I think it’s the voice that sells it. She has a very unique voice.

See, I’d say that’s my absolute favorite kind of twist. Real life is upsetting enough and I think that’s always a good reminder of that.

This truly makes me want to crawl in a hole and die. The second hand embarrassment is far too much.

Uh, so the white fashion guy gets an obit, but the black one doesn’t? This is some bullshit.

I get what you are saying but I’m not sure Succession is a great example, since the glamor is really offset by how shitty they all are, and how they are constantly getting punished for it in embarrassing ways. Housewives might hang themselves similarly, but it’s more of a bug than a feature from what I’ve seen of the…

I guess this *could* be correct usage because I haven’t seen the show but . . . seems unlikely based on the description.

AVClub used to be the place you came to to learn that “high concept” generally means the opposite of what you might think but now, well, *gestures vaguely*

I never watched the 4th season and I can’t honestly decide if slit throats and decapitations make me feel more or less interested now.

REALLY enjoyed him in Dr. Death recently. I’m interested in what modern interpretation has to say about this movie. I’m potentially into this. Mostly, I just want more Joshua Jackson pleeeeze.

Any other fat people out there want to crawl in a hole and die over the thought of The Whale being released? It’s not going to be a fun time for your fat friends, completely regardless of how good the film is, it’s content, etc.

You are correct.

This generation does not understand the old ways . . . smh.

Are you a millennial? Because if so, it’s our fault dude. We encouraged “The bees! The bees!” and there is a direct line from there to where we are now. If you’re a gen x complaining about us though, well, I dunno. Tough titties OLD MAN! (I am thirty seven years old.)

Im here for the sci fi, horror, and thrillers. I cannot fucking stand new Batman bullshit. I also generally dislike Stephen King. Black Panther is meh for me personally as well. I only really genuinely like Thor out of all the Marvel shit, so I’m hoping it will be good.

That is . . . disheartening.

You are not alone. The trailer is screechy yet dull, and how on earth did they manage to make that many of the prettiest people on earth look like absolute shit? What could a new Batman movie even possibly have to say at this point? (Also, I’m legitimately annoyed about the fat suit. Fuck your fucking fat suit.)

Well this fucking sucks. I one-million percent support them but, man. We, the actual readers, are fucked now. (Not as fucked as them though. G.d. bullshit.)

I’m not interested unless Tv on the Radio is involved in some way.

I don’t know how I felt about that movie overall, but she was incredible in it.

Watched Encanto with the spouse last night. It’s just kind of a weird movie, narratively and structurally. The conflict isn’t well defined, and what muddled conflict does exist is shallow and wrapped up with no thought or explanation. (Like, Ok, the banished Uncle is back, no questions or hard feelings! Wtf?)
