Maybe it’s because I have hearing damage specifically in higher/lower frequencies, but I can’t hear anything but ‘laurel’. I could see both versions of THE DRESS, though I thought one was a stretch.

The whole “MY WIFE WAS MURDERED BY A MAN IN A YELLOW SWEATER” scene was probably one of the hardest times I’ve ever laughed at anything, and I still think about it and giggle from time to time. This sucks. Hulu or Netflix better pick it up.

I’m curious how many people who objected to the lack of a d-pad originally have given the d-buttons a fair shot. Like, a REALLY fair shot.

“The reasons for this are pretty clear: Nintendo’s games have been coded from the ground up to run on this hardware, while all these third-party releases are ports from other platforms.”

The prequel is much more in the style of a classic monster movie than the original, which is much more of a... I dunno, thriller I guess? And I think that gives a great justification for why the monster decided to play off the paranoia. It tried to brute force its way to its goal, got messed up, and learned/grew in…

If you’d like some more fodder for how up their ass old, white New England sports fans are about race, this was a sequence in last night’s Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) concert in Boston:

To echo others, start with the original 2 seasons, then do the movie, then watch The Return. The books are neat supplemental stuff if you end up getting really into the show, but are not required.

The special effects in general are such an amazing throwback to Eraserhead era-Lynch that I’m surprised he was able to get away with them today. It really backs up how much more creative control he has with this on Showtime vs. ABC. No way you would have seen this stuff in a season 3 on network television.

This was a great read, and really interesting/awesome to see that the movie can stand on its own and provide enough material for people that haven’t seen the show to create their own interpretations (especially regarding Bob).

I don’t think so. I think it’s pretty commonly accepted by even the diehard fans that the period where David Lynch wasn’t involved (i.e. after the reveal of the killer and before the finale) was pretty terrible.

Sorry, but I think this article has some pretty bad takes and speaks ways to authoritatively about things that are subjective or mostly speculation. It comes off like you’ve been waiting a while to be vindicated in your dislike of a feature, and you’re latching onto the new 2DS as conclusive proof that 3D was an…

JJ is a pretty awful person so I will gladly stand with Joanna on this.

You might as well ask why people watch sports, or even play video games in the first place when they can just go fight in actual wars or get into real street fights.

There was PLENTY of content in the base game to justify a $60 price tag. Purchasing this new content is also not mandatory. It’s not like this is a free to play game or this content was already on the disc. This is new content.

I’ve read the books, yeah. And to be fair, this was the 6th episode, not really just a few episodes in. I’ve actually really liked the season up to this point too, and haven’t found it as boring as a lot of people have.

I agree that it’s something that’s not surprising and completely in character for Ramsay, but that still doesn’t mean it needed to happen, or that there weren’t alternatives. It was arguably the natural progression of her storyline with Joffrey too at a certain point, but it didn’t end up going there.

The show has a lot of brutality, sure, but it’s not “about” rape. The show has made rape expected at this point, and that’s the problem.

This is very true, and something I took for granted when I initially posted. I didn’t know that bit about Roz before I made the comment, or really consider she might be receiving active pressure to downplay the severity of the scene in the press.

There’s a middle ground. The actor that played Ramsay has had no trouble admitting on record that he didn’t want to do the scene.
