Kathryn VanArendonk

really had to put on my detective hat to figure that one out

i know horror movies usually signal doom with like, doors creaking open, or eerie shadows, or foreboding music

but as an alternative, i suggest: finding your elementary aged kid in bed, still wearing a fleece, under the covers and fully asleep at 4:30pm

have never seen a show with so little full frontal nudity be so painstakingly explicit about what exactly was happening to everyone’s dicks at every given moment

yay!!!! SO excited to read!

i understand that "tech ceos don't value child development" is like the least surprising statement but the truly astonishing part of this clip for me comes earlier when altman says that chatgpt is a genius so he feels really bad when he asks it questions about stupid things, like parenting

8yo, understandably, has used this opportunity to try out some fairly advanced vocabulary

husband late at work today

long discussion at dinner of for-tv edits of movies

children now wandering around the house delightedly shouting I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MONKEY FIGHTING SNAKES

strongly agree

there seems to be a lot of sex in this hockey show, kathryn

guys shhh @sepinwall.bsky.social just texted me

I do think he's effective in the sex scenes, and I think he's better in scenes with Connor! but whenever it's him and anyone else ..............

although the other part of it, for me at least, is that connor storrie is very very good! so then you’re left finding explanatory language for williams’ comparative blankness

I think my take is less generous, which is more like, book readers are able to do a certain amount of BYO emotional investment, and are then looking for all the available hooks to hang that on. but yes, regardless, I definitely agree it’s an artifact of adaptation

during the sex scenes it’s fine! my issue is these alleged microexpressions … any other time

both are beautiful butts! excellent asses, great work to everyone

this is my grumbling subtweet about the fans of a certain new tv series, you cannot make me excited about someone's "microexpressions," this is not the 2009 tim roth-led procedural Lie To Me, that is just acting!! that is what screen actors do for their jobs!

getting dragged away from the bar yelling BUT OFFICER BERTHA WAS RIGHT

why were you eavesdropping on my conversation alan

yes thank you! 11yo sampled that one and i am thinking will go back at some point but is currently flying through all of spy x family (and so 8yo is too) and i'm trying to rapidly find more options for when that binge ends

Ty!!

browsing for tween-appropriate manga, have stopped to contemplate a very contemplative looking cover with the title I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

a The Nevers stan?????!?

I am not our official recapper but I will for sure be writing about the show again!

SURE but like .... he needs to be able to say dialogue with emotions in it????

uh huh

just because they are boring in real life doesn't mean they should be in fiction!!

Heated Rivalry Tackles Its Biggest Flaw Head-on In episode three, the series expresses all the things Shane and Ilya can’t say to each other.

heated rivalry ep 3 was a good decision i think!!! (not entirely because i think connor storrie is a much stronger actor than hudson williams, but not NOT because of that)

idk I’m nostalgic, I will miss that level of concierge service

but, and I mean this sincerely: does Netflix care so much about its tv that its head of programming might organize a bunch of twitter sock puppets to yell at me and @sepinwall.bsky.social for posting negative opinions about its shows?

it does not

if you've heard of every single thing on my top 10 lists, i have missed an important opportunity as a critic
