Ooof, the second half of season two really lost the plot. The kids all started acting like cartoon characters, the whole bit about how Kreese just magically took over Johnny’s business was beyond stupid, and what was up with that absurd, consummately unrealistic drinking contest? The show stopped having anything to do…

Yeah, Glamorama and especially Lunar Park prove that statement real wrong.

Thanks for making it clear that no matter the good will of the people trying to understand the issues that are important to you, you’ll continue to be needlessly rude to them.  

Again, if there’s some way you could be more needlessly rude and obnoxious when helping folks learn these new rules, that’d be very helpful.

There’s nothing that helps everyone learn these new and complicated rules like being a smug asshole!

But Elliot Page the man was still Ellen Page the woman when that person made Juno. Are we meant to retroactively impose the current gender designation when discussing them in the past? Seems odd to refer to the then-woman as a “he.”

One of you is saying “him,” one of you is saying “they,” let’s call the whole thing off

You’ve never head someone say: “Oh, is your friend going to be joining us for dinner? What dish are they going to bring?”

Neither does Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, Vacation or Weird Science.

Are you on drugs?  Sixteen Candles is a race from start to finish. Home Alone is almost as tight as BTTF, structure-wise. Weird science doesn’t have any downtime.

See a caveman, BE a caveman.

Where she continues to repeat the same story beats they played over and over in this one?  

She beats men at chess, sure, but she remains subservient to them, even controlled by the them, throughout the series. But for the men she meets, she would never achieve the victory at the end, which really whipsaws the promised feminism.

Agreed that she’s barely more than an automaton who does little more than think of chess and want to get wasted (and maybe disappointingly banged).  At no point does she ever become her own woman, even in the final episode she being directed by others in her win.  Very strange to have a series focused on a person…

Yeah, but now let’s see the numbers on how many people stuck around until the end.  I was out at the end of episode five, because it just becomes so repetitive, and largely unbelievable in the back half.  The protagonist’s lack of agency also gets really annoying, she’s never stops being an empty vessel that other…

I am a wannabe screenwriter, and I can tell you for certain that there is no way that movie would be made today without a scene that explains how here tears cure him at the end.

No other movie ties the songs down to the story with the same success.  I have a dream is like something out of a 40's movie it’s so perfect.

Well, and they clearly had a hot woman focus group as well, because Mother Gothel is fricken SMOKING.  

I know it’s not appropriate to mention this, but Tangled also has the hands-down best boobs of any animated movie I’ve seen. Not just in design—Mother Gothel is packing an epic rack, and Rapunzel is no slouch either—but also in the way they move, 100% realistic, even better than the hair.

And then he sat back on the porch of the $12.2 million Hawaiian estate he bough with that paycheck and said, “Nope!”
