I stand partially corrected. I will ease my pain with bourbon. Seems appropriate.

You can’t call it bourbon if it isn’t made in Kentucky. Jack is made in Tennessee, so it’s just Tennessee whiskey. But in terms of chemistry, it’s just like Kentucky bourbon.

I got an Alice in Chains notification for this?

He’s Ronan. His sister is Dylan.

Edit: I see several people pointed that out. Not piling on.

I’m not defending the episode overall, nor the 2-dimensional characters in Kali’s gang. But I think it’s not correct to call the gang “punks.” There’s one punk. There’s one mountain of a man. There’s a crazy girl. There’s a badass black woman. And there’s Kali herself, whose look is much more Prince and the Revolution…

...

I’m just saying it’s not pretending to be dumb in that case. It is embodying the stupid.

Hopper left Eggos for someone at the end of Season 1? Thanks for the spoilers.

It’s not playing.

Well played.

Yep.

You do you, buttercup.

All of this. Exactly.

Oh, I couldn’t go near Manhattan now. But I kind of thought that my (completely arbitrary, Polanski-inspired) rule about work made before the incident would make Annie Hall ok. After all, the relationships in Annie Hall are age-appropriate. Except then there’s that scene with the little kids in school talking about…

I feel your frustration. I grew up on Bill Cosby records I can’t bring myself to listen to. It was hard watching Annie Hall the other day with my film class (it’s important film history, but the ick factor is hard to get past). I can’t watch a Roman Polanski film without feeling awful, and I can’t bring myself to…

If Goldie Hawn had adopted a bunch of kids, and if Kurt Russell married one of Goldie Hawn’s kids that he had never adopted, and said kid was being referred to in print as “his adopted step-daugther,” then yes. Yes I would. But since that’s stupid, then no.

The original post, now edited, said she was “his adopted step-daughter.” And all the spinning you want to do to that won’t make it accurate. It clearly implies she was adopted by him and was his step-daughter. Neither was legally or technically true. I understand you reasoning. I don’t think it’s correct. But as long…

Also, “his own children’s step-sister, who he helped raise for 13 years” would be just as damning. But also accurate.

It’s not though. Because it isn’t correct. She wasn’t adopted by him. She’s not his step-daughter. So she can’t be his adopted step-daughter. You’re right that this is Woody Allen’s fault. He’s a terrible person. But words mean things, and we need to use them correctly when we’re making factual statements. Not just…

Yes. But just barely.
