Hulu has a lot of stuff I’d watch more often if their user interface wasn’t so goddamn fucking awful. I’d forgive the awkward, clumsy navigation and even the slowness, but not keeping track of my progress - either the correct episode or the place in the episode where I left off - is annoying as hell. If there’s a show

He’d sue you so fast.

I still find myself randomly saying “Red Eyes, Red Eyes, Red Eyes. What a treat. We weren’t expecting to see you again so...spoon!”

Sucks. I just watched the post-retooling episodes on Hulu and they were good. Aside from the great leads, the supporting cast was solid and the writing felt like it was coming together, like a season 1 Parks or The Office where not everything was in place yet but with definite potential.

Maybe

That’s great, but I would love to see her working on a comedy again.

Me either. I was baffled by the movie’s seemingly botomless advertising budget. I guess it makes sense if it’s just a long Pepsi commercial.

Yes, it hurts my brain to see it.

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but Estefan is an American citizen.

Spider-man Too: 2 Many Spider-Men

More like timeslotless, amirite!

I remember some really awful Disqus drive-bys back in pre-Kinja AV Club, but the folks running things were a lot more attentive about deleting and banning assholes back then.

Nah, these kids with their One Direction and their Taylor Swift, they don’t know about the history of real music. Us 80's kids know that Ska was invented by Madness in 1979.

It’s that damn Hansel! He’s so hot right now!

I thought the first and the last few eps of The Punisher were really good, but everything in between was boring. That seems par for the course for these shows, but they really need to work on that middle part.

Also, I just found out that Graham Greene are finally on Kindle, so up next is Orient Express!

...makes my subscription to that terrible Stitcher app worth it...

I don’t know the reasons either, but my guess is that’s how they pitched it to FX. I get Evan Peters getting top billing, even if his arc isn’t anywhere as compelling as the other characters’, but it’s pretty ridiculous for Dawson and Kate Mara to be listed in the top five even.

Not a slight against their talent.

I’m still catching up and this might have already been discussed, but what the hell is up with IMDB listing the three white people first in the cast list? Two of them are secondary characters at best.
