It's such a weird design too, my brother has a ton at his house and unless they're in their original packaging I can almost never tell who they're meant to be.

One of Push's best songs not about selling cocaine

I had never even considered that angle, that's a very good point.

Marathoning RPDR is so painful, because all of the obnoxious editing tics and the production machinations (the villain edit, the sympathy edit) become so incredibly obvious (I couldn't deal with the solid fifteen minutes of every episode devoted to "up next…" segments with decoy reaction shots to make you think the…

Yeah I feel like Lil Yachty is definitively not AV Club's speed.

Doinel is such a great example of director-actor synergy and those movies are always a delight to revisit. Occasionally I throw one on just intending it to be background to whatever I'm doing (or if I can't sleep) but I always end up watching it through. "Emotionally fulfilling" is a good way of putting it. I think…

Finished my second rewatch of The Get Down, which continues to grow on me. I watched with closed captions this time because I was watching with a family member with hearing difficulties and I really appreciated a lot of intricacies in the soundtrack that I missed watching through the first time. Case in point:…

I feel like rap has the dual problem of not having a retirement plan and being obsessed with its own origins. It leaves a genre that doesn't know what to do with its old greats who were extremely influential but definitely peaked and then didn't die, like Nas, or its young ones who are extremely talented but aren't…

I've always been convinced that this is why Wayne got into drugs too. He talked back in the day about how everyone was always drinking around him and pressuring him to drink but he didn't like drinking because it made him feel sick and he preferred codeine for that reason, which makes it sound like he started early.

Sasuke is such a good watch and the veteran competitors are so loveable, so even when there is B roll it doesn't grate. Kinniku Banzuke, the show Sasuke spun off from, is also incredible. Complete the Ninja Warrior course - on a pogo stick

Keep telling yourself that, and you will feel good while you continue to distance yourself from your false concept of what a rapist is, and who rapes people and under what circumstances and how and why.

Back at you.

"It's something that happens without verbal cues" is a massive cop-out. People communicate non-consent to all kinds of things non-verbally all the time, and people correctly interpret those non-verbal cues as non-consent. Children know when they want something from their parents and the answer is going to be "no"…

This is why I have a really big issue when people push the line that it's totally the norm, totally "human nature," etc etc, for people to communicate sexual consent exclusively non-verbally, because it reinforces the idea that a lack of verbal non-consent can (or should) be interpreted as consent. When in reality…

Same, here. I'm sorry you went through that.

"Blames sex for their rapes" is a really good way of wording this, actually. I couldn't put my finger on what exactly about that interview bothered me, but I think that's pretty much it.

Given how outspoken Gabrielle Union has been about the fact that she's a rape survivor, I really can't imagine how it would feel to find out that your role of a rape victim was written for you by two guys who conspired to rape somebody. That's… a lot. And it puts her in an extremely difficult position personally as a…

It had been a couple years (09) but it was still sad. The first time Heath came on screen there was a sort of deep silence for a couple moments where clearly nobody knew what to say that was pretty painful. It's a really good commentary though.

The cast discussed this in the 10th anniversary edition Blu-Ray commentary track - the infamous "Tacoma aroma". Actual phenomenon?
