Lindelof was so smart in the wake of Lost to have a show where the whole point is that there isn’t, and never will be, an explanation. I love how it critically and sympathetically examined our need for stories to frame and accept loss. In the end, it doesn’t matter if Nora’s story about her lost family is true, what…

It is surprising they want to work. Trouble seems to follow them everywhere.

I feel so bad for Charlyne Yi. She seems to get abused on every project she works on.

He said he was unhappy at the beginning and by the time the film was released, he was full on board with it. Like, he said this a lot.

I feel you but AV Club is really not the place for takes on hip hop that hasn’t crossed over into the mainstream. They barely do ANY music coverage nowadays.

A good reminder.

Alternate headline:

yeah black adam is for slightly older kids.

This is a tremendously bad take, sorry.

Stop trying to make slideshows happen. 

For context, if anyone missed it, this quote is from Pedro Almodóvar’s Oscars diary, it’s on IndieWire and it’s a fun read!

The saddest thing about the difficulty discourse regarding From games is that it inevitably buries everything beautiful about them. They are some of the most melancholic, beautiful, intricately designed and yes, hopeful games out there. Fuck the fandom and the “git gud” crowd for turning the challenge into a shitty…
