In general (not referring to American Gods because I haven’t seen it yet to comment), the majority of film and TV sex scenes are completely pointless, boring disruption of plot if you don’t get titillation out of them. At least Game of Thrones mixed them with the usually boring but necessary exposition lines so they…

You’re suggesting arts and entertainment are influenced by current events?

I find it interesting that most of the commenters here are wondering more about the ‘science’ behind the discovery of an afterlife in the movie, and less about the idea that millions would kill themselves as a result.

They’ll either go full white face to be ironic/social commentary (which I would love for the mouthbreathing asshole demographic) or just do a subtle nod to the comics by having the dark eye circles over her naturally beautiful skin tone.

This is what I say every super bowl but hand egg still goin’

It may be the Workd Religions professor in me but I don’t see mass suicides being a result of proof of the afterlife. A majority of people in the world already believe in the immortality of the soul.

Managed to be duller than Arrival.

Casting sorted.

I don’t get why people would be killing themselves due to a discovery of the afterlife. Being less afraid of the end, when it comes naturally, sure. But most of the world’s major religions consider suicide to be a pretty horrible thing. If you know for certain that something is waiting for you on the other side,…

You understood from reading the article that Newsnight is a British show, right? “Fortnight” is a word we use here as commonly as we use the word “month”. It’s a big old world out there - it’s worth remembering that not everybody in it talks exactly like you do, and that this is neither a remarkable nor a shocking…

If I die and my family wants to make money off my likeness, what do I care? I am dead. What use is money to me at that point?

He’s too busy working on his George Foreman grill equivalent for the outdoor set, The Fassbender Bass Finder. When that thing pops off, even Disney money will be goddamn peanuts.

Sorry, but this sounds pretty stupid.

Luke Cage was a little more consistent... in that it was pretty slow from beginning to end. It could definitely have benefitted from some cuts. And a different director. And a better script (especially the first half).

“I hate to be that person”

Good for you, I have two girls 17 and 14 and I never limited or controlled TV, computer, video games, tablet, or phone use, I did try to impress upon them the importance of doing other things, but alas they both hate sports, now they are straight A students and they are going to cost me a fortune in university, they…

Ok, I’ll be the other parent then. I don’t limit my kids screen time period. Why? Because I’ve found that they get bored after awhile. I’ll go into their room and they’ll have the TV on, something playing on the ipad, and they’re sitting there playing legos, ignoring both devices. It all balances itself out, all on…

McKay is in this?! That’s literally the only thing that interests me.

Yeah, re-watched Young Frankenstein recently, and the pacing is definitely dated.

790? Is that you?
