Well in it the main male character is also a victim of Hannah Baker's sadistic mind games with her tapes and everything. Hannah wasn't exactly a very sympathizeable character. She was smart, beautiful, had a good home environment but threw it all away by killing herself for mostly trivial reasons, bordering on narcissistic way of thinking. She was in total control of herself and her suicide was her own conscious decision, not everyone else's like the show kept saying.

They also have a male character who comes from a very bad home environment with a drug addict mother with a string of abusive boyfriends as well as an awkward boy who is bullied and outcasted by the school. These two were the more sympathizeable characters who were perhaps had more of a reason to kill themselves than Hannah. If it were Tumblr nonsense, these two male characters wouldn't have their problems portrayed.

Depends I guess.

Still seems like it's following a tumblr narrative. Men have agency and women don't. She killed herself because of those around her.. even if the reasons are trivial to people like us. Tumblr feminism dictates that every slight against a woman is a huge deal. Not sure if the men you listed killed themselves or not.

If I remember correctly, one becomes homeless or at least moves out, one seems to be preparing to commit a school shooting, and another male character attempts suicide out of guilt for what he's done.

Lol.. sounding more Buzzfeedy too me..

Yeah.. sounding more and more like a feminist show. Remember the modern feminist motto.. "woman victim, man bad".

There's a reason why it's garnering so much controversy. Ironically, some of the people Hannah makes tapes about are actually more sympathizeable than her to so many critics of the show.

Yeah, of course some critics will be able to think outside feminist dogma. Which is sad for the makers of this show, because not everyone is going to applause and feel sympathy for a emotionally masochistic/narcissistic female character who seems to conform to the core buzzfeed demographic.

I know that.. but if we were to be totally honest about what this show is expressing I'd be called a "sexist" by many feminists. It's all a joke.

Meanwhile a woman was recently sentenced for encouraging her boyfriend to commit suicide. Because she wanted to be the "grieving" victim hogging girlfriend.. lol.

She wanted to attain her special masochistic crown of victim-hood that she see's glorified on websites like tumblr and buzzfeed and apparently this Netflix show you are describing.

I used to like Supernatural but the past three seasons have been horrible. I do, however, love Fringe and your older shows such as Full House, Family Matters, Fresh Prince of Bel-air, Step by Step, and the Nanny.

I love the movie Coraline for some reason. I could re-watch it over and over again
I have a thing for certain animated movies like James and the Giant Peach, Antz, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory OG, etc.

The last show I watched was How to Get Away with Murder. Season 3 sucked so I don't plan on finishing it

Narcos and Bates Motel are two of my fav shows as of late
I'll prob re-watch them too lol
I loved Hereos and Smallville in it's time.. the first few seasons were so good

Aaron Sorkin is a literary titan.

He's the best in the business at screenwriting and creates these brilliantly layered and nuanced characters, and he is unquestionably the best at writing dialogue I have ever seen.

His two most well-known TV credits:
1. The West Wing
2. The Newsroom

Some of his best film credits:
1. Charlie Wilson's War
2. The Social Network
3. Moneyball
4. Steve Jobs

I'm on my third pass through The Newsroom this summer, just about to start season three. It is utterly and completely perfect in my opinion as a filmmaker.

I love how I meant your mother.

 

[Travelers.Soul]

I used to love Lost and a whole host of TV shows....now TV tends to get on my nerves unless it's some kind of documentary show, british drama/masterpiece, or show that has moved to Netflix.

Movies....The latest movie I've seen that I thought was outstanding was Hacksaw Ridge.

 

[Rigatoni]

Currently watching Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Although, I liked the earlier POTC movies a lot more - Blackbeard didn't seem like that much of an antagonist, unlike Davy Jones. Haven't seen the newest movie yet, however.

The Social Network is one of my favorite movies.

Moneyball is a movie I recommend to anyone and everyone.

The Newsroom is amazing.

I've never seen Charlie Wilson's War but my mom has and she said it was great, so I guess I'll be watching that soon too. And I've not seen Steve Jobs yet.

Saw it twice at theaters. Nice to know that you can still be an action hero without taking lives.

Lol.. you missed the little Easter egg scene where he stabs someone through the eye sockets with a fork.. lol.

..Just got around to watching an episode of Touched by an Angel from the Season 1 DVD I bought a while ago. I really like the idea they put behind this show. I especially find it humorous how Della Reese and Roma Downy squabble with each other in it. If I imagine hard enough I kind of think this is how real angels play around with each other sometimes.

Million Dollar Baby is a good film..

So is The Founder, Jackie Brown.. a few Netflix films I've been watching.

I remember watching parts of an episode back when I was a child. It was the one with the midget who works at a circus, was fearful of being shot out of a cannon, and talked to the angel while looking himself in the mirror in disgust.

If I can get a hold of the show on Netflix or iTunes, I would love to give it a look.

How can you handle a hammer or a screwdriver? Can you put things together?
