I thought that was sort of the point—this obnoxious young Stanford student views Mark Zuckerberg as the "hero" with absolutely no perspective on what the movie's actually saying. But maybe I'm just reading my snark into the show

He's actually said he wants to make more in a few interviews and I hope he does! I enjoyed Get Out, but I think there's room for him to refine what he's tryna do with that style.

that doesn't really seem like what he said at all? While I have no idea what direction McBride and Green are going in, he specifically alludes to the first Halloween by saying he thinks that Myers hiding in plain sight is scarier than him stalking people relentlessly. Also, I think we should all give comedians more of

Would you mind elaborating on that a little more? It sounds interesting and I can see some of it, but I'm not sure I've been watching closely enough to get how Hawley is really laying those themes out

Oh I sure don't think that, but I can hope

Obama won with a wave of popular support and as someone commented above, that support was never mobilized when it easily could have been, especially in some of the red states Obama won. For a grassroots organizer, he really didn't do much organizing, either for the legislation or for the party. I think the issue is

I mean assuming that Obama just "couldn't" push more aggressively for socialized medicine is wild for anyone observing his presidency. I'm overall pleased with how he did, but there were a whole host of issues on which he played it safe and refused to go all the way, mostly to save political face. I was just face to

If she had actually died from drug addiction/overdose, I would be just as mad. It shows a flippancy and dismissiveness to those issues that I'm really just sick of. His favored presidential candidate has appointed an AG who wants to ratchet up a drug war that virtually everybody who knows anything about these issues

I mean you can take that choice as preachy, but I think a show like Atlanta does something similar in a subtle way. I have no idea if it'll be handled well here, but I guess we'll find out in a week or so.

You nailed it. This is what people really don't seem to get, criticizing a work or a review simply for addressing politics or for the political positions you associate with the author is just boring and doesn't actually grapple at all with the qualities of the work itself. There are people on here criticizing the

Well the review directly addresses those concerns, explaining that the show avoids the weird artificiality of the film by focusing on the characters and their experiences rather than the message. Also maybe you think the term microaggressions is overkill, but when you think about it in more personal terms, avoiding

Yea, it seems like the producers had actually known beforehand and agreed to keep it out of the show. When this happened, they decided to air it.
This article does a good job explaining: http://www.vox.com/culture/…

I think it'll be another 10 years before we see less movies that rely on it as a crutch. It's getting to the point where it's so ubiquitous, if it's bad and overdone, it's gonna be called out. I'm of the mind that it's stupid to be diametrically opposed to things like CGI or digital cameras—these are tools of the

Ok Mad Max has plenty of CGI, but I think the thing that impresses people about it is the amount of actual stunt work, live explosions, etc. There were actually people on poles jumping around, that's wild! Obviously a lot of the landscapes in a dystopian fantasy like that are gonna be chock full of CGI, but what we

Shosh is petty about it, but she's not wrong about how toxic their friendships have become. I've gotten to the point in my life where I can end unhealthy or unwanted friendships pretty easily, but I've definitely been in a position where I'm so mad/sick of people that I would act that way after cutting them off. Then

Adam regularly acts pretty bonkers if you really think about it. All his freakouts and temper tantrums and violent sex and walking out of auditions and yelling at people and punching holes in walls and breaking an ENTIRE apartment before having sex with Jessa. So I can buy him acting off the walls, but I agree that

Ok, you offered a psychological explanation for Jane's actions, so I was wondering what you're reasoning is. But yeeeea, no TV shows deal with human psychology, let's say that if ya don't feel like sharing

What exactly do you mean by the plight of men… the only people I've heard use that term are MRAs

I was rewatching the earlier episodes to introduce a friend to the show and Ed's creepy staring at Abbie has been there since the beginning. Also super interesting is that Joseph is shown in a couple of quick shots watching Madeleine from a distance in unrelated shots before we even meet him, which is SUPER creepy.
