Don’t you mean “pedantry” or “pedanticism”? [holds out hand for jerk crown]

I had to do it in school , I thought it was the worst thing I’d ever had the misfortune to read . I’ve since revised my view that its a well written novel about some of the most awful , annoying , whining , idiotic characters ever written. Literally ever person in it is awful , and would benefit greatly from being fed…

Well you aren’t wrong. Biannual is one of the confusing ones that can mean “twice a...” and “every other.” Annoying.

I had the same issue with Promising Young Woman. When you boil it down, the entire movie is about a woman willingly throwing her life away to make the tragic death of her best friend all about her.

I just adore the whole story behind Wuthering Heights, where two months after Jane Eyre made a huge splash, the writer’s little sister who was just known as a creepy weirdo who went on hours-long solitary walks through the moors put her own book out.

Yeah the octopus suffocating so fast made no sense to me. They didn’t have to have her out of water in that earlier scene. 

Two things that bugged me about this episode:

“50 cent version of Batman” is pretty much Rorschach’s entire deal though.

I know, it’s just so *silly* to try to do the right thing. This current climate of wanting to not be an exclusionary dickhole. Tsk. Such a shame.

I think Isle of Pussy would’ve fared better. (At least until the radio ads came out.)

Gilliam only did it to emphasize the surreal dream like atmosphere of his movie. “Little people = surreal” can be seen as a problematic Hollywood trope anyways.

I think it’s less “they shouldn’t allow him to say those (woke) things!” and more “Netflix/Spotify shouldn’t be paying a man money who’s platforming Alex Jones and has been broadcasting demonstrably false and harmful antivax info for years”.

“Don’t get mad at me, you know why you came here,”

It’s currently on it’s third season at Discovery Channel.

Disbelief. “That has to mean something else, right??”
