Seeing this stuff always makes me wonder how much if it is happening when people don't notice. I'm a fairly oblivious person when I'm, say, rushing through an airport to try to catch a flight, and I think most people are, too. Would most of you notice if someone was angling his phone in a weird way near you when…

Well, this puts a face on Sinead O'Connor's "There are men making more money off your naked body than you are" comments to Miley.

It's kind of nice to have a disease that disproportionately affects some groups of a certain socioeconomic status—and have those groups not be poor, non-white, and recently immigrated into the country.

Me: I need to hide a body.

I love that you've taught your kids to think for themselves. But you do not engage with your child, among 25 of his peers, for eight hours every day. You can very much hold fast to the idea that a child excessively quoting a commercial is simply part of the childhood experience—ah, those halcyon years of quoting…

At least when he's got actors/musicians/comedians on the air, I feel like he asks them all the same media-circut kind of questions—"How did you prepare for the role? Did [topic that the actor has already discussed, at length, in other interviews] affect you? Who are your influences?" TG asks much more interesting,…

It's weird, because she's demeaning women who do porn on the one hand—"it's a special kind of girl...usually somebody that's [sic] had a horrible childhood"—but then she's basically saying that she loves to watch porn, solo or with her significant other—"There are those girls who are very prissy and think that a guy’s…

Can anyone find a link to the Carl's Jr. ad that was in the movie? I've seen my fair share of ridiculous burger ads, but everyone is so appalled at this one that my morbid curiosity is killing me.

Sidenote: is Terry Gross retiring? Not only is she not getting the guests I want to hear from (why didn't she have this JGL one?! I would have enjoyed the shit out of hearing her take on this), but I hear Dave Davies' voice more than hers these days. And I despise Dave Davies.

I'm in love with Critique My Dick Pic now. Hilar. Needs more!

Spot-on. This is one of the interesting facets of having conversations about dating when everyone's faceless and anonymous.

This is so precisely a proportionate response for a shitty breakup. Not too over-the-line, not too obsessive, not too life-ruiningly cruel: just perfect.

Good point. If they just feel like they have a tool in their arsenal to help them out with something they feel self-conscious about, a lot of the issue might take care of itself.

I only just realized how a few friendships of mine are completely based off of guy-talk. This is the first time I've been single in a while, and girl's brunch was a slow and awkward realization that we have nothing to talk about when we're not micro-analyzing our relationships.

Holy shit, yes. Especially when the advice is just different iterations of "...so break up with him."

I don't know. I feel like they've given him overarching plotlines—Shelby, the babysitting job, the weird relationship with his insane boss—but none of them have really caught me. When there's amazing stuff happening with literally every character (including random throw-ins like Nadia, Mr. Fancyman, and…

She didn't blame the actor, but when asked why Schmidt and Nick have developed as much as they have, she credited the actors for bringing so many ideas to the table. That seems like a tacit suggestion that despite all the things writers have tried to give Winston—the pranks! the love for traditionally feminized…

I think Kate's saying there needs to be some coherence or intentionality to the character flaw. With The Mindy Project, there isn't.

From interviews with the writers, it seems like all Schmidt development happened purely because of Max Greenfield's chemistry with other actors and talent with improvisation. They really hadn't intended to make him progress in the way he has—it wasn't in the original show concept.

I saw an interview with the show-runner where she acknowledged that—that she feels like Winston's the character where they haven't yet found his groove. She didn't say so outright, but from the way she talked about how Schmidt and Nick's characters developed (from mostly actor/writer collaborations), it sounds like it…
