That’s fair, but at least it’s populated entirely by adults. I don’t have to watch a child ‘Whoops!’-ing and ‘Uh-oh!’-ing his way through it all.

The Phantom Menace is the clear answer here, but man, it’s weird. I remember very clearly suffering from a bad case of PMS (Phantom Menace Syndrome) at the time. I was having the hardest time actually convincing myself that Star Wars could suck. It couldn’t be true. I saw it multiple times, bought the toys (the toys…

Crystal Skull.

The most stinging (heh) “careful what you wish for” thing for me is WASP’s album The Crimson Idol, which I used to looooove. (it’s grown off of me a lot, for the self-pity. I hate pity, and self-pity is the worst kind.) WASP went “back to the roots” soon enough, but what I really wanted was for another operatic The…

What I hate most is how Lost World turned Ian Malcolm into a grimy action star. It’s like Goldblum isn’t even playing the same character.

- I remember being really disappointed in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I’m a VHS kid and Jurassic Park was my go-to movie for any rainy or boring weekend. There were no thrills in the sequel at all and in my 6th grade class, I didn’t know anyone else who liked it.

I am so glad I skipped them!

I have friends who know that my house is absolutely a non-smoking house, but when they started vaping they just sit on my couch and vape away.

Hi friends if you are reading this I’m not being passive aggressive towards you by never saying it bothers me but I post about it on the internet to strangers, I swear

This seems like one of those movies where they had a premise...and then someone said “Hey if we call it Rambo we can get Stallone.” and the other person said.... “....OH YEAH!”

In my defense, was playing the Shadowrun Dragonfall mission last night which involved a Herr Fuchs, so that might have been on my mind. But also in my defense, who gives a Fuch?

Sally needs to wake up and realize that professional acting is basically getting paid to lie and pretend, and not every role she’s going to get for the rest of her career is going to be steeped in untouchable truth. The key to good acting is finding the best way to approach that lying and pretending, which, of course,…

Who are you? The Master of Spelling?

I don’t see Barry as redeemable, and I don’t think Hader does either. I agreed with Fuches, if he was really a good person he would own up to it and admit that it was him who killed Moss, that would save Gene. But in that moment Barry doesn’t even consider it, he only considers killing Fuches, and he’s willing to…

Kudos to the show for giving Sally a great arc this season, and especially to Sarah Goldberg for nailing the part. Anthony Carrigan is a joy, but in my book she earns the non-Hader MVP spot because the theatre half of the show relies on (and receives) superb performances to keep up with the violence and abject…

It didn’t need to be completely metaphorical. This is a fictional story, not a documentary or a primetime cop show. It’s like when a TV series takes a break for a musical episode or a bottleneck that only focuses on one character or something. It’s, well... it’s art, dammit. lol

My take is that last week’s episode was largely metaphorical and meant to exist outside the rules about Barry’s universe that had already been established.

I mean, I agree that that’s the kind of delusional bullshit the characters you named are spinning for themselves, but you become something by working at it, not just telling the world and yourself repeatedly that you are that. And Janice had Barry’s number: He’s a fucking murderer.

I stopped reading your comment when you mentioned the preview. Do not watch the preview!

I feel like the strength of Gene’s opinion is somewhat compromised by Barry neglecting to tell him that he shot Gene’s girlfriend in the fucking head in order not to face legal consequence for the considerable number of other murders he committed, which, I cannot emphasise this enough, is a heroic goal to you.

Please be kidding. I see so many people unironically rationalise Barry’s murder spree away I can’t even tell any more.
