I can't stand Dan. He's a bad researcher and I don't find him funny. I really wish they would replace him permanently.

[(Anonymous)]

What's this podcast

[(Anonymous)]

wh... what

why

I mean yeah he's a bit obsessed with yeti and sounds like an Aussie Fox Mulder 90% of the time but I feel like his function is to be the glue that holds the rest of them together. I've listened to episodes when he's missing and they're not that great

[(Anonymous)]

Very sus, secret-maker, considering I am at least 70% sure Anna was on DW before she was on QI.

I'm still angry about this mess of a movie. It's a hard book to adapt, but it feels like they made all the wrong choices.

S!B: It's a decade later and I can still easily go on a 30 minute rant on this topic. (A rant that I've already made several times)

A list of complaints:
(mostly spoiler-free)
-- miscast roles (esp Gary Oldman as Smiley)
-- gratuitous gore and death (a headshot, throat-slitting, and extra civilian casualties)
-- Ricki Tarr as a weepy, naive romantic instead of a cynical, ruthless professional
-- a final death scene without any of the complex emotional ambivalence
-- confusing plot presentation (lack of explanations, badly indicated flashbacks)
-- unnecessary minor cruelty to a child
-- underplaying Connie Sach's contribution

*Adding a gay character could have been handled better, but I didn't mind.

[(Anonymous)]

I never read the book, but I tried the movie when it came out... I just couldn't track what was going on, or really even make sense of which character was which. Definitely didn't realize the flashbacks were supposed to be flashbacks.

[(Anonymous)]

It's real hard for me to get worked up about adaptations of things that have been adapted before and are probably going to be adapted again

It's John LeCarre, it's not like this is their one shot at it

This may be my favorite game. And it's barely a game. More like a beautiful, erotic, abstract visualization of sex.
As much as I love it, I'd be too embarrassed to recommend (or even mention) it to any of my current friends.
*partially b/c they're all straight

Sorry anon, but I find this absolutely disgusting. I suppose that's why it's a secret, though.

I feel like that about the art in a lot of the recent cartoons. Steven Universe, She-Ra, etc. But it's just not a style I like, so... *shrug*

Their complicated characters that have good and horrible traits. Like most people.

I thought Yusuke was super hot when I first watched the show on Toonami. I don't have a crush on him anymore, but he's still an attractive anime dude.

It's fine if you continue not to like the character. You won't be thinking anything bad about Charisma herself in doing so.
