I'm with you. I do freelance art on top of meagerly paid jobs and have only gotten by on many occasions thanks to the generosity of others. That generosity was always offered freely though and never demanded on my part, because I intend to solve my own problems to the best of my ability. I'd never walk into a friends

Oh man if we're talking tone-deaf, the episode where Samantha tries to date a black man and his sister doesn't like it was really uncomfortable. Same with the rude Asian maid Miranda had to deal with. I remembered re-watching and wincing at some of the stereotypes.

Or Ally McBeal. Or Dollhouse. What is it with prime-time shows putting the most annoying character front and center? For a male example you have Ted Mosby.

Oh not just the storyline with Samantha's lesbian lover (though they botched that too). I'm talking the episode where Carrie dates a bisexual dude and ends up frenching Alanis Morissette. Message of the episode seems to be "Oh those young kids and their bisexuality. They'll grow out of it!" Meanwhile rest of us are

I just wish it hadn't come at the expense of nerfing Steve's character. He and Harry were my favorite parts of the show.

The rare movie that makes you think "Oh, THIS is why the terrorists hate us."

The other three actually had a pretty good dynamic. Miranda was Spock, Charlotte was Kirk, Samantha was McCoy. What the hell was Carrie by the end? She was the rare main character who was the worst part of her own show.

Harry was the best of the guy characters. If nothing else, the movies ruined him the least.

Glad they referenced the Atlantic City episode because HOLY SHIT is Charlotte foxy in that one.

I love Margaret Cho's character in that episode. She was perfect for the show.

Exactly what I expressed in my comments. The movies were so offensively bad it made all the bad parts of the original show stand out in greater relief.

I remember growing up me and my guy friends would watch "Sex and the City" hoping for a glimpse of a boob or something like that, but we all ended up getting invested in the characters. There's nothing more surreal than a 14 year-old skate rat bemoaning Carrie getting back together with Big while waiting for the

This is how I still feel about Twilight. My friends and I stumbled into the first movie by accident (all we knew is that it was about vampires and nothing else) and we stuck it out to the end. Partly out of fascination, partly out of bile, and Breaking Dawn Part 1 almost broke us in how soul-crushingly awful it was.

I didn't know "cuck" was a thing before this last election.

It still blows my mind that everyone's still gaga over Ten and Rose, because to me Ten's definitive era was with Donna. The episodes were the most consistently good, she was the most consistently written companion, and grew over her time with the Doctor. The fact everyone's still wounded over her memory wipe undoing

Since Moffat uses the metaphor of the TARDIS being like a computer hard drive that the Doctor downloaded the squash court multiple times and simply forgot to delete the copies, like when you download Adobe Flash Player one too many times.

Even Rory wondered that! "Doctor, do you have a room?" Question was never answered.

Seriously, Trump is a friggin' coronary waiting to happen. He's had the advantage of a privileged background and running a business where all the boring stuff is taken care of for him. Dude's all on his own now.

This wasn't the worst, but this episode kind of left me cold. Yea I get that it was a superhero pastiche, but at no point did it transcend that. Pretty much all the cliches were played straight, including the awkward reveal of a secret identity to a loved one. Not to mention the already weak superhero stuff took up SO

Pence is still a politician. He plays by the rules, which makes it easier to vote him out. Trump doesn't play by the rules. You don't know what the fuck he's gonna do.
