My perspective on this episode was of Camile growing healthier and happier. That seemed to be a theme deliberately established theme early on (with the scene of her eating pie, and her mother saying that something seemed different). Then standing up to her douchy step-dad. Then seeing that her cheerleading friends…

Margot Robbie: get a new agent.

Does Change.org have any track record of success in actually effecting change? I hear all the time about people signing up to change.org petition, but I don’t remember ever hearing about a change.org petition that worked. In the vast realm of people on the internet, even hundreds of thousands of people doesn’t really…

Kaluuya’s proven himself a tremendous actor, and he is the requisite degree of British, but I’m not sure he has action star presence. It’s inherent in someone being a good actor that they make it difficult for viewers to imagine them being anyone different than they are on screen - but still, I just can’t see it.

It is not possible that they’ll cast anyone better for the role than Melissa Benoist. She is Supergirl in the same way that Reeve is Superman, and Connery is Bond. 

“All Good Things...” is phenomenal. The amazing thing is that it was slapped together a bit hurriedly, because they were so focused with working on Generations. Generations isn’t as bad as it’s reputation, but “All Good Things...” is better in every way.

I won’t spoil Nemesis for you, in case we want to pretend it didn’t happen.

About Data...

I’ve been rewatching TNG on the blurays. There are definitely stinker episodes, but on the whole it holds up really well.

I’ve been curious and perplexed about the context in which almost all of these incredibly short interviews have been shot. Who goes through the trouble of setting up an interview that short? Are there longer interviews, which just aren’t posted? They don’t look like junkets, because the equipment and sometimes the…

I get a kick out of imagining going back in time 30 years with one of these, and showing it to a kid playing on an original NES.

McAdams starred as the title character

I was going to point this out. I barely even follow this stuff and I saw set photos of Linda Hamilton a while ago. I went back and found one of the articles - it was mid-June http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5866325/Terminator-PICTURE-EXCLUSIVE-Linda-Hamilton-seen-set-time.html

I’d commend that your observational skills clearly exceed mine, except that he’s wearing a pink sweatshirt, not a “dress”. 

For someone as insecure as this douche-nozzle clearly is, he’s quite committed to the bit with his drag (in the photo accompanying the article). At just a passing glance, he looked convincingly like a woman - so much so that my comment was going to be that it looked like an Onion stock photo of a whiny YouTube star.

Combining characters is a pretty classic feature of screen adaptations. Casting is expensive, and at the fast pace of TV storytelling, it becomes really hard to follow along if there are too many characters.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by Joel Kinnaman’s performance. He carried the role of salty-tough-guy action star in a way that so many other muscle-bound white guys routinely fail miserably at (Jai Courtney being the top example). The rare actors that demonstrate an ability to play those roles…

There’s some (maybe most) “ASMR” that repulsed me just as much. Hearing someone chew in my ear is a fucking nightmare. It fills me with hulk level rage to hear people chew. Whispering irritates me almost as much (if I can hear you whisper than what is the point of your whispering? Who are we fooling?)

I think the Corinne bit was suitably funny and thought provoking, but (even though I’d never heard of her before), I’d hope she doesn’t crucified for what she said in her appearance. Her, more than anyone else, seemed to be really aggressively pushed into saying and doing the things she did. I think it’s fun to let it…

This is right, Cohen suggests that the N-word is a “forbidden” word that would be the most effective at drawing attention (in the clips we see on the TV show - in Spencer’s pre-air story, he tried to claim that Cohen was insistent on it). So Cohen certainly plants the idea - though the lack of hesitation to do it is…
