I’m very uncomfortable with “autism-coded” characters - specifically other human beings (it’s hard to call Drax neuro-divergent if his personality traits are neuro-typical for his species, for example). There’s still a lot of misunderstanding about autism among laypeople, and even well-meaning people can be…

I’m looking forward to it

They probably quit quietly just like everyone else.

You’d be losing your watch history, your saved titles to watch later, and whatever Hulu supposedly knows about what you do or don’t like. Frankly, none of those things would be big losses to me; but if Hulu cancelled my account because I share my login with my stepdad, I would feel too antagonized to try to sign back…

Oh fuck you, Bob.

I interpreted all of the grounded/alternate explanations as the characters reassuring themselves, not the writers telling the audience that the grounded explanation was always right. In real life, there is no non-diegetic music telling us how to feel, and everything we see is from our own perspective, and that’s how I…

Hey, it’s called copaganda for a reason.

Whitney was pretty unlikable, but in the end Asher felt like a very tragic character. He’s clearly been bullied and struggled to fit in his entire life (judging from his dialogue with Dougie) and he struck me as the only character committed to changing himself. I’ve seen some people criticize him for only trying to be…

I feel like when the power at the fire station went out *just* as Asher was about to see whether Dougie handed Tonya something in the CC video was supernatural. Yes, one of the firefighters threw out a line blaming it on the solar power generator, but at that moment?

I’ve thought about that, and I’m not convinced that it would have been worth it. Asher would be sacrificing his firm grip on the branch to show his legs dangle in the air, and run the risk that the firefighters dismiss it as him just stretching his lower body into the sky. To really show that gravity is pulling him…

Cherry tomato boys

I’ve always wondered this myself. I guess you never know unless you ask.

Glad I played through it years ago. Great game.

Margot Robbie has a really good chance of winning an Academy Award for acting in the future (and a non-zero percent chance of winning for producing Barbie this year). She’s been nominated twice already and has a pretty good eye for picking projects. I doubt she even went into Barbie thinking she’d be nominated for her…

I’d still love to see Nolan go back to his smaller-budget roots and make something as intimate and small as something like The Prestige (which is really only “small” in comparison to his blockbuster work, but cost tens of millions of dollars more than Memento).

That’s 45 minutes you could be doing anything else

Yeah, I don’t myself getting rid of Prime anytime soon.

I feel like people were immediately delving into what it meant over on Reddit, but maybe that’s just the purpose of Reddit.

I didn’t get the sense watching the last season that anything was unresolved. I’m sure the writers and producers had ideas, but I was satisfied with where Season 4 ended. They also claim that they weren’t making it up as they went along but seasons 3 & 4 absolutely felt that way, and I say that as a Westworld…

It’s been ten years? Damn, I feel old…
