Yeah. It has an almost epic feel to it, based purely on the story. I read a breakdown that suggested the director was largely to blame for going with what she believed the Ozarks’ culture was like, rather than actually bringing any experience of the area and its people to the mix. I thought JLaw was really excellent…

This is really terrible written. Tremendously terribly written.

Yeah I know people generally had issues with this film or whatever, but I kinda loved it.

If only Gossip Girl had managed to decide if it wanted to be high-brow art that referenced major works of literature or total bubbly anti-intellectual pop trash.

simply suggesting that the girl who submits to this kind of behavior is doing so because of a mental illness and/or emotional problems is a HUGE step forward when compared with 50 Shades, which normalizes Ana’s behavior and implies every woman wants to be treated that way.

I think it’s worse. Haven’t seen Secretary but Maggie Gyllenhaal has a fun, twisted, darkly sexy vibe in a lot of her films. Difficult to imagine her actually giving over her agency, especially to a man. Plus the power differential wasn’t nearly as big in that movie. In 50 Shades, he’s basically the master of the…

THIS IS NOT FEMINIST. Mrs. Grey will NOT see you now. Mrs. Grey is merely an extension of her husband with no apparent will or ambition of her own. Mrs. Grey needs a damn personality.

I think it’s pretty cool that Gerwig is doing this project and that it’s partly based on her life. I support female directors. However, wouldn’t it be great if teenagers started playing teenagers? Saoirse Ronan is amazing, but she is also 23.

I definitely relate to this, though from a different starting position. My father was fairly useless at doing traditionally “masculine” things but wasn’t very good at emotional support either, and neither was my mom. I learned emotional self-reliance before I learned physical, but eventually I learned both and then…

Not cleaning up/being properly neat.

She didn’t really think through the consequences of what she was saying though. As far as I know she didn’t tweet concern for any of the communities directly impacted by Charlottesville, or make any financial statement of support for us. The social justice actions done here were not on her behalf and she doesn’t…

No no no! Literally I just went to a solidarity meeting/discussion re Charlottesville and this really pretty blonde girl opened her big silly mouth and silly-said that thing about being there to listen and contributing my listening or whatever. NO. Sitting silently and offering your ears is NOT actually doing…

YES, so true. The last thing girls who develop boobs early need is to be told it’s totally acceptable for men to find them sexually arousing at 10 or 11. It is not.

Who are being given permission to objectify other ten-year-olds! What happens when a tween girl is sexually assaulted? The boy thinks it’s her fault because she “chose” to grow breasts!

HETERO men find attractive, on some women.

This is going to sound like an unrelated anecdote, but I promise, it’s not.

Seriously? Beyonce cannot own a V-formation. Geese own the V formation. I’m sure there have been singers and entertainers using this formation for decades. This criticism is nonsense.

My mother’s only acceptance of the fact I have sex occasionally is her willingness to knock before entering my room when I stay at her house.

I mean, I kinda understand where he was coming from at first. Trying to claim your own ethnicity when you’re not super sure what it is and you’ve been raised by someone with a strong Native American heritage and connection with their culture would have to be hard. But then there was a lot of lying, about easily…
