yeah, that type of deliberate poll-rigging is way more interesting in a discussion about 'something that imdb might want to act on' than lazily pointing out that imdb is not and will never be a perfect cross-section of society.

What a load of bollocks. How is it imdb's fault that young people are more likely to be active on a review-website? How is it imdb's fault that Hollywood sucks at making good female-lead movies? Why would having an uterus prevent me from liking star wars or lord of the rings?

Being religious and making jezus-jokes is 'kidding yourself'?
That's like saying a gay person can't crack jokes about gay sterotypes, which seems to be the direction we are heading as a culture and i don't like it.

Welp, that sentence can be interpreted in a pretty dark way

I had a similar experience: i'm not all up to who plays what so i recognized him from his earlier roles but didn't straight away recognize the old dude in the movie. It took me a long time to realize that the dude from Wall Street should have aged since then.
I read they put a lot of work in that scene, but it…

I was vastly unimpressed by the talk of the greec finance minister who kindly explained that 'the mountain of debt' is as big as 'the mountain of outstanding debt'. *gasp*: the system complies with the most basic economic principles, who would have thought.

Yeah, part of their shtick is providing jobs, so you needn't feel guilty for shopping there if your are not-poor (as long as you don't snag up all the best clothes of course, and don't act all smug and mighty over buying second-handed stuff).

I remember that one. It had the right amount of funny-without-being-obnoxious and *actually teaches you a usefull skill* that can help reduce waste.
Much more interesting than the usual circlejerk.

Ugh, i hate it when they try to make you buy or do things (sponsor walks or some such): just pass the collection plate already dude, if i am shamed into giving money i really don't need some crappy momentum to remind me of that moment of weakness. In fact i'd rather have forgotten all about that donation by the time…

The original idea is great and there are some interesting talks (even today, imo). But unfortunately the majority of what shows up on the front page nowadays are indeed thought-leaders and other salesmen, who are all using these same tiresome emotional tricks to pretend to be popular and wise.

I try to ignore all the talks full of empty rethoric and all the 'obvious selfpromotion' (if someone has 'entrepreneur' in their description that is a big red flag to me) and seek out the actual scientists wanting to share some interesting research-results and fun new theories in an intelligent way.
They can be found…

That was definitely my impression: a worldweary woman who expects very little true happiness from life who finally trusted a dude enough to marry him.
Normally that would be the end of a story, but here it's the beginning.

I didn't like him much on neither Who nor Sherlock. I feel like he might be most usefull as some kind of secondary writer who brings in original ideas but does not decide which ideas to actually run with. Dude seems like a kinda okay writer who above all needs to develop waaaaay better 'what to cut from my story'…

A writer who references an app as proof of bad writing? That's a new one.
A writer approaching writing as some pure-objective-quality mathematical excersize? Not new, all of them insufferable though.
The whole point of writing and especially funny writing is that you think up new things.

Agreed: none of the other doctors were bad, but Capaldi's doctor makes the character rise to new heights.
He is just so damn good at capturing different aspects without it feeling forced: from silly to sad to angry to scared to excited to charismatic, all in a reasonably-coherent package of emotions.

Yeah, that really bothers me: he goes above and beyond to save Clara, who is merely the last of his 'temporary human pets'.
But with his actual wife whom he loves dearly he just throws his hands in the air 'sorry honey, your death is set in stone, nothing i can do but throw a fancy farewell party'. What the hell…

You are not the only one: i could brush it aside because 'scifi' and 'dr who, not known for making a whole lot of sense'. But yeah, that bugged me as well when i saw it: who the hell has a farm right in the middle of barren nothingness?

I agree: it is a fine line and it could have blown up in their face, but in the end i feel they managed to bring her back without spitting on the dramatic impact of her death.

It was refrenced several times that there are other time-lords in other tardises out there.

Now that nuWho has been on for some years and gone through several doctors and companions (and hinting there were a lot more unseen companions and friends) it does start to get repetitive and a bit tedious that every one of them always is painted as 'the love of his life', so to speak.
