Current Mood:

I had actually been enjoying this season more than last as I thought it was leaning even more into the absurdity of it all, in what I thought was a pretty fun way (shirtless goon squad! mystery crate! drag race/50's cosplay convention! Cheryl!). But these last two episodes took a hard turn into NOPE! for me. I’m not…

I agree, I was just thinking the same thing! It these trying times, it’s the little victories.

Wasn’t his main take away from Tootsie not that it’s hard out there for a woman, but that it’s the hard out there for an ugly woman?

I still speak in 40% early-era Simpson’s quotes, which at this point, might as well be speaking in tongues. But I can’t help it, it’s beyond my control. The one I use most frequently is “The children are right to laugh at you, Ralph” and never once has anyone laughed in recognition nor wondered why I called them…

Alex, your sincere appreciation for the original TMNT and Sam Rockwell’s glorious line delivery on “Regular or Menthol” which I also bust out more than any adult in the year 2017 has any right to, means that we are soul mates. Don’t worry. I won’t act upon it.

Between Veronica saying “make it” and Betty doing a strip tease in front of her mom and boyfriend’s dad, at this point I have to wonder if the writers of this show have ever met another human being before. This is like The Room if it was focused entirely on that Denny kid and had much higher production values.

Troi is a God damned treasure. My husband sort of forced me to watch TNG through his force of will and my laziness on Sunday mornings, and she was often my light in the darkness. She’s such a ridiculous character, there is no reason for her to be there, but she commits so completely to the role. And is very convincing…

If we saw fit to elect Trump to office for any reason, then we have a toxic culture that needs examining. Hillary was fine. Not great, not exceptional and also not a disaster. She was fine. And we could argue that “fine” isn’t good enough to be President if we hadn’t elected “absolutely fucking terrible.” Why can we…

MY POINT STILL STANDS! I mean...he is technically better than the actual murderers I guess, but he is certainly my least favorite. Like In my personal Parental Power Rankings, the bottom four are Betty’s Dad, Cliff Blossom’s wigs, Fred and then Cliff Blossom.

With the time and attention spent to Jughead’s fraught “minute-to-minute” existence this episode, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly declare Fred Andrews to be the worst human on this show. That’s right. I said it.

Not to get all Buzzfeed about it, but that little “S’up?” nod from the zombie deer gave me life.

OK so the thing about THIS one is that when I say everyone knew this guy was a prick, I mean even my Trump-voting, non-paying-attention-to anything parents. They knew about the rumored affair with Natalie, they knew he was a dick to Ann Curry, and they generally disliked him. Like, even my parents got the vibe…

I think its easier to hate on Josh because he is shitty in a very real, very specific way a lot of people are shitty. I think we’ve all dated on some level a Josh, if not a jocular meat-head, someone as emotionally lazy and obliviously self-centered. Rebecca is so over the top, it’s easier to wave it away, because we…

For whatever reason, I always took that kind of content in his material as “astute observation and critical examination,” not “shameful confession and half-assed justification.” Why I assumed the former and not that later? There’s a lesson for me in there, I guess. Come, 2017! Teach me more of your ways! Whenever I…

Heh, oh yeah. For the record, I’m not saying any of those things means he’s innocent. Just it’s own kind of specific bummer.

This one is particularly baffling to me, because he’s often fairly insightful in his comedy about sexual politics and like Pamela Adlon works closely with him. She wouldn’t put up with that shit, right? RIGHT? And the content of that movie...how can someone be that self-aware and yet? He’s like the Hannibal Lecter of…

Everyone on here bitching, about Trump, about gun control, about how Oliver or Meyers or Colbert’s influence is overestimated, about preaching to the choir, about how this used to be an entertainment site...you’re voting today, right? You’re gonna vote? You have voted? Because if not, fuck off and go do it.

The “member the Goonies?” stuff is well done and one of the things I specifically like about it. Its most of the other elements of the plot and character decisions/motivations that are silly or make no sense to me. Silly in many cases to the point of comedy or parody, but I don’t get the vibe I should be laughing. I…

The gang was so over-the-top insane ridiculous that it had to be a joke, but I couldn’t quite enjoy it like one. I also watch Riverdale. Riverdale is a terrible show, but there is something about it that lets me relax into the terribleness. I can’t really explain it. But something that signals to my brain, “We know,…
