Knowing movies' intention without having to see them. Truly a more enlightened, reasonable being unlike those feminist hassles!

Willfully misinterpreted a perfectly clear statement… you really fits a stereotype in this kind of gender debate to a T (on top of using a tired stereotype for an actress yourself to boot).

Man, for non-book readers, I imagine the reactions to this trailer will be different before and after seeing the actual film. I can imagine the trailer maker rubbing hands gleefully behind it.

Easy to differentiate who has or hasn't read the book here. Mind you, I was at the right age when this book came out (12? 13?), but if I remembered correctly the book is darker than what the summary in the article implies, and actually a nice reversal of the MPDG story (although it came out before that word/trend was…

Hmm, I know D'Angelo hasn't watched past the first Hunger Games yet, but in the two films after Lawrence actually has the chance to show how traumatic her character's experience is. It might be way less realistic than what Captain Phillips does, but it registers pretty strong too, especially as the trauma gives her a…

Is he addicted to online attention that much? Seems like he tries so hard to be the first one in every article.

That last line + Paddy Considine's instant tear = I'm a wreck

So if the film isn't good we should just give it a pass because we like the guy?

Great, now I feel even worse recalling some people's comments from that week (especially something along the line of "it's not stalker because it's all pulled from her public comments")

A-*

Yup. Roughly that.

It's hard to describe, but the film feels richer in emotions and thematic undercurrent in the first two acts, and then become a little too plotty and twist-oriented in the third act, in the way that confuses what come before it.

Not to mention liking one's own post.

Since in no way I can handle a rewatch of the entire show, I think I will prepare myself before the new season just on Elsbeth Tascioni episodes.

It's really amusing to see many get outraged and be so vague about the reason. A show with a dominantly female name and lead, on an oh-so-inferior network? Don't have to see the episode to know we can't have that!

Too easy to to vote without having actually seen an episode, as has become evident in the past two rounds.

Nice for you that he's leaving for Vox then, although I'm not sure who's going to have a better "good riddance" moment, considering the increasingly hostile and whining attitude towards the A.V. Club's writers of late.

I'm too lazy to copy every significant bit from the article, but the key I think is "more faltering and less sure of itself, but that’s by design." Even though it's by design, that still makes him feel that it's a lesser episode than the confident, move-like-a-rocket "Hitting the Fan."

[No indication that he has actually seen the episode in question]

"You say one scene in the Mad Men episode is better than all of the scenes in the
Good Wife episode and you prefer the former show over the latter, yet
you're still going with the latter."
