This right here. It’s long, and it sure as hell feels long, and as someone who hates that I ate every minute of it up. It earns its length.

There was a force-feeding scene in last week’s AHS that reminded me so much of one of those death scenes. That, the bottle in the eye, and the swinging blade are the only ones I remember.

The fact that this author responded so blithely to the floating man makes me lose about all faith in these reviews. Sure, it’s okay to view this partially through the lens of family trauma etc -- the show is set up for that interpretation quite clearly -- but give credit where credit is due: it’s a horror show, and as…

Seriously? I’m a gay dude and I spend every day presuming that everyone is straight until I hear (or have reason to assume) otherwise. Being offended by a well-meaning old couple asking if I have a girlfriend honestly sounds kind of insane.

My thoughts exactly: “Oh Riverdale, I love how you can introduce a character called Hot Dog and I literally have no idea if it’s a dog or a person.”

I go to Trader Joe’s multiple times a week and I have zero idea what you’re talking about. But I want to know! Especially since it’s going to be pouring rain later which = metro home which = trader joe’s by the metro.

She may be sick of dicks but the deuce isn’t -- I’ve been marveling over how much male full frontal nudity there’s been this season, especially in this episode where it far outweighed the female side. Frank depiction of gay sex too, with all the varied permutations depicted in the piers scene w/ Paul. Anyway I think…

This one speaks the truth. My partner, who doesn’t watch the show but joined for this episode (and, like me, loved it — the time jump makes everything a lot more interesting and yes, better sounding), turned to me during this scene and said, “we listened to this during an orgy”. God I love disco...

Drag Race has more than enough content for 90 minutes -- I was begging for it and they fully committed to the extended runtime this past season (great until you’re standing in the same spot, drinking, for an hour and a half and you’re stumbling by the time the credits roll) -- but Project Runway decidedly does not. I…

The one true meatloaf recipe is from my queen, Ina Garten, and it somehow uses TURKEY:

What I’m reading here is “use leaner meats!” which is like, the opposite of how to make delicious meatloaf.

Also, for anyone who has made it at least through the first case in Unavowed, or how played any adventure games that take place in the modern world, is there any inventory object more predominant than a fucking FUSE. I swear there’s one in every game I play these days.

I VERY rarely purchase games day one — God of War being the only one I can think of in the past year, maybe Persona 5 — but on a whim, and on account of being stuck in bed for the day with a bad back, I decided to pick up Unavowed. Of course it helps that it was $13.50, backed by several glowing reviews, and from a…

The Sutton/Richard thing is so tiring and I hate when it occupies ANY of Sutton’s time, as otherwise I find her completely delightful and the best part of the show. Also anyone who finds Sam Page an unequivocal dreamboat never watched Mad Men.

Saturday morning/early afternoon is pretty much the only time you’re getting actual cooking shows on the food network. I mostly know this because that’s when all my Barefoot Contessa recordings are from.

Did they actually show anything? From the two times I watched that it seemed to be deliberately darkened.

Slightly off-topic and copied from a thread below, but possibly even sadder than a restaurant closing is a gay bar shutting its doors. Gathering spaces are an essential part of any queer community, and having Baltimore’sThe Hippo turn into a CVS was not a great feeling. And just recently the Baltimore Eagle, a…

Lol is that the one out in Pikesville? And speaking of Baltimore (and sorry for the wall of text), possibly even sadder than a restaurant closing is a gay bar shutting its doors. Gathering spaces are an essential part of any queer community, and having The Hippo turn into a CVS was not a great feeling. And just…

I don’t know how well The Descent fits this description. Yes, it’s a better movie BEFORE the monsters show up, but it’s also a scary movie before that too. Calling the pre-monster parts “not-horror” would be a bit disingenuous.

Pose is not a perfect show. The acting is spotty, pacing questionable, and dramatic stakes near nonexistent. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t one of my favorite things on TV right now. From the characters to the actors to everyone behind the camera, the whole thing is just so QUEER that I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait…
