I mean, the GOP is doing a bang-up job at showing people how little they care about women. I don’t know why Allison Moore is getting fussy about this.

is there any other side. because if there is it seems to be really good at hide and seek.
She'll get shit from the Republicans, sure, but she could say puppies are fluffy and nice to pet and they'd manage to invent a way to spin that into a negative statement. What she's doing is trying to take some wind out of Sanders' sails, by demonstrating a more muscular progressivism. Say what you will about Clinton…
She’s right tho...at least the religious fundamentalist side of the GOP.
I was once abused and sort of knowingly put myself in that situation because... of all sorts of personal issues, basically. Her story struck a chord with me.
Strong acting from all the leads, but limp direction and plotting. Ultimately nothing more than fairly anonymous neo noir. Wanted something wild and sprawling. Never quite got there. Did love the photography in the redwood forest in the last episode.
I am immensely biased because I am from Louisiana, and I was living in NOLA when they were filming TD1 (Matthew McConaughey went to my gym. I got to sneak in to Carcosa), but the L.A. location did nothing for me. Not to mention the central mysteries to Season 1 were so much creepier, in Season 2 Caspare’s murder…
I was so bummed by last night’s episode... there were failures at so many turns:
1. Rachel McAdams didn’t have any acting to do. Seriously, the script/story didn’t give her a chance to act. It was like she was just tacked on there because she had survived the season.
2. The scene with Vaughn/Frank and his wife in the…
I guess I felt like her feelings were pretty typical of the guilt and shame a lot of victims of sexual abuse experience; that they deserved it in some way or were somehow responsible for what happened to them. I didn't have a huge problem with that.
Remember that stupid GQ spread with two of the actresses semi-clothed on top of one another? Remember how neither of them so much as appeared in a scene together?
While I appreciate her doing this, I find it curious that Chris Nolan wasn’t put in an uncomfortable position similar to this after the Aurora shooting during DKR.
Many women also have not been sexually assaulted.Those women, however, are of absolutely zero interest to pretentious pseudo-intellectuals such as Nic Pizzolatto, who thinks women are interesting only as objects of desire or debasement by the male characters whom he finds so very, very interesting.
It was surprisingly funny and charming, actually. I loved the relationship between Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen. (I can’t believe I just typed that.)
the unexpectedly great 2014 comedy
I stopped watching quite awhile ago, but even I saw that angle coming, because it was foreshadowed about a dozen times in the first episode.
The childhood molestation thing was SO obvious. I’ve decided that Nic Pizzolatto is the type of writer who thinks he’s super deep and knows a lot about character development but is actually supremely up his own butthole. ALL the characters this season have had the most cliched back stories.
i need Rachel McAdams to solve the mystery of why i keep watching this dumb show.
Just read a few reviews. This is literally a movie about a 15 year old girl exploring her sexuality through an awesome(!) fulfilling(!) relationship with her mother’s boyfriend.
A 15 y/o girl having an “affair” with a 35 y/o man? Eh, I’m with the BBFC on this one.
We white people can start by not being so defensive every time someone brings up race. We can’t have a conversation if we take every mention as a personal attack. Katy in the piece above, and the initial Taylor Swift response to Nicki Minaj, show us that we can end the conversation before joining it.
