I'm starting to think the people who say "I'm just trolling/being ironic" aren't so much justifying it to others as themselves.

"Help your mother! You have 30 seconds to comply!"

It's the biggest crisis situation she's had to handle on her own, sure eventually she meets someone who can help but just that first period where she's figuring out food, water, etc. shows that she's resourceful while still not blocking out the emotional impact of what's happened.

I'm fine with the show's current level of darkness. It's fundamentally a positive kind of show.

I didn't see that as a Cranston parody at all. Didn't look like him or do anything that his character did.

It was kind of a sleeper hit, but it's also three years old so still not terribly relevant.

Fairly sure that segment was spoofing the 1998 Godzilla movie (hence "Zilla", which is actually Toho's name FOR the TriStar creature). Of course that makes it REALLY out of date and it's confusing that they don't mention the newest one at all, but- well it wasn't a very well written segment is the thing.

Well, I think naturally your perception of people's ages changes as you age, so that you increasingly see people younger than you as really REALLY young, etc.

Her "pillaging" is basically stealing baubles from rich people which puts her around the same level of dastardliness as the Scarlet Pimpernel and Robin Hood, though. The murder is bad but she tries to excuse it by making it someone who's going to die anyway, and even then she instantly regrets it. She's not…

Saw Army of Darkness at the Drafthouse, and won a Xena mug! This movie- I feel like it defies critical evaluation? Like it's not as skillfully put together as Evil Dead 2 but it has such swagger and is willing to go into such weird areas (the whole sequence with the Tiny Ashes, frex) that you overlook some of the…

This is because other filmmakers want to make things that meet standards of technical quality. These guys just dedicated themselves to finishing what they started no matter how chintzy it turned out.

The whole thing is this unwieldy, unholy amalgam of economic theory, artistic theory, and a framework of "pure reason" that rejects empiricism (and its falsifiable claims) in favor of rhetoric. There's never any need to test and experiment, it's all been solved already.

Capitalism =!= Randian Objectivism. It's possible to still have a capitalist system with some regulations and some kind of welfare system or safety net, which is the kind of compromise Rand rejects absolutely (because Randian Objectivism is nothing if not absolutist.)

Brad Bird has gone on record as not being a follower of Objectivism, and the thing is, while his movies do tend to focus on talented people being held down, there's also an emphasis on actually using your abilities for the benefit of others, for the… well, collective good. Tomorrowland is trying to develop things…

Inspector Steed? Please tell me he strikes up a friendship with a suffragette named Peel and they go on to fight evil.

This episode resonated with me a little, even if I've not been to those specific kinds of churches. I'm an Episcopalian but haven't been to a church service in ages, not because I stopped believing but because I'm just not interested in getting up early on Sundays.

I feel like we're all getting distracted from the most important thing, which is how awesome "Last Mouse on the Left" is.

I don't quite get the reviewer's insistence on spending most of the review focusing on whichever segment was "the best" and devoting much less space to the others.

I remember a local library had this wonderful comprehensive book on late night horror movie hosts that I checked out a few times, going from its beginnings with Vampira and the Universal Shock package to the late 80s.

The Boyz 4 Now song is already stuck in my head.
