Yeah, exactly. Here’s the thing: if you’re someone with anti-social personality disorder, narcissism, BPD, whatever, and you’ve gone so far off the deep end that you spend your free time murdering people, you don’t have a lot of sympathy for complete strangers to you. You’re thinking about your own interests. So if…

I’m not trying to be flippant, but I’d say that the “serial killer is going to keep escalating until they’re killing constantly” is more a dominant motif for fictional serial-killer drama than real-life murderers.

I assumed it had to do with the question asker assuming he would side with the gay man in the scenario. Which, yeah, was kind of rude to say. But . . . dude. Take the high road.

I guess I agree with the gist of Dan’s advice to HISBUM (her only real recourse is to get over it or issue an ultimatum), but I think it was pretty shitty to accuse her of being a homophobe AND being controlling. This dude can feign ignorance all he wants, but he’s still engaging in sexualized behavior with someone…

Looking forward to celebrating Chris Evans’ ten-year anniversary of claiming that he’s finished with acting.

Absolutely loved that scene of Holden wandering through the hazy, dreamy blackout room. I just figured it was sociology students being weird, but the reviewer implies it’s a thing that’s done. Can anyone fill me in on that?

As far as I understand it, the understanding of pedophilia in the late 70's was that it was sexual perversion akin to (and often intertwined with) homosexuality. I suppose this takes place after some (limited) mass exposure to LGBT issues in the general population, but the understanding is certainly going to be…

As other people have mentioned, one of the nice things about this show is that it very much limits the “disposable woman” tropes, so it feels less voyeuristic and cringey than other media of the same genre. There’s more discussion of misogyny as a concept but on the whole it’s a less misogynous show than, say, True…

It’s stunning enough to remember that at the time that episode aired, I was depressed enough that there would be another full year of Trump futzing around the political arena. I didn’t even consider that there would be four (or God forbid, eight) more years after that.

I mean, she had a Lifetime reality show called “Roseanne’s Nuts”.

Read “Paul Schrader” and thought “Paul Scheer” at first, which made me very sad.

No . . . the joke is on us. The joke has always been on us.

But . . . I thought everyone was “shocked” and “appalled”?

At the reception afterward, probably.

I think we need to draw a line between the two types of bad Rick and Morty fans. There are the ones who harass people and send people death threats and so forth, which I like to think those of us around here wouldn’t run into very often, since those kinds of people tend to congregate around the cesspools from which…

I don’t know if I could put them in a particular order, but:

Club Foot - Kasabian
Lady- Modjo
Cult of Personality - Living Colour
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Pick Up the Phone - Notwist

And even though they’re all probably pretty cringey now, I have a special place in my heart for Green Day’s videos from American Idiot, specifically…

That gas-mask imagery in the thumbnail legit gives me chills. I’m in.

Do you consider “rerunning Star Wars trilogies with each movie in four-hour blocks to smash in 90 minutes worth of commercials” as “drawing in high profile respected actors”?

One word for you: Rihanna.
