Did the director not realize that Jim's loneliness and desire for company leading him to wake up a woman who he can trick into depending on him is the backstory of Dennis Quaid's insane character in Pandorum? I mean, this sounds like the writer had more faith in humanity than most but seriously miscalculated how it

wow. You're right.

I hear you here. Too often boys have this idea when we're young that even if we copy behavior that could be rapey, we're not really hurting anyone because we're not like THOSE guys.

I don't buy it

Wow, recreating the theme made me realize how uninspired it feels. It's only with the visuals that it achieves some kind of thematic resonance.

I think I'll skip this one since everything Emile Hirsh does these days has a bad taste to it after that choking incident at Cannes, just like Johnny Depp.

Just when you think you know a series…

Yeah. I didn't know how to include it since I don't think the show ever really acknowledged it…

This is why I am really impressed with Sweet/Vicious' decision to show that one of the characters who hangs around the girls is in fact, a rapist. It makes everything they do put you on edge just like being around a dangerous person, only the other chrachters don't know…

Neither did Breaking Bad or The Wire.

weird, man.

with Tomi? when?

okay, that was fucking hilarious

THANK YOU.

Just because she's a millennial doesn't mean she's open to new experiences…

I can't imagine being intimate with someone so ugly on the inside.

I still feel like the kid is "rewarded" at the end, while the girl, and the woman the guy was after come across as unsympathetic.

I'll never forget that scene in Mud where the woman calls him a pig while the two boys watch, then when she turns to them and asks them to grow up to respect women, they just stare at her breasts. It's not clear if the film sees it as "boys will be boys" behavior, but it captures how the objectification of women can

K, so something has occurred to me, in the past discussions so far the topic has continually shifted towards the "reveal" of the story and the nature of how the show has chosen to tell this. It seems that for a show that ostensibly wants us to ask what these answers mean to the characters, it's really done very little

I can't like this because of that last sentence but I will say that IT framing it's story like that gave a lot more detail to the losers in comparison to say, the kids in Stand By Me.
