If you work under the yoke of an “at will” state, I have no problem with people quiet-quitting or ghosting.

“I don’t need to be in the MCU, I’m Nic Cage.”

I did a quick poll of all the women I know who watch The Last of Us (I am also a woman) after reading this line in the review. Not a single one of us got “gentle” and “fatherly” from David from the get-go. Creepy and manipulative, yes. Sinister but trying to hide it, yes. But not sincerely gentle or fatherly.

Something to remember: when Heche had a public relationship with Ellen DeGeneres around 97, it all but killed her career. The story I heard was that Harrison Ford personally intervened on her behalf to get her the part in Six Days, Seven Nights, because the studio didn’t want to cast her.

Should have put it in quotes because it is such a cliche. I pretty much wholly agree with you. But Dunham gets REALLY shit on in a way some of her, yes, less talented compatriots don’t. A lot of dudes get ignored while Dunham gets piled on. Almost like there’s something else hiding in the criticism. A permission to…

It’s interesting because Girls is just as heightened and stylized as any other show of that era of prestige TV, but it doesn’t necessarily get discussed that way. There’s a gender element to that difference, but the more interesting thing (to me, at least) is our fixation on crime. Girls isn’t a violent show, and it…

I feel truly insane reading any coverage/commentary of this, it’s so wildly different depending where I am. It scares me how confident everyone is that the facts are on their side, considering a huge amount of them must be wrong.

Ugh, I feel like I need a shower whenever I hear about anything connected to this whole business. It’s pavlovian at this point.

She is on tape admitting to hitting him to stop him drunkenly crushing her toes against a door. Wow. How abusive of her. And oh shit, she hasn’t been able to give that money to charity amid being sued repeatedly by her ex. I forgot that defending yourself in multiple libel and defamation trials is totally free!

Jesus, I cannot wait until this Marvel thing dies down.

Years ago, I was unaware that she was a Xenu-worshipper, but I kept wondering how she was landing these roles in Mad Men, West Wing, etc.

scientologists, especially celeb scientologists, don’t seem to have a firm grasp on the public’s concerns over their religion. they know that people hate them and call them a cult but don’t seem to get why.

Because she wants to hide the fact that she’s in an extremist cult from people who don’t know it.

Learn English. They is a very common singular pronoun, and has been long before trans folk started using it.

Or arguably it’s Phil Burbank’s assumption of what a real cowboy does. Most of the other characters do not. George Burbank certainly doesn’t. It’s almost like that whole aesthetic might have been part of the point.

Netflix is worldwide and they’re masters of cross-culture content. They managed to do the impossible which is get Americans to watch dubbed or subtitled foreign TV shows. That was almost unheard of before, you’d never see something like Squid Game or Money Heist (god that name..) on American cable. They do spend a lot…

When Jeevan says, “I was scared...all the time” my heart just broke. 

Yeah, I have to think that if he wasn’t telling the truth that the show would have treated him differently.  In fact, I thiiiiiink it was the little girl who Kirsten talked to who was the mad bomber.  They probably should have made that all clearer, because obvi not easy to root for a warlord with child soldiers.

Acording to Tyler, the bombings weren't his idea, but some of the other kids going rogue while he was incapacitated, IF you believe him. He's hardly trustworthy, but the show did introduce some doubt.
