And if you saw someone in your apartment in a building like that, I bet you (or ANY of us) would never jump to “Home invasion!” especially when (a) he answered the fucking door, which robbers would never do, and (b) you know you live in a confusing building and might make a mistake. 

WP (white power)- it’s the one we were all arguing about the lady doing at the supreme court hearings. This guy is so stupid, he’s doing it backwards and thinks that he needs to do it with both hands, to make it REALLY obvious (or they flipped the pic?).

It was a legit call, IF it was applied regularly. He absolutely was coaching. But, as Billie Jean King said, that should be legal, and, barring that, punishment should be universally applied. 

I just find it strange when virtually every other sport allows coach-player communication relatively constantly. Again, I’ve played a fair amount of competitive tennis, and I can’t see how communication that doesn’t slow down the game would be a detriment to the sport.

Right!

Again: why is it *her* penalty if her coach is pulling shit? If he was coaching illegally (which, yeah, it wasn’t a thumbs up), he should have been booted. I’m also kind of confused why that would be illegal- if both sides could do it, it wouldn’t degrade the game at all- but even then, it was the coach, not her.

As someone who played high school tennis, I’m kind of baffled that hand signals from a faraway coach would be illegal. I know I was never anywhere NEAR this level and I had a stunningly hands-off coach, but even if that signal was saying “Shoot it straight down the line” and even if that helped her, I’m kind of at a…

I will say: speaking personally, it’s not the breaking out of the dick that pisses me off the most. The vast majority of women have had a dick pulled out or dick pics sent to them without consent. That doesn’t make it right, but it does make it somewhat unremarkable.

Just watch Manhattan and imagine an inferior version. I hear that will get you about 90% of the way there. 

YES. It isn’t about the time! It is about what you did to make things better!

Yeah, it’s interesting. Basically, he seemed to want more of a Samantha, but he got a Jeannie, and he realized he liked that more, in the end. 

I guess that’s what always swung it for me- I felt like Major Nelson ended up really loving Jeannie, and was willing to do all sorts of shit to protect her (just as she would do all sorts of shit to protect him), despite (or perhaps because) she pretty much never listened to him. Meanwhile, Darrin seemed just SO SO…

Eh, I haven’t seen an article yet that used “allegedly” in the title like they do for literally every other crime report.

There is a real lack of sense of history here, from only going back to the 50s to talk about the lifespan of romantic comedies (AT LEAST as far back as It Happened One Night in the 30s, arguably farther) to glossing over 80s films, to under-rating 90s film guys.

I think biopics of people the general audience doesn’t really know are the ones with more potential for greatness, because the emphasis can be on telling the story in an interesting way, and not on getting your impression just right. The “Great Men of History” biopic treatment will ALWAYS feel more like a textbook…

I think it is a mistake to assume that Jeannie was ever-obedient, just because of the language she used. In episodes I’ve seen recently, she did pretty much whatever the hell she wanted to do, then the episode would be more about talking Tony around and/or realizing the cultural error she was making and fixing it.

I can’t believe that ALL the news sources are just rolling with this story. They really need to be throwing out “Allegedly” everywhere like they normally do. 

I mean, Occam’s razor suggests that the simplest situation is probably true.

He had to have let her in, though. That’s the part that’s getting me. It sounds like doors with key cards, which probably means auto-locking. 

Yup! I think some pictures of them together have surfaced? She knew who he was. I think every headline about this needs a strong dose of “Allegedly.”
