I also don't get why a cat burglar (I haven't seen the picture but isn't is possible she was just a cat, in an all black outfit?) would even be in particularly poor taste in that if she had committed that crime, she did not have to break in since she lived there. So people are offended she just dressed as any kind of…

I mean, they went with the short hand of "sexist" when it requires more explanation but are you denying that the Mignini represents a certain kind of old school Italian view of women, kind of through a Madonna/Whore prism? I don't think anyone was denying that the U.S. has their own issues (Hello, Trump) but that…

Ooh is that why Ben Gibbard adopted that parted in the middle 'do? I've always thought it was an interesting choice for a guy in his 40's but perhaps it's hiding some hair loss. Interesting. I do think that early on Rogaine is supposed to do something, but anything that grows back is going to go away if you stop using…

It's possible they will handle the topic well but it's hard to tell from the pilot, it feels very "tragic fat" and I'm just hoping that they move away from that.

I cried because I'm just a sensitive baby and I really thought Major Dad was great. But I was also laughing at myself whenever I cried (cos I cried at the twist, too) because it's all pretty manipulative but sometimes I like that in a family drama.

Yeah, while I probably could have noticed it from the beginning I'm not that kind of viewer (I don't like to try and guess the ending or twists and just let the art flow over me) so it worked for me. I felt like "duh!" and also I bawled my eyes out, I just love that kind of shit. I was excited that maybe this will be…

The way she said she didn't want to beg was really the sticking point, though. She said it in a way that made her look petulant. She was too sensitive and competitive for that environment; I don't think she's a terrible person but she definitely had a nature that was easy for producers to mold into a villain edit.…

I have the opposite feeling in that I've always dismissed it as horrible cornball shit but my husband's family all quote it so much that I've grown to retroactively appreciate it as just a goofy, stupid movie. They don't list the shrimp dishes but god bless you if Dr. Pepper comes up because they WILL definitely talk…

Yes, he is one of the few big famous pop singers that actually evokes the sexy vibes they are trying to evoke. You mostly can't go wrong, I'm partial to The Hills. Or that song from Fifty Shades of Grey. Or that song Or Nah which is otherwise kind of shitty but The Weekend manages to be so vulgar and still stay sexy.…

In the one instance when I really considered seeing a guy in an open relationship, I did think through like how would he convince me? Would I have to talk to the wife directly? But ultimately, I decided against it because it sounded like a hassle.

That's ultimately how I feel. The person being cheated with isn't really responsible for the monogamous commitment the cheater made. I think Dan isn't so much advocating for cheating as much as he's avoiding suggesting open relationships to everyone all the time. Dan does not believe in monogamy, despite giving…

You could call it affirmative action-y in terms of getting trans actors more jobs (which doesn't actually bother me) but more meaningful is the viability of trans people playing trans parts and what that would be mean to the community and also to the way they are seen by everyone. As it is, most trans characters are…

I have to at least try this show because I love Milo and it seems like it might fill my need for something Parenthood-y but it will be very interesting to see how they handle this fat lady plotline. I'm a fat lady, and (like not-actually-fat Amy Schumer) I've never had a problem catching a dick (or a long term…

I had never heard of teriyaki as a Seattle thing (not being from there) until Matthew on Spilled Milk was talking about it and when I saw this title I was like "oh so weird that this thing I've never heard of is appearing somewhere else!" but then as I was reading it I realized it WAS Matthew, good job AV Club, I hope…

THAT sounds like a good theory. Because I don't think Roxxxy is clever enough to come up with it on her own. I was describing the scene to my husband and kept calling Roxxxy an idiot but I felt bad, she is not just ESL but also maybe dyslexic and there's also nerves because she's not an actress or naturally funny so I…

I wouldn't go as far as calling anyone a jackass but I do agree that the reviews are too focused on looking for things to be offended by than coming to the show as a fan, appreciating the conceit of the show but looking at it with a critical eye. It happens fairly often with shows I like on AV Club- the reviewer…

Who else rolled their eyes when Ginger kept calling Katya her best friend? A) No way in hell they are actually "best friends" by any real metric, I would imagine they are "ex-coworker" style friends at best. B) Katya says on an episode of Unhhhh that she thinks the term "best friend" is juvenile. Hah Ginger, you look…

Katya did not deserve to be in the bottom, since there should only have been a bottom 2. Katya's main challenge performance was good, while Alyssa's was weak and Roxxxy's was abysmal. Roxxxy had a better reveal concept than Alyssa (despite Alyssa's actual camera dress being amazing, the mechanism of the reveal was…

There are not actually any rules! I never saw everyone sign on to agreement with this concept, probably because the smart ones knew that it would be both boring and rob them of any strategic options. It's not personell, it's drag! Also, maybe they went deep into it and it wasn't aired, but I don't see how "looking at…

I missed that, thanks! I'd say no two people have had an exactly even performance in the main challenge but that they still let the runway figure in a great deal (that being said, I think the judges are letting the runway mean more than ever in terms of top 2/bottom 2 or 3.) So it makes sense.
