You know if they didn't try so hard with using "Everlasting Love" at the end of that preview, this might have won me over. Still, Clive Owen with 5 o'clock shadow is intriguing...

it's interesting how much our childhood selves influence our reading of the books we grew up on. I really loved this series too, and while I missed the romantic angle of Anne's love for Diana, I really identified with, or at least sought for, those really deep friendships with the women in my life. I always thought it…

or Bennett?? Biggs does not deserve this cover, neither for his role in the show nor his acting.

I can barely sleep now after seeing all those "sexy" scenes of them together in Scandal. Whyyyyyy did they try to make this a thing whyyyyyyyy? And I'm so sad that Harrison turned out to be a jerk in real life and now they'll probably really push this pairing because there won't be anyone else to smush together for…

NO. NO. NO. Quinn, Huck, get away from each other.

OMG yes. It's like those restaurant owners who are upset about having to pay health insurance for their employees because god forbid they invest in their employees! Not like people care about customer service in dining out! I can't even deal with those douchebags.

Willfully mispronouncing Beyonce's name like that is SUCH a microaggression (well probably not so micro). Basically he's saying that he will identify her as he pleases, in the context of a guy who understand French inflections but will not accept a different interpretation of the sound in reflection of her own…

It's not that about the cost of individual weddings for guests, it's more that, if you're a person of a certain age (late 20's-mid 30's), these weddings are coming all you all at once, at a time of your life when you might only starting to be making some money or have enough vacation time or not at all, if you're an…

Hey, that's on My Brother Sam Is Dead! Nice to see it's still a grade school staple ...

A thoughtful, meaningful gift is romantic — "whenever you take me out for a meal and pay for it all" is somehow similar to that? Nope, it's not. If it was implied that the thing she liked was the planning part, but sure, but the whole point of her card is because she feels defensive about feeling happy when her guy…

I still feel like "paying for my meal is romantic" and "I sew better than you" have gendered implications. Paying for my meal is NOT "selecting a restaurant that you know I'd be really excited about". I don't understand what part of having people buy you things is supposed to be romantic. anyway, whatever, this couple…

OMG I clicked on the YouTube link above and once they started singing I knew something wasn't right. Lea Salonga has never sounded that squeaky.

How would you clean a big down coat with visible dirt/grim stains? Like dirt from leaning on sides of subway trains and grim, not food stain variety. I tried the label instructions but it's not looking any cleaner.

LOVE LOVE LOVE her speech, but isn't the "lying by omission" part a bit problematic when addressing a crowd that includes the transgender community? I guess it's difficult to find a less clunky way of saying that she was tired of the assumptions about her sexuality by nondisclosure. Still, good for her, she's…

I definitely will. I saw American Hustle and it was absolutely overrated. I can't believe anyone besides Amy Adams was even nominated from that movie, so I'm probably just reacting from sheer annoyance.

I feel like none of the voters actually watched the Nelson Mandela movie or 12 Years a Slave. That's how they can just give 12 Years Best Drama without acknowledging any of the acting in either movie. I just have a really, really hard time believing that Matthew McConaughy did a better job than the other contenders…

Feminine hygiene leads to feminine hijinks.

Thanks for your thorough explanation here about how those words get misused. I agree with your point that we need to have more nuance when it comes to labeling something as racist (it's something I've said before in the Katy Perry post), but my concern about it is that, in general, somehow POCs still have to…

Do not trust your doctor,

OMG I've beeeen Amy in this bit. Only it was real life and awkward.
