I don't watch the show, but I read the comic regularly enough to recognize the sentiment behind this recap as being the same as when the 100th issue came out. This was when even the stalwart fans got bogged down by the cycling of the plot. I dunno what to do instead—just start following a new group of survivors is

That's a thought I've had as well, but even the non-consumer interest from the demo of this site is an interest, and maybe weirdly, I also think it's a good thing that it's covered more often, that it might have a normalizing effect to it by being covered. These are things that are made for a vast audience, and its

In no doubt partly because of my liberal mind-set, but I found the characterization of liberals so blunt that I didn't take it (the book) that seriously in that regard. I don't remember that well, but I recall it losing me with some hotel room confrontation that just read like a male fantasy to some degree—it's been a

Oof, that Mexico section…even in the history of Rockstar hamhandedness, that was a weak bit of business. And part and parcel of Rockstar's anti-authoritarian shtick, and of Westerns in general, there was also anti-federal and generally pro-bootstrap settlers. Even Pa Ingalls complained about the government on land

If he hates fame, he's phenomenally bad at living his life.

Kinda sounds like FLCL.

I'm not sure whitewashing is best way to express the frustrations people have about this movie—that are probably much wider than this movie. That said, if it were, it is entirely legit to do so regardless of the origin of the director. The context is international movie making, and in the same way that a black police

Eh…is it difficult at all? Like, have people run out of art to consume? Did you stop buying from corporations entirely because you weren't able to vet every one?

While there's definitely a lot about public outcry and protest going on that can be uncomfortable—see also the Amanda Knox did it strain as well, for example—and amplified because of media and technology now, I think Nate Parker is getting it because he's younger and the culture has shifted—partly because of same

Not really arguing for one or the other, but don't see it if it makes you feel bad, but if you're inconsistent with it, well, that's people. Catching yourself on it is the less common thing I think.

It's weird how they're so short and still too long—though I'm entertained enough in general.

I liked the gentleman thief bits, but for a show with so many lawyers, that was some terrible lawyering.

JJ is worth it to finish, but it was another Marvel show that had a weird lull/bloat of making time in the middle. Make it just 10 episodes—hell, make it the number you have an actual story for, and no more. Even counting Marvel TV-verse set up it took longer than it should've.

I'm unfamiliar with the critical response and criticism of Black Orpheus at the time, though I can imagine it. And the opposite—I remember that my Portuguese teacher (in one of many attempts to relearn the language I knew as a tiny tot) was happy that Central Station (just out at the time) was well received, but why

During the peak of the attention that Serial brought to Hae Min Lee's murder, and the fans of the show calling out for any which thing, I think her brother made an appearance on a reddit thread to remind people that a family exists on the other end of all the speculation.

So basically he opened one casino, then made a "better" deal with another partner and opened another casino, and then another one. But each one ate into the big but ultimately limited pool of customers, so all of them made less money then they necessarily could've if he didn't spend his time building his own

I just recently read a review of a Brazilian place that had a strognanoff dish with a ketchup base, and the reviewer said only those nostalgic could compliment it…and having been raised in Brazil for a while I was thinking "that sounds good…"

Well hell, was the last Sublime hatesong this well received? 'Cause all I know about Sublime was that they were from SoCal, and I would've guess that without knowing another thing. That was as dumb as the comedian who didn't think "Return of the Mack" was clear in its Brechtian allusions.

It's probably the hair, but he's Dalton's nerdy cousin, who instead of learning to fight tinkers in the garage.
