Eleanor has always been the one who wanted to change. Her part of “The Good Place” in every iteration was set up to make her feel immediately like she didn’t belong there. Jason was given a similar setup, but much tighter parameters, and he lacks the self awareness to ever feel guilty about being there. We know that…

Same. Every time I see people (it should be noted: almost exclusively straight people) gushing about it, my stomach turns. It feels fetishised, both from the age difference and gay aspects.
While it only touches on a few types of monsters, the first half of Volo’s is fantastic on providing insight into creatures like kobolds, mindflayers, hags, etc. I rarely touch the monsters themselves, but the lore section is excellent.
I adore kobolds. In my current campaign, I used them to introduce the party to the idea of intelligent but very different enemies (even if their intelligence is limited by their cowardace), as well as to provide hints of the dragon that’s lurking in the forest, who the kobolds worship.
Fuck Call Me By Your Name. Fuck the continued trope that underage gay men “need” an older mentor. It’s not romantic, and it wouldn’t be called romantic if it was a teenage girl.
Emma Watson is indeed awful in The Circle. There’s a terrible American accent and everything.
Just a side note: this isn’t how viewers are calculated. It’s through Nielsen ratings, which are compiled through a variety of portable and stationary meters operated by panelists selected in order to fit the national demographic. They’re tight lipped about their panel numbers, but the best guess I’ve managed to find…
Just because reviews don’t specifically mention it doesn’t mean it isn’t a factor. It certainly influenced people’s love for it at the time, and then spread out into a trend of declaring it the best Black Mirror episode ever.
Wider context is super important when considering the praise for San Junipero. Between 2015 and 2016, pretty much every series that featured lesbian or queer women saw them killed off, many happening within a few weeks of each other. It was exhausting and disappointing. So San Junipero came along right after the peak…
See, you don’t understand. Women make things ~*sensitive*~ with their feelings and their periods and their not wanting to be sexually harassed. Men need safe spaces in order to be REAL MEN. Or some bullshit.
I went last year just after they put up the Christmas decorations. There was something like a million Santas throughout. It was amazing.
Frankly, Ren is an improvement on Vader. At least with Ren, it’s property damage instead of taking his tantrums out on the nearest underling.
It’s the film that my family all loved, every one of us. And because of that, it’s the film that I watch in order to remember my grandmother and aunt and cousin, all now gone, giggling helplessly as they finish a chorus of You’ll shoot your eye out, you’ll shoot your eye out.
I think that’s the only song on Beautiful Trauma that I’ve put into my regular listening. The rest of them are so disappointingly meh ballads that I look at Pink, then I look at Kesha, and just go back to Rainbow, because that’s at least got genuine heart and variation and fun.
Her death hit me really hard, and lingers in the same way as my grandmother’s did, nearly a decade ago. Both two amazing women that I did not take the time to appreciate enough when they were alive. I can’t make it through any of her scenes in The Force Awakens without crying.
Every so often, I remember Oscar Isaacs talking about how she kept wanting take after take of the slap, just because she was having so much fun.
Pretty sure that was how she smiled. She never went in for the sort of ‘grin at the camera’ thing, and the pursed/duck lips were usually most of the way to a smirk.
I told my wife about this last night, and she pointed out something I hadn’t thought of: it’s actually sort of cruel to do this to Gary, because... he’s a dog. He doesn’t understand that seeing Carrie up on screen doesn’t mean he will get to see her again properly.
Ashley Judd is the first to speak out about Weinstein. Rose followed soon after and has been a leading voice since.
