I had a relative who was engaged in a less than legal profession and helped those with means indulge particular habits, some far worse than others. Some of these people were those our society has invested with a certain degree of power and some of these people are fairly well known. I'll simply say this; look at what…

Ah, for some reason I thought it might be more technical or esoteric. Thanks for the illumination.

I can forgive the "edginess" of the villainous executive, mostly because paying a tramp in order to beat the hell out of him, sad to say, really isn't that far fetched.

You've been terribly rude, Commish. What's to be done about that?

I think it says a lot about me that I'd immediately begin investing in emerging technologies and become a super villain, before staging a parade in my own honour set to the music of Prince.

I think that's the biggest problem I have with the film; it tries to hammer in emotional beats regardless of their how appropriate they are in context. That and the fact that Lois seemed to have developed the power to make other people speak in exposition. Given Snyder's noted talent for visuals (even if he can't…

Transparent is in the awkward position of having a truly wonderful and excellent lead performance, surrounded by completely tedious shit.

I know very little about the Emmys, aside from a gleaned notion that they're generally about as accurate as the Oscars when it comes to identifying truly exceptional work, but is there a reason Hannibal hasn't been nominated?

As a lot of people have already observed, it was a mishmash of tropes and ideas that sound entertaining on paper, yet it lacked a substantial emotional human element. I do like it, but I often find myself comparing it to The Rocketeer, a film that didn't lack for heart and glorious b-movie schmaltz.

Ah excellent, I haven't had much music to brood to lately and this fits the bill nicely.

We would have also accepted consarnsit, dagnabbit or the ping made by spit perfectly hitting a spittoon.

Because different and different is scary and everything must stay the same way forever and oh look a butterfly.

Yep, I don't think he's Hitler, I just think he's a somewhat shady businessman who has cultivated an affable and avuncular presence in the comic book industry that is kinda at odds with numerous accounts of his past behaviour. Didn't think it was a particularly controversial view but apparently jokes about Stan Lee's…

So, internet, what do you do to stave off the, you know, self harm?

I find them charming, in a kinda dorky way.

Wow, kinda going to a guy's funeral after co-opting his ideas and claiming nearly of all his success for himself, while allowing himself to become the figurehead for the company that screwed him over multiple times, essentially stole his characters and had to be taken to court by his widow. What a champ. Sorry I have…

"Mr. Robot has to be in Elliot's head"

The Dark Army. I think.

I think we're both wasting our time here.

Actually, that is an excellent point; there very well could have been a genocide against white middle class hipsters when I wasn't looking.
