I saw him dance in ABT’s fall show in 2011, where he did a solo to 1940s big band music. He was excellent, with a lot of charisma, joy, and spirit, and I was really surprised to find out later that he was getting over a major injury at the time (he wrote about his injury and recovery process in Dance Magazine a few…

I could imagine Snow rapping a line like that circa 1993, only he really couldn’t leave Canada because he had a criminal record and was dealing with charges for assault at the time Informer hit big.

You warn people regularly not to mess with you?

I just mentally checked out from reading her once I saw that quote. I don’t care if she is 94, that is a racist thing to say, and she is well old enough to know better.

Except she didn’t start the job yet before she vented. She interviewed for this job, got it, and then complained about it online before she started it. That is an act of stupidity.

Good point. I never wanted to baby-sit or be a teacher, because I would worry about a parent getting mad at me if I did/said something wrong to their kid (not me doing something abusive, more just something that was an error), or I would get annoyed at a kid acting like a brat, or I would get irritated from constant…

“is that a bunch of suburban busybodies with literally nothing else to do”

It’s Karyn trying too hard to sound like a young person nursing a hangover on the weekends.

He seems to do better in character roles, supporting parts, and smaller movies. I liked him a lot in In Bruges and Intermission. He is terrible in blockbuster movies or playing bland leading men. Brad Pitt and Jude Law were like this too, they are way better as character actors than as movie stars.

He’ll always be the dork that hosted Singled Out to me. I can’t see him as anything else.

Yes. I assume it means something unisex, but I figured from Tracy’s headline and the Annie Hall picture that she meant she liked to wear clothes that were typically gendered as male.

That is messed-up. I was a kid during that time, and remember hearing of Rwanda on the news, but didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t pay close attention to the news.

That is awesome! I remember when MTV had the parody boy band 2Gether, and they would actually perform live concerts on MTV with screaming fans, and I thought. “These fans know that this group is meant to be a joke, right?” Eh, maybe the screaming fans were paid extras, I don’t know.

I only heard of the genocide through reading a memoir about it 15 years ago, when I was in high school. The only other times I’ve heard it referenced in the U.S. is in the movie The Killing Fields, Angelina Jolie’s activism in Cambodia and her adoption of her son Maddux, and the Dead Kennedys’ song “Holiday in…

This was well-written, and very respectful of the country. I learned about the war in Cambodia about 15 years ago, through reading a memoir written by a survivor entitled First They Killed My Father. Her name is Loung Ung, and she was five when the Khmer Rouge took over, and she suffered malnutrition and the deaths of…

Thanks, I thought that was Aubrey Plaza.

I even just went to see a so-so predictable movie, Woman in Gold, just so I could see Tatiana Maslany playing the young version of Helen Mirren’s character in flashbacks. She is that good and that likable. :)

I didn’t recognize him! I only know of him from Reindeer Games, but I know he’s had a big career in television.

Yeah, Alison seemed to be going more for old-timey Cockney accent than Sarah’s deeper voice.

That is a good point about not rushing things. My mom suggested I go to Europe with a tour group, but I don’t want to be rushed along or stuck in a group the whole time. I also remember kids from my 8th grade class who went to Paris (they were in a French language class), and they came back saying everyone was snobby…
