UM, I’m fairly certain they film these things ahead of time, but yea, blame Katy for the news cycle, that makes total sense.

But if there was no release contingency in the contract, the tour management could have simply said “No, you can’t leave, it would be a breach of contract” and likely the dancers would have stayed because that shit is expensive to litigate. Instead, Swift fired them.

Kinda like Playing House? I would watch.

AS I always do on biopics, I wikipedia’ed the ages of the real people and the actors and am surprised and pleased to announce that Emma is only one year younger than BJK was at the time. I really was shocked, they usually use much much younger actresses for these things (cough JLaw, cough cough)

Oh god, yes, I saw that and just... cringed. and it made me very very skeptical of Legion, but lady must have sold her soul to the devil in between those projects, because she brings. it. for Legion.

Fun fact: Hunnam isn’t Charlie’s last name; it’s just an abbreviation of the noise everyone makes after looking at him: hunnamanamnam

I believe a large part of the thought process is “We could make this a franchise”

I have had the same internal debate: Impeachment? Or ice-cream-and-fried-chicken-induced heart attack? What would I rather? And I concluded I want to see the bastard in cuffs. I want him humiliated, and I want him alive to feel it happen.

It sounded to me like she was imitating Lana Del Ray’s voice at times, too?

He finally emailed me today, including “I’m trying hard to put myself in the shoes of some of the characters but the whole thing is so tragic and hard to relate to that it’s really hard for me.”

My dad had a lot of the same questions (though he hadn’t read the book), and here’s some of what I said:

My dad and I have been arguing over email because he just doesnt think it’s realistic at all. I have decided to do the mature thing and give him the silent treatment half our of spite and half out of self-care.

I didn’t know Keenan still worked here! Where ya been, JK?

I am a devotee of Shade Court; it is literally the highlight of my week.

I also live for the shady side of life, but I think there are some finer points worth considering here: This car was not successful. Was there any reason to believe that the intended recipient would see it, and would wonder - even for a second - if it was not on purpose? No, I think they would have known it was on…

Praise Be. May the Lord... um... not open... the floor... for voting? Binged the Handmaids Tale last night, feeling a bit ... out of sorts today.

AW fuck that makes me so sad. I miss that guy. Look at that goofy puppy dog face.

This makes me giggle like a literal school girl. I mean, I loved 1989 - lots of fun. But I never really “got” the idea of Harry as a “bad boy.” He’s so sweet. I mean... Look at him. Look. At. Him. 

that’s helpful context, thank you. I still think its in some ways sexist, but at least there’s a rationale.

Not me. I’ve had a sad old lady crush on this moppet since the One Direction days. He’s got charm. for. days.
