"There is a time and place for calypso music…" Says the nun directing 'Angels we have heard on high' at a random choir practice in the spring…
I hate when movies and TV do that! Memo to all the lazy directors and music supervisors (I think?): just because you know that Christmas carols=church music doesn't mean we

A lot of people have called it the Me Decade, that's not something the AV Club coined
(Edit)….OK, apparently that was coined for the 70s, sorry for my patronizing tone there;)

Whoa, I must've jacked into the AV Club hive mind; out of nowhere l NEEDED to watch this last night.

"You want her soul?…I don't need it"
That line…just totally dismissing the possession that Vanessa is rightly dreading and taunting his cowering, 'anemic' brother…Lucifer with,'Seriously, you have THIS woman in front of you…and taking her soul is the worst you can do?!

"Its not a medical thing; its a drill for woodworking"….Jesus fucking Christ
And that's awful enough, but then "…he'll start cutting things out" and I'm finding the lack of specificity just a bit more horrifying. I know he's an orderly, not a nurse or a doctor so maybe he just doesn't know the exact procedure…but with

John Clare used to be my least favorite thing about this series and, wow, have they turned that around.

A-fucking-men!

'…the street will run red with fucks' What a horrifying promise.

Maybe this just proves that I would be a terrible mother, but I really didn't come out of Mommie Dearest on Christina Crawford's side. If Joan did beat her with wire hangers, that's appalling.
And I know I'm mentally combining Christina with Veda Pierce, which is less than fair. But the movie is a lot more generous to

Hey what's creepier: Furby or Teddy Ruxspin?

Maybe it was meant more like…'I find Channing Tatum attractive for many reasons! And everyone agreed and said?' "a men!!"

Maybe it is also an Oprah reference (I don't know her speaking patterns that well) but repeating 'Its Not your fault' to someone with Kimmy's history is clearly a Good Will Hunting reference!

Until you consider that Pheobe's dialogue, like Kimmy's, included a lot of causally revealed glimpses at a pretty dark childhood & adolescence

Well that hair looks a lot worse on a grown man, but as I happen to be rewatching Dawson's I can say that awful hair seems to have been a deliberate choice, like his terrible wardrobe. I had either forgotten, or didn't notice the first time around, that Pacey was supposed to be a loser and Joey was written as an ugly

Making moves left and right!

I loved when Jacquelyn got all excited about the film festival when her Dad was talking about the Sun Dance "I'm dying to see Kevin Smith's new one"."He's a hack! And I was talking about OUR Sundance!"

Because they're clearly really excited that they got Nikki Reed! I'm not quite sure why…

Denker really must give incredible ladies maid, I don't know how she's kept her job. It blows my mind that anyone could work for the Dowager Countess and decide she's a gullible old lady.

Yeah, you're right. And I'm feeling a little silly to have pointed to Earned It when the actual winner was a Bond theme, which, you know, not really a franchise that can claim the moral high ground (and I wasn't saying that should be an awards criterion) on sexual violence and abuse.

Nominating that incredible Lady Gaga song, with all the survivors onstage, having the VP who wrote the Violence Against.Women Act introduce it talking about our culture problem…and then nominating/featuring Earned It from 50 Shades of Grey in the same goddamn category is the literal definition of NOT GETTING IT!
