Seriously. Even stuff like Bonus Family, which is the Swedish equivalent of a middle-of-the-road dramedy, is miles of ahead of any of its U. S. counterparts.  

Nah, I’m pretty sure they would have made fun of it the same way they made fun of the “woke” Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad. 

Right. More like they were discontinuing a particular persona. 

Nothing you wrote contradicts what I said. 

Yes! Were they just too similar to brown to continue?

I…think you missed the point.

Julia Fox is the absolute most perfect casting for that role, though, even if the movie will inevitably be shite. 

Tanveer Wasim “Tan” France (né Safdar). France is his married name.

Entirely unnecessary. 

How’d that work out in 2016?

They were together — they are raising two teenagers — just not married.

I don’t know if “simp” is the right word, but no one should be giving Trump airtime. You can’t ask the “tough questions” when you’re dealing with someone who is incapable of telling the truth.

Forget the bangs, those early 2000’s eyebrows did not age well. 

Roman isn’t Shiv’s younger brother. She’s the youngest child. 

It was the most stressful movies I have ever seen. I’m glad I saw it in the theatre — my last one before the pandemic — because I would have pressed pause about 100 times at home. Definitely worth seeing. 

To be fair, I don’t think she was running around giving away major plot points. I think she was just frustrated with students who were obsessed with being “original” without really understanding the fundamentals of good storytelling. 

I can’t speak for the book, as I haven’t read it, but I would argue that Fight Clubs stands up even when you know the twist in a way that the Sixth Sense doesn’t. 

My old creative writing professor always insisted that there was no such thing as spoilers — that if a book or movie was genuinely good, you could know exactly what happens and it would still be an excellent read/watch.

Tino’s only, like, 45, though. 

Fair enough, but they did manage to work it into the show in a believable way (hitting the rent control jackpot is something that really happens).
