So is Shrek now Jesus or something?

Gina Rodriguez as the Virgin Mary is great in-joke casting, if nothing else.

Get Out is the same genre as Drew Goddard’s Cabin In The Woods.

It’s satire - that’s why it’s in the comedy category. It’s not really a horror movie, it just uses the horror format and horror tropes to tell its satirical story. Oh, and Kumail Nanjiani is totally gong to win.

I thought he was perfect for Jim.

I’m American as well, so beats me. It’s funny you mention wrapping paper: my parents went out of their way to get paper for “Santa’s” gifts that was sold at stores I never visited with them. Same with the cards.

I’m American and we always had “Santa presents” and then also family presents. Usually the Santa present was the one bigger/more expensive item we had asked for (Which, don’t get me wrong, was still modest as my parents were generally on a pretty tight budget—but it didn’t feel that way when we were kids). I think…

I am also extremely confused. Is it not the case that kids get presents from their parents AND Santa?? We were not rich, most of the time lower middle class, but we got gifts from both. Friends and I have also talked about whether “Santa” wrapped gifts — in my house, he did. In my husband’s, he didn’t, which is how…

Still not as bad as Gremlins. Fucking Gremlins.

I LIKE that!

When I was a kid, I got presents from mom and dad on Christmas Eve, and then opened “Santa’s” gifts on Christmas morning. Isn’t this common among families?

My parents were relieved when they no longer had to pretend Santa was real. That way they didn’t have to wait until Christmas Eve to get things under the tree.

I was one of those people a few years back. I didn’t want to believe that the blind items were about him. “I like you, I think you’re funny. Can’t you just be a good dude?” Apparently not.

WHERE THOSE APOLOGISTS AT? What was that again about Jezebel rumor mongering and dragging a good man down and there haven’t been any “real” accusations?

President Obama’s “health care for all” law was officially called the “Affordable Care Act” but has been nicknamed Obamacare in honor of its champion.

Can we please stop pretending that Catholic theology isn’t vicious and destructive?

It kind of depends. A thousand sitcom families hugging won’t make me as happy as the last scene of last season did.

I graduated college on the eve of the recession, couldn’t find work, went through a horrible break-up, and ended up living with my parents for a long time until I got back on my feet. Eventually though I found a job in my field, moved across the country, and finally put a down-payment on my first apartment.

You’d think…

I got this pamphlet one year while trick or treating:

I have to say, the girl who plays Nancy did some stellar drunk acting in that bathroom scene.
