Yeah, you would know, working for a blog where the editors keep hiring more white women as regular writers so that they stay the majority. I don’t remember the last time a WOC was hired as a regular staff writer, do you?

I agree, she is old enough. I thought the same thing when seeing Anna Faris play the mom of a teen girl on Mom. I then remembered that Faris is almost 40, she just looks and sounds a lot younger than she is.

She’s been on Comedy Central a lot lately. She guested on one episode of Broad City and I’ve seen her on two Drunk History episodes (one as First Lady Frances Cleveland, and one as WWII spy Virginia Hall). She is really charming and talented, and I like seeing her appear in stuff.

This reminds me of reading interviews with dancers (mostly ballet and modern) who talk about their injuries, often times in small muscles that put them out of dancing from six months to a year. They may talk about peeling toenails or bruised toenails as well, but not in a Black Swan horror kind of way. Some of their…

It is amazing that people thought they were real, when the fairies look like paper cut-outs. The girls, as old ladies at the end of their lives in the 1980s, came clean about it, saying it started off as playing pretend, but that the story grew faster than they could handle and they were too embarrassed to say it…

Her album will likely be full of top 40 radio-friendly songs about partying or falling in love, ballads about breaking up or bad relationships, songs designed to play for commercials or movie trailers, and other predictable stuff. It sounds like an awful lot of hype for nothing.

I saw the film version of Like Water for Chocolate when I was in middle school, and really liked it. I think a girl of 12-14 would be fine with reading a story of love during wartime.

This was a really good interview! Thank you for speaking with her and sharing her words.

I heard of this movie while channel-surfing, and thought it was one of the most bizarre movies I had ever seen, with kids acting like 1930s gangsters and molls. I was confused for several minutes while trying to figure out what I was watching.

Likely they wanted to pick up on women and didn’t want younger guys there as competition.

You look cute, your bangs looks great on you!

This story was already covered over the weekend! Seriously, is there a lack of communication at Jezebel, or are Emma and Erin just “zzzzzzz” at the wheel?

I’ve never met her personally, but I’ve seen her in person about four times. Twice when I temped at ABT doing telefundraising in 2011 (I saw her in passing a couple of times and was surprised to see that she is 5’2, she looks taller in pictures from being on pointe with high extensions); seeing her speak at an F.I.T.…

Thank you for writing this, this was really good, and written with a lot of heart.

Oh, OK, I misunderstood. I thought those were your feelings. I do think Anne Hathaway is a good actress, and she gets way too much hate, especially around her campaigning for an Oscar for Les Miserables. She seems like an OK person, and is a talented actress.

Wow, I am the other way around. I like Tina Fey as a writer, but she cannot carry a successful movie. I don’t count Mean Girls, she wrote it and had a supporting role. But a lot of movies she has starred in have bombed, so I don’t think she is a good leading actress.

I liked a movie called Queen to Play, starring Sandrine Bonnaire and Kevin Kline. Bonnaire plays a chambermaid to Kline’s doctor character, and they develop a friendship and play chess together. There isn’t any romance with them, as she loves her husband and daughter, and they discuss life and chess while playing.

Good point, especially since a 30-year old woman said it. Maybe if she said Paul Newman and Gregory Peck, men who stayed handsome and classy to the end, it would have made more sense, and not as the words from a Boomer.

I saw it, and it’s not like Lost in Translation. There’s no romance with the two of them, the characters have a platonic friendship. She loves her husband and child, and he grieves for his wife sometimes, but starts a romance with a woman his own age (10 years younger, but still close).

I saw the movie. He is a retiree and a recent widower, and lives a financially comfortable life, likely off of his pension and social security checks. He kept trying different things to occupy his time (cooking classes, tai chi, Mandarin lessons), and was bored and felt empty in his life. He applies for the internship…
