I don't know you, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that I love your username and I laugh every time I see it.

"teeth water" would be "aguadiente".

You can have extremes of emotion in a scene without treacly sentimentality. It's not like two choices of "sentimental" vs. "stoic".

As someone who's a fan of both zombie movies and a lot of Korean flicks, I completely agree. In South Korea this was pretty much blockbuster/popcorn fare, right down to the requisite pop-idol cameo (Sohee). I can only hazard a guess that people are going apeshit over on this side of the pond because it's foreign.

I wonder if Lena Dunham's "clueless privileged girl" persona often gets into fights with Clint Eastwood's imaginary friend.

But many POVs I've seen spring up now are more of "meh, I got rid of a zygote. Who wants pizza?"

I read a conspiracy theory today that this is all part of a years-long Republican performance art piece.

I took the sentence as a more general dig at Hollywood casting, not just about Passengers casting. Let's be real, the "ideal Hollywood couple" is cast as young, straight, and white 95% of the time.

Counterpoint: "Lawrence can act circles around Pratt" does not equal "Lawrence is our own Great American Actress".

Swinton comes across old-fashioned and more than a little tone deaf to the issues, but at least she's willing to reach out to someone who's had a long history of activism about the issue of representation. And she's also willing to say directly, "I'm here to listen." She didn't have to do that at all, and after…

She seemed so general that it came off as less "let me grasp the tone from a rep who connects to a large group" and more "Cho, that sure sounds Asian!"

I just think the fact that Swindon emailed a random Asian she's heard around town really speaks bad on Hollywood.

No Moonlight? I've heard nothing but rave reviews…

I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Certainly not as good as Studio Ghibli's best, but it has its own voice and atmosphere which make it memorable. I actually found the beginning surprisingly dark until we got into the action.

Rachel Dratch is one of those comedians where you go, "ugh, I love her, so much wasted potential, she should be so famous," but then when you think about it some more you go "actually, nah that's about right."

How does one "subtly slam"? Did Obama take a nice shower in dry water afterwards?

I hear AMC has optioned the rights to "The Mad Men of the 1960s (BC)."

It's a Miscavige of justice all around

I agree with you in general, but the situation doesn't really apply for this game. From what I gather, FFXV is fairly self-contained and the anime series is basically extra world building for the interested fan. Square Enix has always been good at giving complete, self-contained little packages for the FF series.

Part of the issue is that the modern incarnation of "method acting"— that extreme commitment to the role that bleeds over into real life when the cameras stop rolling— requires throwing around a bit of star power. Furthermore, at a certain level it becomes inconvenient for the filming crew to work around it and even…
