I think they’ll get a divorce. Partly due to Hollywood stereotypes, partly due to Rick’s immaturity and the lack of interaction between him & Francesca, lastly because the film ends with him leaving the house to drink with the Polanski friends. If your wife gets attacked, you should try to make sure you’re there for…

It’s an artistic choice that is designed to be reverential to the real Sharon Tate.

No, not at all. 

Did anyone notice that the film had Leo’s character pick up so many of Brad Pitt’s acting style affectations? Throughout the film Leo is snacking on things, shaking things in his hands and chewing gum. Brad Pitt doesn’t eat anything in the movie. I don’t know if QT suggested that or if Leo just decided to ape Pitt’s…

Well that’s kind of the point Bruce Lee has been mythologized into the best fighter ever and a lot of people don’t buy it

Eh, a Quentin Tarantino movie featuring the Manson family is going to get far more media and critical attention than Ryan Murphy’s big bag of bullshit TV show.  It’s a question of importance.

Yeah, he basically sat out two whole years of his emotional development. Where he is at in this season makes perfect sense, regardless of where he falls on the Kinsey scale.

You can....not click on the recaps? Which are generally released in bulk with the episodes?

She can be both! My walls were full of posters and I loved shopping trips to the malls. I also played full contact basketball and with the boys who lived next door. 

I mean I’m a big Jonathan hater but I agree that the battle in the hospital was a really intense and big part of the episode and it was weird not to talk about it

Well I think it means something like very small and I don’t see how it makes any sense to say that the relationship between genders is “very small” is all

Yeah I’m not sure that word means what you think it means

That was not a given. I was 15 in 1985 and, in my mind, I could do any job I wanted, men be damned. You write about it like it was the 50s and everyone just accepted the roles of men and women, but it wasn’t like that. We’d already had the late 60s feminism push and then all through the 70s. In the 80s, a lot was…

I’m pretty sure every time period had “gender dynamics”. The question is whether they were good ones or bad ones

Alexei, no!!!!!!!

I liked the Graviton but that was a crazy intense ride. I tricked one of my friends into going on the one at the North Carolina State Fair without him having seen what it did by telling him it wasn’t very intense. He did not want to go on a very intense ride, partly because he had just eaten several corn dogs. I still…

Yeah I felt a little bit bummed about Steve, since it was nice that he liked someone again after Nancy broke his heart. But yeah, the friendship angle is refreshing, and that way their bickering chemistry will hopefully not suffer of the teen drama of the other characters. And yeah, if there was ever a guy as cool…

If you weren’t a queer teenager in 1985, you don’t know how plausible.

Minor pushback - the paper guys making fun of their young intern is one thing for establishing the fact that everyone is playing to 80s stereotypes. Mike not apologizing is a tenth grader not knowing how to be a good boyfriend. But the absolutely terrible lines between Hopper and Joyce (and between Jonathan and Nancy),…

Response hot take: we don’t really need most TV series in general and might all be better off and more productive without a Netflix subscription. Yet we all chose to visit a site that reviews pop culture and comment on an article about Stranger Things, so there you go.
