In my admittedly limited experience, it can be a routine occurrence for a gentleman who needs to start buying large-sized condoms. I suspect what's going on with this couple is more that he doesn't like her insistence that she won't take personal responsibility for birth control and if they get pregnant by accident…

Those are all great points. And yes, I do well remember everyone (including me) being assholes back then. But I might go back because I just don't love all the ways in which the seventies came back. Well, I guess we at least don't have stagflation.

I was in the same situation, and I felt that coconut ice cream was the best. I was so happy when they started making ice cream sandwiches and other novelties with coconut ice cream.

The future is great in a lot of ways. Having smartphones is a lot of the reason I say that. But really, I was not expecting the endless wars, and am not a fan. I was just reminded of Desert Storm. Where I lived, people were all kind of freaked out about Gulf War I, talking about it being Armageddon and all that kind…

The rich guy who imprisoned Oh Dae Su in the first movie was having relations with his sister, and Dae Su saw him and told the students at school that his sister was a whore, and she committed suicide. That was why Dae Su was locked in the hotel room for 15 years. In this version, the bad guy's sister was caught with…

I liked the 2013 version. I don't know what's wrong with it. Maybe my problem is that I didn't love the book and so can't see what it is about the story that the movie failed to get right.

I take it you didn't read the comments section on those reviews? Because I was not the only person who had good things to say about it. There are dozens of us, etc!

You've just convinced me to check out Harlots!

I finished watching Iron Fist this week. It was my first time watching something and reading along with the reviews when they first come out. That aspect of it was fun, being able to really participate in the discussions of the show while they were current was nice. But it was like the Constantine reviews in that…

I watched the remake of Oldboy this weekend. I'd seen the original, so I knew the plot (knew that it had some very upsetting elements), so I wasn't expecting it to be a feel-good movie or anything. It was punishing to watch, far more so than I was expecting. For one thing, Spike Lee left the humor out of this one,…

I've been married as long as you. Life circumstances led to relationship and sexual problems and I felt almost no desire to do the deed. For a really, really long time. Then one day, long after things had gotten better, my sex drive came back, almost as high as previously. To make this a happier story, in our earlier…

That would have improved it!

Because exposition? For people like me who aren't familiar with the comics? Maybe just to do something different. It wasn't great, but I did find it fascinating.

As a person who has not watched any of those other shows, I have never found her to be anything other than obnoxious. She's not much more here than a mustache-twirling villain.

And the guy from the psych hospital who tried to stab Danny with a fork. Actually, on the whole I rather liked that part of the series.

Danny is sweet and his heart is (usually) in the right place, so yes, a perfectly reasonable character for people to fall in love with. I'm unusual in that Davos isn't really giving me the feels (though his arc in this ep is really great).

I have to disagree with you. You may not think much of Danny, but Danny is too good for guy who jacks a food truck and then terrorized the operator for sh!ts and giggles.

I forgot that. My point was weak.

Those are good points. I mostly just viewed the other motivations you mention as distractions, which is why I didn't enjoy the episode where they address holding Madame Gao hostage, because I felt like that whole thing was a distraction.

The hatchet-man gang are Asians, not portrayed as bad guys.
