Both of those comments are still there.

If you didn't intend the pun, I don't know what you mean. You think they were stretching plausibility to make a parallel between the kids? But they were both at the carnival the same day— that was just part of the plot. They both got the same design because when someone has to paint 5000 kids' faces in a day they get…

There have been like 4 other DK movies already, no? I would check on IMDb, but I'm a little afraid I might find out there were actually 40 or 400.

Wait, is that actually what happens? I always thought the high school requirement was just that she had to take the class, and that what she missed out on by flunking it was a college scholarship opportunity.

It's a defense mechanism, but it's also a form of hope. If you haven't found a place in the world, and people have called you a weirdo… then maybe everyone who's a "weirdo" is really like you in some way, so then you have lots and lots of potential friends. You only start to realize that it doesn't quite work that way…

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a line establishing that she'd seen him before but not in a while, and he was definitely resuming a long-running monologue rather than introducing himself as a new patient— there was some kind of frustrating history there. But that's not to say it's hopeless; he'll at least have some…

"I think she's into weird stuff because she thinks it makes other people think she's cooler, not because she genuinely likes weird stuff"

"Seymour ends up seeking therapy to help him change"

They'll get it. They're just not going to like how they'll get it.

I'm not sure what "overpowers the film" means. It's one of the main things that the film is about: if you can't get over the feeling that you're a special snowflake and everyone else is full of shit (despite the fact that often everyone is full of shit in that environment), you're going to become a bitter toxic…

Did you just pull a Reverse LaBoeuf?

I don't know if Clowes planned it as a novel from the start or not, but when I originally read it serialized in Eightball it took a while to feel like one— partly just because he'd never done anything like that before. Eightball had been all about one-off strips in lots of different styles, except for one long…

"…even as late as 2001, the idea of being wirelessly connected to the
Internet was unusual enough that only one person would think to game a
daily free-coffee trivia question in this way"

That's pretty funny considering that on its own original shows, AMC handles cuss words by muting them.

As any serious practitioner of the ASCII arts knows, creating boners does not require use of the Shift key.

Don being comfortable with "women in general working" isn't the same as Don being comfortable with his woman working, especially in a field where she's being looked at and admired and flirted with as part of the job. If Betty or Megan had gotten a bookkeeping job instead, Don might've still been bothered because it'd…

The story has nothing at all to do with Occupy, unless you think that all stories involving some form of political protest are the same, which Straczynski apparently does.

Are you actually serious about that last part? I mean, it's fine that you like to change clothes without getting completely naked— I can easily imagine that some people do that. But it's really hard for me to imagine that those people don't understand that other people do get naked when they change clothes, to the…

I can't remember the last time I was so happy to see a guest actor appear again in a preview.

I think the "I love you" scene in this episode really advanced his character—not so much because he finally got the courage to express something real, but because it revealed the limits of his courage. He so badly wanted to take a chance on telling Paul his feelings and also standing up for himself more, but when Paul…
