We did not. But they weren’t worse than these ones.

Bojack ended this last season on it’s most hopeful note.

Damnit, AV Club, I was all ready for a fight and you went and put the Good Place, the best television series of the year, in first place. I can’t argue with this. This show is amazing because it gets little details right and doesn’t try to drag out mysteries for 20 episodes. It deserved to win on the “Jason figured it…

That’s all true, sure, but realistically there’s a difference between being young and in love and agreeing to all that and then having to live with the reality of it being inescapable when it doesn’t work out for you. Everyone goes into marriage with the best intentions(well, most) and a lot of them fail all the same.…

I’m not saying it’s impossible that pleasant cultural exchanges, friendly sporting events, and consensual affairs took place within a colonial system that was also filled with horrors and injustice. But to solely depict the good without depicting the bad is to tell a lie of omission. And if you think I’m making a…

Barney’s sobriety status has changed.

What I loved was how basic Valencia’s piano playing was. I have no idea how well Gabrielle Ruiz plays piano, but it’s hilarious to me that Valencia is doing that inspirational fight song with Chopsticks-level skills.

Re: the titles, I love that this season’s all end with a period. It reads very “depression” to me.

Yes. She says that sometimes to clear her head she goes to the bathroom and starts watching music videos (which actually is something I did baaaaaack then as a teen, when MTV was about videos). So, as usual, she sees the videos and makes them her own narrative with the artists talking about Rebecca. The difference in…

I was thinking about Josh too because his actions surprised me more than anyone. He left her at the altar and then she tried to kidnap his mother. How did he think her seeing him after a suicide attempt would be a good thing for her? You make a good point that Rebecca did tell him she needed him in her life so Josh,…

I’m a psychologist who specializes in treating BPD, and this is one of the best fictional portrayals of the disorder that I’ve ever seen. The language used to describe the diagnosis was even in line with DBT, one of the most effective treatments for the disorder. Really impressed!

I think the movie works because it plays to Keanu’s strengths. Namely by framing his difficulty with emoting as a sort of silent rage. Plus it’s funny to see that the guy who plays Theon Greyjoy has now basically been typecasted to play assholes.

Indeed, he could have done this five years ago after Gawker broke the story about the allegations.

Well first I’d say thank you to the women who stepped forward to speak to the NYT and thus forced Louis’ hand. This would not have happened otherwise. He would have done Colbert, his movie would have come out, and life would have continued on.

It’s not his first name, Talese is his first name. The world calls him Gay Talese to distinguish between him and Talese Richardson from accounting.

Oh no, that just made an already sad moment even sadder. He’s still waiting for her, even after reading about her arson.

Rebecca’s alligator (and I assume Bunch’s bed), which makes the scene more poignant. Bloom’s been photographed with that alligator on-set since season 1.

Chidi ethics pedant corner - the review implies that utilitarianism is a selfish philosophical framework. It actually demands that the individuals practicing it sacrifice their interests for the benefit of the greater good. The only problem is that people are extremely talented at convincing themselves that their…

“Jason went to “Lynyrd Skynyrd High School,” which, from his description, sounds more like a sex abuse pyramid scheme run out of a tugboat graveyard.”

“The performing arts can be therapeutic for someone like you, Chidi! Penis puppetry and your anxieties make an especially good fit.”
