Jesus. I agree with you about the accent (which despite its awfulness doesn't take away from his great performance) but damn you really hate that show.

But he was amazing in Beasts of No Nation… I'm assuming the "(ugh)" in the article refers to how he couldn't get nominated for an Oscar and not an indictment of his amazing, award-worthy performance.

I legitimately didn't know "limp-wristed" was anything other than a gay slur so sorry for jumping on that.

"Things you'll hear at a Trump rally"

Nah, fuck sauce. We can criticize all this shit for romanticizing violence, and we should start criticizing everyone who whitewashes violent rebellion ASAP.

I don't think this criticism is totally without merit however it ignores people like Bubba and Lieutenant Dan who follow authority and get fucked over for it, and kind of ignores Forrest and Jenny as characters (admittedly not that there's a ton to work with with Jenny) instead reducing them to symbols. In particular…

I think it's fascinating. I also thought the first season was only interesting in fits and spurts and that the boom of amateur investigators and armchair judges was creepy and off-putting. Maybe if they constructed it in a way where people could be "Team Bowe" or "Team Haqqani" people would stop saying it's boring.

Yeah because we like coherent, properly edited entertainment we are "championing stupidity over intelligence". Sure buddy.

I enjoy Feast a lot too. It's not anywhere near as good the first three, and the level of bloat compared to the adaptation is obscene. There are good moments in FFC and DWD (most of which have been adapted by now) just like there were in the first three. It's just that the most recent two books are so diluted with…

It's okay, you're in an abusive relationship with an overrated writer. Just accept it. We're here for you.

The only thing correct in this comment is that Hardhome was the best episode.

Yeah I was initially annoyed by the "books did it better" crowd during Season 5 because I hadn't read Dance yet and figured there was no way that the show was that much worse.

Dude was the GOAT. The Michael Jordan of TV antiheroes. He could say more with a couple seconds of reaction time than Kevin Spacey has said in three seasons of House of Cards.

There's no guarantee Leto is actually in this that much, is there? I've seen no footage of him with the rest of the team, or really any footage that couldn't just come from Harley flashbacks. I think the dirty little secret the studio doesn't want to leak is that he's a glorified supporting character that is being…

That's exactly what happened. The first three books are tightly written and great (so definitely check those out if you have a chance) but the last two suffer from a combination of him getting too big to edit and his procrastination causing the final drafts to be sent so late in the process that they couldn't be…

There's still a gut reaction I have and can't really shake despite my best efforts, where subconsciously I kind of think most comedians aren't technically "artists" because they usually spend their public lives pretending to be dumber and lazier (and more spontaneous) than they actually are. So I will always…

I mean in Adomian's defense though it's career-making-or-breaking criticism of stuff that gives them no cash (podcast guests are unpaid and outside of Splitsider and Podmass there isn't any other widely-read criticism of podcasts). It's a touchy area.

I agree but based on how he seems to take innocuous statements he'd probably think it was sarcastic.

That and he said he's not doing a lot of podcasts anymore because he's tired of podcast fans not appreciating the rest of his body of work. Which is understandable but a bummer.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess we're not going to see Adomian showcased on here for a very long time.
