God, the Saviors are all such smug assholes.

Also, the way he described it, it was more of a line. Dunno why that bothered me so much, but I wanted to reach through the television and slap him for it.

Denny's v IHOP: Dawn of Obesity

Perfect.

Let's get some real spoilers here: how many IHOPs were harmed in the course of this film?

She did way more than "only" create a distraction: she took out quite a few people, including shooting Mary in the leg and leaving her for the walkers - one of the most cold-blooded acts by any protagonist on the show.

Gonna blow your mind here: it's possible that people can watch the same scenes and come to different conclusions about them, and that has nothing to do with people "not actually paying attention." Like I mentioned above: the conclusion of the Terminal episode doesn't make me think she has a problem with mass murder to…

I think I'd find that more convincing if the last season and a half (or so) hadn't established her as so cold-blooded and pragmatic. This isn't, contra the thread above, a fandom-inspired reaction (I'm only a casual viewer, not an obsessive), but a reaction to things like her behavior in and towards Alexandria, where…

I’ll miss her, though. Merritt Wever was visibly human in a way that’s rare for this show, even among its strongest performers

Seconded. I liked some things about TP, but Okami is a goddamn masterpiece.

One relatively recent - and very good - Christian movie was Danny Boyle's Millions.

Dax's performance reminded me of a taller version of Kenya Michaels doing "A Natural Woman". You don't do little ballet twirls to emotionally riveting songs. And that was the better of the two. I was cheering for both to go home.

In retrospect, Carol telling the others that Maggie is pregnant seems like a clear attempt to appeal to their common humanity. But it’s an oddly optimistic choice on Carol’s part

Lansbury's role in this is my favorite screen villain of all time, male or female. I get chills with her "…and what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me." Chills.

Yeah, that seems about right.

There are. Transgender Legal Defense Project does a lot of work in Russia (and in Russian) re: trans men and women and their rights.

So far: cheering for Bob, Chi Chi, and Kim Chi. At the very least, I hope all three stay on the show for a while - they'll be fun to spend time with.
As bad as Naysha's outfit was, Robbie's was far, far worse - I'd have sent him home.

Also, if you end up liking the Grossman, the NYRB translation of Everything Flows is vastly superior to the earlier translation (under the title Forever Flowing). It's a messy but passionate book, like a man cutting the veins of his country's history wide and letting it bleed across the page. Life and Fate is the…

I got it because I used to live in Ypsilanti, and I loved it.

Me, too. It's one of the only books I can say that made me an instant fan from the opening lines.
