Shitty movies are one thing, but shitty movies that think they're being clever by acknowledging that they're shitty are intolerable. They're basically saying "Yeah, we know this is garbage, but you assholes will watch it anyway."

Speaking on a personal level, if you've ever dealt with mental issues, specifically depression, this movie is exhausting and draining to watch, and yet astonishingly good. It may end up on my "I'll never watch this again" list, but that list includes Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan.

They don't mean salon like a hair salon, you fucking moron.*

Are there any real hits in the new season, other than How to Get Away With Murder? It seems to be particularly unremarkable overall.

Somebody else already stated it upthread, but I'm gonna be an asshole and restate it: making an "edgy" statement about how teenage girls should believe in themselves and be confident no matter what anyone else says is real fucking easy when you're a thin, blonde, attractive young woman. I don't have anything against…

Sullivan and Son, we hardly knew ye. No, really, I don't think anybody watched this show.

What an odd stance for an overtly Christian movie to take. It seems more anti-Jehovah's Witness than anti-secular/pagan/atheist/non-Christian.

My first favorite band was Duran Duran, but mostly because they had really awesome videos and they were cute, it wasn't as if they were writing deep, incisive lyrics that I could relate to in my own life. I still like them now.

I loved it. Endlessly quotable.

I've said this elsewhere, but holy shit, there needs to be a moratorium called on "comedies" about horrible, dysfunctional families, especially the kind where they all warmly work their problems out by the end. If anything, the holiday season makes that kind of shit even worse.

Oh man, I love this song so much.

Ah yes, everyone's favorite "we've run out of ideas" sitcom trope, the inexplicable, pointless celebrity guest appearance. Can't wait for the all musical episode!

The duck show looks to be getting replaced by almost the same kind of show, except this time it's a family of professional deer hunters. A&E can't get enough of this shit.

I seem to recall an essay here a while back shaming people for criticizing this wonderful family.

Yes, this exactly.

That's what I don't get, people in the town freak the fuck out over a tall lady and a guy missing a couple limbs, but Slasho the filthy, bloodstained clown is invited in for tea.

I really kinda hate the "polite society is where the REAL freaks are!!" thing. It's not even that it's unsubtle (because what about AHS is), it's that it's so obvious and unoriginal.

I was getting Baltimore from it.

"You mean you didn't hire him?" Sure, sweetie, he called up Slasho the Clown to do party tricks while the two of you are fucking.

Pardon my insensitivity, but the rich guy, is he supposed to be…impaired in some way? The dude looks like he's in his 20s but talks like a 10 year-old. And yeah, he and the mother are awful characters so far.
