This is going to be awful and I will watch it at least twice.

I should have led with that, of course. I’m a huge Jane Austen fan and loved this movie a lot so I knew in my head I meant this.

I was hoping you’d comment on this :)

It’s my 65 year old father’s favorite movie.  Beloved by everyone!

My friend who grew up in LA says it is her favourite film, too. When we first met and she said that, I thought it meant she was trivial, but I’ve gotten over it through the years. It is a sharp, witty film and doubly so if you recognise your own teenhood in it.

I appreciate Clueless more in my mid-30s than I did as a pre-teen, although I enjoyed it then. It’s far more clever than it seems on the surface and the performances are perfect. You can try to remake this in earnest and cast great actors but it wouldn’t matter. Clueless is Clueless. You can’t capture the original…

Your user name grants you ultimate authority in this matter, and I agree. Listen up Hollywood! Perfection can’t be repeated.

The beauty of Clueless is that it was light-hearted and charming, and we all got to feel clever because we recognised Emma without being told, and it was way existential. And also the world was in the middle of a Jane Austen appreciation cycle.

Is this a good place to bring a doll?

Needs more Caity and Rich.

This might make me very unpopular, but Kristin Wiig. I feel like she’d be a very sly mean girl in person (the “It’s so cool that you don’t care whether boys think you’re hot” type), and I don’t fully understand the appeal of her comedy. I also wanted to slap her character a lot in Bridesmaids.

I love WATCHING public proposals. But my husband has only ever heard two hard-and-fast rules about me, and they are this: 1) when I die, make sure I’m cremated and 2) don’t EVER publicly profess your love for me.

Same. I normally cringe at things like this. I am the most unromantic person ever and am very anti public proposals. But something about this got me. 

Same.

Same same same.

YES. I just adore her. It’s a rare post from her that doesn’t make me laugh (and if it doesn’t, it’s probably one of her occasional 100% sincere posts about a dear friend or something, which is just a different kind of delightful).

Also follow her daughter Lily for a similar kind of humour, but with 100% more jokes about Michael Sheen in Twilight.

Update: totally worth it. 

Ok, just started following her based solely on your recommendation.

I saw Kate Beckinsale on the Graham Norton show and she was hysterical. She loves dressing up in two person costumes and was so nonchalant about it. Following her on Instagram was one of my better decisions. She posted a video of her ex, Michael Sheen, putting on one of the costumes and I still go back to it whenever I…
