Oh god, the cabin segment brought me back to Who Made Huckabee?. God, I miss Stewart and "Colbert," although I hear that young South African fella and Colbert are doing well.

To be fair to you, the Asian-American community hasn't usually been vocal about these issues until fairly recently. Part of why we're considered a "model minority" is a tendency to not make waves. But now that the consciousness is raised, some in the community are speaking out.

Never watched it, but I can believe it.

Because being a gay man makes you "feminine" in the eyes of ignorant people, period. Asian men are having a hard time being perceived as "masculine" by mainstream America, and a lot of mainstream America still perceives "gay man" as "sissy girly-boy."

Big manga fan here with extremely eclectic tastes. Here's what I'm reading/recommend in no particular order:

Immaterial Girl is all about Aster and her relationship to her past. Taken as a whole, Phonogram is all about aging and maturity and how that affects your relationship to a "scene," with IG being the final (so far) word on the subject.

Me neither - but I fucking loved Phonogram and the first three collected editions of W+D.

"Lifetime Original" is not a bad way to describe the novel, so I would expect the movie to have similar elements. It's all very twisty and menacing in with little kisses of campiness.

Sounds like this is your Phantom Menace.

"We finally have Hollywood's permission to have female ghostbusting children!!"

Why does "The Mack" kick out at the camera every time he sings, "Watch my flow"? I seriously thought, when watching the video, he was singing, "Watch my foot." Is kicking a particularly mack-ish thing to do?

Okay, I Netflix'd this in an attempt to unlock the secret to deciphering Ignatiy. Here are my minute-to-minute thoughts:

Unless you're old enough to have seen the originals when they were released (and you might be, who knows?), I don't know if you're in a position to judge any of the originals as "[weren't] that good or had aged badly." I'm certainly not putting myself in that position, but just looking at the history…

I'm in the same boat, but then I remember that some of the most beloved Hollywood "classics" are remakes/reboots. Bogart's The Maltese Falcon was the second remake. An Affair To Remember (Cary Grant version), Cape Fear (DeNiro version), and Father Of The Bride (Steve Martin version) are all remakes.

I fucking love Dude, Where's My Car? And after my fifth (entirely sober) viewing, I realized it was a stoner's existentialist film, which made it even way better.

Depends on what I'm in the mood for.

I'm a little surprised at that myself. Although I do enjoy most of the entries.

Without any snark whatsoever (I fully admit to being a snarkosaur), I am completely surprised that Kittie is still around. I thought they broke soon after Fallon Bowman left the band.

I was deeply, madly in love with my girlfriend of 2000. But there were a few moments in that heady, passionate year where I thought, "This just ain't right." One of them was walking in on her dancing to "Rollin" in the kitchen.

I went to the Soundgarden/Nine Inch Nails tour in 2014 and was immensely impressed at how punctual the show was. It was like, "Hey man, we're all grown-ups now, and Trent's gotta get back to his little kid and smokin' hot wife at a reasonable hour." Even with the opening act, I think the show was done before 11:00pm.
