Look! A very high grade and a matching glowing review for a Gaspar Noe film of all things. Yup, Dowd hates movies. No obvious appreciation for and enjoyment of film at all. Nothing to see here, move along!

I was gonna see this anyway, but Dowd’s glowing review plus a comparison to mother! makes me even more stoked. 

I literally said to my girlfriend “this is a Very Special Episode of B99" during the one where Terry gets harassed by that asshole cop on his own street. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the episode and didn’t have any problem with how they handled it. I just find it funny that the AVC writer chose that phrase. Even the…

I completely agree.

Jimmy Fallon makes one long for the sweet release of death.

Can we just skip to that last part, please?

Yes and yes.

The lyrics are riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors??

And there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s also not unreasonable to see something like this, roll your eyes, and chalk it up to the increasingly weird way in which they seem intent on turning themselves into monkeys who will dance for money.

I think part of the problem is that people mistake the symbol (a flag) for the things it stands for (the ideals and freedoms ostensibly valued by our society). We have this weird fetish in America about things like the flag and the national anthem where the moment someone thinks those items are being disrespected,…

I only see two explanations: cultural elitism or racism

“No..........hell, no! I do believe you get your ass kicked, sayin’ something like that.”

Ha! Ultimate Dorff Face. Seriously, though, I cannot fucking believe how great he has been on this show. My gf and I always clown on him, he’s one of our go-to sources for bad acting/no-career jokes. But he has been killing it from the first episode, like he dug up some long-forgotten talent and finally decided to…

Right? Why not just adopt? Can’t really disagree, but until we see the finale it’s hard to say. There could be angles to it we just don’t know about yet. Maybe Hoyt’s daughter somehow fixated on Julie. Maybe Hoyt couldn’t adopt for legal reasons. Maybe he was feeding multiple urges and wanted to kill one child while…

I think they’ve already established the conspiracy - Hoyt and his people kidnapped Julie, and while plenty of people (Harris, for example) are aware of it, they’ve been well compensated to keep quiet. That’s a conspiracy. Re: the pink room, I think what I said before - that Hoyt may not be running the larger ring, but…

I said above that I haven’t followed the online discourse, so correct me if I’m off base. But I think S3 shares some characteristics with S1 that, even if the actual investigations dovetail, are just a little too unlikely.

I’d not read any kind of online chatter about the show until tonight but I’m glad that at least the idea of Roland being gay was noticed by someone other than myself. Not that I think he is gay or that it matters, but it occurred to me and it always makes me worry that I’m insane when something like that pops into my…

I think the only reason seeing Tom dead didn’t hit me harder was because I had no hope for him anyway. Unless the finale changes something about his arc, it’s just a brutal end to an awful situation to which there really was no decent end. Just eternal fucking hell.

It robbed this episode of all narrative tension
