I don't really find Order to have a lackluster plot. The culmination of events leading to the battle inside The Ministry of Magic is probably my favorite part of the entire series. The depression is also something I enjoyed and I think more character development is present in Order than in the previous books. If…

I actually know very few people from where I'm from who haven't watched Fireproof and Courageous and made remarks about how "good" they are and the "great message" they have.

In 10th grade at my public school in health class I was forced to watch Courageous soon after it was released on DVD. Let me repeat a couple things from that sentence: "public school," "health class." That evening I bitched about it on Twitter, mostly because it was objectively terrible, and was attacked by like three…

Sorry. I had a typo above. Order is also my favorite by a pretty wide margin.

I did. It was a typo that managed to render almost everything I said afterwards meaningless.

Eh, I don't know. Order of the Phoenix is pretty far from the greatness of the book. I know it's necessary to separate books and movies, but when so much material that made the book is just left out, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think the next best is probably the final film or maybe even Half Blood Prince.…

"But isn't that a simile? I'm so confused." - Kirk Cameron, probably.

There's plenty of upbeat, poppy stuff out there, even outside of the mainstream. That's not here thing, clearly. I don't see any reason to dock her for it. In her facet of pop music, she's wonderful and incredibly refreshing.

I read this as "Hannibal" and now I'm sad.

Pretty sure it's talking about how all of the actors are nearly 30.

"Space" is considered a bottle episode by the creators, as well as "Ice." Of course there are a couple scenes in each episode where they're not in the episode's main location, but The X-Files doesn't have a constant set piece that the characters spend time in. Episodes that move from the bureau to another building and…

Yeah, I know Scream will eventually have to have kills within the episode, but I'm already tired of the current format two episodes in. The first and second episode were essentially the same in terms of plot progression, if we're being honest. The second was far more interesting, but it was essentially "kill >…

Ok, so I didn't necessarily despise this episode as much as the first one. As a huge fan of the movies, I found the first episode to be shockingly offensive. It was everything that Scream isn't supposed to be and it seemed to be completely content with that. This second episode was better, but I have two major…

Currently watching The X-Files and I think there's at least 5 bottle episodes per season. I actually didn't notice them in other series before I started watching such a long, expensive series. Some of them work, such as "Ice," but others are downright awful…like "Space." I could probably talk about how terrible…

I'm not sure if it counts if the only suitable reaction is trying to find whatever is playing Imagine Dragons just to turn it off.

I found the implication of rape to be shocking, too, but I don't see how it qualifies as bad writing. Rape is genuinely terrifying and using it worked. It's not like this is the first show to ever use it. In Firefly's best episode, "Objects in Space," the threat of rape is even more explicit. Of course this was no…

I hate being the one, but I thought it could have been worse. Sure, it wasn't great. Or even "good," really. But it was so much better than the absolutely horrid 4th season that it *seemed* good. There were bad moments, sure. Lydia's banshee fighting was ridiculous. I found myself imaging how those who make this show…

I hate this video because it makes me want a hedgehog again. I didn't think anything could make me want to put myself through such a painful, terrible smelling situation again.

I mean, I guess it would make sense that EL James would do exactly what Stephanie Meyer did after ending her incredibly successful but objectively terrible book series.

Sometimes when I'm listening to "Dogs" I get really into it, but other times it feels almost too personal for me. It's an objectively great song, but it's also something you'd never want to come up on shuffle when you're listening to music with…anyone.
