“Well, y’know, the suit recycles my feces and urine. Isn’t that right, Friday?”
“No, Mister Stark. It does not.”
“...oh, no.”

I don’t think Tyrion thought Cersei would abdicate; it was about the optics of making Cersei publicly own her choice. What he didn’t anticipate was her using Missandei, their only high-status hostage, like this...which given her history is dumb.

I think it was just a last ditch effort. He knew he couldn’t really change her mind, but he had to try.

The Night King doesn’t feel like a villain.  He’s more like a natural disaster, or Godzilla.  I like that he didn’t start explaining himself in a pleasant baritone.

I am SO GODDAMN OUTRAGED that I basically agree with most of this and don’t have a chance to write a sarcastic spittle-flecked list of all my problems with it.

Wow. An old-fashioned “The studio head insists on putting his mistress in the picture” scandal. Seems almost quaint by today’s standards.

I don’t think that’s the right decision. The man’s legacy is complicated, to say the least, but this seems like a bit of a reach. Next you’ll tell me nobody will air Men in Black II anymore, of if they do it won’t feature his cameo. There’s a point where this all gets silly, and I think we’re there.

I just want it to be good because of my long-standing love for Brie Larson!

Oh, I’m doing the same. I just don’t want another Ghostbusters on our hands, where we get annoying fanboys whining about how putting a woman in anything makes it bad.

Maybe him fully admitting these little kids were his friends and that he slept alone in the same bed with them is enough. It's very reasonable to think that's wrong,  weird and there’s some form of abuse in all that even if you doubt these two. 

yeah, i find it hard to believe that anyone looked at the drumbeat of ‘settled out of court for an undisclosed amount’ for years and thought there wasn’t anything going on.

even if you buy the ‘oh, michael is being targeted because he’s rich’ thing- how many normal wealthy adult men routinely target pre-pubescent…

Glenn Close was fucking robbed. No offense to Olivia Colman, but she was known for years in the UK as an okay comic actress, sort of sit-com. She’s not really the focus of The Favourite. She’s a semicomic figure the younger actresses spin around.

That personal check to the two men who admit to assaulting him was for a purely unrelated business transaction

For me it was like a roller coaster.

I think most of us initially came up to bat for Smollett but this is just depressing, when you consider the broader implications.

I can’t believe he paid his accomplices by check.  I hope he wrote “For fake assault” in the memo line.

I binged the 1st and 2nd seasons run on a flight to and back from South Africa. It’s bland and formulaic but surprisingly pleasant. A few episodes in they figured out that the show was best not being even remotely realistic and they just leaned into the absurdity. Damon Wayans is basically a wacky sitcom dad who kills…

Diabetic Immunity!

My blood sugar is gettin’ too low for this shit.

Except that doesn’t involve the flies taking forever to fuck by stopping every few seconds and letting some douchebags drone on and on about it in between the infinitesimal little blips of action.
