I wasn't blown away by the first episode; it felt a little slack, like a few edges needed sharpening. Maybe it lacked a little confidence—not unheard of in first episodes or anything, though that's less of an excuse when there are only five more in the season. But even if it doesn't improve one bit, hanging out with…

This will be my third time through, but first in about a decade. It's a wonderful book.

Fuck my near-irresistible impulse to sabotage the first substantive chance I've had in forever to start digging myself out from under my immiserating emotional and financial circumstances.

Reading Foucault's Pendulum as my before bed book, and am thoroughly disappointed that my dreams haven't featured more Templars.

Blood is thicker than water, but it ain't thicker than everything.

My god … the Kardashians have kidnapped Cornel West.

Do I really have to tell you how many things it can be?

Netflix defaulted to playing this with Chinese dialog and English subtitles; it took me way longer than it should've to realize the subtitles were matching lips better than the words I was hearing.

If by 'fucking with [you]', you mean 'rubbing it in your face that you've got disordered color perception', then yes, Anti-Monitor, we're all fucking with you.

My guess? He did it out of pure, unadulterated spite.

See, I don't actually think Gibson's irredeemable—though I understand the opposing argument and wouldn't try to change anyone's mind if they think he is. But I still don't think Gibson would've improved Mad Max: Fury Road.

D'Angelo: Why Taboo could be even better with Mel Gibson

Yeah, a lot of this for me is just quibbling (The AV Club), but one thing I'll say for both seasons of the show—both of which were among my top 3 favorites the years they aired, ftr—is that it's produced some great performances: Dunst, Wilson, Freeman, Danson were all great, but Allison Tolman is still the best in my…

This describes my experience with both seasons perfectly. I enjoyed both a great deal, they were among my favorites in the years they aired, and when they were done … that was pretty much it.

The Oliver Platt part of the first season was a waste of everyone's time. I wouldn't call the show fanfic, but if I wanted to, that arc would be my exhibit A.

If it were theirs, I'd put it behind: Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo, Lebowski, O Brother, No Country, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, and Llewyn. Which would make it, what, a fair-to-middlin' entry in their filmography?

Can several hours of it be the recording session with JT & Kylo Ren?

You monster.

LOOK UPON YOUR WORKS, OH FIRSTIE, AND DESPAIR

Inconceivable!
