Are you reading the same articles I'm reading?

There's also a big difference in programming on MSNBC— Morning Joe vs. Rachel Maddow, for instance. It's nowhere near as lockstep as Fox News. I blame a lot of this on the right becoming super right wing, which has left everyone from slightly conservative to crazy communist to become "the left."

I don't know, YouTube is especially bad. I had to monitor comments on Dear White People's trailer and YouTube one upped every other platform for outright racism and terribleness.

That info is classified. ;-)

The first episode recaps the movie but then it quickly moves on.

But that Fredrick Douglass is getting more and more attention every day!

I just want to point out that Hector and the Search for Happiness is one of the most dour films I've ever sat through. It's racist, mysoginist, and all around horrible. Rosamund Pike should be given a medal for suffering through it.

There hasn't been a real case of the week episode since season 2, with maybe the Christmas special counting as 1/2 of one. The show has become so insular and dramatic it's not a mystery show anymore, which Moftiss say is on purpose, but I didn't sign on for this version of the show.

Ah, I misremembered. It's Netflix, but only outside the US and Canada… I could have sworn there was going to be another provider…

Yeah, I'm puzzled by this, too. I assume it's a hazing-esque "we had to suffer, so now you do too!" mentality. Who cares if everyone gets a trophy?

It will be on Hulu, so no need to subscribe to CBS directly!

What is it with people and Hillary? She has been in politics for decades, her opinions have changed, and that's A GOOD THING. She is constantly willing to form coalitions to get things done instead of just yelling at clouds. She's been very effective in all her political positions.

It is exactly one sad sand castle right now, or it least it was when I saw the construction at Disneyland last month. I understand that Shanghai Disneyland has pushed back all construction.

It's really easy to be shouted over in those conversations. And in movie studios, the people that last are all yes men. All it takes it the most senior person (generally a white dude) saying, "I don't see a problem with this," and all arguments are stopped.

Can someone explain the over/the under to me?

That (very specific) example is true, but how often do you see that happening in mainstream movies? And wouldn't it be interesting for a show to actually examine how being disabled would effect mobility for a group of ghostbusters, instead of just hand waving it?

One reason I turn to fan fiction and fan art is that I see a lot more diversity in it— gender, ethnicities, sexual orientations, etc. I totally agree that fans shouldn't dictate content, but I wouldn't be sad if fan culture helped usher in more diverse stories. I have seen SO MANY straight white guy stories in movie

She says it was available for download the day after, but Hannibal was always an impossible show to find legally online. Hulu had short windows for paying members (in its 3rd season only) and NBC.com had it, but generally you had to pay on iTunes for it. NBC not being able to make it legally streamable is its own

Also, if you think cat-calling (the video I assume he's referring to) and/or general male unpleasantness when women are out in public, disppears in wealthy communities, you're kidding yourself. Or you've never experienced it. Like Adams, I assume.

You definitely don't have to see the movies— it's very self-contained.
