“Dammit Wierzbowski - I KNOW he’s a whitetail deer, but he gets results!!!”

“Seriously, how many people have fond memories of Backdraft? I’m guessing hundreds at most, and half of those are probably the cast and crew.”

Trust me - millions of casual moviegoers of a certain age still think that movie was the shit.  

Mind you all - I’m aware my anecdotal experience doesn’t count for much, but that’s just it. I’m naive about what other men have been “taught” about women (and what women have been taught about themselves) and just where this “teaching” came from. If it’s a set of cultural messages, what composes them, and how are…

Well, I wasn’t taught that growing up.

I mean, I’m a product of the morally degenerate culture of the US in the 1970s [sarcasm], but the author describes a set of Middle Ages cultures in which women wielding varying amounts of power and enjoyed something closer to equality than is generally thought. So do we have…

“Guilds formed, organizing power into private clubs, and men pushed women out of participation. “

How come? I’ve never been able to figure out this attitude.

Why do so many men seem to hate women so much?

She was not good, the costumes were bad-weird, and Quavo seemed to hardly even know who she was.

“catches Cross right in the middle of Donald Trump’s first term.”

Trump’s term.

His only term.

I’m gonna keep saying that until it manifests. 

I watched “Reality Bites” once and never wanted to see it again, but I can listen to “Stay” over and over and over and often DO.

Why a “guilty” favorite?

As a fellow pedant, I appreciate this post.

Your VCR has a CLOCK? Sweet.

It’s just an amazing little piece of television. With every little beat, you can see what they’re doing in terms of dramatic mechanics, and it’s beautiful.

Also, I’m aware I’ve AGAIN managed to misspell BOTH of Steven Moffat’s names. No offense meant.

It’s kind of a special case given the format, but I’d argue that “MST3K” is in that rare category of shows that have never really had a poor episode.

Some are funnier or just have more energy than others, but any ep is reliably entertaining.

I lot of shows I love can offer this (at least a couple are even mentioned above), but I’ll go with two examples from one of my favorite shows since childhood, “Doctor Who”.

Series 3 of the current run gave us “Human Nature/The Family of Blood”, which mined terrific emotional heft from giving our alien hero the life…

Well, my girlfriend and I have been together for almost 9 years.

We already share a home, pets, friends... what is the point of getting married at this stage?

Branagh’s mojo really makes it, for my money.

Me neither.

It kept me entertained on the elliptical, at least.
