Mako Mermaids: best show on Netflix.

I can’t believe this train wreck is still happening. I’ve said it before, but put aside the casting issues and you’re still left with a movie that, at its most basic level, involves a kid trying to blow up a school and kill all of his classmates.

I had a hard enough time when they turned it into a musical (NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A MUSICAL!!), but even that is much better than this. The fact that they even reference Martha Dumptruck in the description of one of the actors, defeats the whole purpose of this story. I say we just set the whole thing on fire now.

Seriously. Like, the Heathers were the stereotypical Perfect Girls (tm) that everyone wanted to be and also hate ... so you could be happy that they were dead. I am kind of bummed that I’m supposed to be rooting for a white hetero couple to kill a black lesbian, a gender-queer guy, and a fat girl ...

SERIOUSLY. By making the movie’s outsiders the Mean Girls, they’re no longer outsiders, and it’s impossible to root for them because they’re the Mean Girls, so... we’re left with conventionally attractive, heteronormative, and socially adept people to root for? WAITAMINNIT.

...did I miss something? Who are Mathews, Scannell, and Field?

That first guy is from an Australian kids’ show. You know, as one is.

It’s so you can’t see their boobs.

Can someone explain the rationale for mermaids wearing tops? I have never understood this from a zoological and evolutionary standpoint.

I don’t get it either. Didn’t she study music at Tisch or something? It’s not exactly a surprise...

I’m not a Lady Gaga fan, but was there ever any doubt that she can sang? She’s a trained musician.

This is why comparisons between Lady Gaga and Madonna are unfair.

Obviously that is the appropriate take away. Fucking moron.

I really hope that her situation is resolved safely and without too much strife, but it’s also horrible to think of the many, many more faceless people who are forced to confront this reality as well. How awful. The worst is that there is no end in sight and no fast or simple solution that will come in time to help…

This. When I watched “Lemonade” I was blown away by the experience it represented. No, it’s not my experience (I’m white), but I fucking love art that shows me something I don’t know about. It broadens my world, (hopefully) makes me a better human, and it’s how I fucking learn. I read lots of those same articles, and…

Jennifer Lawrence would not do this. So it’s moot. J.Law does not do parodies, she doesn’t do anything but act in films and enjoy her life.

Amy Schumer thinks she’s “funny”. But those of us who aren’t white and aloof remember how Amy likes to make jokes about brown men raping her and discussing the black male body and…

Yeah, I’m watching the show on Netflix now and it’s simultaneously addictive and yet . . . really bad? I cut it some slack because it was obviously made in a pre-Netflix world and is not designed for binge-watching—but when you watch episodes in quick succession it becomes pretty clear that the main characters are…

Yeah, it is pretty terrible but really addictive.

The original was kinda awful. But in a good way.
