I remember watching this movie with my grandma when I was, like, 5. I loved it then, and Grandma seemed genuinely surprised when I said as much. We then tore into a bunch of other classic films, starting with Blackbeard’s Ghost and then proceeding to The Love Bug, That Darn Cat, and Bedknobs & Broomsticks.

Spoiler:…

This movie and the original We’re No Angels are THE BEST. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched them both, starting when I was maybe 5 years old.

How have I never heard of “Mango Unchained”? Brilliant!

They only reason they haven’t is because Mango Unchained has hasn’t assigned Ambassadors to most countries, and there’s no one there to fuck things up.

You’re right— that dress is nice. I guess I was only looking at the candidate’s outfit, which is just blah. Ok maybe they do have some decent stuff. But man, I was in a Talbot’s today and it’s 100% for my retiree mom. Preppy, lots of inexplicable quilted vests.

I have CRAPLOADS of motherfuckin poise and culture, bitches. #BecauseImALady

Given how sexist advertising typically is, I have no complaints with these little commercials. (The purse full of crap one is actually kind of funny.) Sure the hashtag is a bit silly, but, again, I’ll take this over the numerous sexist tropes we see in advertising all the time.

I’m a fucking lady, that’s why.

“Lady” is a very underrated word. I try to use it at least once a day.

I also loved her hair.

That to me is actually very clever. Because in the phase of your life when you cram your purse with pacifiers and squeaky toys, you can be so overwhelmed that you shove the $100 bill someone just handed you into the bottom of your handbag while you are sprinting to keep your kid from flailing into the street— then it…

This isn’t particularly mind blowing, but it’s not bad. We don’t have to shit on every piece of advertising that tries to empower.

Nobody remembers when they did something insensitive, because it didn’t impact them the same way it did the other person.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT CARRIE WOULD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS?!

I wonder how much satisfaction Ronan Farrow got out of writing that piece about Weinstein. I’m sure he’d like to see his estranged father* taken down in the same way.

“I just don’t want this to turn into a witch hunt,” said Woody Allen, frantically looking for a place to hide his broom and cauldron...

No mention of Shaun of the Dead? (Okay, it’s a little scary. But hardly horror-movie scary.) Or What We Do In The Shadows?

I was nodding through pretty much this whole list. Was also about to suggest Cabin in the Woods for those who do okay with gore and scares if it’s well-leavened with excellent humor.

Ok, I love this time of year, so forgive the new account, but I wanted to tell the story my grandmother told me. I can’t vouch for it completely, but she’s a very no-nonsense woman and I’ve never caught her in a lie (besides maybe how many martinis she’s had). Anyway, we’ll call her Betty. Betty grew up in Kansas in…
