They may not be using rope, but these are lynchings. Ahmaud Arbery. Stalked. Targeted by one of these dangerous groups of white men. The lynch mob’s presence is replaced and amplified exponentially by the action of and transmission of the video recording of the lynching, viewed by so many millions of people. Why is…

I applaud Jordan for refusing to be bullied into being political. None of us, no matter how famous we are, have an obligation to be publicly political.

Hold up. It’s way too easy a target to trash Jordan, but what is worse is the utter lack of effort by the writer to research and see what Jordan actually has done for society at large and for making institutional advancements for black employees in the league and in the Charlotte Hornets office and organization.

I think that you are right about it being a boy, not a girl. That’s my fault. Thank you for pointing that out and for the kind words.

The strange part, the irony of it, is that this movie is being slammed during what is for the most part a global “stay at home” situation, and the weird details of humanity all being stuck at home, either jobless or with no schools open, with students only having the option of attending class online closely reflects…

This is an excellent episode, so I have to strongly disagree with you. I politely just want to point out a few things that were incredibly well-written, edited, and shot in terms of the storytelling “grammar” shown in this episode in order to provide an analysis and do my best to shine a light on a number of things…

Same thing happened with The Walking Dead at some point over the last few years, except it was Michonne giving a Sarah Connor from T2 voiceover delivery of exposition. When a television show has never used voiceover to explain the situation, not even once, but is forced to because the show has gone so far off the…

This inspired me to play SMB3 on my Switch Lite, but the button layout was far too awkward for me. I just couldn’t hold down the run button and easily or comfortably use the jump button. It put my right hand at an awkward angle and was actually rather painful for my joints. Am I the only one who has this problem? Do…

I saw this movie the night before my math midterm. I was insanely stressed out and studying, and a friend of mine called me and suggested we go see that movie instead. I have incredibly fond memories about that film because it helped my stress levels immensely. At that point I was just studying the same things over…

I just want to point out the equally elusive and obvious reason that Picard was put into the golem. Because Patrick Stewart is old, there is ever a chance that he may die at any given point, but he enjoys the work so much that he wants to keep working. He enjoys the role and the work, and sooner or later he will die,…

The script here is both a new interpretation of and an homage to the classic era of the great stage farces before it veers into a genre twist that transports the characters into a reality that takes the form of absurdism literally, with the writers and art designers toying in the sandbox of existential thought and…

Thanks, much appreciated. And at this point in the game, with only two episodes left in the season, there have been some ups and downs, but the most recent episode really tired all of these internal and external conflicts together. The episode was written by Chabon. He deftly tired all of the buildup, interpersonal…

Yes, that would be a ghastly reductive move on the writers’ part. Oh the horror! <gasp & forehead slap, simultaneously>

He just does not seem imaginative or creative. Or reflective. Or thoughtful. To be a standup comic, you don’t have to be one of those things, but you have to have something like one of those things. You can hone the craft by paying attention to other people and crafting characters or story ideas from them to make jokes…

I am the same way. I recently introduced a friend to the show, starting with Eccleston, and now we are a few episodes into Tennant’s first season.

Chibnall is a writer of drama, not humor. So it’s not too surprising that he has turned the show into an all ages drama. However, I don’t know what sort of sense of humor he has because there is very little that is humorous or funny in these two seasons. He handles the material with seriousness, and there are very few…

I didn’t like the movie, but I loved the whole library setting on the Tardis, created as a space where the Doctor goes to kick up his/her feet, pick up some books, and spend time thinking and reading. I’d like to see a little bit more in terms of conversations had in other rooms while aboard the Tardis between the…

Pure evil.

Or as Bill Murray‘s last two words to Chevy Chase in their final verbal exchange: “Medium talent.”

It’s so weird how they got both the picture and the name wrong for this book:
