Their pieces on chains and franchises are what seem to get the engagement unfortunately. 

What’s the text size like or is there a size option in settings? 

I never watched it as I have a limit on how much “terrible white people” media I can take, but realised recently that this is probably why people suddenly seem to have learned how to spell and say “Siobhan”, which is nice. 

The one thing I’ll say for Succession is at least people know how to spell and pronounce “Siobhan” now. 

I volunteer with an animal rescue/adoption org and they made the right call here by using the donated funds slightly differently than intended.

She’s been putting up with this nonsense ever since “Heavenly Creatures”. People couldn’t believe that someone who didn’t already look like a typical starlet (like costar Kate Winslet) was a real actress with real talent. They acted like Peter Jackson just found a legit teenage sociopath in some little New Zealand

The extras are the big thing for me. Until streaming figures out how to include them I’ll never totally give up discs. Seriously, commentaries are just another audio track, why can’t they be added to streams for people who’ll pay? 

“She has never given a shit about how she looks”.

Google it… 

The last “Ugly Laws” in America were only repealed in the 1970s….

I always explain to my white friends when there’s going to be soju that you do NOT neck it by the bottle, you shoot it in rounds with the group. And yes the fruit flavoured ones taste innocent BUT THEY ARE NOT. 

The biggest surprise of TLOU discourse for me has been how many people took Joel’s Atkins diet line at face value… 

One of the reasons it worked for me was that if it went Tess then Bill and Frank and then two more upcoming characters all being portrayed as per the game, that’s too much repetition of “person gets infected, self-termination and/or termination/suicide ensues” for an episodic TV show.

Fuck, that one too. God that movie’s a lot. 

When a child actor is bad in a movie they’re the least culpable person involved responsible for it, IMHO. Before them comes everybody who gave the go ahead for casting that child and especially the director for not being able to, well, direct a better performance out of them.

Glad to hear that about De Niro. He’s the attacker in one of the most upsetting rape scenes I’ve ever seen (“Once Upon A Time In America”) and it could have been a heinous experience for costar Elizabeth McGovern if she was having to do it with an actor who wasn’t considerate and respectful. 

Bring the Almond M&Ms back to Australia. :( 

Just watched the whole thing, my mouth literally open for a lot of it. One poor bastard “invested” HALF A MILLION AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS into this bullshit. 

This was such a good idea I actually said aloud “Why didn’t they do it like this the first time?” 

You guys had a turkey dinner barely a month ago. You must all be all turkeyed out, surely.
