She’s calling it frivolous now, looking back. I imagine when she got engaged it seemed more serious because she was in the high of the whole thing.

Hey at least they’re not United, otherwise known as the “We Kill Your Pets” airline. 

For me personally season 1 had a lot of style but had trouble on substance, though it’s been long enough since I watched that I have trouble remembering the details beyond having trouble caring after Elektra joined House Evangelista. I’m not against a good redemption arc but it felt cheap to instantly make her one of…

I think your alternative reading is the correct one, but you’re being more than a little bit too harsh. I don’t want to put movie critics up on a pedestal by any means because every single one has their own flaws, but aggregate crowd rating systems don’t really have a better record either? IMDB especially gets its…

Enchanted is for my money her most impressive acting performance. The script is so dumb but she makes it work by putting 110% into being a real life Disney princess. 

I feel like this would be a B or B+ for like early Archer, but this episode is probably the most fun I’ve had with any of these coma seasons. I feel like this show works the best when they just dump the entire main cast into a situation where they can bicker with each other. So I’m optimistic that this season made the…

It’s especially funny because the original review they link is like over the top positive. My guess is it’s because critics are more willing to concede the flaws of his version of King Kong, considering for all of its artful craftmanship it still takes a longer time to tell the same story as the original without…

I think it was foreshadowed a bit in the way she dealt with sexual harrassment both at Conde Nest and Pastry Pete’s, as well as her reluctance to fully commit to her relationship with Speckle. Throughout all of those arcs it’s evident she has issues with trust and separating herself from the flock, which got some…

I’m conflicted about my feelings on this show versus Bojack. It’s hard not to compare them because of the similar animation styles and thematic content, but since Tuca and Bertie is more episodic and the characters are more sympathetic it has a much lighter touch than Bojack does. So on the one hand, part of me wishes…

Just like how Pocahontas has aged like a corpse in a swamp, despite incredibly earnest attempts to create a narrative where the white colonists are basically the villain.

I’m guessing it might be a reference to Joe Biden’s anti-busing positions back in the day? It’s never a position he totally supported with all his heart, but that’s almost worse because it shows that he might be willing to take straight up racist positions to maintain voter support.

~*semi-ironic concern-trolling-trolling post about how the Simpsons cares more about offending gamers than Indian Americans*~

Shorter seasons would be a great start but IMO the biggest thing they need to do is bring back the 2 season showrunner rotation they used to do in the earlier years. Al Jean has his good sides but almost every time he’s handed the wheel to someone else the quality and freshness spikes back up.

That makes sense! I only vaguely recalled the Silmarillion as “prequel lore book containing everything that happened before the Hobbit” and forgot the divisions within it. I’ll have to reread at some point, since I enjoyed it a lot but have forgotten most of the original stories asides from the creation myth and Beren…

Isn’t that part of the Silmarillion? It’s been over a decade since I really knew the details of Middle Earth stuff, but that’s what the wiki says.

So wait, is this really a Silmarillion TV show? 

In the grand scheme of things this is probably an agree-to-disagree situation, since we obviously have different taste if you call Family Guy “equally brilliant”. I don’t think it’s a bad show, but it doesn’t really make me laugh either. I was just saying that the Simpsons and money other shows have always made…

It gets a little overwrought when people complain about how the Simpsons isn’t good anymore, but this just feels like a contrarian take for the hell of it. Especially when you say something like “I just wish that The Simpsons would go all the way and just do cut-aways.” as if the Simpsons hasn’t always had some…

ive never seen an episode of documentary now but i will put good money on the original da pennebaker being the best movie about music possibly ever

BOTH of the documentaries have conflicted loyalties, since the Hulu one paid Billy McFarland for an interview and has him and his associates making an unconvincing case for why he’s already paid his dues and shouldn’t go to jail. Since both FuckJerry and Billy McFarland/Fyre acted in deceptive ways in building up the…
