That was a good line, but the one that made me laugh like a hyena was:

There were some lingering elements of DvD in episode 2, actually, even though we had moved on to Bewitched. There was the whole thing about Wanda wearing pants while all the other women were in skirts, which is a fairly obvious callback to Laura Petrie.

Yep. I had seen, I think, the first two episodes when they first aired (or possibly only the first), and hadn’t liked it much. So I had a little bit of knowledge of the setting and setup but barely remembered some of the lesser characters. My husband convinced me to see the movie in the theater, and I thought it was…

Thanks.

I’m familiar with this. My mom (66, life-long smoker, diabetes, and blood clots in her legs) was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in the summer of 2017 and was given I think a year. She did decide to do the aggressive chemo and such, and by Memorial Day of 2018, the only cancer they could find was a tiny spot in…

I mean... it’s a super popular trope? (Not that specific mythological figures are a trope, but I can’t think of a better word right now.) People have written approximately a metric ton of Persephone/Hades romantic fanfic.

Boy, you’re super comfortable being nasty online, aren’t you? You don’t think your petty insults here don’t show who you are as a person? I’m going to bet you wouldn’t be comfortable saying those exact words to me if we were at a party, but thinking it instead of saying it doesn’t make you not a jerk, just cowardly.

LOL, so I’m supposed to ignore when someone is getting hurt because “it’s personal” and “not my business”? Tell me, are you one of those people then that ignore it when you pass a woman on the street being groped and trying to get away? Do you not say anything when you see a kid getting punched at the store because…

Nah. A conversation is a restaurant, unless it’s someone who is rude enough to talk much louder than the general hubbub, takes work to listen in on and probably to reply to. Text on a social media site is a billboard that is RIGHT THERE, with a chalkboard and chalk attached to the bottom for replies.

not everything is FOR YOU.

I’m going to flip that around and ask you why shouldn’t we use a tweet from 10 years ago to judge someone? Some percentage of people learn and grow, of course, but in my experience, the vast majority of complete shitheads are still shitheads 5, 10, or 20 years on.

It’s not genre, but I’m fond of Mixed Nuts, a Steve Martin (Nora Ephron directing) movie about people running a suicide prevention hotline in Miami on Christmas Eve. It’s dated (there’s a stereotypical ‘90s transvestite character) and nowhere close to great art, but there’s a serial killer, Adam Sandler, and other…

It’s highly individualized. When I saw Rogue One, I thought the Leia effect was awful and honestly never noticed the Peter Cushing one for one second, having forgotten he was dead until I started reading the reviews. And that was on the big screen. 

Even if they aren’t currently, I will pay extra to watch these if they go back into the studio now and overdub all the episodes to include him.

I don’t know what I expected from this show, but it wasn’t this. And I’m super into it!

Flashbacks, maybe?

The first time, really? And only the second in all those titles? Ugh. Do better, DC.

I’m not convinced that a Duck eating a turkey is the same thing as a Human eating a chimpanzee. They’re closely related due to both being Fowl, but turkeys and chickens are gamefowl and ducks are waterfowl, two different biological orders. (At least according to Wikipedia, I suck at science don’t ask me.)

...What? There were tons of articles written about that sweater. People who have never seen Knives Out recognize that sweater. The sweater is likely the most substantial cultural impact that movie had (and don’t get me wrong, the movie was excellent!).
