I started looking for tickets less than 3 hours after they went on sale, and opening night at my theater of choice was already sold out. The early show on Friday night only had a few scattered seats available at the edges, but we managed to get good seats for the 10:30 show. Since that’s already past my wife’s…

Pink Floyd put out a song in 1994 called “Keep Talking” which has a few lines in that voice. I always assumed someone just used a synth to produce that same sound, but then found out years later that it was in fact Stephen Hawking doing a “guest vocal” for that song.

And people stating “here, here!” when they want to reinforce a point they agree with. I get why it’s confusing, since we are reading these words instead of actually hearing them, but still... 

Exactly! It was all puppies and rainbows until 2016, everyone knows that.

Human decency is graded on a curve these days.

You keep saying that the kiss was out of left field, and I keep wondering if you even watched the show this season. Max’s main interaction with any of the characters was with Lucas, and they had a steadily deepening connection. Lucas was the first to fully trust her and reveal all the shit that went down in Season 1.…

It was the culmination of a romantic subplot between two main characters. Of course it ended in a kiss, that’s just Generic TV Show Narrative 101.

I’m not saying that those things don’t happen, I’m saying that I don’t think that’s what happened here.

I’m not saying that I think those things don’t ever happen. I’m saying that I don’t think that’s what happened here.

Not to sign a legal contract or join the military, sure, but that’s not what we’re talking about. You’re saying that a teenager isn’t even allowed to have an opinion about whether something made her personally uncomfortable or not. And that’s bullshit. I’ll take her at her actual words until I have reason to believe…

So you’re completely denying her agency and manufacturing motivations for her, instead of taking her at her literal words? That’s extremely patronizing of you. You may think you’re being clever, but I think you’re just betraying your obvious bias. That’s just my opinion (and I’m older than 14, so I’m allowed to have…

No need to be a dick about it. If I had only seen the behind-the-scenes thing on Netflix without reading the actress’ comments after that interview, I’d have drawn the same conclusion.

I thought the same thing after watching that behind-the-scenes special on Netflix, but apparently that was misleading. Have you read the Indiewire interview with Sadie Sink? I’ll quote the relevant passage:

I’m normally not a big fan of documentaries, but Jodorowsky’s Dune was so brilliant (and bittersweet) it made me want to cry. Never have I more desperately wished to be a millionaire investor with a time machine!

I had an accident at age 20 that shattered my chin and tore up my face, requiring 33 stitches to sew up and I now have a steel plate on the bone of my mandible . These days the scar is completely covered up by my beard, so most folks aren’t aware of it. But when I was first recovering? I looked like Hell, especially…

Sorry, dude. I didn’t mean to bust your chops, I legitimately thought you were being facetious and I was just going along with the joke. Truth is, Alan Cumming is the bee’s knees. He’s a damn fine actor, both in comedic and dramatic roles. I’m excited about this news.

I choose to believe that Poe is just messing with us. Everyone knows that Alan Cumming is a goddamn international treasure. (Though, to be fair, he has been in a few stinkers. His individual performance has always been brilliant, no matter what kind of crap it might be framed by)

You neglected to mention his appearances in Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Josie and the Pussycats, and Spice World.

Now that you mention it, it is indeed hard to think of many co-ed kpop groups. Uhm...

Dr. Strange vs. Dormammu? Doesn’t exactly hit all the bases you described, but at least it’s in the same ballpark.
