Man brought some m-f’in context. 

There are a lot of weird double-standards and hand-wringing over Sydney Sweeney’s nude scenes versus, say, Kate Winslet, but I think it comes down to the fact that Sydney Sweeney’s breast are spectacular looking by most any conventional opinion, male or female, gay or straight. She’s really blessed in that department…

I fear that when we introduced dependent “economies” to our long departed hunter gatherers we crossed a line that will never be uncrossed. That, and a country full of guns, ammo, and and an irrational idea that we go on to a blissful afterlife, so no repercussions for screwing up our one chance here and now.

Yeah, not feeling the need to repeat “asshole teenager” all over again. We got it the first time. We were all summarily annoyed, etc... I liked the idea he was becoming engrained as boy-genius in their operation. Now we have to go through SMH tropes and contrivances all over again. But otherwise, pretty good return.…

Um, that’s my gill.....

These TV networks exist to sell advertising for wads of cash, packaged around formulaic production-company shows. No one cares about professionalism or expertise or experience. It’s about keeping eyeballs entertained between ads. Several years ago I was fired by HGTV execs days before filming a show on residential…

It seems to be a bad trend that TV-grade writers and showrunners think they are the match for successful novelists. As soon as the source material runs out, most of these productions go off the rails (Handmaid’s Tale, GOT, and too many others to list here...) if they weren’t already driven there by network “adaptors”…

I find the blithe disregard for the day -to-day survival needs as distracting the writers making a deep dive in to it. They should have portrayed SOME middle ground in the twenty-years on future. Like, I don’t know, food production and markets markets have somehow re-evolved in communities, or something, so you can…

The surviving plane occupant couldn’t have lived in the plane without food and water but more than a few days at best, so unless I missed a lot of time passing by AFTER Tyler and his mom were released from being locked in the pane in the hangar, I don’t know where he’d have traversed all these “jetways”. Since when do…

Thanks for the reply. As a non-book reader in this case, the whole portrayal of the Prophet’s storyline and motivations has been a fail IMO. I would have preferred they followed your explanation. This is why TV writers and showrunners should not mess with the material from successful novelists.

Imagining that said by Sir Patrick Stewart and it’s quite entertaining.

Did the book punt on the issues of food, water, and shelter as much as the show has? I assume the writer just decided to not spend any time on portraying what would be an all-consuming task as finding food and water every day. Twenty years on the canned foods ,clothes, batteries, tires, teeth, bones, diseases are all…

“Slower But Still Irritated”

So far I’ve enjoyed the pandemic era exploits of Jevan and Kirsten much more than the rather forced drama and narrative confusion of the current traveling stage group. I didn’t read the novel so I’m trying to run with what I think has happened, but here is a major point I do not understand: Why would the Prophet send…

When they started dropping all the extenuating facts about Chris owning weapons that fired 38s, the bullet alignments, the other grifting in regards to pension payments, body decomp processes and their bogus testimony in regards to it all, and particularly the non-existent bullet casings - I began thinking the…

It will be replaced the “Unknown Singer We Are Watching Through a Toilet Paper Roll With One Eye Closed”.

Fox is just trolling the world at this point....

I was just discussing “vinyl people” with my son. If I ever get back in a band we’ll release music only on vinyl...and call ourselves “The Insufferables.”

We found the writing in Episode 1 to be particularly off. The behavior of the two leads belies their actions as people who in fact believe the world is ending. He’s buying $9000 worth of supplies but ACTS like it’s just an odd day. What in the hell happened to his girlfriend/wife? He’s all kind of upset about his…

Watch it every year without fail. The strangest thing is how old Ralphie’s parents actually are. Darren McGavin was already 60 years old- legitimately old enough back then to have 10 or so years on someone who could be Ralphie’s grandfather. Melinda Dillon was even 42 or 43 at the time. I’ve never seen it mentioned…

I can’t really buy in to the “horror” of the siblings’ situation. Two weeks ago Kendall’s buyout was valued around two-BILLION dollars. Assuming all three kids were vested equally, none of them need fear for anything for even a second besides not eventually being worth a hundred-and-two BILLION dollars based on…
