Spot on.

the part I don't understand is how does this give the content license holders more leverage? If anything, if it proves that people are watching their shows in Netflix more than cable, it seems like the advantage should be to Netflix.

also, can I just say that the possibility that Bill Cosby might be a rapist is seriously depressing? I watched Bill Cosby Himself about a million times as a kid, listened to his records, and watched the Cosby Show every week like my life depended on it. Can I just have one person I look up to in the entertainment…

Yeah, I also really enjoy that these films are done by young indie directors (generally) and fuck yeah, The Death Set! I hadn't heard them until I saw the first film, and now I'm a huge fan.

I really enjoyed both VHS and VHS 2, but it's weird, I seem to be alone in thinking that the first one was better. Amateur Night was borderline scary, but mostly just a very unique story and really well suited to found footage. Second Honeymoon was creepy as fuck, I can't put my finger on what it was, but that one…

I think they never really spent much time explaining how the tapes were created or by who because the wrap around segments were really just a vehicle to deliver the stories, which is fine.

I've seen both 1 and 2, haven't seen Viral yet but it sounds like it might fall a bit short of the first two. I actually thought just about all of the segments in the first one were great, Clinical Trials and Safe Haven in part 2 were also very good, and the zombie ride in the woods segment was pretty entertaining,…

I like that you specifically said 'consensual' gay tryst, although, to be fair, if you're a prominent homophobe, this could be a desperate cover story: "yeah, I had sex with these fellas, but it's not like it was consensual or anything..."

no, you're right, it's actually more complicated than that, but I could only type so much.

As someone who has worked in the music industry, I would say it's a bit more complex than that. first, I would say the divide between good and bad is not quite as wide as 1% vs 99%, if that were true I think sales numbers would be even more pitiful than they are now. Second, there are countless examples of artists who…

how did the know I just ordered my drone a few days ago? Haven't even had a chance to fly it yet. I guess we'll see what actual enforcement on this looks like.

I will say though, from what I've seen in the UK and Australia, racial integration seems to be much more of a reality than in the US. Here it really is like two separate countries.

This is similar to what happens in the US, except that only a very small percentage of the electorate votes for anything other than the two major parties.

this is what drives me crazy about the fast food industry (well, one of the things). Did Taco Bell only just now hear of the taquito? You guys invented a fucking burrito with Fritos in it, tacos with tortillas made from Doritos, and how much other nonsense, but no one ever though "yeah, maybe we should do a taquito"…

this made my day. I have been all over Mexico (and eaten a lot of tacos, but never heard this). I love that country.

I thought the same thing, but I'm willing to bet that these will not be superior to 7 Eleven taquitos, which are positively dangerous for me.

I lived in Oz during the John Howard years. I don't understand how such a lovely country keeps electing such horrible PMs.

I think she meant the Weather Channel. Or I'm just being naive, and it's the company that makes the weather. See also: chemtrails.

Why has Alex Jones hacked Martha's Twitter account?

well, at least you've got French, German and Italian wines to look forward to. But no Tim Tams! That's a tragedy. I have been able to find them in a few shops here. I have to admit, every now and then I could really go for a lamington.
