Inevitably there will still be gatekeepers - whether that be Amazon or specific publications or reviewers or whomever. There'd be just too much shit to wade through otherwise. Indeed, the hype around California owes more to this weird confluence of events with the Amazon-Hachette thing and Sherman Alexie on Colbert…

It could just be because I saw it so recently, but I thought Frank was good as hell and would probably call it my favourite so far this year.

Obviously it's nothing to be proud of, but most of the Street Fighter movie was shot on the Gold Coast (and there's a little bit in Brisbane too).

Agree with those above - I hope this gets renewed.

Their connection is based on more than a shared morbid sense of humour. Pamela has genuine affection for Louie - she's attracted to his open-heartedness, she just can't do it herself. She fears vulnerability. So, like you say, she does alienating things.

I'VE BEEN DRINKING GREEN TEA ALL GODDAMN DAY

Long Game of Thrones?

You're like the Jonah of commenters.

It's pretty fucked that this could (but probably won't, anyway) be the tipping point that costs them the WC rather than that little matter of the modern-day slavery and the dead workers and what not that constitutes their stadium building process.

In Pog form?

I'm a sexy cat.

I did not realise hating Peter Sarsgaard was a thing. I find him to be an interesting and talented actor.

IT'S BEEN some time since I heard the episode but more likely it was the other way around - i.e. they brought up the fact that they were twins mid-show and then had to account for why they had two different surnames.

It was something he said in response to a question about the lack of diversity in that Comedians in Cars with Coffee thing he does.

The thing that really bugs me about that Seinfeld 'All I care about is funny' bullshit is the way he seems to not understand or care about the fact that our ideas about what's funny are shaped by what we're exposed to rather than being inherent. As though there is an objective funniness. Oh, and that just happens to…

That really piqued my interest - does anyone know if there have been any books or anything written about that stuff? Because that would be super interesting to read about.

It's been happening all season.

Isn't the point of the conference they're at to showcase their shit for venture capitalists? I know within the story they were only entered into it because Richard forgot he had applied, but with the next episode being the last of the season, it would seem to give the writers plenty of outs going into the next season.

Wholeheartedly. It's well written and not mean-spirited or snarky or anything like that. I can't imagine a person who likes The Room not liking it.

I only just got around to reading Greg Sestero's book.
