I think that kind of lines up with teenagers, though - we all FEEL THINGS SO MUCH in high school, but how many people did you know who were really able to take on serious depression and anxiety disorders at 17? Cameron is seriously, truly, utterly depressed even outside of being sick. His household is both unwelcoming…

Personally, re: the Elsa situation (I'm not touching the Ghostbusters dust-up with a ten-foot pole because it's been a pretty ugly series of thinkpieces and self-righteous 'this is why the property belongs to me' stuff so far) I don't like the push to give Elsa a girlfriend, because I kind of loved that Elsa is both…

Yeah, you can see it breathe in that superfast drugged-dog way.

See, I felt they wanted her paired off because real feelings and real problems made them nervous, not Grace's looks.

Her weight/petite-ness actually does factor in to the story inasmuch as the way people viewed her was in fact affected by it, especially as she lost weight after the harassment began. Normally i'd agree with you, but in this particular narrative her physical statute/shape kind of does show up as an important point.

I agree - the movie tries I think too hard to undo some of the hard edges. Scarlett in the book is really a horrible person, and since we are mostly inside her mind we are made to understand how horrible she really is - it's just that the negative, unpleasant aspects of her personality end up serving her well in life…

I love (the book) Gone With the Wind primarily for it masterfully creating a main character who is both imminently readable and incredibly unlikable. That's pretty rare in literature.

Agreed on the Spider Man point - Doc Ock was the only character in that film where the actor used CGI rather than the CGI owning the actor.

Yeah, Krakauer I thought was pretty nuanced but ultimately came down o the side of "Christopher McCandless was killed by his own arrogance."

Let me clarify - when I say "people keep telling me it's wonderful", I mean that my friends who are fans keep telling me "THIS season is great! It's great during THIS plotline!" and… nope.

Dracula is my favorite book of all time, but I gotta admit - Stoker reeeeeeeeeeally loved the word 'voluptuous'…

I'll bite.

Actually, yes, that sounds like a great article idea. We ALL have that trash that we just shamelessly adore.

It is a pretty harsh critique - it does sting. And I wholeheartedly believe that our 'eh, who cares' attitude about NASA (nationally, when it comes to policy/funding/popular support/etc) is one of our biggest failings. There's plenty of money for a jet that doesn't work, but we refuse to fund the best possible…

To be fair, just about everybody is out of their league when acting with Jane Krakowski.

I imagine that last is more the point they were getting at - it's a town where we've actually outsourced the culmination of our friggin' SPACE PROGRAM. If anything symbolizes the decay of the idealized "American Dream" of the postwar period, outsourcing NASA's biggest achievement has to be it.

"We're HONORING them"

Reverend comes in literally just holding a red wig. Just a red wig. Not attached to anything.

There'd be grounds for one hell of an annulment… but you kind of have to file for an annulment. I think it's probably more than the Reverend manipulated her into signing a marriage license at some point, filed it himself, charmed the pants off the clerk who should've looked into it/had Kimmy show a state ID in the…

While Elektra Natchios has always been Greek (um, the name kind of gives it away, I should imagine, reviewer…) in this iteration she doesn't seem to be ethnically Greek, but more ambiguous - her last name is the surname of her adopted parents, the Greek ambassador and his wife. I think the show wants it to be that…
