Quite a few people, if Google is to be believed.

Well, not Todd, obviously, since both he and Sarah are widely rumoured to have had multiple affairs.

Introverts who go crazy turn into hoarders and recluses: extroverts who go crazy turn into serial killers. I think we have the better deal.

Yeah, but that would entail going out and talking to other people, and I have no intention of doing that unless there's no other choice.

I can't answer the first question (I would have loved some subtitles), but as for the second, I am quite sure that Costello definitely did die because of the bomb, but can't decide if he is dying or was killed outright: the exact phrasing was "Costello is death process", and since their notion of time is so different…

She did tell him, eventually: that's why he left her. But otherwise, yeah, she decided to have a baby knowing the child would die (but not wanting to give up all the good experiences on the road to that death) yet never gave him the chance to make the same choice, which seems kind of unfair.

We were out walking in Toronto this morning and at I guess 11 a.m. we heard a mass choir just off Yonge Street singing the national anthem for Remembrance Day. Some of the crowd sang along, and I was one of them. It was beautiful and moving.

I can't read all the responses because I'm reading this on my phone and it would take forever, but we just got back from seeing "Arrival" and to my astonishment, Villeneuve turned that unfilmable short story into something grand and poetic and glorious, and it really does give you faith in humanity — the prospect of…

The verb tenses in the story make it clear that she knows the future: the sections describing how the aliens came to earth and she learned the language are in the past tense, while every reminiscence of her daughter is in future tense, things that she remembers though they haven't happened yet. It's all in there.…

But that's exactly what happens in the story: she knows as a consequence of learning the language that she will marry and divorce and that they will have a daughter who will die. There's even a discussion of free will: if you know that a thing will happen in the future, can't you simply do something to avert it?

The roaches were surely meant to be Roma in modern-day Europe, and anybody who doesn't think that under the right social conditions it would be easy to for a Marine Le Pen or a Joerg Haider to turn a significant portion of the population against them hasn't been paying attention.

We know for sure that four people have seen it, because How Did This Get Made did it ages ago and they had a guest host alongside the three regulars.

Brennan certainly was a racist, but his son denied that that ever happened.

Thanks — I honestly couldn't make out what they were saying to him and didn't feel like rewinding for another go at it.

I take your point, with the minor exceptions that 1) we already had a pedophile, which is much worse than merely cheating on your wife with a hooker, so we've established that the trolls are just fucking with people they have any old kind of dirt on, and 2) there's at least one person (the original deliverer of the…

I thought the twist ruined it. When you're that age and everything is massively magnified in your head, knowing that everyone is going to see you jerking off and make your life a living hell is going to seem like the worst thing in the world. It's motivation enough to do anything to stop that from being exposed.…

If you're getting into the new season of "Black Mirror", you will probably want to start with "Nosedive", which is fairly light and occasional comedic, and then move on to "San Junipero". The rest of them are basically a knife to the gut, as we expect from the series.

Have you seen the new season? "Shut Up and Dance" is very like "White Bear" in its unstinting cruelty towards its protagonist and its sheer brutality; I guarantee I'll never watch it again. I sort of wish I hadn't even watched it the first time.

Shone.

We read Ezekiel 23:20 and go at it like knives.
