The "none of this counts" stuff was just stupid. Sure, crashing the baptism was inappropriate, to say the least, but is a pastor really going to reject somebody who needs help. I think that makes him more of an asshole than really seems reasonable.

I thought the Christian stuff was weak and lazy and the humor, what their was of it, was pretty obvious.

The thing about show biz is sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down and often it has very little to do with anything you've done. Having him lose the gig because someone else had a better connection would have been a nice bit of "this is how things go in the biz".

Bleh. I hate this crap where the main character gets a bit of a win just so he can knocked down the stairs. The way it happened was just so stupid and really out of character.

This was one of those films that played on constant loop on HBO during my teen years. I must have watched eleventy zillion times and every time was worth it.

But why does this have anything to do with Asian-American representation? Whether Major is or isn't ethnicly Japanese, she certainly isn't Asian American.

Yes, but while you can make the argument that The Major is Japanese, there's no argument at all that she's Japanese-American. So, should a Japanese national play her then? That doesn't help your under representation issue either.

That wasn't whitewashing, though. That was yellowface.

I guess 32 was the youngest they felt they could reasonably get away with. But it changes the story in some pretty significant ways.

If it's really terrible, I'll probably bail mid-way through. If it's a bit boring it can be something I keep on in the background while I do something else.

Yes, how dare Finn Jones defend a show he worked on for a half a year of his life on and cost Netflix millions of dollars to make. He should just admit to everyone that it sucks and then go home and wind his watch.

It's hard to know what to think here.

My problem with this episode, and the show in general, is that everyone is too old. I remember doing this stuff back when I was trying to break into comedy and pretty much everyone was young and hungry. There were a few older guys, but they were the rare exceptions.

Hamill loves playing The Trickster. I can't see him bailing on it just because he wins an award.

Spider-Man doesn't have a bad guy. He likes to fight around.

My wife is 50 and we have an eight year-old. Had things gone a little differently for us, it's well within the realm of possibility that we could have a six year-old now, either instead of or in addition to our extant offspring.

It's interesting that people here seem to think Ziggy is the strangler. I think the show kind of wants us to think that, Ziggy definitely has that "future serial killer" vibe, but I have my doubts.

So…is Lenny Jesus? Is The Young Pope actually a story about the second coming?

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Here's a whole song about it
