A reminder that Elisabeth Moss is a member of Scientology and that the organization has allegedly* forced many of its members to have abortions.

Design matters. There are fewer comments because Kinja commenting lends itself to short-form threads and hate posting, as seen by the influx of users from the other sites.

I asked this question over on AV Club After Dark and it basically has to do with the Kinja layout, both with the site and the comments. Bluntly, the site is still a mess even with these improvements. Kinja’s page layout is inferior to Disqus and the chronological ordering of the articles makes it difficult for those…

That’s a good point. Bojack is being nice because it does no harm, and because being cruel would do no good. It’s time to try and move past everything. The time to tell her to what a horrible person she is was probably decades ago, if ever.

That was a very great episode. Everything came together perfectly and I don’t see a better way it could’ve been done. Can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said.

My girlfriend, whose mom is pretty similar to Beatrice, saw that moment as less “Bojack being kind to his mother in her final days,” and more “Bojack caving in and performing for his mother thus fulfilling the role she has assigned him.” It’s an interesting take.

Also, Butterscotch’s abuse of BoJack is very specifically rooted in his own resentment at taking the ‘easy’ route of an office job from his father in law, instead of the working class intellectual he wanted to be.

The screaming and crying from small Bea when her doll was thrown into the fire was too much (,man!) for me.

The season had been teasing a grander view at Bea’s backstory for a while, and it was genuinely moving to see it all play out here, albeit through the warped lens of her addled mind. By the end of the episode, I felt like I understood the decisions Bea had made, the perfectly relatable reasons she’d made the mistakes…

Location, cast, story, funding—and still... THUD.

They need a taste of a knuckle sandwich.

“Can you taste the ice cream, Mom?” “Oh Bojack. It’s so.. delicious”. I was prepared for this episode to end with Bojack saying or doing something awful to his mother, because that’s what Bojack always does, but for him to show kindness? To put his lifetime of justified grievances with his mother behind him to give a…

It feels weird to watch an episode of television thinking, “I’ll be really disappointed if this doesn’t crush my soul” - but knowing that this was episode 11, I was definitely thinking it.

Yes, you are absolutely correct—all those earlier directed films you listed were good, though not amazing, they were all well directed. Makes me even more perplexed about everything he has directed since!

Raising Arizona is the one that I think still doesn’t quite get the credit it deserves. They made a live-action Looney Tunes cartoon, complete with a Wile E Coyote homage in the lead role.

I don’t want Fop, goddammit, I’m a Dapper Dan man!

Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity...two weeks from everywhere.

DO NOT SEEK THE TRAY-ZURE

O Brother Where Art Thou isn’t their most substantial movie, but it’s among their most fun for sure. In my book, that counts for something.
