I like the *idea* of new bosses, I just thought it was poorly executed. Kathy Bates was a complete whack-a-doo character. James Spader was the kind of boss that people would actively avoid, not go to his basement pool party (the last episode I watched live, incidentally, before giving up on the show). Both of them…

Pass, for the following reasons:

I never really thought about it but I always attributed my disinterest in Community due to the increasing surrealism of the episodes. You bring up a good point though, that Pierce went from flawed mentor to actual asshole worthy of scorn and I did not really want to hate someone on Community. To a lesser extent, they…

Rehashing this whole thing is boring at this point. Chevy Chase is an asshole with a big ego and particular sense of dated humor who is difficult to work with. Learning that “dick actor viewed network tv show as a paycheck, not personal treasure that some fans saw it as” is not news.

Interestingly, Dookie was one of the first CDs I got.

Your description of the album, from what I remember, is fitting so well done. And I agree - maybe if Navarro had stuck around they would have gelled. I was excited because I liked Jane’s Addiction and thought adding Navarro would be a slam dunk - turned out the whole was not greater than the sum of its parts.

I had to read the article twice because I figured I *must* have misunderstood it the first time through. But no, I was right and this is fucking crazy.

As a young teen, I bought One Hot Minute because I liked RHCP but did not own any of their albums. I saw it on a slight discount ($12.99 or something) soon after release and decided to jump in blind. I feel awful wasting my parents money; I am not sure I have listened to anything other than Aeroplane more than once,…

Yeesh, I didn’t know that.

Thank you. I heard about those incidents much after I stopped watching, so I am sure I read about them on some news site and then they drifted out of my mind.

I was in high school when Survivor aired and the first two seasons at least were appointment television for the whole family. When Sue gave that speech about snakes and rats, I remember thinking that would show up on “wildest TV moments” lists forever. I was wrong there, but at the time it was just a graphic admission…

I enjoyed Boy Meets World as a kid, in part because it did a solid job of slyly addressing “real world issues” for kids, as opposed to something like Saved by the Bell which was 99% fluff. That said, BMW is kind of like Hocus Pocus in that it wasn’t *especially* good, but it was decent at a time when there were not a…

I don’t have super strong opinions on Lizzo, but this is all pretty disappointing.

One thing that saddened me about AoS is you could tell the level of enthusiasm from the studio behind it wane. I imagine that in S1, the producers would call Whedon, Marvel, or ABC with some kind of request/question and there was an immediate, enthusiastic response. By S3, Whedon was out but Marvel or ABC would get…

SW absolutely lost it over TFA and TLJ with opinions I don’t care to re-hash. But by the time RotS came out, I think everyone was kind of collectively over it. It was awful, everyone knew it was awful. People sending Kelly Marie Tran shitty messages after TLJ were not resuming those attacks because of RotS, nor were…

“If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”

I can’t imagine being such a ghoul that an attempted coup gets you horny.

And to be clear, I fully support the lawsuit and I am likewise disappointed that the judgment did not get Starbucks for fraud as well.
