Horror is a broad genre, to the point that a "scary" movie isn't equivalent to a horror movie, but is merely a subset of it. Movies that are gross or uncomfortable (like say, A Serbian Film—- which kinda sucks as a movie anyway—- and the much better Audition) are not meant to be "scary", but suspenseful and…

Eh, I'd feel dirtier if every interview with a celebrity was followed by a good rating of their latest gig. That would look too much like paying for good reviews.

It definitely depends on the style of the horror game and whether the point of view is 'more stick'— if you lose you have to replay a sequence, which means you're missing out on progressing the story— or 'more carrot'— the game proceeds anyway, but the reward for playing well is a better ending, more backstory, etc.

There should be a support group for actors who look like other actors. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and/or Javier Bardem run the sessions, and Tom Hardy & Logan Marshall Green give out coffee.

That's my issue too. The zombies are kind of a not very interesting afterthought once you're in the "fortress" stage, especially if they're Romero-style zombies.

What is Mercury in retrograde?

More expensive than a line of coke and doesn't take the edge off nearly as well.

Obligatory "it can be two things". Feminist ≠ hero.

Witchcraft isn't entirely about feminism, but surely there were feminist aspects to it for many women who didn't have a lot of power/choices otherwise. In that sense it isn't a "20th century invention".

There's a healthy little community of "witches"/tarot card readers/New Age-y fortune tellers on Youtube, too. My impression of them is that they are (mostly but not all) women who have not a lot going on in their lives, so they invent this mysticism as a way of escaping it all. They are actually extremely similar to…

I like it! If poetry is one of her things then I get that.

Don't get me wrong, I get the joke and appreciate Yoko's sense of her humor (I also live for and highly recommend her weird twitter account).

You can think the show is supremely silly (like I do) and still get that some plot points are incredibly straightforward. Negan's motivations are practically boring in how well trod they are.

Uh oh, I think I know what someone's favorite show is!

Her?

A lot of people are watching just for Carol, Daryl, and Michonne, and I guess a few people for Rick. In other words, they have the strongest Gimple-made plot armor of all.

I feel like an observer in some grand social experiment to see if millions of people will regularly do something they despise just because they have the option.

I think one of the fundamental problems is that a realistic-ish post-apocalyptic zombie scenario doesn't really have an endpoint beyond "and then they were safe enough to rebuild society" or "and then they found a cure/killed all the zombies."

To be fair to the bad writing, that's people for you.

At first I thought she was a host in some narrative, but when they didn't reveal any other guests I was like "oh, she must be the guest then". I kind of like having to figure out in every scene who's who. It adds to the whole atmosphere.
