I did a month long study abroad during senior year (Jan 2005). I'm definitely no expert but it was very beautiful, the definition of a developing nation. The cities, like Accra the capital, had hustle and bustle but once we went into the more rural Volta region, it looked similar to the villages in this video. Hadn't…

Just happy this controversy isn't another BS "OMG, look at his lyrics!" pearl-clutch…

Maybe this reflects poorly on me but once he started that sentence I assumed that he would say something about Hector's race. While it may not be #1, I feel like Hector is on the shortlist of names that can be used as cultural short hand for an ethnicity. See also: Tyrone for Black men.

*Cue funky guitar lick

"Shawshank Level", definitely stealing that one.

It had a touch of Peter Pan to it. An emotionally immature kid being confronted with the fact of life: People move on, the world does not revolve around you.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned for CBV. I didn't know about Kong Island but between this movie and that terrible looking Christmas Office Party movie (clearly marketing decided to just keep the working title), I'm like "Why?" His portrayal of Cochran was excellent, why these garbage roles?

Agreed, best type of doc: well-researched, visually interesting, solid conclusion.

Yes.

You should listen to Bruno Mars' "24K Gold". I don't mean that as a diss but that album is a full on late 80s/early 90s pastiche that you may have been anticipating here.

I'm confused, should we simply keep bringing up lyrics he wrote from 4-9 years ago (depending on which song you're quoting) and ignore any growth shown as an artist (and possibly as an adult)?
To paraphrase the great Allen Iverson, we're talking about lyrics, not actions, but lyrics.

All the kids have grown up but do the same stuff, the gay couple still barely kiss each other but are somehow madly in love. Sofia Vergara still has an accent etc…

So the problem is solved and we don't ever have to talk about math again?

I've always thought of them as the closest things to real life Hobbits. Even more so after that "not swimmers, we're burrowers" line.

Rosa's face after each line was equally great. Obviously much has been written about pseudo-family dynamics in workplace comedies (see: The Office U.S. and Parks & Rec) but the sister vibes between Santiago and Diaz (and Gina at times) are wonderful…

"Taller, thinner Dennis Franz": So a completely different person?

Same. But I can see her thinking that it was a way for Big Boi to get a shot in on behalf of his friend.

I kinda want to see Mike Yard and Deon Cole from "Black-ish" in a show together. Maybe have him guest appear on "Black-ish" as Charlie's brother?

Yeah, not enough credit given to the exchange between Paula and Sunil. The "mom farm" line was perfect balance of melancholy and humor.

Hahaha
