I don't know how many times I've tried to get friends/family/strangers on the street to give it a shot and I have yet to get a single convert. One friend watched the pilot episode, but never bothered with the rest of it, even though I told him that was about the most generic episode of the show and that it gets so…

Woah, woah, woah now. Monical's may have some similarities in format, but it's nothing like the shit-on-a-shingle that is St. Louis-style pizza. Monical's uses mozzarella, their crust is thin, but it isn't cracker by any stretch, and their mix of spices is much more nuanced.

My issue with this show is that it seems to completely miss the point of the original novella and the Darabont film.

"New York, I Love You" made me want to drop everything and move to the Big Apple. And, yeah, those three episodes are some great storytelling.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in rural Illinois, let me tell you, the use of the word "Orientals" is not unusual at all. There aren't that many Asian people in Illinois outside of Chicago, so the white people there don't even know that Oriental is not the preferred term. It's like not knowing that Inuit is…

That's pretty much the best way to describe it.

True, true, but you can at least check out the movie on DVD and if you like it, go all in for the Bluray from Amazon. Again, totally worth the $1.50 to see it.

My 9-year old watched the trailer on YouTube obsessively for a while. I took her to an early screening over Thanksgiving Weekend. I had to remind her two days later that she had seen it. So, your mileage may vary, but I don't see us picking this one up on DVD.

It's at one of your local 1,245 Redboxes for a $1.50. Totally worth the rental. Or you could rent it off Amazon - no Prime required. Still, totally worth it.

I kept waiting for that reveal and was surprised it never came. I could see that being the opening scene for Season 3.

For a holiday centered around food, I don't know how you could leave out three seasons of Hannibal.

Well, that's one way to purge all of that Thanksgiving dinner…

They also updated the pronunciation of Akira from "Uh-Keer-Uh" to "Ak-eer-uh". Subtle, but different, and very disorienting the first time you hear it.

Oh, shit, you're right! Um…let me see here, uh, you're such a…I mean…no, how about - Yeah, well, your mother is…no, that's just rude…um…hmmm. Let's just agree that we both surely suck for various reasons and move on.

1) Fair point
2) Nah, I've only seen it once and will probably never see it again.

That's because it's not a shark, but a metaphor.

And need a tax write-off

I'm sure they didn't realize that Ron Swanson was a parody of themselves…

But the guests don't know that (hell, the park employees are just barely starting to catch on to that). To guests, hosts are just objects to be used.

Or Elise may just be exploring her sexuality because this is a safe environment to do so. It's like Logan who walks off arm-in-arm with a male host and a woman host - he may be straight as an arrow, but it doesn't count if it's a robot since he's basically just having sex with a walking, talking Fleshlight.
