Every Sicilian therapy session ever:

“I’m not going to visit the White House again,” says Putin. “Those guys have been super rude to me. I’m not going to their state dinner no matter how many times they ask.”

Wow, that would be quite the controversy if it turned out an NBC show was sneaking promotional content into one of its shows. Now let’s all watch the Office episode with an entire subplot about Kevin playing with a Staples paper shredder.

I will never be able to read “Halle Bailey” and not first think “Halle Berry.”

Ah continuing the tradition of making these as drab and lifeless as possible! The idea that it’s less colorful so it’s more realistic is also absurd given the incredible color and variety we get in undersea documentaries. It’s just a way to make the CGI less obviously bad. These are so dumb.

I cant imagine this not being a dark shitshow on D+, it’s barely tolerable in normal environments HDR wise

Yeah I saw it and thought “colors are a little dark but okay” then that part came and I was like “oh come the hell on”

Halle Bailey is a talented performer and songwriter, but holy shit, why is she being asked to take the melody on a fucking rollercoaster? Just sing the song! The lyrics and melody are emotional enough on their own.

She looks and sounds great.

Nothing is bright anything in that trailer. I mean, props for capturing the realism of how murky and dark the deep sea is, I guess, but feels like this might lead to a Lion King-style situation where the realism of the imagery undercuts the magic.

Yeah, I reread that bit trying to figure out what I was missing that makes sense of that. It doesn’t matter how much ‘social power’ someone has if they DM you, because it’s not public unless you make it so. If Billie Eilish slid into my DMs to call me an asshole, I’d be alarmed and confused, but it wouldn’t have the…

This season was all about fast travel. Did you not notice how fast everyone travels through NYC on foot, walking to and from that damn tower?

All excellent questions. I’d add:  How did Charlotte take over the world and why focus on the mind-control tower in the city when there must be millions of those things in every city? You raise my same objection with William. A few episodes ago he was curious about what humans were like, how they saw themselves and…

If anything I thought he was too gentle. Gen Z is full of people just like the characters in this movie: self-obsessed bullies co-opting the language and buzzwords of social justice movements in order to wage merry war against whoever happens to piss them off. Yes, not all of them are like that, and yes, other…

Fetishizing victimhood isn’t necessarily new but has definitely been taken to the next level in more recent years, and accusing people of deliberately trying to inflict psychological trauma (gaslighting etc.) has become so common it doesn’t even mean anything at this point. And yes it’s fair to say this is more…

I can’t wait for those Celebrity Jeopardy categories!

Aside from Bialik’s other shortcomings, she just feels all wrong for Jeopardy. Her disposition is that of a too-happy morning show host and it really doesn’t seem like she knows the answers half the time? Alex always was about to tell you right away whether they got it right or not but there’s always this hesitation…

Neat. I’ll continue not watching Jeopardy! with anti-vaxxer, brain pill shiller, victim blamer, Mayim Bialik.

It’s hilarious how often people think Dunham was actually claiming to be “the voice of a generation” and not using that line to indicate how aimless and underserved her generation felt.

“I think that I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least a voice. Of a generation” is the quote from Girls.
