He’s still going for a sexy vampire thing at age 51. The problem is, vampires don’t age.

The show basically has two tricks up its sleeve:

1. Is XXXX a host or a human?

I’ve never understood his motivation either — why is he always helping the robots over the humans? Sometimes they made it seem like cowardly self-preservation, but his arc was all leading up to a fairly unearned and unnecessary (why didn’t he just turn himself in?) sacrifice scene, so I’m not sure what to think.

Both articles are fairly representing Lynch. Anything less than total revulsion at every daily Trump atrocity is simply not good enough.

They’d be in the running if Axl had released more than one album since 1993.  This list is all about artists that faded away rather than burning out.

This is going to run for 20 years and have several spinoffs, and TV historians will eventually come to see Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire as ahead of its time.

I always thought the “I’m a proud father of little girls!” defense of misogyny was bullshit, and that was only confirmed when I became the father of a little girl. There’s no switch that flips off in your head and absolves you of any ill thoughts and deeds towards women — you just have a little girl. All it means is…

But she just doesn’t give a great performance. Her line readings are flat and she isn’t very emotive considering all the crazy vampire stuff she’s supposedly encountering for the first time. It does make the movie worse, because she’s the audience POV character, and when she stares blankly upon finding out that the…

I seriously think the constitutional qualifications should be expanded so that you can’t run for president unless you’ve served at least eight years in government at the state or federal level. It would seriously cut down on these vanity campaigns if someone like Trump (or Mark Cuban or Zuckerberg) actually had to go…

The funny thing is that Trump has now been forced to confront the complexity of what he’s talking about for three full years, and he’s yet to give any indication that he thinks there’s more than an inch there. And it does not matter.

Lots of people get cheated on and don’t kill themseves. If this sequence of events is what happened — if Bourdain found out Argento was cheating on him and then killed himself a couple days later — even then his death wouldn’t be her fault. In fact, lots of emotionally abusive relationships revolve around suicidal…

So this movie ignores Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, which itself ignored all of the sequels?

The current regime is merely the result of decades-long trends that created our toxic environment. The entire West has been politically incapable of solving the problems of post-industrialization and we’re seeing it everywhere. That kind of failure produces results like Trump, but it also produces Italy’s Five Star…

There clearly aren’t any phone books in the Star Wars universe, because otherwise Darth Vader would have just looked up the name “Skywalker” on his home planet at some point over those 20 years. Obi Wan / Ben found the perfect place to hide in plain sight.

And this type of attitude is exactly why I don’t invite vegetarians or vegans to my BBQs.

I’m not sure even Peter Jackson remembers that he produced a Tintin movie in 2011.

Yes Truman isn’t really a reality TV star in the sense that he isn’t knowingly degrading himself for fame. But the movie did predict how reality TV would degrade us, the audience, and it deserves credit for that.

I’m a straight guy who recently lost about 60 lbs. and I completely agree with your post. As an overweight man, I didn’t experience much direct fat shaming to my face, and I had less difficulty dating than a similarly overweight woman probably would have. But after losing the weight (mostly for health reasons), I…

This show also has a pretty unique issue where the premise makes it impossible to ever definitively write an actor out. Even if Ed Harris personally sets off a nuke with his teeth, you just know there’s going to be an episode where they download his consciousness into a host’s body.

Their reluctance to write out name actors like Ed Harris and Tessa Thompson is becoming an issue, given that every human vs. host confrontation is now a gun standoff. Whenever the person holding the gun starts taking and bargaining too much, we know a strike team is about to ride in from offscreen.
