I don’t really have a hard time figuring out what’s going on in Westworld anymore. I guess last season I had to read extra articles to help me figure it out, but this season is relatively straightforward. I was surprised the reviewer here was so bewildered by the final scene; they spent so long on those scenes with…

Somehow the people in that image up top look CGI. I had to look up that show to confirm that it is indeed live action.

This is apoor man’s too many coks

When I went to Riot Fest last year a bunch of bands played through their classic albums... which didn’t really have any effect on me since I didn’t realize it at the time and they weren’t bands I was very familiar with. I was kind of confused when The Mighty Mighty Bosstones played The Impression That I Get in the…

No women? So that’s why they call it Manchester.

That would be a dream come true for me, so Lou Reed can go fuck himself, except he can’t because he’s dead.

Our homeless problem is especially magical!

This is why the rent is so high.

Another example of this is the show Humans. One big theme here is how the general (or at least white and British) public’s warranted fear of automation taking away jobs relates to its less warranted fear of immigrants taking away their jobs. There’s also a lot about what it means to be human, naturally. I haven’t seen…

I read the beginning of this review’s headline and I regret to inform you that Emily Blunt isn’t all that.

Because his daughter patched him up with future magic healing devices after he almost died.

I shall now ramble at length about the podcasts I’ve been listening to.

All the cool people had stuff on Stitcher Premium so I tried Stitcher and it kind of sucked. I’m much happier with the Player FM app.

If saying something awful and regretting it terribly doesn’t fit perfectly with the notion of “punk in drublic” then I don’t know what does.

I watched Cameron Esposito’s Rape Jokes and I thought it was quite good! There seems to be an army of people around here who comment on every article about her to complain that she’s not funny and the only reason The AV Club keeps talking about her is because of Affirmative Action or whatever. There’s also this idea…

I think there’s often a disconnect between a show’s reputation and what actually happens on it. Judging from viewer numbers, a lot of people only watch the first episode(s) of a show then decide it’s not for them, or they like the show but haven’t had a chance to watch the latest episodes. People who keep up on the…

Then you do indeed know what it means to miss New Orleans.

I Slept With Joey Ramone, based on a 2009 memoir by the late punk icon’s brother

So was Treme. I guess they just seem like letdowns compared to The Wire even though they’re better than most things.

I think I’m going to watch everything David Simon does even though nothing is going to come close to The Wire.
