I did not re-watch season one before season two came out, but I’m glad they’ll be giving Will a break. I am super stoked for the Dustin and Steve bromance though. They’re two of my favorite characters, so that is going to be great. Especially if they team up to kick Billy’s ass some more.

We need a downvote button for stupid-ass comments like your’s. Noah was fucking excellent in S2, all the more surprising because he was barely present through the entirety of S1, so we had no idea if he had skills or not. And it turned out he did.

This is a bad take and I want you to know that.

Perfect timing for those questions to be asked given the movie they were discussing. Also John Oliver’s career and success is based on asking tough questions so it looks like he is doing gangbusters.

I read between the lines. Mainly that you’re the kind of person who would say “This isn’t the right place for that kind of confrontation!” To which I would ask, “Where is?” Are we supposed to wait for Hoffman et. al. to host a panel on sexual harassment before it gets brought up?

Er, you know John Oliver isn’t a journalist, right? And yet, a lot of journalists aren’t and haven’t been asking these questions. Sexual harassment is “rude” and “entirely unwelcome,” yet it’s been treated as a big joke by Hollywood for decades.

Nope. Oliver brought up harassment allegations against Hoffman while they were discussing a movie centered around harassment allegations. It’s literally the perfect time to ask Hoffman about them.

...asked why Netflix wasn’t taking the allegations from Masterson’s accusers seriously... he responded, “we don’t believe them.”

Everything else aside, why on earth would that executive say anything besides “Legal says I’m not allowed to comment on that”?

Oh, good one! Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci really elevate that movie above the book.

This is the best possible statement he could release, in that he’s still just as much a piece of shit as he was yesterday. Which is a lot, but at the very least he didn’t go “oh they’re lying” or “I was drunk...and now I’m gay!”

For the record, before anyone asks: no, this does not make it all better.

They also owe Tig Notaro an apology for calling her “ungrateful” and shit for daring to speak out about this.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

Kevin Spacey is currently preparing his statement about how he’s really sorry if these events that he can’t remember actually happened, and also he is a new type of sexuality that hasn’t been discovered previously.

I’m not sure how I feel about going on Twitter to tell Twitter that you don’t care what Twitter thinks.

I’m expecting the sequel to fit the familiar pattern of “slightly disappointing sequel to an original that was way better than I ever thought it could be.” So on the whole, the two together equals a pretty good movie experience.

So yeah, it’s a little stern, but there are a couple things of note:

It both helps and hurts the movie for sure. But for my money, I lean more towards the helping side of things. There was a way they could have ended the movie acknowledging the aliens without indulging too much into it, and thematically it would have been great.
