So some of you are describing the idea of Familiar Marriages, what the Victorians called “romance’s rival” - a marriage done out of Storge, Philia or Agape, rather than Eros. Marrying someone to take care of them was considered perfectly valid by the Victorians. But is that what’s happening at the end? Is Mark Ruffalo acting out of Storge, empathetic love and caring, without a sexual component that would sully it? I would say not very likely. That casts a shadow on the marriage as a happy ending, in the comedic tradition. Is the character reconciled by putting his sexual desire aside and pursuing marriage out of unselfish love? If not, there’s no real reconciliation, is there?

drat ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK! Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!

The thing about the comedy of Urkel is you can't just be an average Joe to get the intricacies of the satire. Urkel often is styled in an almost "recursive" fashion, as each scene is layered with callbacks and narrative revelations that can be casually enjoyed, but cannot be truly admired without a disciplined study of the form. Urkel is a masterclass in wit. Each scene's inner-workings are crafted by artisans who have honed their craft for years. To understand Urkel is to be left with the question as to if Urkel really did "do that?"

Bostonposting about American Fiction: knowing where all the Boston stuff was was kind of funny bc at the beginning of the movie Monk takes a plane to Boston and steps out into the sunlight to catch a cab, at Paper Source on Beacon Street in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, MA. He got a plane to fly him directly to a fancy stationary store in a bougie neighborhood

My wife never watched Family Matters and didn't believe me when I told her how off-the-wall wacky it got with Urkel inventions, so she looked up a list of Worst Family Matters Episodes and they were indistinguishable from parody The only one on the list I remembered clearly was the one where Carl throws a party for the top brass to schmooze his way to a promotion and it gets ruined by Urkel's music-activated gunpowder invention going wrong. Jordan Peele could have made that up for laughs but nope it's real and I watched it as a kid
