What is a 25 year old doing running a major event like this? I see this all the time when a company brings in some young overconfident kid who talks a big game, who went to a nice school, has the right connections and knows how to speak hipster. Almost every time they screw up so critically someone with experience has…

How do these rich, powerful lap-of-luxury fucks manage to look tenser and unhappier than missing-leg guy and his wife?

“I’m a compassionate person. I’m very heartbroken over her passing, especially since it was cancer.”

Ron Howard handled it beautifully, as did Henry Winkler. Neither jumped to conclusions or were anything but respectful about Erin.

“I’m very heartbroken over her passing, especially since it was cancer.”

I hate douchbro penis measuring, but honestly if some asshat said those kind of things about my recently deceased sibling and then tried to brush it off because it’s ok to rag on drug addicts but not cancer patients (like wtf Chachi!) I would go out of my way to destroy the asshat in any way I could think of. I don’t…

“There isn’t one word I want to hear you speak.”

I like this Tony Moran guy’s stuff here. Might I also suggest “Keep my name out of your mouth.” 

You’re a good person with a soul so you assume that everyone else also has one and can feel things like guilt and regret. That was your first mistake.

Seriously. Like...did you actually read the book?

Yeah, that sounds weirdly made-up to me.

Where are all the dudes who have never read the book, or heard about Margaret Atwood before this week, to tell me what to think of the show?

“It’s a rape fantasy”? God knows sexualizing rape is a depressingly common trope, but I’m having troubling imagining how anyone could confuse the cold, clinical rapes in The Handmaid’s Tale with erotica.

All the stars must go to you. The book is easily in my top 10 all time favorites list.

I would do happy somersaults of joy if HBO would give it the Band of Brothers treatment. It’s an absolutely fascinating book that covers all the complexities of the collapse and rebuilding of modern society, social, political, military, and emotional. Please, oh, please.

I would totally love that. There are so many awesome parts! The awesome blind Japanese man! The reality show that falls apart! The political power of Cuba! There is so so much richness in that book the movie was so so disappointing.

They should have just changed the title and it would be a perfectly adequate, well-made zombie action movie. As an adaptation it’s a big failure. Nobody who read the book likes the movie, especially because they now have the rights to the book so if someone did want to make a more faithful HBO mini-series adaptation…

But how many scarves will Brad Pitt wear in the sequel? Will he also make pancakes?

Ugh, I hate to be one of those “the book was better” people but the fact that the movie bore almost no resemblance to the book (which to be fair is more suited to an HBO mini-series type thing) really colored my enjoyment of it as a generic zombie action flick. Is it really good? Did a lot of people actually like…

World War Z was not good...

(IIRC it was Jim DeRogatis reminding everyone of the women children he raped and then intimidated into silence that made Kelly a pariah, and not the watersports.)
