The gimmick of the final scene is painfully unrealistic (how many people would Tess have had to speak to - discuss plans, discuss pay, discuss whatever - before she actually walked into that office?) but her triumph is so great that it doesn’t matter in the moment.

I watched this with my wife a while back (she’s in her mid-30s now) and she damn near got whiplash from all the ultra-80s hair and clothes. The one outfit she loved was Weaver’s red jumpsuit-looking thing at the cocktail party.

Yeah, but he only reads late 20th century trash. VC Andrews, Jacqueline Susann, etc. It's really disappointing. 

Steve Harvey (and others) make a very good point: it’s b.s. that Vick served more time for killing dogs than many (too many) white people serve for rape or the killing of black people. I agree 100%.

Dude’s an offensive coordinator for college football. Of COURSE he loves Hitler. All this dipshit cares about is how to inspire blind passion into mindless dipshits every Saturday, and let the ends justify the means. 

Rapist.

“two down, four to go” says “we’re all going to die someday.”

Sadly evem Cleese has lost a step. Ten years ago, he would have said, “two down, three to go.”

What a pleasant surprise that movie was. The seduction/sync scene with her character and Joi was one of my favorite movie moments of the decade.

I wonder if they'll bury him in his shed, or if this will finally be what it takes for them to get a second one to keep him in. 

“I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more…

I’m kind of on your side here. I felt the first season was superb and engaging, and had a sorta-kinda twist with the time-hopping that added texture to some characters and illustrated the Groundhog Day-esque reality of the hosts without feeling like (too much of) a gimmick.

Good point. If I could pay money for officially licensed De-Specialized versions (the o.g. OT, of you will) I’d do it in a heartbeat.

The De-Specialized Editions of the OT are absolutely beautiful, not to mention a fascinating story in and of themselves.

Bag fries are wonderful.

Who hasn’t died or been driven insane by a nemesis after dating Daredevil?

Dammit now I gotta go watch it again.

The general mindset from most people I've known over the last 25 years (regardless of gender or ethnicity) is that it was obvious who killed them, but the DA's handling of the case was so inept that you can't blame the jury for the acquittal. 

I was fine with Force Awakens’ by-the-numbers approach. It was sort of a “proof of concept” that Disney had hired people who understood what a Star Wars film looked and felt like. And when that went over well, I loved that the next movie (still a Disney movie, still the same producers, etc; don’t forget that) took…
