I assume it must get tiresome having to point out, day in and day out, that the world has gone insane. You have my gratitude for bearing that burden. We can’t shut up about this insanity. Thanks for not letting up.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is not worthy of continued indulgence. It’s a tasteless deification of a ruthless psychopath.

In case you hadn’t noticed, the overwhelming majority of all works of art were made by dead people.

I can remember the times and understand how we missed the sexist stuff, but even at the time the racist stuff stood out to me. I always liked seeing Gedde Watanabe on ER, and wanted him to appear more often, because I felt like we owed him more roles with dignity.

But but but but wrong.

I’m dying to know. Are they going to fix the ending?

I’m astonished the name Jim Henson doesn’t appear in this article.

I think there isn’t a sane person in government who doesn’t know Trump is a threat to democracy. Trump has made everything harder for the Republicans, at every turn. They want him out as much as anyone, I’d think, because he’s no longer helping their cause.

I hate to be the white guy, but I’m the white guy: I don’t get this. Not your job to explain it to me, especially on this site, but just saying.

Yes, I understand your point. It’s a personal prefrence of yours that scifi set in the future conform to your ideas of cultural advancement. In point of fact I agree with your ideas of cultural advancement.

I beg to differ. I assume you’ve had some experience with writing yourself, and even perhaps come across Edgar Allen Poe’s instructions on how to write a good short story. A story must serve its theme, and eschew all that’s extraneous.

You’re allowed to find it creepy, as long as you’re not harboring a fundamental misunderstanding of the character’s motivations.

You’re playing shell-games with the word “creepy.”

Hey, I’m with you. For sure, the movie doesn’t challenge the tropes of media presentations of women’s narratives. But if that’s why you’re faulting the movie, it’s not the movie’s fault.

What was the creepy stalker behavior?
