I say this almost every time I comment on a New Girl review, but Hannah Simone may be one of the best comedic actresses in work when it comes to getting laughs through facial expressions alone. By the end, I wasn't really watching the Rhonda stuff at all, just rupturing a lung every time Cece reacted to some fresh

"In 2017, Maher now feels like a man without a country. Given the ongoing fallout from his most recent episode […] he could soon become a man without an audience. Liberals won’t (and shouldn’t) abide by his Islamophobia. Conservatives and libertarians might admire his free-speech defense of Yiannopoulos, but they’re

Within its limitations, that was reasonably good fun. Just goes to show how much a couple of giant telepathic gorilla warriors can add to a show. Not sure how Barry manages to carry five people while running, or how, despite his speed, he still managed to twice get Tara King'd by those poison darts, but multicavanagh

"On some planets, to write something down is to truly say it."

I know the Welsh are fond of a drink, but it's a bit harsh to say they live in it and can't even walk anymore.

Ah, I see it now, I had indeed misread. Thanks.

"[…]Larry Wilmore ripping into Yiannopoulos’ bullshit about “protecting women and children” from the transgender people he chooses to publicly out during the show’s live-streamed “Overtime” segment[…]"

This show's a tonal mess, as is the case for all Greg Berlanti's current stuff, but Camila Mendes and especially Lili Reinhart are perfect as Veronica and Betty. Mendes' Veronica is a bit of a shift from the comics, being slightly more femme fatale-ish (adore that cape) and less blasé about her wealth, but she

If you forget everything about Hellblazer and take Constantine exclusively on its own terms, it's a pretty good movie and one I wouldn't have minded a sequel to. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan was top tier casting, and even Keanu hit the right notes, as far as an American Constantine could

That is an extremely unjust and dangerous way of thinking, one which is at the roots of most form of prejudice. You're one step away from the word 'innate'.

So… your suggestion is that all Swedes should be assumed to be Nazi collaborators based on their country's history?

I think the argument is that you suffocate people like Yiannopoulos of their publicity, letting them speak to their own little angry groups until the hangers-on realise they're not getting any attention and the whole thing just dissolves, or at the very least, doesn't have any chance to grow beyond its small, spiteful

I can see why a big corporation like Disney wouldn't want to be in the vicinity of any kind of controversy, but - with admittedly little knowledge of PewDiePie's history - once you take away the video's ominous music and implications, there didn't seem to be much in the WSJ video beyond childish attempts at shock

I was in the unfortunate position of agreeing with bits and pieces of what Morgan was saying on Bill Maher, but he's still the dictionary definition of a c*nt. In the UK, he's effectively synonymous with the term.

Goddamn it, that was infuriatingly wonderful.

This looks like ursine of things to come.

The second season of Daredevil was so terrible it put me off these Marvel Netflix series completely, despite loving S1 and mostly liking Jessica Jones. I heard Luke Cage had the same problems with incessant time wasting and half-arsed 'twists', so didn't bother with that, and this looks like a retread of Arrow, only

No, it's a term which refers to those issues being presented in a simplistic, one-sided way, centred on validating and getting approval from a certain audience rather than considering those issues in their complexity and challenging the audience to do the same. 'Economics is all a big scam!' and 'Saintly women's work

How far in did you get? Seasons 1-2 might not be to everyone's taste, but if you're still not feeling it by the end of 3 or 4, it's probably not going to stick. It had me as soon as it revealed itself as a no-budget, cynical, working class comedy Star Trek.

Ah, the Bio-Electric Anemone Barinade. No idea why I love that name so much, but it's fabulous. Speaking of which, speaking as someone who doesn't play videogames very much anymore and considers the Switch drastically overpriced… goddamn, does Breath Of The Wild look glorious. Nintendo is like a girlfriend who is
