DeTECTive Munch.

This comes from your linked article on CRT:

In 1995, I worked for the SF Giants and many players and staff were invited to the grand opening of the SF location. We were encouraged to drive to the front for photos on the red carpet and I was accompanied by a couple of rookies who didn’t have a car.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I liked the first book a lot but on the second the theme was that violence and trauma were the only ways to grow and I really REALLY disliked it. It has ties to the melodrama porn and the eternal unhappiness of for example the Robin Hobb books, which are almost a parody.

I appreciated the books more than I enjoyed them. She crafted a detailed world, and it’s a pretty unique premise for a fantasy trilogy, but it’s so friggin’ grim! Like many a work of modern fantasy, it’s full of shitty characters doing shitty things to one another; unfortunately Game of Thrones was such a success that…

I expected to at least like her books, after hearing so much praise for them for so long, but I read the first one and it was just not for me. I disliked how she withheld information, even sometimes from the mind of the point-of-view character we were following as though this person wouldn’t immediately think of the…

So this time, Barsanti’s level of snark is... snarky headline paraphrasing snark from noted irate person Russel Crowe, but he [Barsanti] actually agrees with, and is validating, said snark? Crikey, couldn’t we just say nice things about the 2003 film, and belay the snark entirely for once?

Correct me if I am wrong but it seems Master and Commander has always been well regarded on AV Club save for those that complained “not enough women” or “their teeth wouldn’t be so white” or my favorite “it was suppose to be a 24 gun frigate but I only counted 22".

it’s somewhat sobering to realize how much sheer crap that is nearly forgotten and unread today won - and what didn’t.

Washington was like that on the set of Training Day as well, allegedly. Sadly not surprised.

Bronson Pinchot talked about it on this very site, in Random Roles.

Agree.  I’m L&O Original Recipe all the way.  I tried SVU for a couple of years but it was just too much.  Just give me the law and the order, thanks.  I also enjoyed the briefly run Trial By Jury, but that was due to my in-my-head love affair with Kirk Acevedo, mainly.

We really doing this? Really? I mean we have Texas trying to take away the right to vote for anyone that isn’t white, actually seasons their food and can clap on the 2 & 4 and this is what you’re concerned with? I am all for multi-tasking but I am also for priorities and this ain’t it. Unless you have footage of her…

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…

That’s why I wish there was some more character development involving the Ross family. I know it’s mainly about Mare but the impact of what happened is lessened somewhat by not knowing much about the Ross family. They use a couple of signifiers that he’s kind of an idiot screw up (he wears an American flag baseball…

The biggest contrivance that I can’t square is, if Billy and John both know who really killed Erin, and if the whole point was to frame Billy for the murder, what the hell was the point of John getting Billy to say to him that he killed Erin?  It made no sense, because John didn’t need to hear it, because he knew it…

The whole diary/Jess-Dylan thing, if I’ve parsed it correctly, runs thus:

I dunno. Your argument seems to put a bit of “smart pornstar” pressure on the tiddy streamers.
