yes, but he CHOSE to contact her ex-boyfriend, in other words, asked her male partner to verify the things she said were bothering her, and then brought it up again in an interview in the vein of “I asked her male partner if she was upset and he said she was not upset, and his opinion overrules her firsthand account”.…

no mention for American Pastoral?

For me, the line that defines it all was Maeve’s “vengeance is just another one of their altars, and I’m well off my knees” when she meets Dolores. Dolores’ arc this season has been all about destroying the park, continuing to engage with the humans, etc where Maeve doesn’t even have time humans at this point. Dolores…

I find Dolores is more resolute than robotic, but Maeve is soooooooo much more interesting than Dolores right now, and I think that’s by design. Dolores is Ford/Arnold’s (aka human-manufactured) revolution, Maeve is the true revolution.

the best is Pete Davidson playing himself on weekend update

If you think I’ve forgotten when you argued in defense of Woody Allen and started a 10 person dogpile against me when I called him a child molester because “we don’t know the truth”, think again. So you were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but Schumer is a monster because of a few terrible jokes? just…

well, she did have the GALL to perform a monologue about PERIODS (gross) and WOMEN AGING (disgusting) and WEDDINGS (that’s girl stuff!) while being a slightly overweight woman. how fucking dare she?

I mean that makes sense, why would you tell your citizens about their special powers when one of them just used those powers to take out a ruler? (from their perspective) but I’ve been operating under the assumption that Peridot’s powers were unknown even to the Diamonds, and that her being able to move metal is…

so spot on about Rose!PinkDiamond. I wonder if her Rose Quartz persona started with Marie Antoinette-levels of playacting? Her version of “pretend milkmaid” was putting on a Quartz soldier costume and kicking it with her own gems? now that I think of it, this throws Garnet’s whole Rose backstory episode into a totally…

“A hundred. And Twenty. THOUSAND DOLLARS.”

same here. the effects really helped sell me on the father/daughter dynamic. there’s a great little moment when they do Gamora’s flashback where, right as the shooting starts, Thanos like ever so slightly nudges her head away to keep her from seeing. I love when they pay attention to the details like that and get them…

I didn’t really see Gavin as a victim of ruthlessness, it felt more like comeuppance? after seeing him all disappointed about a humane working environment and then suggesting the children from their daycare center should be working the factory lines I was actively rooting against Gavin, and seeing the factory owner…

they only have dissenters working the nuclear radiation cleanup, and they can’t exactly hand the keys to a bulldozer over to rebellious prisoners. it’s like yeah, there are probably better tools and radiation suits they could be using, but that would sort of defeat the point of making this the ultimate punishment. it…

the scene of emily moving through the airport was so tense for me. one of the great things about the handmaid’s tale show is it’s making the perspective of a refugee or someone fleeing violent conflict accessible and understandable to an american audience. there was a taste of this in season one when Moira arrives in…

they kept the kitten!!!

yeah kind of weird how we have different prisons in america for rich people and poor people. Rikers Island vs. Fort Dix, what’s the difference, ya know? rich people in one, poor in the other. don’t get pissed when they’re banging down your door screaming “EAT THE RICH” when we all basically ignore shit like this.

as someone who lived in Florida for years, I can attest, cuban coffee is in a league of its own. I have personally tasted cortaditos that are better than sex.

can we also heap scorn on Barefoot Contessa for suggesting I pick things up at my local cheese shop? and saying things like “I just can’t stand the taste of vanilla extract, I always use Madagascar vanilla beans but if you can’t find them extract is fine”? the NERVE.
