Episode 1. If you are at all interested in Danny, the dancer, watch episode 1.

Don't feel too bad. I'm usually lost when the reviewer goes into the technicalities of camera work and staging. This episode was particularly egregious though, but it mainly stood out because this episode they tried to use more creative visual shots, like showing the dancers from behind so we can see the judges…

why do you say that about jaja? curious

to your point, having a nuanced understanding of history gives me a more sympathetic view of current world events and politics. It makes it easier to appreciate how far we've come without over inflating our egos (especially when it comes american exceptionalism). In addition, it also made me appreciate other subjects,…

same. the history channel saved history as a subject for me. it doesn't help at all the way we whitewash history so that it fits into a linear narrative safe for students pre-college. I'll never understand why we assume that before college students can't learn things like the fact that the founding fathers owned…

he did a long segment monologue on common core in season 2

Drive By was the song that made clear to me that Train is just making music that can be licensed to any company with enough money, for any campaign, and that everything else is a distant second.

This is going to sound really dark, fair warning. I was 12 when 9/11 happened, and I did not understand the magnitude of what had happened to my city. One of the only things I really remembered from that time, to me, was that music had died. Radio disc jockeys known for being quick tongued and high energy flatlined,…

perhaps. i never thought about it but i was inclined to read his comments optimistically because i want to believe that the showrunners understand their potential to push the boundaries of social convention for millions of viewers if they so wish. if any program should (and is able) to sell passion between gay lovers…

yeah. i think she and hailee had better solos than their all star numbers. Jaja also kinda suffered from dancing a solo right after her all star number that looked too similar to the one she'd just performed. the audience didn't have time to let her all star routine sink in and process the feedback she got before they…

gaby's winning, right?

like dumbledore and grindelwald

i'm a little surprised mm got a shout out since it generated so little discussion post release in the comments

maybe they'll get him for the next one if this does well, and they can afford him

it's also working on a much smaller budget than other fox comic movies, to say nothing of marvel's movies. deadpool movie has to pull off captain america: winter soldier level choreo through sheer ingenuity and spit.

definitely not. creativity shouldn't have to be reliant on pathos. except in cases of self defense, there is never any reason for a man to hit a woman or for a woman to hit a man.

i didn't even think of it before, but a gay or bisexual james bond makes so much sense. it would make my decade to see that done seriously by hollywood or some oversees production house. i'm getting wonderful flashbacks to captain jack from dr. who

see the kylie 18th birthday countdown that was so popular; for me, regardless of the fact that she wants to be seen as a sex symbol, there was something incredibly skeevy about the fact that guys were joking about hovering over their keyboards waiting to DM as soon as she turned 18. as if her birthright is skeevy…
