What we learned is that many White people lied. We have learned that many Americans, our neighbors, our cousins, our friends, so called “allies”, “suburban moms”, “moderates”, “independents” are lying cowards who lie to gullible pollsters. The dishonesty and the cowardice is very much on brand for those that don’t have…

For whatever its worth I really agree with the AV club’s article on Seduced and The Vow. I got the sense that Mark withheld material that would make him look bad and a recent interview with the creators suggests a closeness that prevented objectivity. In comparison Seduced follows India’s experience as a narrative…

If you can watch the one on Starz, check it out. I’ve found it to be a much better documentary. India sounds very rehearsed in some comments but they have a lot of cult experts sharing their opinion and explaining the process of brain washing people which was interesting for me. Also, you can see in the Starz…

Let’s make that then kill off the Black female lead in the second season when she asks for equal pay. 

Despite how obvious this pairing is, i kinda don’t think this is the right pairing of goth elements? Burton at his best is too melancholy for the Addams’ gleeful, loving transgressiveness, and at his worst is just a guy who likes spiky spirals. I think Jhonen Vasquez would be a way better fit for the property.

Idris Elba
Octavia Spencer
Chris Rock
Lupita N’yongo

I love her.  She and India, and maybe Bonnie - are the only people who have my empathy in the entire documentary. Catherine is a badass, and gorgeous to boot. 

Should lead to some fun arguments about whether or not Cleopatra is white. Do your Ptolemaic Dynasty homework now so you’re ready.

The trailer starts like...four or five hours in to the nine hour series? And has plenty of footage from the very last two episodes. Like, for me the beginning parts with the world going to hell and people wandering around it deserted while Flagg gathers his people, those were the best parts before King had no idea…

“ I forgot how both of them start so strong and finish up a mess.”

Just reread the book (I last read when I was 12, nearly 30 years ago) also rewatched the 1994 miniseries. I forgot how both of them start so strong and finish up a mess.

I’ll say this for the Walking Dead, it remains the only post-apocalypse on a TV-budget in which the sets look convincing. This looks so...clean. 

I was an 80s teenage girl who loved both Star Wars and Dirty Dancing, but I can kind of see this.

Why he couldn’t just get a divorce/abandon his kids (while leaving every one alive) like so many other deadbeats do is beyond me.

Until I saw the documentary, I thought he’d just snapped.

I’m so bummed I didn’t have room to go into Leti and Ruby’s scenes in this episode. But I think you are making some great points. 

I mean, *I* was kind of FUCK THAT GUY bc I’m angry at the patriarchy, the white patriarchy, rapists, etc - it channeled my rage as well. also, who knows what kind of violence he’d already put upon black bodies. I know we’re supposed to turn the other cheek and shit, but you can’t ask Black Women to continue to go high…

I think this was actually really interestingly worked through between Leti and Ruby in the episode.

I felt that message in their interchange was, “yes, rage at Emmet Till, mourn him, but do not pay in your own sanity.”

Montrose talks about the rite of passage that Dee “must” experience, but the scene between Leti and…

The choreography of the Topsy twins was just so awesome and freaky at the same time. 

If wishing some of these selfish assholes could take a 6 month jaunt in MS-land is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
