More than some.

Tarantino is staunchly anti-retirbution. That's the whole point of Basterds.

You shall cease referring to Buckingham Palace at once.

I don't think they have a formula or anything. And come on, the review clearly isn't giving points for diversity or anything so silly. Fact is, cop dramas, about any gender or colour of detective are pretty played out so there's a bit of burn out to overcome

Apologies, i probably inferred incorrectly there. It certainly was the best comeback his could have given.

"Also, you should never forget that you called someone a judgmental asswipe for asking a question about a cartoon."

Most people truly can't tell the difference. That's not a fault of the ideas.

No it was perfect as it's far more emasculating for the slapee.

Because of the reverence placed on physicality by both non-alphas and non-smart-alphas. Cohle makes them all betas by comparison.

Agreed.

Not to take away from your very good points about how relapsing can effect people in different ways the majority of people don't think about and that Adam could have been doing that, but I think we need to look at what happens just before he has the drink at the party with Natalia and starts in with the degrading sex…

But the point of it when done on say Kings of Queens etc is that it's a total fantasy. They aren't aiming for realism. The Hannah/handsome doctor ep was pointing out how things like that do work in real life i,e hot but older insecure guy and young but screwed up woman.

" "oh, you suck just as bad as everyone else, Natalia!""

Most guys would call Adam on his shit in about 5 seconds. Adam hangs out with insecure people who don't recognise he's created a weird moral code that allows him to do anything he likes while simultaneously roughly judging other's.
What makes him a great character is that Dunham gives us glimpses into why he's like…

It wasn't against her wishes, she said not on her dress so he removed it. Don't get me wrong, Adam likes kinky sex and needs to be with someone who is into it but he didn't force Natalia to do anything.

I disagree, I may have listed the very cream of the crop but there's tonnes more - "Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently." Burns' Nixon impression, Homer's Sipowicz worship, "Fill this up with petroleum distillate and revulcanise the tyres"

A Fish Called Selma is a stone cold classic. As is Radioactive Man ("My eyes! The goggles do nothing,"), Mother Simpson, Scenes From the Class struggle (fuck the haters, anything with a genuine Panaphonics, Su-zin and "Her idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with…

Oh so it causes penis envy too. Hmm, that I didn't know

Still an amateur compared to you who achieved that over a thousand words ago and just kept on going with it.

It doesn't make you psychic.
