructuring?

This episode was funny, but it was definitely the most labored of all the BC eps for me in its run thus far. The heavy reliance on Bevers, and the office-interns-as-slaves was very obvious as comedy, and gets away from the beautifully funny character stuff they do on this show.

Oh, there's no doubt that there's skill there — my question had to do with genre, which sometimes people mistake for quality.

But my point was it sounds like you don't like quiet dramas to begin with.

In fairness, you're calling out a bunch of different genres and mashing them together. The movies you like are mostly dudebro genres, the indie ones you mentioned were dramas or dramedies.

Where did you live that they mailed you detergent at random?

Did they forget to change his password?

After a while, though, the sheer preponderance of these cutesy Amerindie movies about arrested adolescents—and other people with non-problems—starts to become numbing.

Making racist/violent comments when drunk is totally cool!
