For some of us the ‘90s feel like yesterday, but in fact it’s roughly 30 years ago, and some rules were different. Homosexuals were becoming accepted by many as deserving of basic civil rights, but legally recognized marriages were wishful thinking. AIDS was a fatal disease. Date rape was a thing, but “drunk people…

If having a cool pattern or baby yoda or what the fuck ever means that people will actually wear them, I’m all for it.

Yeah man, got to make sure technicians aren’t *checks notes* making a side income in a completely unrelated field.

Sex work is real work. No different than any other side gig.

It seems like someone she knows. She could have had some type of relationship with the perpetrator as a friend or romantic partner. This gave him the access to her party, home, passports and why no one thought it odd she was leaving the party with him or traveling internationally with him.

So what actually happened is Nancy reconnected with Iola on Tinder, faked her own death, and now they’re “living in sin” in Portland with two puggles apiece?

It’s got to stay utensils based. I’ll join you in line for Spoonful of Murder. While I did enjoy Pantry of Deceit, I preferred A Revenge Whisked.

YES! I’m up for some more genuinely adult, non-CGI, make-you-think kinda films. Even though there were gross parts, I can forgive those for the great characters and well crafted story.

I wont go to the theater and see it but i'll definitely get stoned at home and take a look at it.

Maybe he means he only likes anatomically modern humans. No habilis or erectus, please, and Denisovans and Neanderthals are iffy.

The redeeming quality is that it is simply put good Literature. I once spent a full week in a postmodern literature course just parsing the way she plays with language in the text. Also, I posted further down about how this piece is actually more historical fiction wrapped in a dystopian bow rather than anything…

What’s interesting to me about the prophetic angle, is that Atwood is first and foremost a historian. She has long-stated that the content of The Handmaid’s Tale was not some horror fantasy she dreamt up - she pulled each piece of it from history. It still falls well within the dystopian category, but I am sometimes…

I benefitted from a unique position, I think. I was on a near-total media blackout around the time it came out, so I didn’t really hear any of the hype/takedown about it. I’d also never seen any of the originals before. So, I was truly tabula rasa going into it, and had literally no expectations whatsoever. I found it…

Another creator who is definitely a good man is Mike Schur. I was just listening to him on the first episode of the Good Place podcast and he was clear that he *always* envisioned the cast as diverse one, and that is so much. And I can never forget Melissa Fumero’s story of being so simultaneously proud of Stephanie…

Nah, it was good. Fun. Light. 

His Ghostbusters is absolute goddamn gold. Better than the originals, IMO, because *everybody* is equally hilarious, in different and complementary ways, whereas the originals just lean on Billy Murray to carry it all, with occasional assists from the other guys.

Some years ago, I worked at a company that made a relatively small geographic move to a new building, one that put us in a new city. A few months after the move, I looked around and noticed that there were suddenly significantly more people of color in the office, as well as our first wheelchair-mobile employee (the…

It wasn’t Murray/Ramis/Ackroyd but it certainly wasn’t TERRIBLE. Kate MacKinnon was an absolute scene stealer, and is reason enough to give it a watch. It didn’t deserve universal acclaim or anything, but it undoubtedly deserved better than it got.

Paul Feig will also produce movies where the relationships between women are important and the boyfriend/romance takes a back seat. See: Spy, The Heat, and in fact, Bridesmaids is mostly about the relationship between the women. The wedding is an end-of-the-film setpiece, and the romance is pretty much B-plot. Also,…

I like Paul Feig. I also really loved Ghostbusters. I named a horse in Zelda Mike Hat.
