“It doesn’t exist. If it does exist, it is made up. If it isn’t made up, it is wrong. If it isnt wrong, you are interpreting it wrong because I am smarter than you. If you aren't interpreting it wrong, it is a hatchet job. Look how they persecute me!"

Suggested tagline: “This Cashier is ready to make some change.”

it’s funny how certain things become acceptable over time, like how the conservatives have embraced certain comedians and shows once they’re in their tribe. Ted Nugent probably wasn’t beloved by the WW2 crowd, same for Kid Rock and the religious types. But unorthodox fashion and even to some extent being gay has…

They cut of the student’s tongue “quietly” and sent them to conversion therapy to find Jesus instead "wonderfully".

I finally saw “Desperately Seeking Susan” a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. It had one of Rosanna Arquette’s best performances, made great use of NYC locations, and even reminded me of Jacques Rivette’s “Celine and Julie Go Boating.” (I would be very surprised if Susan Seidelman had not watched that a…

It’s sort of nice to know that the quality of his character aligns neatly with the quality of his writing.

Also, what’s the equivalent for guys?

At times it tries for the absurdist hyperrealism of Lynch—at a morning meeting of the sheriff’s department, Martin sits in silence as his boss leads everyone in a chant of “Fascism!”, then busts out a ukulele

Would not be my choice for a S6 recommendation, but I guess The Doctor’s Wife doesn’t work for this joke.

This is certainly not the behavior I’d expect from the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for ‘Best Chick Lit’.

Jesus, Amazon, whose dad is this for?

Horror (and unapologetic horror vs. self-reflexive horror especially!) is a good example, though I think that was partially an age thing — if you look at when horror was more frequently dismissed by critics, it was before a real boom of younger critics gaining recognition in the 2000s. As with romantic comedies, sure,…

Exactly. And specifically, that all genres have certain elements that tend to repeat themselves, but romantic comedies, for a long time, seemed to get dinged harder for formula leanings than others.

That doesn’t make all of those movies or even many of those movies good, but it is weird that it felt like that genre…

that rom-coms are criticized because male-dominated film criticism believes anything feminine is beneath them.

This show is extremely hilarious and depressing (which is the best kind of hilarious). Good to know it will get a final season.

Aparna Nancherla should get her own sitcom, maybe with her and Tiya Sircar (The Good Place is also ending) as sisters.

Three is fine as long as there’s a spin-off based on Kate Glass and John Strickland.

Hey! You don’t even know my kids!

Socially maladjusted, condescending nerds with esoteric knowledge who think they’re the smartest person in the room

New Media’s alright. I understand the direction they’re going with that.

I’m less serene about extra Bilquis, Mad Sweeney, and cutting out of Shadow’s time in Minnesota. Season 2 spent a LOT of time at the funeral house and didn’t really move too much. Laura’s trip to New Orleans was another puzzler, but eh.

I have…
