The opposite is happening with growing regularity. Due to the growing importance of international sales spurred by emerging economies, Hollywood movies are being stripped of cultural signifiers to appeal to the broadest audiences possible.

Yes.

Most of the r/nosleep stories aren't particularly scary or well-written. Even the Penpals series that is often cited as the best is full of plot holes and dubious characterization. Most creepypasta isn't particularly unsettling unless you're fried from lack of sleep.

I just involuntarily shivered, I can hear the speculators hooting and screeching from miles away.

I agree with the comparison but would anyone seriously consider him part of the literature world?

I just rewatched Gattaca yesterday, and I actually enjoyed it this time.

60 Minute is my all time favorite as well.

So people on the internet took an innocuous article about a cake recipe and it quickly descended into name-calling and partisan political screeds? Sounds like every website that isn't heavily moderated to me.

The #1 thing wrong with Frozen is that it won't go away, so thanks for contributing to that.

David Simon has said after the fact that he regrets not having more women on the writing staff (though it should be noted he did have Kia Corthron and Joy Lusco, two women of color, on staff) to bring a more nuance female perspective to the show. Rhonda and Beadie never had much of an inner life, though one could…

Some of those kids looked like they were from the mid-'90s...

From the trailers it looked abysmal, like Seth was trying to make the Western installment of those Scary Movie spinoffs. It's hard to believe it's gotten this bad for him because while the first three seasons of Family Guy weren't great, they weren't bad per se.

Watching this almost makes me wish I was a fratty dudebro. Well, not almost, but kind of.

If five seasons of an HBO show are any indication, my city is DNR.

I'm surprised Priebus hasn't been axed after his poor performance in '12. Well, I'm not that surprised.

This was a great episode, taking a year off was great for the show. It's been fascinating to watch Louis evolve as a comedian over the years, his early appearances on Opie & Anthony are a world away from this.

People need to take a stroll through an art museum if they think "thick" white women are just taking their cues from J-Lo and Beyonce.

I recently rewatched the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law episode with the Jetsons crossover and it inspired similar thoughts about overly optimistic visions of the future.

I tuned into X-Play for years just because I enjoyed Adam and Morgan's rapport so much.

All the Mid-Atlantic Bros I've ever known have known how to sail (or at least if they didn't they never pretend to) and had loaded parents.
