That’s on you, not them.

That’s the whole article?

What is this, “other men”? Only Tambor misbehaved. The others didn’t say or do anything reprehensible.

Bateman?! Bateman’s fine.

“How is it spelled?” is the best line in the show thus far.

This is very teeny tiny part of the movie. It’s certainly not a theme and that one scene doesn’t define the character.

Tom Wolfe was *88.

Naw, this episode was tonally very different than almost all the rest of the season (especially the episodes in the latter half). This season was defined by its almost being a horror show, with pervasive dread throughout, moments of intense violence, and a sense that anything can happen, a sense that things might not…

Yeah, good read on CC as a villain. I’d overlooked that Clarke (by necessity) knows exactly what Earn did and was trying to do. Earn may indeed be fucked.

Maybe. The way he told Alfred he put it in CC’s bag, it seemed more like a definite choice than a desperate scramble.

Is the sudden detour into straightforward narrative earned? Not really. Does it matter? Not really. This episode almost functions as Glover saying, “I can do linear plot progression as well,” with all the pathos, dilemmas, and foreshadowing that entails.

In the boardroom?! Ain’t no highschoolers in the boardroom!

No, you’re absolutely right. These two should not be lumped together. Clemmons has a viable complaint; Machado does not. Anyone who gets asked an insulting question about their work is going to react poorly to it, male, female, young, old, Latin, Dominican, white, black, etcetera. If someone took the time in a…

Exactly. I came here to say the same thing, and agree with Dowd. It’s very strange that Menomena are almost totally ignored. Every single album of theirs is not only great but terrific—I’m not sure they’ve ever produced one bad song. Not to mention the fact that they invented new instruments they use on those albums! I…

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve written, but also, Moms is fantastic and all three Ramona Falls albums are fantastic as well, with the second probably being the best. His best song? Probably still “Russia.” I posted this elsewhere, but they’re a band with, in my opinion, not a single bad song, and if they…

Here’s the thing, though: his music is good, too.

A 70 score on Metacritic would about be the dictionary definition of “pretty well-regarded.”

My dad has a theory that you put the worst song on an album as the penultimate one, which bears out pretty frequently in music and other media as well.
