MPB reminds me of MBP, every time i see someone use that acronym I think they are talking about a macbook pro.

I know it’s an echo chamber here, and in the last couple of weeks there have been four or five blogs about how problematic Rick and Morty fans are, but I mean, really? You’re a Rick and Morty fan, right? You don’t hate females, right? None of the responses to your comment are attacking women. I just went to the Reddit…

If I never have to hear a meeseeks talk again I’ll be very happy

Those two characters are fascinating to me, because Diane and Mr. PB both seem like terrible people in very veiled and hard-to-nail-down ways. His near-total ingenuousness and her emotional vulnerability are traits that we associate with sympathetic fictional characters ... but in practice, they’re poisonous to the…

Yes. Once you rid yourself of the spontaneous, ingrained need to classify the main protagonist in any TV show as the good guy, then you could see that Sam was being a toad to a pretty crappy guy. It was a relationship that wasn’t meant to be, and it ended in a spectacular and entertaining way. No one was ‘right’,…

I found this episode utterly heartbreaking and beautifully acted and directed.

I didn’t think he was that bad - we hardly got any sense of him at all, really. Her whole demeanour felt like a different character, to me. She was much more like Adlon’s character in Louie. But then this did feel like hitting on a prime Louis CK trope to me - men need to suck it up, etc. Basically it’s low…

She was so awful in the bar and the parking lot, but the guy was a ‘nice guy’ so I guess to the reviewer it’s ok? Also this guy was the least ‘nice guy’ like nice guy ive ever seen. Calling him a “nice guy” hardly even makes sense. She was kind of a monster.

I think that was just a reference to a mostly white population

My take on why she’s having sex with Fedora: Sam Fox has two primary modes:

At first I was totally on her side and the guy seemed so lame, but then she was awful in the bar, and when I watched that scene where she’s going off on him in the parking lot and I was like well, duh, you’ve been having sex with a guy you don’t like for three weeks and now you’re mad that he’s confused? I didn’t…

Yeah, it was hard to watch. He was clueless, but her contention that she was nice because she played along for 3 weeks is ridiculous. I watched because I read the review today and thought it sounded like an interesting look at the nature of this sort of thing. In my earlier dating days I was guilty of both sides of…

It’s sweet if that was her thing, but they’ve been together for years and no: this is not her thing. This was the ball room of Season 4: sweet, but proof that he does not listen or try to delve deep. Sweet and thoughtful would’ve been to present her with a blank room and admitting that he wants their new house to be…

“It’s just a shame that a genuinely nice action is what set her off.”

Am I the only one who thinks that cantaloupe, a.k.a. muskmelon, a.k.a. mushmelon, is the worst part of a fruit bowl? It goes bad SO quickly, and honeydew has the saving grace of being to charcuterie what celery is to chicken wings.

I meant to follow up on Mr. PB’s line about being five fights away from another divorce in an earlier season, but failed to keep an accurate tally. Anyone else here have the hard data?

Alright, I’ve been dying to bring this up here since I spent way too long researching this yesterday after my rewatch of the series.

Ah, but I like honeydew!

what kind of movie is beauty and the beast in their world? If it’s human gets turned into animal, that feels racist (imagine a movie where a white guy is turned black and must find love to be white again). Or is the beast some kind of creature that doesn’t exist as an animal.
