2022-02-24 03:30:23 +0000 UTCI just watched China Girl and I gotta say, I found it much tighter and more compelling than the first season…. It’s peak Campion for me. Very curious to hear the Two Friends’ thoughts!

2022-02-15 02:13:09 +0000 UTCThis American Life did a story on super bowl ads (timely!) and they had this amazing tangent where mad men imagined the pitch for Popeye. “He’s about 90 years old and he has no teeth . He’s constantly punching people and eating spinach , which enables him to punch even more people !”

2022-02-13 19:21:13 +0000 UTCBroadchurch works because how much we like David Tennant and Olivia Colman. They cast others in those roles it might not work.

2022-02-12 20:23:57 +0000 UTCDuring Griffin’s long walk to get to Sandy I ALSO came to the same conclusion. I’ll give him a pass for that, it makes sense

2022-02-12 07:59:12 +0000 UTCFor the record Rihanna’s foundation just announced $15 mil for grassroots environmental justice orgs. Not sure how much will go to oceans but I imagine she’s doing more than Popeye and angry birds contrary to the blank check family’s assumptions

2022-02-12 06:51:11 +0000 UTCApparently S2 has sort of a bad rap. Didn’t know anything about the show until BC. I got through both seasons no problem. Didn’t really notice a dip in quality. Maybe it’s because I find Gwendoline Christie so compelling that I can ignore other faults.

2022-02-11 17:51:32 +0000 UTCSo hyped for this! Love TOP OF THR LAKE. Very curious how they’ll feel about S2, because I fully believe TOP OF THE LAKE: CHINA GIRL is the best thing Campion has ever done. S1 is great. S2 is maybe one of the best seasons of tv ever?
