Regarding 4 - this is that Anakin type character done well. He is fraight with uncertainty and fear. He thinks his power will make him feel better. He isn’t in control. He actually seemed mentally unstable, versus Hayden’s “I’m acting... I’m mad.. meeeeeeh” performances (though more Lucas’s fault than his).

“Mostly correct, but the “say, what’s in this drink” line really is about how deliberately strong he made the drink and how she is feeling the alcohol. “

“What’s in this drink,” was a common old-timey joke that meant the roughtly the same thing as “i’ll blame it on the alcohol,” now. The person uttering it knows full well their drink is perfectly normal, but don’t want to admit they just did something, so they pretend it’s the drink that caused it. Although, as you…

But there is even lines like, “I really ought to say no, no, no now,” like half way through the song. Which lets us know that she also doesn’t feel that she was saying no. She counters her own resistance and that is true even without his contribution. This is a young couple who want to have sex and are looking for…

Her dialogue makes it clear it’s not a case of just putting more pressure on. “I *ought* to say no no no sir” “at least I’m going to say that I tried” “maybe just a half a drink more” “maybe just a cigarette more”. She then goes on about how her concerns are all about other people but she’d like to stay. And he’s…

so your problem is with the now obsolete sexual mores of the time, not the song. I don’t have an issue with that, as such. but its important to aim righteous indignation at the right target. the song isn’t about supporting it, its about bucking it.

so since that oppressive system is mostly defeated now, why not…

That’s not a “disturbingly real” version of the song, it’s a rather outlandish satire based on how 40s language sounds to modern ears. It’s funny because it’s over-the-top. Frank Loesser wasn’t writing about duct-taping and raping his wife, of course, but the idiom is a little archaic, and lends itself to exaggeration…

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?

Someone on Twitter recently (I wish I could remember who) pointed out that, the way it was originally written and performed, what this song is really about is a woman who wants to buck social norms of propriety and stay with him but feels pressured to leave so she doesn’t suffer social consequences and stigma. And…

Now that I try to recreate the plot of season 1 in my mind, it was also pretty terrible. Really - summarize the plot of season 1, and try and convince someone that it makes logical sense.

As imaginary co-author of “If You’re Gonna Throw Your Life Away, He Better Have a Motorcycle, And Other Life Lessons From Lorelai Gilmore,” I take offense at this.

Hold up, you haven’t watched the oracle that is Gilmore Girls before every big life changing decision? You and I live very different lives then, my friend!

This Is Where I Leave You was fucking wonderful, what are you on about?

I don’t think anyone is saying don’t voice your opinion.

I think you’re missing the fact that this is a matter of opinion. I loved some of those movies. You didn’t. Oh well.

So what are they saying... that a bear can’t rape a man because it’s female?

I just don’t understand how people have all this free time to watch so much TV. By the time I get home from work, I have maybe 3 hours of awake time. I can’t and don’t commit to many shows. Serial shows are too much effort for me. I’ve dropped a lot of shows over the years. I definitely stopped watching the Daily…

everyone needs sunblock. you might not need SPF 75, but you still need it.

I believe you, but I don’t believe Tina . She’s Greek, right? She’s Mediterranean. Her skin is fair olive. Me too. We tan.

Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?
