Completely agreed.  However, that was one moment where the writing let the storyline down, I felt.  How long had they been together??  A month?  And just when Ruby was realizing the benefits of being open about their relationship--I mean *just* after he met her dad, she calls it full on quits because Otis isn’t yet in…

While the will-they, won’t-they stuff was drawn out, the season had enough twists in it I wasn’t much bothered. I wouldn’t say I shipped Otis and Ruby, but their relationship had a surprising amount of depth for something that could easily have been stock, pulled-off-the-shelf “nerd gets the hottie” dross.

Chris Pratt isn’t Italian or a plumber. Neither is Charlie Day and they aren’t even brothers, and neither of them are known for wearing caps or having mustaches.
Donkey Kong isn’t actually a donkey, he’s a fucking monkey, as a human Rogen is descended from monkeys but is that enough to justify him playing a monkey.
Any…

This is so interesting, I’ve seen quite a few reviews really praise this show. Given that I personally LOVED Hill House and loved what Bly Manor was trying to do (though it failed in the end) Midnight Mass is probably gonna be a more positive watch for me.

Probably the right choice, but a shame nonetheless. It’s a fine line to walk between telling a good story and just sticking in nothing but callbacks to the original series.

I’m totally one of those boring “Weezer was the most important band for teenage me, but I fell out of love after Maladroit”-guys. That said, I really appreciate this list, for a couple of reasons:

I’m by no means a Weezer afficionado but it was really great to read someone writing with passion and eloquent enthusiasm about something they love.

I regret to inform you that you’ve just been sued by Spencer Elden.

I look forward to the Emmys giving an Emmy for Best Award Show to the Emmy ceremony, and then instantly disappearing inside itself.

The irony, of course, is that the point of The Sopranos (well, part of the point, anyway) is showing in a very clear way that none of these guys are worthy of admiration. Hell, none of them are even particularly interesting. It’s not just that they’re brutal criminals — they’re not stylish, they’re not charming,…

I felt Hill House took the themes of Jackson’s novel, such as grief and trauma, and ran with them in a way that justified its episode count. In a world where more literal adaptations such as Watchmen (and, I’m nervously but hopefully needlessly dreading, Dune) recreate the text while completely eliding the ideas…

The whole vibe of the headmistress cracking down and the inevitable student rebellion feels ripped from the amorphous never-was period of teen films past, and given that the show has always been a mix of eras and cultures thrown together (for a school in the UK it’s clearly wearing its US-focused background on its…

It’s a pop culture site examining how a major celebrity manages his image and how that image has evolved. They’re not digging in. It’s a thoughtful and balanced piece.

Eh, it’s a decent piece to chew on. I don’t think it’s a hitpiece or anything.

Trying to do the math—

Dude, don’t give that asshole money. 

And just to be clear, female stars’ perceived value to films is underestimated ALL THE TIME to avoid paying them fairly. (My go-to insane example is Gillian Anderson being offered half of David Duchovny’s salary for the “X-Files” reboot, as if anyone would’ve fucking watched it without her, or Dochovny is still some…
