Scrolling through their post history... I’m gon say...  the former, but with enough mustard on it to claim the later when need be.

Good for her for getting out of that situation, and good for her for talking about it and telling other women.  She’s got guts.

While watching the film, I thought despite the Canadian-Chinese veneer, this story could just as easily have been about a girl of Jewish or Italian heritage. Heck, apart from the menstrual period and Boy Band aspects, this story rang true to me, being a male of mostly German and Lithuanian background.

What did you find unsubtle? I found it thematically rich with interesting dimensions on the characters’ motivations.

World historians date the modern eras (early and late) from the 1400s to the 1900s. We are currently living in the post-modern era. U.S. historians would call anything post WWII the modern era. More colloquially, I would consider of anything in my lifetime to be modern, and I’m 55. Anyway, just a giggle, not a guffaw.

I also want to say a few words about the animation style and quality. Setting the human characters aside for a moment, some of the scenes featured the most photo realistic animation I have ever seen. A post credits sequence looked so real I at first thought it was a filmed sequence. The animations of food looked…

The mom is there. She’s there. I saw her. I am her.

Those twin Tatooine suns can be brutal.

This is Alec Guinness in like 1969, so no, it doesn’t seem that odd.

“It just felt like, for us, it was time to move on and get excited and terrified about building something else—building lots of something elses.”

Not just ads for House of the Dragon, but ads for any product could only benefit from this disclaimer. “Benioff and Weiss were not involved in any way, shape or form in the making of the Shinehardt Wig Company’s summer catelog.” It’s the new “gluten-free”.

They should put this in the ads.

I think the idea is that there doesn’t need to be so much hay generated over dumbass hott takes that amount to “old man yells at cloud.”

This. I love Pete and even though his dating Kim is generally disappointing, I’m crossing my fingers he gets out from that family’s death grip before they do permanent damage.

Sigh. I know. I want to like him. He seems like a decent human, and actor. But lately his star shines brightly only here and there.

i like him, i think he’s very talented, and by all accounts he seems like a very nice guy, but keegan michael-key pretty much only shows up in stinkers. (bit more leeway on tv, but across the board the movies he’s in suck.)

Hey folks. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here for all the kind words, and also for reading what I’ve written at The A.V. Club these past nine years. I know I wasn’t always the most consistent presence in the comments, even before the Kinja transition, but I dipped in fairly regularly, and for…

There are a lot of reasons why I take my classes at the YMCA, but to sum up in one word it is because it is Real. Real people, realistic instructors, realistic expectations. All shapes and sizes and ages. My first YMCA yoga instructor many moves and states ago was an old hippie who taught what I later learned is…
