Tell me why any human needs a billion dollars. Tell me why people have so much excess cash that they trade paintings and sculptures back and forth for millions of dollars. There’s a maximum amount of wealth a person needs before it just becomes superfluous and they either look for inflated ways to amuse themselves…

If only we could all be “flaunt my wealth by placing my child in situations children have no purpose being in” rich.

If I was ever super rich, I would love to go to an art auction. I would feel like such an heiress raising my paddle for some art.

Saw this today, apropos:

Because the response from the borough president is new, as is the threat of them losing that tax abatement.

My feeling is that Vanessa Trump’s filing for divorce while her father-in-law is still in office is a definitive omen that the walls are crumbling around them. Were Mueller not closing in, there isn’t a chance she would have divorced her husband during the term. Whether this is a ploy by one or both remains to be seen.

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…

Sally Field in Mrs Doubtfire.

I know. I have only been able to convince one person of this. Like he could have had cancer treatment paid for by his friend but he was too “proud” to accept it. He just wanted to sell drugs because he was like fuck it, I’m dying now I can just be the bastard I have always wanted to be.

And not even getting into prestige tv “lane bitches”

The fact that these russia loving, humanity hating, classless, cultureless, chinless, dickless, spineless, Garland Merrick blocking, scheming, semi-sentient, greedy blobs of shit with horrible HORRIBLE fitting skin suits have the gall to call anyone else in the entirety of Democracy obstructionist fills me with so…

I’ve always preferred drag kings to drag queens. I think society is more comfortable with seeing femininity as performative, but turning a spotlight on masculinity and making it performative can make people uncomfortable - it forces people to question how much of masculinity is innate “being a real men” and how much…

She is right about lesbians being less visible, but I think this passage explains better why drag queens are more captivating: “Performing femininity is arguably seen as more exciting than masculinity, in large part because people can’t conceptualize masculinity as being a performance. When we think of what it means…

The sad thing is that while Hollywood tries to tout itself as being the peak of excellence, they just keep lowering the bar in favor of nepotism. Even Jason Alexander knows how to sing, dance, and act, that’s pure Vaudeville style! Instead...people will always just know him as the fat ugly dude from Seinfeld.

I fail to see how watching a set list of films isn’t the barest minimum requirement for retaining Academy voting membership. People should have to answer questions to prove they saw the film. The rules are too bloody loose.

That was also my starting point on questioning the Oscars.
Black Panther needs to win best picture of the year at the next one in order for me to ever believe in this manipulated awards ceremony.
If Lord of the Rings can win it, I have no idea how a movie with even better casting and story shouldn’t.

All of my Oscar respect went out the window between Beatty trying to deny Moonlight the clean win and Boss Baby nominated over half a dozen original and beautiful story telling anime films.
BTW, about last year...La La Land? Really? What the fuck was that about? They don’t even dance in rhythm with the songs!
Gene Kelly…

I wonder if those people consider Rosemary’s Baby real cinema. Or Wait Until Dark. Or Silence of the Lambs. Or Misery. Or The Birds. Except, oh right, those movies are made by white people for white audiences.

Right? “The Silence of the Lambs” is totally side eyeing them right now.

(And, by the way, that’s one of the few Best Picture winners that still holds up, over 20 years later. “Get Out” will still hold up 20 years from now, too.)
