This article really ends up not saying anything by the end. “Don’t cast big-name celebrity voice actors because they don’t have what it takes, except for the ones who are good at voice acting, or the times when it turns out they actually did a good job”. The actual thesis is completely undermined by the end of the…

I don’t advocate for gatekeeping and if someone really wants to just watch the last episode of a series because that’s how they enjoy it then I won’t yuck their yum, but I do dislike that someone is influencing others to join them in doing that, especially in advance of trying it. I think that it will actively detract…

That’s true, but I think it was also taken to another level with streaming. CDs *allowed* for more bloated albums, but streaming actively encourages it. I do actually think this one in particular is guilty of being a bit overly long. There’s some decent songs on there but it feels like a lot of not particularly…

That’s not really the point. Sports fans have earned “sports ball” jokes too. It’s just that a jab that was once kind of clever and funny is now just stale and basic. So many people with nothing to add have made the same joke so that it that it’s now just a cliché.

I think it’s less about the hearing aids and more about the fact that he went and lost them down the back of the couch. Added to the earlier scenes of Steve getting confused at the market and shouting loudly and angrily like a moron in front of her cool college professor (first time he’s appeared on screen in weeks…

Steve is happy eating ice cream and watching TV. Even though he clearly would like to have sex more often (as indicated in the one scene where Miranda attempts to initiate and he’s into it), he’s content even without it. He doesn’t know she’s unhappy because in true SATC-expanded-universe fashion, the last person any…

It does feel very disjointed. In this episode, there were two scenes of Carrie meeting her publisher almost back-to-back, with her not appearing in anything in between to have the plot move along. It made it feel like the two meetings must have occurred before and after lunch or something, but as the scene went on it…

I remember thinking in this episode that the amount of clothes she owns is really closer to hoarding than any kind of quirky personality or a testament to just being really into fashion.

I thought her reaction was a bit ridiculous tbh. If it was that important to her, you’d think she’d have talked about it at some point over the several weeks they were together. She was the one who initiated the first encounter, with Miranda never even hinting anything close to having been in an open marraige, and…

I personally thought that the most ridiculous part was her ex-boyfriend agreeing to just give her his own apartment without question as part of the breakup.

Rogan might say stuff like that, but it doesn’t mean the message doesn’t still sink in to a lot of people. He’s got millions of fans, and for the most part, even the ones who might not think he’s that smart at least generally think of him as very genuine and honest, and that his opinions have at least some merit.

Posthumous Oscars are rare because posthumous nominations are rare. It’s not that often that an actor puts in an Oscar-level performance in a film and then dies before award season, but once they have been nominated, a win is not particularly unlikely. I don’t buy that this is an apology for not giving him an award…

I’ve only watched one episode of this but it really is an extraordinarily American depiction of Paris (and by extension, France), written by people who you have to assume have never actually been there (or if they did, went in a way similar to Owen Wilson’s obnoxious wife and in-laws in Midnight In Paris). There seems…

Half of these are just diagreements about how to solve the problem, not that the problem doesn’t exist, so I don’t really get what the point is of showing that there is a problem.

They make a big point in the movie of emphasizing how super buff he is, but he seriously isn’t. Any bog-standard amateur Instagram fitness influencer is bigger than this guy. Watching the film, I coulnd’t understand why they couldn’t have just cast one of them to play the part instead.

A C- is way, way too kind to this complete dog turd of a movie. This is an easy F. Not in any way an improvement on the previous film and it’s bizarrely lengthy, which makes it arguably worse. Even enjoying it ironically takes a substantial amount of effort.

So just to confirm, Jeremy Irons “controversial” statement on abortion that he's supposed to apologise for was not even that he is personally opposed to it, just that he thinks other people are allowed to be opposed to it? 

Well yeah, I mean it wasn’t really until 19th century medicine and embryology that people even started to really know how reproduction worked, and that human development is basically a continuous process from implantation to dying of old age. Prior to this medical research, most people, even doctors, thought humans wer…
