Reading this article makes me actually want to have kids. Just so I can send them to the Hunger Games. Read more

Wow. Sometimes I think authors get a little litigation happy, esp. the big name authors (i.e., JK Rowlings), but this mess definitely deserves to get shut down. Suzanne Collins must just be reeling if she's heard about this, considering her intent was to address the horrors of violence, not glamorize it (notably the Read more

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

YES!!!!! That mini was so goddamn good! And really even-handed with the feminist message. It was a much more complicated view of gender relations than the entertaining but unsubtle The Fall. Read more

I love "Top of the Lake" so damn much. It's essentially a filibuster against rape culture in the guise of a mystery. What really captivated me about Robin (and I may have used this turn of phrase on here before) is that she's such a perfect demonstration of why "strong female characters" and deeply flawed/damaged Read more

I really, truly don't understand how Anna Wintour rose to Queen Bitch of the fashion world when she always wears the same vague outfit and has the worst haircut ever seen on a woman.

I really appreciate this recommendation!

Glad to see more promo for this show. Watched it when it was on Sundance and seldom found anyone to discuss it with...quite frustrating! Read more

If anything, it's making me real excited about these crazy long silver hairs I've been finding on my head. And also, it is amazing and different and the only bad thing about series like this being available all at once is that it only stays on the medias' mind for a brief amount of time, I am glad I've been reminded Read more

I watched it when it aired on Sundance.I found myself completely immersed. Read more

Well, American Ninja Warrior is now on the back burner this evening! Thanks for the recommendation. Read more

Elizabeth Moss looks so young in this series. I didn't see the date of production so I naturally assumed it was pre Mad Men. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good but ended abruptly. Still would recommend. Read more

You've never lead me wrong before, so consider my job quit. Read more

Children performing scenes from BREAKING BAD is incredibly disturbing. Read more
