Okay, either this review was paid for (and given that no one has heard of the distributor and after this film comes out, no one ever will, so maybe not) or you actually liked it. I’m not quite sure what’s worse.

Let’s not lose perspective, we’re talking about luxury entertainment here. Piracy isn’t your only option, your main option is to just not play the game if you don’t like its price or monetisation. I’m saying this both as a former game developer and as someone who pirated a lot in my past: you’re not entitled to take…

You’re not alone. I loved it too. 

The Golden Age of Television began with that episode of Frasier where Niles makes the half-court shot, and ended right afterwards.

I liked it

Me too. I’m here over on my own little island not far away, but we probably shouldn’t try to make contact because the waters are infested with haters.

I do get why people don’t like it, and personally I’m fine with this series moving on without it - the video game Alien Isolation kept the first film’s chunkier retro…

*alone on my island*

Late stage capitalism is destroying our world, and one of the greatest obstacles to moving on to something better is people citing Soviet Russia or Venezuela as exemplars of the alternative.

You say that like America doesn’t have the same things today. We call it “prison labor” so we can sleep at night, but it’s still a gulag. Not to mention the slave wages paid to undocumented workers in meat packing factories.

One thing that stands out to me about The Sopranos is the way conflicts often don’t come to a head. We have certain expectations in a mob show, but on a show that is regularly violent, it’s surprising how often violence is not the inevitable outcome. The “clues” viewers are always on the lookout for don’t necessarily b…

That’s because at least at the Globes, his jokes were punching up, if nothing else.

Agreed. His jokes were in poor taste and made the show actually entertaining to watch.

I was very disappointed with Poor Things. It was certainly ‘different’ but this is not a feminist film. Throughout, still a woman objectified, and being ‘free’ sexually does not necessarily equal empowerment, yet that’s basically all that Bella does.
It was a little too much like Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, only with…

The whole scene is brilliant. Just a giant open “Fuck you” to the people who want these movies to be nothing but a franchise blowjob full of cameos. And it really says something about how respected both Stewart and Xavier are that even in a sequence all about how the heroes of this universe are a bunch of…

Gervais is still funny. He’s not wrong that people now are thin skinned, over sensitive, and get off on being outraged. This comment thread is exhibit A. Although he (and chapelle)-should admit “being cancelled” has had zero affect on them, except for giving them more material.

I think the UK The Office worked well because you do see Brent begin to wake up in the final moments of the final episode. By telling Finch to go to hell, he’s essentially realizing that seeking approval through punching down is an empty existence. I would bet anything that was a Merchant suggestion, not a Gervais…

I don’t see her as a straightforward heroic character. I see her as a deeply traumatized one. That’s what’s driving her denial of her past. She both recognizes the need to defend herself but refuses to acknowledge why. I guess I don’t see the show idealizing her as much as you see feel they are doing. Maybe at some…

Season three is a masterpiece upon rewatch. The most profound season, of an always watchable series.

The scene when Dot dropped the “Aw, Jeez” accent with her MIL is when I really got excited.
