That struck me as odd too, that these supposedly homeless teenagers, who are starving and can’t feed little brothers and sisters, somehow have the dough to be impeccably tanned and dyed.

Major’s season-long arcs are not always enjoyable to watch, but they’re always well-written, pay deep attention to his character and move him forward in believable ways. He could have been so one-note, but they’ve taken care to give him layers and complexities and somehow managed to turn one of the main sources of eye…

Yeah, that’s a piece of information that’s not going to work retroactively either - I’m betting there are episodes in earlier seasons where Liv didn’t realise someone was a zombie in disguise. And this strikes me as an odd time to throw in that kind of fact, because with half the population of Seattle now roaming…

I did this with audiobooks at one point in my life, and because I’m the kind of person that feels more guilty about not finishing my book quota than I do about skipping on exercise, I ended up being very regular about working out just so I could get my hour of reading in.

I think you might be giving the book/movie too little credit, because the issues you bring up are definitely hinted at and explored to an extent, even within the confines of a teen romance story. In fact, that teen romance part adds another element to it - what does love look like when it’s a love of minds and you…

I haven’t read the book, but the movie does bring up some of those logistical challenges. A has access to the host’s memories, so he/she can make a whole bunch of reasonable decisions based on whether or not the host would be comfortable with it. (Spoilers, I guess?) There’s a scene in which A refuses to have sex with…

Hey, you can support two causes! *googles whether it should actually be ‘viva las pedants’*

No worries, I heartily support your outrage on behalf of the Irish! *waves flag*

She’s playing an Irish character, but that’s one of the jokes, that Billy Magnussen’s character doesn’t know the difference.

I understand what you’re trying to say here, but this seems to imply that strong female presence in a movie should offset even minor issues with diversity. It needn’t be an either/or thing, and I think that’s the point.

My issue is that I can always think of a reason to keep practical stuff around, even if I can never find it when I need it (like you said, I need a proper inventory for this stuff, along with location tags, for easy access), but stuff like letters and photos and birthday cards just have no purpose. I feel guilt at…

It’s more the way the book is written, to be honest? I expect someone writing about this topic to be slightly detached and practical, but her writing seems overly emotional. Like I said, I’m not sure if it’s a translation thing, but it just struck me as odd for being essentially a self-help book.

The guys from Antique Roadshow are crying somewhere...

Also, for every new thing you get, throw something old away. (Also applicable to Cousin Ray Ray’s ashes.)

I know some people the KonMari method has worked out for, and who swear by it, but some of the things she says in the book sound as batshit as the mentality of the hoarders she’s trying to help. Maybe it’s lost in translation, I don’t know.

Thank you for this, it was a really interesting read.

It’s amazing how much of that background noise we take for granted. In my line of work, we often get prelim videos, before the sound is corrected, before ADR, before music is added, before Foley stuff, and it sounds BIZARRE without all of that. It shouldn’t, because that’s what a normal conversation sounds like in a…

I worked on the audio description for Every Day, but live in a country where that particular accessibility feature is not yet available in cinemas, so if anyone here actually uses that facility, I’d love to get some first-hand user experience info from you!

I’m here for the Trial&Error love! It was quirky and explored small-town weirdness in the same loving way that made Parks&Rec so great. Plus, the ensemble has a bunch of distinct personalities, and they’re all funny in different ways. Plus, plus, Jayma Mays! <3 I’m really curious to see how the show feels without…

Yeah, that’s my least favourite thing about these season-long mystery arcs on broadcast shows - when they’re writing this stuff not that much ahead of airing, there’s a good chance the reveal is going to be a rush job and not make complete sense.
