I know! It's insane and completely amazing.

Seriously why are they making this movie?

Jesus christ. Even for you thats shockingly inappropriate.

Then my work here is done.

Wtf is starz lol

I would totally watch a Daniel Inouye biopic.

They are all Lego maniacs. To a man.

Hollywood fail.

Never forget Teyonah. Cardinal rule.

Oh his behavior was unconscionable. But I don't think anyone could have found it funny because, "haha Chinese people talk funny." And I think someone could have easily missed that Erlich was the butt of the joke here. Well Erlich and the VC guys, who were even worse.

Yeah it's the kind of thing that no one would make to make a profit, because there is too much competition to ensure a high likelihood of success, but it would be perfect for a school project. And I would absolutely use it.

I think it's actually a very clever way to ensure that Veep is skewering Washington culture regardless of whichever party happens to be in charge at the time.

I do use allrecipes sometimes, but I'd prefer something more curated.

I've long been a "come up with my own recipes" kind of cook. But lately I've been discovering the pleasure of recipes. I'm bored with my own culinary imagination.

Yeah that sounds way too tedious. I literally mean you type in one ingredient—octopus, fennel, golden raddishes—and it offers eight options for cooking it. Doing it for your whole grocery list is … who would want to do that?

Someone mentioned last week turning the app into a tool where you enter an ingredient and it gives you eight different recipes for how to cook with it. I would totally use that app. Especially if it were updated seasonally. And it seems a lot, lot, lot easier and more realistic than Shazam for Food.

I agree with you, but I think the show walked uncomfortably close to the line of being racist in this instance, because it would be very, very easy for a racist asshole to watch that scene and see it the other way. I think, however, it saved itself at the restaurant later when it further humiliated Erlich using…

Yeah I thought that was a bad note. He got laid by bonding with a girl about how much they both hate Gilfoyle. That he would let Gilfoyle poison him so quickly just didn't quite work for me.

I thought the show walked closer to the line of offensive than it usually does with Erlich in the conference room. But then it was perfectly balanced out at the restaurant when his racism backfired on him completely.

Well FWIW, per the book, in what you describe is exactly what happened. In the "first wave" of Gilead, anyone who was any kind of Christian and married (first marriages only) was pretty much left alone unless they took up with the resistance. It was only in the "second wave" that they started targeting specific…
