I loved her Wendy.... because despite all the snivelling and abject terror, despite her barely even getting the words out sometimes, she STILL got the job done and gave her all for her kid. Every time I see it, I am simultaneously fist-pumping cheerleading for her & half wanting to shake her by the shoulders. She’s…

Me too. She’s the perfect Olive Oyl

As a child I watched Shelley Duvall’s Fairy Tale Theater every day after school. I’m from Houston and because everyone in the south knows each other somehow, my grandfather got me her autograph for my birthday one year.

Faerie Tale Theater was everything to me when I was a kid.

Did you really just equate Dr. Phil to Syria

Exactly and if the shining is the only thing you know her by, you would think she was a terrible actress because Kubrick destroyed the character and turned her into. A screaming nag. The Wendy of the novel has her own agency and inner life. The Wendy of the movie is a sniveling mess.

But it’s called reporting. I mean, to use and extreme example, 30 seconds of the Syrian war would show us its awful but should we not report on the whole thing?

*Without mocking those individuals.

I watched part of it and just didn’t need to or have the desire to give it more ratings so I changed the channel. It was a lot like watching two of my close relatives with schizophrenia and I would be really mortified if they were put on display for the whole world. One, like Duvall, refuses to take medication and she…

I’m peeved that people just reduce Duvall’s career down to The Shining. Her career is chock full of great directors and her exemplary work behind the camera for children’s entertainment. She is a gentle soul and does not deserve this, leave her the hell alone.

The demonstration I bought a bus ticket for is a Saturday, one-day protest. I work Monday-Friday, 9-5.

“Notice it took a leaked video of him saying he feels he has the right to grab women and also feels compelled to kiss women he finds attractive for women to come forward. Just like it took a male comedian joking about Bill Cosby being a rapist for his victims to come forward.”

How about racism, misogyny, homophobia, Islamaphobia, proto-facist tendencies, and a willful disregard for fact-based reality?

Look, I’m not going to say you should kick his misogynistic ass to the curb, but you should totally kick his misogynistic ass to the curb.

This hurts my brain.

Make a better choice for a mate.

this is the real america. unhinged and uninformed, batshit crazy and proud of it.

Right? You couldn’t PAY me to leave my house on a Saturday in January in DC. Obama getting inaugurated wasn’t even important enough for me to shift myself, because it’s cold and crowded and hard to get to, which are all things I dislike. But you can bet your ASS I will be there protesting on January 21. I’ll see you…

And...he’s still your fiance?

But I’m esp’ly curious about pay+violence
