Okay, so I was NOT the only one who heard that.

I once went to a girls-only movie night where we all watched Sophie’s Choice because the hostess though it was about a love triangle and the titular choice was between the two dudes.

“When I speak I’ll own you, and I’m not ready to own you yet” is not heartwarming.

As is implicitly using (of course voiceless) women and POC as a defense shield.

I was immediately turned off by the first trailer I saw, in which Oscar Isaac declares that he won’t ask out Olivia Wilde yet because when he does, he’ll never love anyone else for the rest of his life. Like, that’s shitty manipulative behavior, and I’m fucking tired of people putting this tripe in movies as some…

I think he should do a live-action version of “Everyone Poops.”

Death Happens

Please don’t use the overabundance of white male movie critics as a reason your movie sucks.

“There’s a disconnect between something that is happening between our primarily white male critics who don’t like anything that has any emotion.”

Can I just say how obnoxious and presumptuous I find all of Dan Fogelman’s titles to be? This is Us. Life Itself. It’s like he’s setting this shit up to be the SUPERLATIVE THOUGHT PIECE ON THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE when really these names are just lazy and vague.

I knew a very charming abuser who would stare straight into people’s eyes and tell them, with the most sincer look on his face, that he had never ever punched a woman.

I love Thom Filicia as a designer. He’s so versatile and his work is so gorgeous!

Danielle, that is not rheumatoid arthritis. It is called “hammer toe”, and you got yourself a great example of it. Get the surgery and be done with it. MY SIL who has never worn heels in her life had it in both feet, got the surgeries, and still runs marathons. Rheumatoid arthritis does not just hit one joint and if…

All I have to say is that Thom Filicia comes into my cafe and he’s very nice so good for these two. Oh, also, Thom Filicia’s design business is apparently doing well so good for him for helping Carson out by agreeing to do this show. 

Eh. She’s the daughter of a fairly well known environmental activist. I don’t think we should be too surprised that this might be a hobby horse for her, and despite her age, she’d probably be the better educated person in the dispute.

I welcome this. Thom Filicia is super talented.

The sad thing is, I was such a scared, lost kid with ZERO self esteem that this very thing did seem like high praise to me at the time, that I was only worthwhile or beautiful or smart if men (particularly much older men online) thought I was fuckable. It makes me sick now, how isolated I was and the things I was…

How is it that men can honestly think telling a minor (a minor relative, at that) that he wants to have sex with her is nothing but an ego boost or mentoring or whatever garbage they manage to roll around in? 

What a hero Striegler is, helping boost the confidence of his young female relative by telling her he wants to have sex with her. Truly the sort of support all young folk need!

My mother taught me to never judge a book by it’s cover, but damn does this dude look like a creep.
