Lars von Trier has never seemed like a real person to me. He seems more like a grotesque caricature of a pretentious artsy-fartsy European film director, concocted by a philistine who hates serious cinema. Or he could have been created by a postmodern novelist more interested in symbolism and dry humor than in…

Lars Von Trier is basically a neckbeard 4chan bro. Watching Nymphomaniac is like watching a catalog of all the biologically, socially and emotionally incorrect things hella sexist nerds think about women, mixed in with some misogynistic sexual fantasies. SUPER EDGY, DUDES!

This is a serious subject that deserves to be taken seriously, and I like Bjork, but why didn’t she just say “I’m not saying who it is, but it rhymes with Mars von Schmear”.

I am such a big fan of Björk that I didn’t watch this film because I didn’t want to see her get abused and destroyed (I only heard about the film so I may have that wrong) and I heard she didn’t enjoy filming. In fact I don’t know if I have watched an entire film by Von Trier because of what his actresses go…

I know you’re not supposed to judge the artist by his art,

On a related note, Von Trier is an overrated director too.

If only some cunning sleuth could connect the dots to figure out who the perpetrator was. If only this puzzle didn’t have so many missing pieces...

Incredible, Dancer in the Dark is now even more depressing to watch. I didn’t think it was possible but here we are.

Cam feels like she doesn’t belong anywhere at the beginning of the last episode. She leaves Europe, Joe’s apartment is empty, she’s dressed wrong for the party but then we are surprised to find out that she belongs exactly at Donnas party- it’s for women in tech. And she tries to run away again but she can’t (falls in…

Joe’s other girlfriend in season 2 was an academic in the humanities.

It was Dale Butler, the IBM guy from the first handful of episodes.

The most powerful and terrifying four words in our language. 

Hey, if you made it to the post-finale before seeing that spoiler, you’re lucky. I caught “SPOILER: MAJOR DEATH THIS SEASON” two weeks before it started.

So bittersweet to have a series’ best episode be it’s last. You could enjoy it as a standalone piece without having seen anything that came before.

When the sign lit up, tears started shooting out of my eyes. It was such an unexpected flourish for this show, yet so perfect . And Joe’s smile at the end! To see him at peace with himself was so damn good to see. God, this finale. So many little unexpected moments, all borne of love. Just a fabulous, fabulous ending.

That was beautiful and sad, yet uplifting, all at once. I feel honored to be among the small but loyal band of viewers who stuck with this show from beginning to end.

I had written something long and heartfelt, and then was logged out...and now it’s gone. So, in short -

No hyperbole, that was one of the most beautiful endings to a series that I’ve ever seen. It will stick with me for a long time.

Haley’s review of Star Trek: Generations was succinct, hilarious and spot-on.

I started sobbing when the imaginary Phoenix logo appeared over Cameron and Donna’s heads, and didn’t stop until Joe broke into a serene, finally-at-peace smile while surveying his classroom. I hope shows like Halt and Catch Fire become the rule, not the exception.
