That Tweet comes off awfully snippy and self aggrandizing though.

Girls was pretty insufferable in its “Look how hard it is for us affluent white girls” but after it ended Dunham really put the “look at how much I suck” train into overdrive.

I realize that our reading of her intent is subjective, but it’s hard for me to picture someone calling themselves “incomparable” when someone has just compared them to someone else without implicitly denigrating that other person. And not naming names is just standard PR, which is not an especially convincing case,…

I remember when I almost got tossed from the site and created a huge brouhaha by suggesting the LD maybe wasn’t the generational voice TVDW thought she was. Good times. 

Yes. Because rightwingers are bad people.

Oh that is not the right take.
For years, he kept telling everyone that they were just jokes and he can joke about whatever he wants and he doesn’t have to care.
But when Netflix didn’t take up his documentary, he flipped like a total hypocrite and started saying “But I do care! That’s why I make the jokes!”
His heart is…

I honestly think his heart is in the right place on that issue and that he’s really just pushing some “anti-PC” point. Badly, excessively, and offensively in my opinion and so he’s getting what he deserves. He’s in fact asking for it. That’s why his complaints are weird. It seems to me he WANTS this conflict to prove…

IIRC, Rick revealed what the doctor told him at the CDC at the end of season two. I don’t remember if Rick said the line then.

Bookwalkers or Unsullied, depending on whether you’ve also read the books.

No fandom that hates its own subject is more toxic than any other.

On the other end of the spectrum, “I find that Star Trek fans have always been very, very inclusive,” he said. “You know, Star Trek’s about diversity. It has been since 1966, it always was. There’s no sort of like, ‘Oh, you’re suddenly being woke now.’ Star Trek was woke from the beginning, you know?”

The reviewer doesn't specify whether she's read the book: her words imply that she has, but her lack of comprehension suggests she hasn't. 

As if Persuasion hasn’t been adapted multiple times and Sally Hawkins and Amanda Root hadn’t both interpreted that very well thank you very much.

Well, not every book and story throughout history was crafted with an aim to appeal to you personally.

Vibrant, OK, Austen’s writing is always vibrant. But “jocular” gives entirely the wrong idea. Persuasion is witty, but it’s a more heavy-hearted affair than usual. That doesn’t necessarily preclude the Fleabag approach, but if one were to do that then there’d have to be the appropriate tone, and not “ohh goodness me…

“The vibrant, jocular tone of the book?” Persuasion is easily Austen’s most thoughtful, even downbeat novel. There are some elements of humor, but treating it like a breezy Regency lark is exactly the wrong approach, and it’s why pretty much everywhere else hates this movie.

This show was, is, and shall ever be, an egregious pile of shit. The latter seasons of Dexter still managed to tell more coherent and logical stories about serial killers. This show is nothing but torture porn-lite for housewives.

She may be a shit person but she’s a hell of a singer, and, while she may never win an Oscar, a competent actor.

Yeah she left after they told her she was fired.

“Once the production decided to take the show in a different direction”

A direction where they wanted the lead actress to be able to sing good.
