Tutoring for child stars (and tutoring for rich kids in general), pays really, really well - probably $60 or $70 an hour well. Especially if Gus has years of experience.

The most musically distinct songs are pretty much all at the beginning. "Total Entertainment Forever," "Dying Man," "Pure Comedy," "The Memo," and maybe "Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know…" are the only ones that get stuck in my head. I love the lyrics and the mood, but adding a little more variety to the…

Let me know what you think when you do. I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold on the album yet, but it's definitely more interesting than I expected.

I also like Fear Fun the best :) I think it has a more consistent tone and mood than Honeybear

I felt this way when I listened to some of the singles leading up to this album (esp Total Entertainment Forever and Dying Man), but I like the way the album takes the "talking points" of individual songs and adds nuance… many of the tracks seem to contradict each other.

When I first heard the song, I thought it was trying too hard to satirize something that had already been satirized to death (Infinite Jest, anyone?) and that the line was pretty cringeworthy.

He seems like a nuanced thinker who cons you into thinking he's making simpler, more intellectually facile points than he really is. Taken individually, the songs on this album can feel like easy cynicism condemning politics, entertainment, and technology as empty, selfish, shallow etc, but taken together this thing…

I saw Captain Fantastic and I don't remember there being any courtroom scenes.

I liked a lot of the choices this film made. The drama and sentimentality still felt contrived at times, but the way Shinkai lets the characters develop during everyday interactions – instead of relying on big climactic moments to show how the characters feel – made the movie seem unusually real for a love story.

Yeah, I feel like the characterization for Abigail hasn't been very good. She comes off as a stereotypical self involved teenager who has just discovered social justice and uses it to make other people feel ignorant or wrong.

The children in this show are advanced, period. Chloe seems somewhat realistic as the socially savvy, confident kid who copies the affectations of her older sister and mother.

I really like it when TV characters actually talk to each other, instead of keeping things secret for the sake of increased dramatic tension.

I just posted a very similar comment in the "what's on tonight" thread. Agree 100%, really hope the murder victim isn't one of the lead actresses.

Man, I kind of don't want Big Little Lies to end in a murder. I would hate for one of the main characters to die or go to jail – they're too likable, and their plotlines are too engrossing. Plus, murder really doesn't feel inevitable; I could imagine the drama intensifying, complicating, and giving us another 2-3…

I think once Forrest figures out the show is actually cancelled, he will kill himself. He did say he would.

Tbh, I think it might end with Forrest simply lost and adrift after Review (the TV show) ends. If he really does review "giving your last review," he will have to stop the show or else break his own rules.

Also, funny/sad to see what Forrest took away from the incident. To paraphrase:

This seems like a compassionate attempt to let Forrest off the Review hook and save him from himself. I wonder if Grant will let that happen.

His constant use of the phrase "they do pot" let me know he had no experience with pot or anyone who smokes it. Which is a good thing, he was 13 years old at the time.

I've worked with middle schoolers for a while, and I've noticed kids this age tend to have a pretty good grasp on genre cliches. The most promising but also completely 13-year-old TV show pitch I've gotten goes like this:
