I mean, I've been saying that because my mind is incapable of imagining such a horrible human as Donald Trump.

Weird how they haven't come to the same conclusion about Donald.

I like to focus on the fundamentals, yaknow?

With Ronda Rousey in the mix, this picture is sure to be a slam dunk!

The best part of this snark is that you can tell it's justified even if you know nothing about this case. Here's the most ridiculous part of the original post: I DID know nothing about Echols' case (now I do, but when I read through this piece and saw this comment I hadn't heard of it; born too late I suppose), but…

"Not to mention that if she really wanted to murder Kilgrave, she could hvae done that ten episodes ago."

Plus, I'm sure they will explain this in more "Marvel-scientific" detail next season, if they tackle Jessica's origins as it seems they might.

I think a fairer read has two parts: (1) Getting the opportunity to pitch a pilot is impossible, and the likelihood of that pitch going to series is minute, and every step of the way you put yourself out there in a big way to be hurt and let down, and even if you get an order you'll fight and compromise until the…

I think the sociology could have probably gone below the fold to allow for better skimming, but I respect that Noel wanted to put it front and center too.

I think this is a moment where it can definitely be two things. Because the question, "How can [a piece of media] this half-baked and generic make it to release" applies equally to the Angry Birds movie.

I think the point was "how can a show this half-baked and generic make it to series?" and the answer is because of those sociological reasons that Noel was talking about.

Right, and then those previous groups went on to be the generations that popularized the shareholder primacy myth, which in turn allowed for the increasingly psychopathic corporate culture that led to the economic crisis that we're still pulling ourselves out of.

I read that article all the way through, searching in vain for even a single sentence that said something interesting and/or new, rather than just "young people are idealistic and are expressing it using the language of the zeitgeist." AKA: Every generation ever.

This belief that you describe drives me absolutely fucking insane. I wrote a script about two male best friends, one of whom was gay, that later got rewritten (at my behest, my dialogue was garbage). During the rewrite process, I was constantly asked whether the gay character harbored secret romantic feelings for his…

I've been thinking about this, and I wonder if it was a calculated risk on Netflix's part to promote its crassest parts to generate interest from the non-media-obsessed crowd. I know I and probably many others would have watched at least the pilot no matter what, just to see what it was about. But by painting it as…

That one made me laugh a lot, and also (I think) shows off a thoughtfulness that Bill Burr has always had. I think it demonstrates the point of view that Dennis talked about in this review: a "be as good as you can be, which might not be that good" perspective.

"calling Kilgrave's fate murder is a stretch"

Interesting. I'll have to see those opinions when the episodes come out. I could definitely understand people feeling the episodes stay static, but I can't imagine it getting worse than this episode. The cringey, borderline pornographic violence in this one really puts it below the fold compared to the rest of the…

Look, you're welcome to dislike the show because you disagree with its stance on violence, but if it took you ten episodes to realize that this show was going to converge on "murder is sometimes a moral grey area" then I don't know what show you were watching.

First of all, Hope is completely mentally disturbed through terrible abuse, and if you think the show is trying to say that she made a rational choice then you must think Kilgrave is the hero or something. Second, nothing about the moment where Hope dies suggests that "peace" is anywhere in the future for any of…
