The pilot was a little awkward and suffered a bit of cliché, but I thought the second episode was a cracking good time. Based on the premise, I thought the show would be dealing mostly with political themes - your standard democracy vs. authoritarianism setup. But I’m pleasantly surprised that the show seems to have…

Maria Bamford is a treasure & this show is very interesting, its world is very surreal and fun. Her pug Bert who speaks with the voice of Werner Herzog is obviously the standout character.

Savino isn’t quite a Harvey Weinstein-level figure, but it’s fucked up what a long, prominent career he’s managed to have in cartoons while getting away with this bullshit. He got his first job in the industry in the early 90's and he’s worked steadily since, on over a dozen different series including some really…

I know, right? All these people coming up with socially appropriate and thoughtful ideas to genuinely take on a horrific, rotten aspect of our society is really taking away the snark resources here. But fine, I suppose an entire gender being able to feel at peace being alone with members of the other gender is worth…

I was going to make a snarky comment about how her solution is to fire Lord and Miller for improvising, but this actually sounds like a really good idea. So, maybe we should focus on that.

“There are worse horror stories, too; people are reporting fights breaking out, lines blocking traffic...” people driving for 40 minutes and then spending an hour in line...

Is it weird that the MRAs are still desperately clinging to a term that originated with two transwomen?

Used to be ABC Family. Basically only known for Pretty Little Liars.

Yay!!!

As someone who weighs less than a slice of bread, this film always spoke to me.

I miss the simple pleasure of downvoting and blocking them.

I didn’t consider A Beautiful Day depressing, ultimately, but it DOES get rather bleak at times... But World of Tomorrow, while certainly not free of serious, concerning thoughts, is ultimately questioning in a curious rather than a desperate manner. And it, as most of Hertzfeldt’s films, has a weird charm and humor…

I haven’t seen Beautiful Day, but World of Tomorrow is great. There are moments when it could get extremely bleak, but the film always remains optimistic - largely thanks to the presence of the young girl protagonist.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this asshole?

I realize Kinja can make it difficult to follow the flow of conversation, but I was quite clearly bringing up clitorodectomies in response to a claim that only men in Victorian England were persecuted for being gay. If Victorian persecution of queer people  is irrelevant to the argument, bring it up with the dude who…

I’ve always been of the opinion that there’s no such thing as a “timeless movie” at all. A movie is always, to an extent, a product of its time, whether it’s in the way it portrays relationships, or what people found funny, or its language. Even stuff like how old sci-fi movies portray things in the far-flung future…

Part of the genius of Mad Men was that it initially depicted Don’s womanizing as something glamorous and enviable, then over time began to depict that behavior as isolating and pathetic. You initially see Don as the ultimate capitalistic/patriarchal power fantasy, but over time come to see him as a desperate, hollow…

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

Yeah I think she’s about as far from wooden as you can get. She’s a pretty terrific actress. At least, I think so.
