I think that's what made Christopher's Guest last movie so off-putting: it had nothing but contempt for it's subjects, with none of the empathy that his previous efforts possessed.

The Newsroom was fucking sexist garbage (as was Guardians,) and you should note that I never said a goddamn thing about Fresh Prince being bad, just that it's a ridiculous thing to suggest after watching the West Wing, television shows that have nothing in common.

Oooh, yeah. Another shame.

It's the supervillian alter-ego of the Nesquik bunny,

I stopped believing in Netflix's algorithms the moment they suggested 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' after I watched 'The West Wing.'

That 'colour-creating' neuronetwork is just a copy-paste of the post-production marginalia in a Baz shooting script.

We had to go somewhere to complain that they cancelled TV Club and the Adventure Time reviews - might as well be someplace warm, dry, and quiet.

Shadow is the protagonist, but the story isn't really about him until close to the end of the story: up until that point he is more of a chorus of one, observing and commenting on the action without being to much of an inciting incident within it (the lynching at the start not withstanding.)

I beg your pardon but according to Wikipedia her breakout role was obviously Ghost Ship.

This is the first change from the book that I actively hated - turning Laura inno something I loathe. I’ve had partners like her in the past, sad-faced, mopey, ‘this incredibly stupid idea tat will hurt me is the thing that will fill the gaping who in my sense of self. These are the people who give expression a bad…

“Ticket packages included the $400,000 ‘Artist’s Palace,’ with four beds, eight V.I.P. tickets and dinner with one festival performer,” the NYT writes. “But there was no such island or palace. Fyre employees recalled higher-ups inventing extravagant accommodations just to see if people would buy them—and some did,…

In a universe where a species can be instantly forgotten after looking at them, and another one travels through semiotic embodiment, saying 'well there's no way extremely powerful aliens could make a planet full of people start guessing the same numbers' strikes me as… narrow-minded.

My only issue with this episode is that it implies that the easiest way to invade Earth is just convince world leaders that they're just simulations; but I have a feeling the simplicity of this plan won't com up again.
