I wouldn’t find it very difficult to give 100% in a sex scene with Carice van Houten. Perhaps 110% would be in the offing.

“One woman, who left Riot in 2016, said, “It seemed like he assumed she would respond, ‘Oh, I didn’t say anything,’ and then he could blame her for that.” When I read that e-mail to one current Rioter, he interpreted it as such”

Listen to this. Mind-reading and a bunch of hearsay about people who heard someone else…

They spent weeks filming these and months editing. Of COURSE when a mistake like that makes it to air despite all that time and all those eyeballs, it is fair to say they are half-assing it. It’s not credible to imagine otherwise.

“we join Arya in a sequence right out of The Last Of Us”

“Given its box-office results, you may have also seen a certain film this weekend, and without spoilers I’ll say that I left Avengers: Endgame feeling like seeing the movie again”

...do you like any grown-up stuff, maybe?

It sometimes seems as if a whole cottage…

So Bran’s super power played out in this battle as him sitting and looking smug while everyone died for him? And the highlight of this expensive “spectacle” was that the otherwise-invincible villain died from a single stab by a character who emerged from nowhere through the power of editing? And this is treated as an…

Yes...which was the killer’s directly stated intention...to falsely associate himself with right-wing figures so as to engage in “accelerationism.” Saying “subscribe to PewDiePie” was another example of this. The people who are playing into his hands are the ones who didn’t read the manifesto, which, like the…

None. The idea that one is to be held responsible for the actions of one’s online viewers is inherently ridiculous, an artifact of those using a global communications network who would never have been intelligent enough to invent it or get on it by themselves. People are responsible for *their own actions.*

“You have to keep it filled with gas (requiring you to find a gas can and refill the tank by holding a button and watching an animation) and keep the engine running when you hit a tree or an enemy (requiring you to have generic “scrap” on hand and fix the bike by… holding a button and watching an animation). Also, if…

BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN DORNE?!?! This show’s such a patchwork mess when you rewatch it. Future generations are going to be baffled that some currently treat it like it’s a masterpiece.

So you are directly admitting that this girl should be punished for things that other people did, not for what she herself did. Any ideas on why that concept doesn’t bother you? Does your psychiatrist have some, maybe? Parole officer?

“Do you worry about the self-harm of people who see things like child separation and have no emotional response?”

Those people had no emotional response to it when it was Obama policy for quite a few years. They only started when, and because, it became an excuse for a new Two Minutes’ Hate on Trump. Their emotions are…

Not jail. Prison.

“The George W. Bush era helped make it hard to see the United States as anything but a global bully, enforcing its will on others and shunning those who resisted.”

“they may be organizing the Fyre Festival of people actually murdering each other”

Nah. Laura x Ryu

The Kenobi voice actor was terrible compared to Ewan McGregor; he said almost everything in the same snarky tone.

“Both are strong action sequences, although it’s bizarre that after Frank learned a dramatic lesson about the dangers of blindly shooting through walls, his big showdown centers on him… blindly shooting through walls.”

Good note.

“Rather than embrace the melancholy inherent in Frank becoming a full-time vigilante, “The…

“Amy got pretty damn lucky that after figuring out John’s hotel room floor, she was able to find his room just by listening for his voice through the door.”

In the version of the episode I watched, she got it wrong and almost got Frank killed. Pilgrim was in the next room over. [But we can’t expect a professional TV…

“as Karen and Madani figure out that Frank didn’t actually kill the innocent women he thought he did”

Wait, by “innocent women” are you referring to the hookers servicing a gang of violent thieves and killers in exchange for some of their ill-gotten gains? Is that what “innocent” looks like in your world? They should…

“I get that it’s the basic premise of the show, but, like, how is Frank so much better at fighting than everyone else?”

So what you’re saying is that you DON’T get the basic premise of the show. A fat Chicago Jewess who has probably never been in a fight in her life struggles with this concept? Weird!
