This has definitely been one of the most consistent seasons of AHS, narratively speaking. I’m still waiting for the bullshit, 100% unnecessary twist that this show always seems to lob at its storylines like a molotov cocktail, because Ryan Murphy will always Ryan Murphy. That thought aside, though, I am really…

Yeah, I was thinking “I’m glad he didn’t actually hurt him in his attempt to hurt him because he would have gotten hurt.”

I think you hit the nail on the head. Comedy, like all forms of art, is just different for each generation. 

I also think that. Seinfeld wanted to attribute young people not laughing to them being too sensitive. Maybe people just don't really find hacky material about floppy hands looking gay and French to be all that hilarious. 

Personally, I don’t buy the “too PC” argument. I think it’s more to do with the kids on campus today have all been born after Seinfeld went off the air. Different generations find different things funny. 

Southeast Michigan is basically the Juggalo homeland. They have the “Gathering of the Juggalos” every year. I can assure you that the band and the fanbase is alive and well.

The Insane Clown Posse still exists? No value judgment here but I was under the impression they kinda fell out of reality sometime around the new millennium...

This. I watched an entire season of This is Us, basically against my will (during a group vacation, and I was outnumbered), and I’m still angry about it. That maudlin shit is terrible and yes, very Sparks-esque. This is Us is basically what would come out if Nicholas Sparks and the assholes behind Brothers and Sisters…

Their entire “love story” is a textbook case of grooming. If her claims of abuse by Mia are true, far from discrediting the idea that he groomed Soon-Yi, it would have made her a more likely target. Abusers will often pose as “saviors” to get troubled children to trust them. He’s scum.

I disagree with he complaint is that there shouldn’t be a definitive Joker origin movie because he says in The Killing Joke “If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!” The dialogue doesn’t literally mean that the Joker has multiple origins within the same mainline continuity that must never…

Exactly. The Joker’s origin story is “Badman exists.” That’s it. That is all you need. Anything else is just dumb. 

I hope they change it to the dedication to his grandma. Goes to show family is important.

Yup... You just captured a horrible aspect of music culture perfectly...

Count me among those Em fans scratching his head about the sudden praise for Relapse. With the exception of “Deja vu”, “Beautiful”, and maybe “Insane”, that album was very forgettable. Almost as lackluster as Encore. Recovery and MMLP2 were much better.

Basically entirely

I suppose it just comes down to what you want from an Eminem album in 2017. What else can he do? His old shocky schtick can’t fly anymore. If he had released ‘Kim’ in this day and age he’d be drawn and quartered. And not wrongly either.

I think a big part of the problem with late-era Eminem releases is the disconnect between what made him famous in hip-hop circles and what made him famous in pop circles.

Eminem is a technically gifted rapper and a bad artist. And now there are Soundcloud rappers who weren’t even born the last time he was making something interesting. When Em first dropped it wasn’t that white guys couldn’t rap, it was that there is nothing the white guys could rap about without making themselves a…

Dre isn’t writing his own lines, let alone someone else’s.
