And I definitely would have marched with MLK because he's, like, my personal hero.

That, and thinkpiece writers salivating at the chance to use the phrase "terrifyingly relevant."

I predict that the main audience for this show won't be racists, it'll be people who flatter themselves that they would have been on the right side of history and want to endulge in abolitionist fantasies because dealing with modern racism is boring and hard. It's a white savior wankfest.

Is Natalie Portman all that good an actress? She was good in the Professional, fine in Garden State, and I don't hold the Star Wars prequels against anyone. I haven't seen Black Swan, but I also can't think of anything I've seen her in that made me think "wow, she's got the goods." Except maybe the Professional…

What a Wookiee!

Also, it's nice to have TV Club Classic back.

Rory was also late for a big test at Chilton in the first season, so it's not like she hasn't flaked out before.

Enhance. Enhance.

I hate the History Channel. I love history, and was really excited when it launched. And then it instantly turned into nonstop combinations of Nazis/Bible/Ancient Aliens. I hate it because it broke my heart.

Fuck yeah, that wide.

It's a middling sitcom that has profanity.

It was never as good as the first season, but it was still pulpy fun. Unless it got an extra season that I didn't watch, I thought it ended with a cliffhanger. I may need to look back into it.

Wash it down with a cold glass of delicious malk.

Maybe a lot of confused parents will take their kids thinking it's a sequel to Baby Boss.

I had a wild boar & blended mushroom burger recently that the waiter swore would not taste like mushroom. I don't like mushrooms, and it tasted fine and unmushroomlike. So I'm tentatively fine with this move. My concern would be if mushrooms are cheaper than beef, and the ratio starts tilting until fast food…

Ha! I'm surprised some of these didn't show up on ClickHole.

He was pretty entertaining as a semi-retired serial killer in Mr. Brooks, though William Hurt as his evil imaginary friend was better. Also, a not terrible Dane Cook.

Why not just watch the interview if you are going to write about it, instead of just summarizing an Entertainment Weekly article?

The Xtacles cartoon? They had a bit about a villain named Rapier Ape (named after the sword) that they misread as rapey-er.

I think Flaked is fine. Lowkey, low stakes, amusing show about a seriel manipulator. Not great, but fine, and probably an order of magnitude cheaper than Sense8. From what I recall, the reviews of Flaked here seemed to completely misread the show, too, and think it was celebrating Chip or something.
