Sweeney Todd is basically a cartoon, though. If you have the opportunity to see near anything by someone like Martin McDonagh, Caryl Churchill or Suzan-Lori Parks (just three favorites who have had similar articles written about performances of their plays within the past decade or so) and you’re almost sure to see…

I’ve never really understood the whole “fainting from surprise” thing. I’ve fainted out of dehydration or after giving blood. But I can’t imagine fainting over something I’ve seen. Are they fainting while sitting down? Because I feel like that’s somewhat impressive.

I saw it in London, in the last row of the mezzanine (I think you call it?) and it was viscerally terrifying. They do not pull any punches. They do not show anything gory (Sarah Kane’s Cleansed at the National was much worse) but they imply it really, really well. There’s a Jez commenter called doittojulia (possibly…

This is something thing my dad always said to my mom before they made it into a movie- if it was movie about a guy that kills people and makes them into pies and my dad asked my mom to go see that movie she would never even consider. Put it on broadway/in London and add some music and it becomes a cultural…

Well that’s murder which is fairly simple in terms of an act.

Still a better win than this guy.

When I watched the first episode I kept accidentally walking out of the room because so little was happening I forgot it was even on. I feel really sad for the fans but given Netflix’s formula relies on hooking people into binge watching from the first ep it doesn’t surprise me that Sense8 was unsustainable.

What was really stupid was when they included the implication that the protagonist made up her story. This opens up a bunch of plot holes including:

If there was any show that Netflix should have canceled it should have been The OA.

If you saw the photo, the other car got its nose smashed in and the rolls looked like almost nothing happened to it.

Right? C’mon Robb, you gonna let a Mitsubishi flex on your splitter game?

Never trust Charlie Sheen, and never have sex with Charlie Sheen. FTFY

Having listened to the attached clip I believe the targets of his ire was as follows: The English language, the person in charge of mic levels on First Take, and everyone waiting for their car to get fixed across America.

It doesn’t show you everything that happens when your engine blows up.

Amen to that.

I’ve been really happy to see both the Kotaku and Deadspin audiences both collectively telling this author how shitty his blog post is in the comments. Make no mistake, this side of the aisle doesn’t care for this either.

I have been overly critical of Compete being shoe-horned into the Deadspin feed. Opened this article and every stereotype of my people (athletic who don’t “get” the gamer culture) was there. Our big, bad muscles were no match for the intellectually superior and overall better human beings.

Promvongsa could be the biggest piece of shit in the world, and the cops actions here would still be grounds for Assault charges.
