He looked unsure of what might happen to him, he was genuinely worried. but maybe… he is the bastion of "heroes" masculinity this show champions over the cowering female.

No it means "good at the decimal number system". If you would like to include 1960 in the 50's, by all means be my guest.

Skyfall was well-crafted but completely and utterly pointless. If James Bond had stayed at home with headphones on, stoned and ignoring the outside world entirely for the movie, all of the consequences would be the same.

Cultural decades run from 0-9, i.e the 60's were from 1960 to 1969, not from 1961-1970. This means we're five years into this decade. An argument can be made that this is incorrect because of where humans would have started numbering years from, but really this has become sociologically and not necessarily…

I think it may be more complex than that. So much of what Patrick was going through in season 1 was about meeting someone he really liked but who he was constantly distanced from because of his upbringing and insecurities. He had so many issues that we've seen resolve or soften over the course of this season, that his…

"The problem is that no one's gonna come and see it, because it's about gay sex.
So the gays will only come because they
want a glimpse of a cock and they'll be…
And the straights won't come because, well,
it's got nothing to do with their world.
They'll go and see pictures of
refugees or murder or rape,
but gay sex? Fuck…

I have this sinking feeling that is going to have me depressed for weeks

What article did you read? because it wasn't this one.

Everybodies has terrible relationships. period. When 2/3 marriages end in divorce, the idea that relationships ever stabilise or that "maturity" and "experience" help how poorly people treat each other and how difficult escaping crippling insecurity is in general, is absurd. it is great to finally have a show that…

I decompressed for a bit by browsing websites i'd already checked and then covered my face with a pillow. that was rough

Ah that was it, I remember people talking about The Insider (just saw it in another comment). Anyway, I'm even boring myself with this shit now.

This is true. I wonder what film i am thinking of? As I said, I'm recalling people speaking about "consolation oscars" from when i was a young teen.

No, I'm saying that as a teenager I was aware that his award for Mystic River was seen as a consolation for not winning it. I don't care about any of the films i mentioned. And the less i see of Russell Crowe, the better. I do really like Sean Penn though.

Although Kidman's performance is so anxious and insecure that you completely buy her extraversion as a means to not deal with the other stuff in her life. she hard sells annoying.

As does Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Halle Berry

I always read it as an attack on a particularly-coddled, anxious masculinity and the desperation it feels at its own impotence. And all the male characters represent the same masculinity. But hey, suburban subversion reads too.

not that i care about him too much but Russell Crowe for Gladiator instead of for A Beautiful Mind and potentially Sean Penn for Mystic River instead of for I Am Sam. At least my high-school mind felt like these were consolation Oscars.

I think if you limit the scope to the MCU, then the point GillianAndersonCooper made is pretty spot on. Something like Daredevil is planned to be grittier and more cable television-like than Agents of Shield.

You truly seem to know nothing about how Marvel structured Phase I do you? It's a shame because with even the smallest amount of research effort on your part you'd be able to follow other people's points more easily and not come off as so ignorantly obnoxious as this comment makes you seem.
