I was never crazy about Top Gun as a teenager, but watching it now it’s really amazing that for most of its length the only thing at stake is a good performance evaluation at work.

I think it’s also pretty insulting to Robbie. It implies the only way you can “act” is if you have dialogue. I think it’s a testament to her talent that I thought she conveyed as much about her character and told her story as well as Pitt and DiCaprio with a fraction of the dialogue.

My audience was laughing/cheering when Rick got out the flamethrower- so was I.

That seemed ad-libbed to me, it was pretty great.

don’t you mean your jellicles

God damn. No D’arcy Carden for The Good Place? How can someone watch her (especially in the episode Janets) and not nominate her for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy.

Canceling on such short notice? That’s...

There was a very brief shot of a Chess King. I remember that store as where they sold all of the trendy and slightly more urban clothing. It’s where i got my first pair of Z Cavaricci’s. Ah the nostalgia. 

I could be wrong about this as I’ve never encountered supernatural monsters from another dimension. But I feel like if I had and it was six months after the latest encounter, I’d be pretty prone to believe any signs that crazy shit was happening again. That’s the one thing that bugged me a bit, Hopper treated Joyce…

And for all the talk of his “protectiveness” towards Eleven, he did not mention her once in conversation on his entire adventure.

Ansari needs to book a parallel tour where’s always playing across the street from Louis CK. Call it the “Hey, At Least I’m Not That Asshole Tour.”

He’s so afraid of the black man murdering someone that he becomes confrontational with the man he believes might kill someone with his child near him.

Somehow, a dude working for YouTube and yet not knowing how social media and/or viral videos work is so fucking appropriate.

I would LOVE for Robin’s parents to be played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpny. We get the realty bites and Before trilogy reunions in one shot. Also would explain her knack for languages. :D 

Soooo, did anybody else get an Evil Dead vibe from the battle at Chez Hopper, or was that just me?

Where do I start? His interest in El’s relationship with Mike was entirely based on his own comfort and selfish needs. El is an isolated kid, with few normal relationships/friendships and he isolated her further because he was uncomfortable with kissing. Does he consider whether breaking up with Mike will make her…

I’m trying to understand the border policy paragraph and I... cannot even get close. it’s such a massive stretch even Nancy would go “hang on, this isn’t quite supported”

The show is portraying them as the evil superpower we thought they were in 1985.

Nancy and Jonathan’s fight scene in the car was really well done on every level. Really tonally consistent character justification for everything they both said. Jonathan is, of course, correct that a family of Nancy’s economic status is privileged to not have to think about how much capitalism sucks until it sucks…
