Neither. She won the popular vote, but not a majority vote. Neither the majority of the voting public, nor the majority of the people who voted did so for Hillary.

That's a really glib answer. I guess Linklater isn't for you, but it doesn't take a lot of imagination to see the point of the film. It's about character and mood and setting more than plot, but that doesn't mean there isn't a plot. Do you give these kind of criticisms to Malick films or something like Under the Skin…

It's not like I'm an objective source. I'm a huge Linklater fan and saw the film 3 times in the theater. I think I'm just more likely to give Linklater the benefit of the doubt. I get much more of a neutral feeling from his camerawork in general, and it often feels like to me he disassociates the audience from any…

How do you know it's his first love or his first relationship? You're making way more assumptions than the film is giving you. All we see is one girl he talks to on a bike, then makes out with later, and another girl he's met off screen that he talks to at a party, and then later they've already been dating for a…

I feel like the film's more neutral than that. I see it as much more of a passive observer.

I felt like I liked the scene even more because of the scene after that, when Mason is finally leaving and she gets so down on herself about accomplishing nothing in her life. She doesn't take that guy's accomplishments as her own. It's not like she takes possession of it and think "wow, I'm so great that this guy…

How much credit is he giving her exactly? Maybe we remember the scene differently, but if she's the one who initially gave him the idea, then why is it so ridiculous that he would thank her for giving him the idea that he should take night classes, or whatever. It's not like he sought her out and threw a party for…

Why though? All she does is tell him that he seems smart enough to get a college degree, and then he goes and does it, and when he sees her he says thank you. That's it. She doesn't do anything particularly out there, and he does all of the work to get himself where he needs to. Usually, self-confidence is a lot of…

What are you talking about? It's literally missing most of those bildungsroman tropes. The whole film is scenes you typically wouldn't see in a coming of age story. We don't see his first kiss, the first time he has sex, a huge fight with his parents, etc. There's no huge moment of awakening. It has no real climax.…

Come on Scrawler, that's not fair and you know it. It's not like that scene is Dangerous Minds or Blind Side. The man does all of the work and studying by himself, all she does is give him a little confidence boost. That's a really uncharitable reading of the scene.

I don't see Mary as a bully this season, although Edith certainly does. Mary in season 1 was a bully, and that wasn't admirable. Mary this season is just having fun and says casually cruel things. If Edith were even a little bit of a wit, then she could just shoot back and all would be well. Contrast Edith with Miss…

I don't blame Edith for hating Mary, but possibly ruining her sister and mother's and her whole family's reputation because she has a mean older sister is not equivalent in the least.

Yeah, again, since it's really only directed at Edith, I don't really see it that way. Mary cares about Anna and Tom and the rest of her family. She just doesn't care for Edith.

Every time the kids freak out because there are too many choices, it's adorable.

Yeah, One Piece is enormous, but I should mention that the anime is not that great. I strictly read the manga. There's something garish about the anime adaptation and it loses some of the flow. Plus, incredible amounts of filler.

I think it's fine when done well. The shonen genre is very formulaic, so it ends up being all about execution. Clearly from my defense I love One Piece, and I will be the first to admit that it is the most shonen shonen that ever shonened. But I love it because its execution is excellent. I feel like it strikes a nice…

Actually there are plenty of shonen shows that buck the trend. One Piece, for example, while having seemingly increasingly powerful foes, has actually been consistent with how powerful the enemies are and the relative limits of power levels. And weird shonens like Hikaru no Go that are about games rather than fighting…

I love Idris Elba in everything, but it's definitely a bit weird to have a black Norse God because the Vikings were mostly super white. I didn't know about it beforehand, and I didn't care when I saw it because Stringer fucking Bell was in the film, but if any set of characters have white as a defining characteristic…

I remember reading somewhere that the events in this episode didn't happen in this way for Easy Company, or maybe at all. Does anyone know if Easy Company did encounter any concentration camps, or if it was this one, what actually happened?

The fat dog dance was amazing. I don't even remember the episode, I just think of it as the fat dog episode.
