Annie apparently being MIA is still confusing me. I guess it's true that her story was wrapped up in the missing pieces… But then a lot of the contuinity errors in Secret History are centered around her, basically rewriting things as if she never existed. Which is either some petty commentary on Lynch and Frost taking…

It always seems to be very obvious whenever a car ride is filmed with green screen, even in more recent productions. So it may not have been on purpose. I always wonder why certain car scenes are filmed with green screen though. They were driving down an empty road, no?

Yeah, but they're all "add me on kik brittanyxx420" even though tinder says their name is Michelle.

Eh, I thought it would be funny to try it right when the season came out, before it would really blow up. Only got like a 40% success rate, compared to the 80% I usually get from just complimenting them on their profile.

As someone who is completely, unashamedly in love with Noel Wells I doubt I'll love S2 as much as S1.
But this was still pretty great.

There's easily just as much evidence saying exactly the opposite.
Most studies that come up with negative effects are either funded by shady organisations or have terrible methodology. Overall, not nearly enough good research has been done to say anything one way or the other. No one should ever reach a conclusion from…

You're assuming people are going to make it through the initial suicide.
Doing the things you mentioned but not actually depicting the suicide at all would probably be the best way.

Apparently any depiction of suicide, no matter how deglamourised, can lead to an increase in suicides.
Which like, what do you do then? How do you ethically make a show about suicide? I have no idea.

Actually I think you'll find that the argument people have against video games causing violence is "no worthwhile study has ever demonstrated violent games as causing anything more than very short term levels of increased aggression, and just as many studies have shown the opposite". Which has a little more nuance but…

As an Australian I just want to let everyone know most "leftwingers" still think Australia is a pretty great country, albeit with a conservative government slowly fucking over younger generations and with inhumane policies towards refugees.
But ok good Simpsons joke I guess.
And no, having a progressive party in power…

But often people will want to change lines on the spot during filming, and during a writer's strike you're actually not allowed to. This really affected the first Abrams' Trek movie, apparently.

"You can buy the nine-song collection for $5, which is odd considering this is ostensibly a fan project"
I guess the A.V. Club doesn't understand the concept of covers? See, with music you're actually allowed to make your own versions of stuff without them bullshit corporate friendly copyright laws getting in the way.

Theoretically yes, a story where Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Ms. Marvel etc. are villains could be interesting. But A) not this story because Miller doesn't have the self awareness to explore these issues past a surface level and B) Portraying these characters as villains fucked up something fundamental in the comics for…

No. The central conceit of Civil War was supposed to be two sides, both with reasonable opinions, duking it out. Instead Mark Miller made Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic evil fascists that would do anything to win (I suspect because Miller is toxic enough in reality he didn't realise how terrible he was making his…

To be fair, the first couple of FF issues are basically monster comics, with their powers being portrayed as kind of horrific.
But obviously that's not what FF is known for/what made them so popular, probably.

If you really think the civil war comic was better than the movie there's no hope for you son.

The show will end with a flashforward to present day and a middle aged Henry working for the president (topical!)

Fuck, I read these books when I was like 10, though I never actually finished them because they were WAY too fucked up for a 10 year old. But I have to say I remember them being really good. Maybe they don't hold up but they were a lot better than most of the other YA crap that was getting shoved down my throat.

FUCK, I was looking at it on my shitty lil phone.
6 is still way too high though.

I can tell you as an actual real live teen, or close enough anyway, that this graph is bullshit. Nobody in my gen thinks Facebook is cool. Everyone fucking hates it, except as a place to share sometimes ironic memes about depression.
