My big takeaway from this is that there’s a town called Rifle that could end up being represented by a wackjob gun nut, which sounds about white.

Most people don’t use the equinox to refer to “the end of summer,” they go by whenever there’s a large, consistent dip in temperature, which varies depending on location. “Fall” started in my neck of the woods about a week ago, since the highs dropped about 10-15 degrees F, and we’ve been getting a ton of rain.…

The Bard said it best:

In their zeal to economically fuck over minorities they ended up fucking over themselves. Poor whites can’t afford more babies. Let alone poor whites on meth and oxy.

It’s not so much they don’t want to stand by it. It’s that they don’t want the blowback of being boycotted, lose their jobs, get kicked out of apartments, have to deal with the harsh light of day, etc. They want racism without any and all consequences. Among each other, within establishments that most black folks stay…

I’ve seen this movie already: it’s called the nightly news 

Yeah, I really liked the first episode, but every subsequent episode has been scattershot, and it often feels like they’re rushing when they should be building suspense.

I wish this was working for me on the level of enthusiasm Joelle well expresses. But it’s just isn’t yet. I see the history and societal issues that the series is trying to address some episodes much better than others. But it’s checking boxes in my mind and feels rushed. The issues with the violence/genocide towards …

The Big Chill is a pleasant surprise in this regard.

Yeah, it’s easy in some ways to see it as part of that nostalgia-wank, but damn if it also isn’t one of those rare films of the Boomer movement that’s willing to take a look at the generation and go “Holy shit, how did we turn our backs this hard on so much of what…

Twenty years ago, I’d never imagine saying this... but this seems like a slightly worse Mission Impossible.

Bold decision to use The Love Boat font.

They’re commonly called ‘mini-strokes,’ but they’re transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). They basically are tiny, mild strokes caused by small blood clots. They tend to last only a few minutes and don’t cause permanent damage. However, they can be indicative of future TIAs and full-on strokes (ischemic or hemorrhagic)…

You’ve sunk my MAGAship!

...it’s not a gritty sci-fi drama like Star Trek: Picard

“It’s more West Wing: NASA”

but it’s not a gritty sci-fi drama like Star Trek: Picard.

That’s exactly what Big Sausage wants you to think.

One of the funniest things I saw on TV last/ this year (It is all blending together, damn you 2020). Very well deserved nomination.

That interview went on and on, but in a good way. I love reading all of the details of how decisions are made behind the scenes and what the thought process is behind the writing.

There’s some kind of energy specific to series or movies where you sense the communicative amusement of the crew (or imagine it ?). It radiates the fun they seem to be having. It’s the case with The Good Place, and with even the bad John Carpenter movies. And yes, it’s very much the case with What We Do In The Shadows…
