Wow now that’s how you make a rap video.

I do love the fact that he is very in your face authentically him at all times, instead of trying to be whatever these guys they are making over would find acceptable. As a character, I like him. As a person, I think he is exhausting.

Counterpoint: There is no reason to ever put Greek yogurt into guacamole at any time. Same goes for peas in macaroni and cheese.

I ship Antoni/Avocado.

You perfectly summed up how I felt about this series. Very skeptical at first, cringy “political” moments, and yet I cried so much, and wanted to hug them all by the end. I hope for the next season they also apply their eye to some women too. It feels weird to me in this moment to still focus predominantly on straight…

“I can’t wait to get into more debates on whether or not Antoni can actually cook.”

Buffy the tv show was actually a reboot of a bad film, so that supports your theory.

i’ll keep saying this til i’m blue in the face:
reboot bad things, not good things

Seriously? If we’ve learned anything from Buffy S6 is that you don’t bring things back from the dead...

I disagree. I think The Neverending Story is just as good now as when I watched it as a 7 year old. I grew up watching that, along with The Princess Bride, and Labyrinth. They were my favorite movies when I was a child, and still are now even though I’m pushing 40.

I think my biggest problem with the adaptation was that it entirely removed L’Engle’s core anti-authoritarian message and essentially turned it into a very typical “just believe in yourself!” narrative for the movie. I think they didn’t trust their audience, like you’ve said. But I feel like now, more than ever, we…

I viewed some of the girls I dated as trophies, not as a thing to show off, but as a reflection of my self-worth.
“See, I’m with a pretty girl. Pretty is a valuable commodity, so I must have something equally valuable even though I hate myself. Validation!”
So I was always in a rush to be in a relationship without…

I think our biggest problem was that we saw girls as trophies rather than people going through even worse shit than we were. I know that if I could do everything over again, I would have been MUCH more respectful and validating towards the girls and women I encountered. That’s why parents are so important and why it’s…

I remember being a 15 year old boy and feeling I was “competing” with 30-something men for 15 year old girls. I’d be talking up a girl my age, then some older guy would come along with promises of booze, clubs, having a car and not being a adolescent doofus.
At the time, I just presumed it was normal because 1) At 15…

Or raise your hand if you thought you were one of those mature girls when you were 15 and would flirt with your teacher and relish in the attention he gave you. But now looking back realize he should have shut that shit down.

Exactly. Just settting the limit at 15 without corresponding Romeo/Juliet restrictions just says “hey creepy 45 year olds - just make sure she’s 15 before you start rubbing her back and telling her how mature she is for her age.” *shudder*.

Raise your hand if you were a 15 year old girl who was constantly pestered by older men. The fathers of the kids you babysat for pouring you a drink. Your friends’ fathers staring at your tits or walking in on you in the shower. Your male teachers dropping hints. Strangers pulling over as you walked home from school.

Ugh, 15 still seems really young. I can’t believe the age of 13 was being considered. :(

Still can’t get over Tessa & Scott.

Season 1 was fine but hated everyone (except the roommate Birdy). Season 2, I could barely make it through the first episode. It was literally everyone standing around just saying “isn’t this crazy? this is so crazy right now.”
