Right. You're the mentally ill stalker from other threads. Fuck off, loser.

Anyone looking for a 'female-centric' sci-fi movie will do well to catch The Machine which, for no reason I can think of, was only a modest hit instead of big hit.

And that's on top of Grey's Anatomy being just another prime time soap set in a hospital, and Scandal being just really shitty prime time soap opera.

It's great that black showrunners can kinda suck, but she still kinda sucks.

Grey's Anatomy and Scandal are this show's DNA? No wonder if felt forced, the characters almost desperate to get their line readings across. I didn't make it past the 15 minute mark. No thanks.

Black women on television are expected to be role models, to “represent” the race in a positive light.

Wow. Who's doing this

Wow. A-? Really? I'd be pleased to like it, but the first ten minutes of this "comedy" couldn't even draw a twitch, never mind a laugh. It felt staler than stale.

seems so.

Nothing of greatness in the early going, and it limps downhill from there. Good cinematography, though, with a peaceful palette of foggy greys and blues and greens, as though the entire film, spread out over a week or so, was shot on a very, very overcast late afternoon. Less impressive is the failure to show through

About forty minutes in I realized there wasn't a single memorable line of dialogue. Never mind memorable, there wasn't a line that wasn't instantly forgettable. So that's part of what happened.

It's also no coincidence that it's not working on the 30 year old, and working on the 20 year old. Think soul patch. And elvin bone structure that almost no one over 25 has and that short hair favors.

I quit after the second "rectum" reference. When a Chuck Lorre show starts to rot, there's nowhere to go. Oh, and Kaley Cuoco's short hair removes the other reason to watch this tepid sitcom. There's a reason 90% of Oscar and Emmy roundtable actresses have long hair.

Well, at least now I've got mine.

"Most of you suck."

Rachel McAdams?

Smart, well-written, and mostly lacking in the imbecilic crudities Stewart regularly indulges in and which too often render The Daily Show unwatchable. The main segments of Last Week Tonight are often twice as long as even the best segments from TDS making, episode for episode, LWT the much better show.

"Stridently liberal"? I recently re-watched the series and the complexity of the series tones is more what I think of. That seems more fitting given the large number of writers, how early Coon took over exec producing chores from Roddenberry, and so on. Do you have particularly eps in mind?

First time I saw Spur of the Moment, as a young teen, I didn't immediately grasp old Anne was young Anne. Her mother seemed at least briefly plausible.

Thanks.
I’ll cheerfully agree that if your entire interest is weak legerdemain, or the obsessive trivializing of anything that even hints at real feeling, Quint is your man. If you like simulacra of simulacra of half-baked simulacra, by all means have at Inglorious and Kill Bills. At least in Death Proof Tarantino

It's a quote from the review. Given the destruction wrought on all genders, I was amused that the reviewer singled out what he saw as its misogyny when, iirc, greater savagery is wrought on men.

I'm genuinely curious about something. In addition to being victimized, women wreak savage violence on men in this film. Why isn't the violence against women subsumed under the heading here of violence against people? After all, even the 'good' women still dismember men. Why then the assertion of 'inherent sexism'?

You sound so confused, and your babbling is so entirely unrelated to anything I've said, that it's not possible I could add anything that would help you dig yourself out of the pit you've sunk. Good luck with that humorless self-loathing, though. It can't be any fun.
