Isn't UKS bitching about PCness with the Play episode? It would bother me a lot less if the writers weren't digging their heels into the "no, this isn't racist, it's totally cool."

I don't think you have to be offended on someone's behalf to find the decision strange and alienating.

Katniss is actually pretty complacent at the start of THG. Most of the way through the first book, really. She hates the capitol but she is only really concerned with taking cars of her family. Gale is the one who talks about revolution.

I am crushing on Yusuke. Who isn't?

As soon as I finished Persona 5, I went to my husband (also a Persona fan but far behind my progress) and said "another gas station attendant." It's not quite that ludicrous, but it's a tradition for the real big boss to be somewhat nonsense.

I think the point is it's 1 woman and 20 dudes.

It's like you're trying to parody a Bernie Bro…

Wasn't it just FBI lady and Cary? I don't remember her having any other ongoing relationships. (She did sleep around with a fair amount of women IIRC, which is great, but not compelling relationship building).

Yes, but putting Chris Brown on a TV show does tell men that you can hit women and still continue to have a career. And it tells women that abusers will continue to get respect, no matter how clear the evidence of your abuse.

Why would we want people to think it matters who they decide to spend their lives with? It's not like who you marry/deciding not to partner makes a huge impact on your life.

Belle is a little stuck up, but the movie clearly isn't stockholm syndrome. She only starts to fall for him when he starts trying to be a better person.

Hot Topic actually has a lot of really cute Disney themed stuff. They have amazing bikinis too. I have an Ariel one and a Sailor Moon one. They're more cute than functional, but they're damn cute.

I know exactly what you mean. I also have a BFA in film and did some interning in TV. I'm not sure why so many creatives are difficult (perhaps it's the same in other fields? Perhaps it's simply that they are allowed to do it). Some people get away with it but there's generally no reason to eschew professionalism and…

Well, many artists *are* difficult and have massive egos and can't take criticism (source: am an indie author). A lot of people will put up with it for someone who has talent, money, sway, or a reputation for success. But the people who stick around and do well, for the most part, are people who work hard and don't…

Carrie is too cool for The AV Club.

Is "naming influential albums" a thing going around Facebook? I'm either too young or too old. I'm going with too young.

I'm glad you know people's feelings better than they do. I better go tell all my Potland friends who enjoy Portlandia that they're liars.

I'm still upset about Arrested Development shooting in Marina Del Rey instead of Orange County. It's all lies!!!

Nah, we just know how to laugh at ourselves.

Everyone I know likes in PDX it, though Portlandia has moved away from mocking Portland/hipsters in the last season or two. Which is probably good. It ran out of material. It's only the people who like to complain about Californians ruining Portland (where do they think transplants are going to come from? CA is the…
