Ugh, everything about this rubs me the wrong way. Berman was a favorite of many of MY favorite musicians. The “who” comments, the “how,” ... blech. Despite my own deep, deep depression... god, I just want to wrap any person feeling low enough to commit suicide in a hug and tell them there’s another way, even…

Hey as a general practice please don’t write the cause of death when covering suicides. It’s not particularly pertinent to the story, and more importantly it is more likely to cause suicide contagion among at-risk readers.

Please add a link to anti suicide support phone lines. That should be automatic on every story about suicide. Period.

give it to me now, 50 more episodes

I keep seeing references to the Sunset, but where in the movie does it show them in the Sunset? The only scene I could explicitly place as being in the western side of the city is when they’re driving west on Geary past the Parkway Motel, but that’s ... not the Sunset. Also their childhood homes look NOTHING like…

Say what you want about the overall quality of the movie (it was... fine), but as a film with mostly indoor shots, outdoor scenes set along nondescript streets, and filmed mostly on location in Vancouver, feel like calling it a love letter to San Francisco is a big stretch

First paragraph: “Clement Street dim sum”

As a SF native, I’m always mixed on deciding to see theoretical SF movies or read SF stories, and I haven’t decided on if I want to see this yet.

i pretty much agree. like, it was a cute “when you’re pretty tired but don’t want to go to bed just yet” “or kind of watch it in bed while doing something else” movie, but it wasn’t amazing. i get that there’s not enough asian representation like that in media, but just bc it’s the one asian movie doesn’t make it…

I enjoyed it! But...it wasn’t very good. I loved seeing familiar food and family dynamics and everyone in this is so damn likeable. Also! Niki Nakayama did the food artistry so extra points for that. The plot was uneven and heavy-handed, the acting wasn’t amazing, and it was paced oddly. But I still liked it!

A Love Letter to the Bay Area... that was filmed in Vancouver (in the screenshot above they’re on Pender Street in Vancouver). Except for covering the Canada Post boxes on the streets with USPS wrappers, they weren’t even trying to pretend like Vancouver was San Francisco — earlier, after they had dinner with Marcus’…

Yeah, Drake reminds me of those basketball fans who think that because they’re so close to the action they can insert themselves into the game. Cheer, jeer, support your team...but once you start thinking you’re a member of that team you start to forget that these people are doing a job and don’t need you being a…

Sorry but to call Drake a highly vocal Raptors fan really downplays what he really is, which is a cancer on the sideline. Funny shirts are one thing, but verbally taunting the players in a highly aggressive manner from a foot away, and feeling it’s his place to, like, go rub the coach’s shoulders during play time??…

Read the plot, read the reviews, read the competing fan theories, possibly even read the fanfiction, depending on who’s writing it (esp. cracktastic Good Place crossovers, given Mr. Harper’s presence)... basically, I may develop strong opinions about this piece of media I will not experience directly.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this. No, I will not watch your scary movie but I will read the entire plot on Wikipedia.

I want to watch scary movies but can’t stomach them. I, too, will take the spoilers even though I really want to watch Chidi on the big screen.

Aaaaah! Someone point me to the spoilers so I can read what happens but never watch this scary movie.

Imagine the horror when they’re forced to assemble cheap furniture with only pictographic instructions and a hex key.

I really loved this show. It took a little bit for me to realize that I loved it. I cried when Bertie talked about her experience as a youth at the lake in a way I didn’t expect. It was important and impressive, yet ordinary. 

I loved this show. Jelly Island was so beautiful. Way heavier than I thought it would be with the cast. Watched it in one sitting.
