Secret Invasion was a fucking layup. It could’ve been a slam dunk but you have to TRY to fuck up that casting and overall idea. I won’t rehash my own ideas for it - the entire collective here at AV club could come together and make a much better show from a writing standpoint. And an attention to detail standpoint.

My comment is from 3 years ago, hornacek, are you okay?

I am older now (obviously) than when I watched GoT - more emotional instead of more cynical, though.

Dude writes about infidelity enough that I always assumed something was up with him in a way, but not this. Hope it's not true. 

Roguelikes roguelikes roguelikes. Easy to interrupt, pass the time quick, can feel like you’ve made progress by end of flight. Very portable, usually.

Show: Displays “Every Second Counts” constantly.
Also Show: takes its time with characters, who are starting to realize (to varying degrees) what really matters to them.

Everyone else: MOVE FASTER PLEASE.

I think I may love this season even more than S2 when I look back on it. It’s not afraid to take its time and it

Skinamarink in there too. It was terrible but the stuff they did with the budget was relatively impressive 

This also happened to Avril Lavigne. But the replacement is better, tbh.

I am loving this season but I can agree. Feel like we’re giving them more time and Syd and a few others way less. Maybe a scheduling thing for the season, I don’t know.

People also think that the early run of Pixar (hit after hit after not you Cars 2 after hit) is still, like...sustainable. And no, it’s not. You increase your output, you are going to be at the vagaries of a whole bunch of shit - including, say, a global pandemic that hits right as you’re releasing, what, three or

1. We don’t hate sequels, we hate bad sequels. And honestly, there’s more and more of us that are aging DINKs and guess what - we don’t always get what we want. Sucks to be us but, ya know, it is what it is.

2. Compared to fucking Cars or whatever, adding onto the complexities of symbolism that Inside Out 1/2 have and

“Did you hurt yourself,” the tentativeness, the hurt - both in anger (how could you think about doing that) and in empathy (how could the world, that I’m part of, treat you that way to where you’d think about doing that), all of it...as someone who works in the suicide prevention field, that moment felt VERY earnest

Getting the Succession team together just to remake the books/movies again, rather than doing something a bit more adult (let’s have a season or two of showing the rougher edges of Hogwarts, faculty sniping, etc.) is just going to show how out of touch they are.

Didn’t watch the full debate - already had been a long week. Biden did as Biden does.

Important to note - it’s basically July, but it’s still not November. There will be other debates and other opportunities for Biden.

Not to be a dick but isn’t it just better for us to agree that all art and creation is ephemeral and we may have to let go of the idea that everything we create, at all times, can and must be preserved for as long as possible?

They then did an elaborate snap, turned around, and immediately punched their assistant in the face.

Unpopular opinion but the more we spend in this world/space, the less I want to be in it. I already had issues with the extreme amount of idiocy in Part 2, and a prequel (and gosh, don’t we love prequels, it’s fun when you don’t have to work too hard at the writing because you already know what you’re building

Oh really?!

So her whole body is turning Dioff?

Thank fuck.
