As a 30ish old navigating the mires of online dating…I just know there is a picture of sushi captioned #Nobu on Shake’s dating profile. And I’m sad to know it.

Deepti is clearly superior to him in every possible way, but I’ve been surprised to find myself feeling a little bit for Shake. He seems to be struggling with a lot of internalized racism, and perhaps some other issues that do not allow him to connect with a woman both physically and emotionally at the same time. A…
I don’t know if it’s still on, but they were running a deal for 12 months of AMC+ for $2/month for Christmas/New Years.
I disagree. I found it fascinating how often the “sitcom” humor actually made me laugh. It’s a satire of sitcom tripe, true, but I think it also makes a subtle point about how easy it is for high-minded "prestige TV" types to ignore/dismiss the effectiveness of sitcom writing. I think the show laughs at TV snobs as…
Naw, Biden was an improvement in the same way chopping off an arm is better than dying from gangrene. But it’s impressive how quickly people seem to forget about the pandemic that brought the world to a halt (including reducing fuel demand to all time lows).
Inflation is high now, but will prove to be more or less in…
When gas was crazy expensive under Bush after the Iraq war I remember a bunch of conservatives saying not to blame the president but whatever.
I bought my truck from Carvana and felt like it was a scam because it was so easy. Handled everything online and chose to go to the Carvana location because we wanted to do the vending machine. Turns out my truck was too big for that, but they let us get another car out just to see it work. We signed a couple of…
“Everything was very delayed, and our plate and registration took 4 months to get to us.”
Sold a car to Carvana earlier this year. The process was very simple for me. They came to my workplace, looked the car over (very) briefly, I signed a few papers, and then they loaded it up and took it away. The process took 6 minutes. The money was in my bank account the following morning. Given how briefly they…
Possibly, but if I’m fleeing the country I’m probably selling my car for cash and finding another way to the airport.
Thinking about the circumstances that led to these abandoned cars is quite sad. Could be the owners traveled alone and died at their destination with no next of kin to be found.
Nissan Mirano Crosscabriolet.
I mean, what was the whole Angel/Angelus storyline other than punishing her for having sex. Oh and also Parker. Oh and also literally having her sex with Riley cause like a demonic vortex. Oh and also everything with Spike.
Seriously, I loved Firefly but after reading those plans I was like “ok, so maybe it’s good that this got the axe.”
“Ugh, shut up, Xander” is exactly how I feel about him pretty much every time he says or does anything. Plus it’s what I’m going to say to annoying self-proclaimed feminist nice guys from now on whenever they piss me off.
I was in my 20s when Buffy debuted and had already seen what a creator’s avatar can do to a show. Wesley Crusher became far less insufferable as time went on, however. I could never abide Xander; I found him petty, resentful, entitled to the attention and affection of the women around him, and boring as all get out.…
I don’t think so. he seems to be an equal opportunity ass, being a jerk to both male and female actors that are challenging to him. That doesn’t contradict anything he said in that quote. Just like criticizing a person who happens to be of color does not invalidate one’s antiracist bonafides, or (the perennial…
Cabin in the Woods was around the same time as Avengers, so those two together seemed to elevate him from “TV Guy” to “Movie Guy”.
Yep, this. In fact, I’ve always argued that Joss’s work got markedly worse, both in its craftsmanship and its representation of women, when people stopped treating him as a skilled artisan who wrote well-constructed stories about the sort of women who interested him and started lauding him as this Genius Artiste…
Looking at the show with more maturity, experience, and education, I never quite realized how toxic the Xander character was and it makes more sense now.
