The only thing I do hope is that this season slows down a little. It sounds like it does, but they’re rushing a lot. I don’t want them to burn through too much too quickly. 

I’ll be really interested to see how this turns out. On the one hand, a lot of the material is extremely dated. On the other, it has some good tunes, and the three person cast is interesting. Either way, I hope they give Andrew Garfield some time off to go see the next Spider-Man movie. 

Most of my feelings about rent is that Benny is no longer the bad guy. 

I’ll look that up in my research. Thanks!

“Luke’s father is.. Chewbaca!” 

There’s a rich literary tradition of exactly what Song of the South was about, which was pretty much: Hey, slavery wasn’t THAT bad. The slave masters were always heroes that the slaves wanted to die for. Pretty much what you’d expect. (This isn’t an endorsement of them. This is to point out how terrible they are, and…

True. 

It really seems like the internet is terrible for sequels. It seems like a lot of books respond to internet comments rather than forging their new path or trying to make something interesting.

How did they get footage of me when I started swimming?

Don’t kink-shame this cat. 

Excellent. Now she can write a memoir and the resulting Netflix series will run for 8 years. 

I’d actually would have liked to have seen the show from the perspective of our four “new” humans. i think it would be interesting to disorient the audience a little. Mind-wiped Chidi would have been an interesting vantage point. Especially if they got someone with the self-awareness to say, “hey ,maybe i don’t belong…

I mean... everything is an observation taken from somewhere. i do remember that movie now that you mention it, but I still think that you can have some cool points not made in the movie, which was basically to justify this one particular guy’s obsession with porn. So, i’m sure you’ve got some awesome points! Make…

As much as I enjoyed this, I’d like them to throw in an extra twist at this point. They’re working hard on this experiment and... the Bad Place is interfering? What? I’m just so shocked that they’d interfere! confused gasp!

You know, I hadn’t seen it like this before. I see it through my own experience, but I can totally see this as Trans Michael now. 

i agree, but part of it is old dudes not accepting that there are now new, exciting ways of storytelling that aren’t just putting a movie into a theater as well. Exact same issues with “indie” films a few years ago. 

Holy carp. You’re right. Same recycled actors who can make a bunch of movies cheaply that affect the same centers of the brain.

I hope the reviewer didn’t cut themselves on the edginess of this film.

Aw. 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag wasn’t THAT bad. 

why didn’t you title this, “Riddle me this, Paul Dano.” just this once?
