Not sure that's in my territory.

"I'm ugly, I tell ya! My proctologist tried to stick his finger in my mouth!"

I get that Feldman has had a hell of a life, and I dearly hope that he finds peace and restoration. That said, I'm getting tired of being tut-tutted for thinking Feldman's antics are crap. If someone had stolen these videos from his phone, those who viewed and mocked would rightly be called bullies—but nobody…

That's been bugging the hell out of me with this entire project. This (and the Handlen article) both take the line "why won't anyone think about Feldman's feelings?" It kills me, because that's basically his line about it, too, word-for-word, even when he releases a video with a bunch of women standing around in…

I've lived in both the "North" and the "South" and it's doubly irritating because the northerners are typically just quieter / more hypocritical about it. I had the most open conversations I've ever had about race in the south, in a crowd evenly represented by races. That, umm, doesn't happen here in Grand Rapids,…

See, now this makes me want to play this one more than anything else I've read. Sometimes it seems like the greatest strength of open-world games - the ability to immersively be somewhere you aren't, doing things you can't do - isn't always used that well by the games themselves. We could be in any city—so how many…

I have a mild case myself, and I'm sympathetic for sure. It makes things that seem very "normal" to most people deeply exhausting, if nothing else.

Yeah, no doubt. The reputation (and some of the stories here) are pretty toxic. But I really enjoyed this interview, at least.

That sounds decent of you, but like you said, it does also sounds like iffy logic to clueless outsider me. Stay safe!

Why take her back at all? I mean, I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but just from what you listed here:

Wow, really? I was struck by the exact opposite, reading this. He seemed unusually relaxed and accessible to me.

Law and Order was good enough that the phrase "moderately clever, reasonably entertaining courtroom drama" basically instantly has to be markedly better than an average episode of L&O to be worth my time, much less money. There's so much L&O out there that it's easy to overlook how consistent the show really was.

He's a straight-up supervillain. The show hasn't established his rules yet, which gives him either a nightmarish quality or else throws the viewer right out of the show's tone, apparently. But yeah, much agreed: he's not really the dramatic focus here, more of an existential threat.

Completely agree on every point. I experience Cage as pensive and wary, with scenes like the Crispus Attucks attack existing as an exception to a rule of cautious non-involvement. I found it made several scenes (such as him running from the Judas-armed cops) resonate much more strongly with me, since he's, like, a…

I don't see the tropes for the three women on display as clearly as the reviewer does. Mariah's flashback is to sexual abuse, sure—but it's a sexual abuse tacitly allowed by the mother figure she has steadfastly resisted becoming, her entire life up to the point the show started. There's a real fall from grace…

Great take. My first few episodes in, I groused to friends about this show having the dumbest cops ever put to screen, what with them quoting Benjamin Franklin and SUPER DETECTIVE-ing a crime scene when the fricking murder victim had called a known mob boss's second in command from his cell phone on-scene, after his…

This article… I mean, it's exactly what it says on the tin, I have no right to be confused, there's no deception or misdirection involved, etc. etc. etc. It's just an actor discussing the right type of wood to use for various projects. That's it. All righty then.

Replying as a second upvote. Society has changed so much, not just in general from when they were writing, but in terms of the relationship of the SF writer and society at large. The nerds really won the game, as far as this one goes. A lot of these writers got their start writing for pulps and magazines that…

This article made me check three times to make sure it's not April 1. What the crap what the crap what the crap…
