Going with my awe inspiring gut, I’d bet men are more likely to engage in downvoting shit they don’t like because they’re more likely to believe that the world should care what their opinion is.

I’m old school. I go mostly by trailers and talent. And heartwarming Golden Globe acceptance speeches. (I LOVE YOU RACHEL BLOOM) If something has a warm critical reception, that might inspire me to catch up on the show later, but when it comes to tv, consulting imdb ratings just strikes me as odd. It’s just such a…

And yet, with a near infinite selection of movie review outlets, why would you put stock in an imdb poll?

Lol. It’s where you got recruited for your shill duties, isn’t it? Commenting on The Good Wife board? Just teasing.

Or, we could just not take online ratings seriously. Who are these weirdos who rate shit on imdb or take an imdb rating into consideration when deciding whether or not to watch a show?

It’s not just Austen+Beckinsale, it’s directed by Whit Stillman! And yes, she’s such a delightful actress I feel no resentment about her apparent unwillingness to age. (Or maybe Underworld primed me for her not aging?)

I thought the sleeves were obviously the wings necessary to take flight. I think feathers would’ve been a bit much. (I don’t disdain feathers in general, just here, too literal.)

I’ve loved Kate Beckinsale since I saw her in Cold Comfort Farm, and she’s done nothing to disappoint me since. She could disembowel my mother and I would still love her. (Being Kate Beckinsale, and perfect, she would, of course, give my mother some non-traceable drug to overdose on in her sleep and then I would love…

No need for a conspiracy theory with The Raid. He was cast in it because the producers were insistent they get an actor who was more than HGH muscles and capable of following choreography sufficiently that no one get hurt. They wanted an actor who had a high degree of athleticism and a big enough name and as far as I…

I loved that CW kept Nikita on the air for no other reason than the guy in charge thought it was good. (It was!)

Hillary is not any kind of Republican, agreed. But the only reason you can plausibly argue that she’s to the left of Obama is because she hasn’t had a chance to govern yet. Her domestic policy instincts have always been more conservative than his (that’s small “c,” how slow and incremental do we need to go — reminder:…

I spent a ridiculous amount of time asking myself this same question before concluding that TK’s hair is too fine to handle much product.

Is part of the coronation schtick writing the profile as if we’ve never heard of this person before, that the Vogue cover story counts as an introduction to polite society? Because completely setting aside how sexist that intro is, I was baffled by the way the framing relied on surprise. Do Vogue profilers routinely…

Having witnessed up-close and on a much smaller scale the ugly reality of professional campaign staff milking the hopeless insurgent dry all the while encouraging the dream, I don’t think “undisciplined” is necessarily the word I would use. They are being very disciplined executing a strategy, it’s just not a strategy…

I was also late to the game, not watching until it was off the air and on Netflix, and I spent most of the first season wondering why the hell people loved Tim Riggins so much. But when they finally get through to you, there is no stopping the Riggins love. Tim helps out the volleyball team. Tim teaches a nerdy kid to…

Apparently not, since I expected to draw immediate condemnation for my comment and it took almost an hour for someone to take exception. Poor Taylor Kitsch, TD2 was so bad it’s cut into Riggins Love, which once seemed an impossible task.

I thought this was going in a creepy direction, but it ended sweetly.

There is no way to be POTUS without committing moral atrocities. Sorry! Hillary is definitely a hawk and far too sympathetic to big money guys (wait, it’s not sympathy at this point, it’s empathy), but she’s not insane and she’s demonstrably better than Trump at anything you would want a President to be good at. I’m…

It’s even dumber than you think! They were driving on the grass through a heavily treed area. Like they should not have approved this maneuver out of fear of hitting a tree on a moonless night, never mind anticipating kids fucking in the shadows. And they weren’t even seriously trying to bust us for drinking, just…

It’s not a great cut, but it’s a definite improvement. He looks good. What the length on top lacks aesthetically, it makes up for in my sexual imagination.
