It left you hanging… like a bunch of tentacles. You're living it, buster.

At the time of the Kanye debacle? She was 19. And I'm not saying I feel bad for her. I'm only saying that, at the time, it looked like a petty dude was taking away this really neat moment from someone whose career had just gotten off the ground. Now, even at the time, it was pretty clear that Kanye wasn't wrong.…

I mean, at the time, she was just a kid. Now, though, yeah. I'd never want to be friends with Taylor Swift. She seems like she'd be a pain in the ass who would do annoying, shitty things and then wave it off as her being cute.

Swift is so filthy rich that she could at least give the streaming royalties to the people who make her records. I mean, it's something.

I'll happily take a Sprockets revival at any time.

He could really up his representation by putting himself on television. ZING!!!! AM I RIGHT, FOLKS??

Trans-women who haven't done bottom surgery? I don't know.

Or maybe… we're all Kendrick Lamar.

Is this guy Kendrick Lamar? Because DAMN.

This, too, was probably my favorite episode of the season, if only for Ray Liotta's funny and quietly heartbreaking performance. Seriously. Give the guy another Emmy.

Of course they went with Lenny from Of Mice and Men. Classic elementary school hijinks.

Wow… This isn't obnoxious at all.

Can we just tell this to all depressives? As one, I think this truth is one that we could use.

I feel like you could insert any artist into that line: "It's okay not to care about [so and so]."

Exactly. Films like The Passion of Joan of Arc, or M, Or Sunrise, are always going to be incredible and exciting. Today, in an age where we're predisposed to find the grift in what we see in movies, Keaton would have been miraculous. His work is still mindblowing, but I can only imagine how astonishing it would have…

It's unnatural in the sense that it doesn't make story sense. And her going off by herself is, by no means, inauthentic. It would be silly if she immediately went to be a curator at the Louvre—though, honestly, it's more in line with what her aspirations have been in her life. And again, what is the value of just…

No idea. I like the age I live in, because new, exciting things come out all the time. If I had to pick, I wish I had been born in time for Buster Keaton's The General. Today, it's clearly a marvel of filmmaking. Seeing it in 1928 would have been amazing, even though it was a flop then. If not that, then Sherlock, Jr.

Except the episode plays it like staying with Dev is a positive, whereas you've described it as something way more fucked up. And it has nothing to do with feminism. It has to do with basic narrative structure.

I mean, who knows? She could move to London and make pasta there, or even Rome. She doesn't have to travel the world, but she can take steps to have a life outside of what she's used to. In real life, most adults do get to have their own lives, so it wouldn't have been that unrealistic. Francesca isn't Nell… from the…

Francesca should have gone off and done her own thing. It doesn't feel earned. Even the tensest moment of the episode—their dancing together—feels so unnatural, mostly because Ansari doesn't have a vulnerability in that moment. It doesn't feel like he understands the situation he's in, which is the entire point of…
