Wow. Who would have thought that Madonna is still an out of touch narcissist after all these years?

FFS I hope the Democratic party succeeds in pulling it’s head out their collective ass so I don’t have to vote for this shitstain.

“It’s a matter of what’s in his heart. He’s a strongly pro-life person.” What the fuck????

I enjoyed it, and (as a fan of Audition-style shock movies) was surprised at how much they pushed the envelope of body horror for a mainstream offering. I’m not easily grossed out, but the bug vomiting scene got to me. I didn’t see it as trying to be anything more than a “schlocky, violent display of id” though. The…

I’m impressed that your daughter was able to recognize that word in spoken form because I’ve frequently enough noticed a gulf between the words one is able to spell, define, and use in a sentence and the words one is able to speak and pronounce. Off the top of my head, the short list of words that either I or a friend…

I was 100% on board with the entire sequence in China, but when the “twist” was revealed I did a Liz Lemon level eyeroll and was like what the shit not this again. But the movie kind of redeemed itself somewhat after that and the ending was worthy of a much better movie. Plus it had a sweet Chromatics cover.

What We do in the Shadows!

I see what the reviewer is saying, and in some ways I agree, but to me part of the point of Season 2 was that THP, before he met Fleabag, wasn’t a very good priest and was a flawed person in general. He didn’t have a good handle on what kind of priest or person he wanted to be. He was optimistic about his calling but…

The confessional is an interesting element—I can see the argument that that was inappropriate, but it didn’t register for me as a real “confession” dynamic. But there is a bigger conversation to be had there, for sure. But as far as the dinner, I don’t agree that that’s disqualifying. Coming from a nutty family and/or…

I was catholic, and I don’t know if I was just excited about any desecration or violation of the church and it’s dumb rules, but since she is not catholic and clearly takes the piss out of him and his faith at every opening I don’t see the same power imbalance as if she were catholic or even a Christian of another…

Semi related—-my mom and dad got together while he was a Jesuit and she was a receptionist at the mission office. Apparently for them to even get to a place where they acknowledged they had feelings for one another and then deciding to act on it was a years-long process. The weird thing was that there was an almost…

Well, you have to realize too, that Brits feel VERY different about priests than Americans do. In America they’re put on pedestals and have a lot of power and influence in parishioner’s lives. In England, they’re more of an oddity and often fetishized. Not to say that’s what Fleabag is doing, I think she likes him…

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, she wasn’t a parishioner and whatever happened didn’t destroy her (non-existent) faith or worldview. My takeaway was that their connection transcended his profession - two people struggling to find peace that understood each other on a very deep level. He’s the only one that…

I f u l l y cried during the confessional scene :(

I ain’t catholic but he ain’t wrong. My heart almost broke at the end of the confessional scene and I kept saying, “bad priest, bad, bad priest.” That was 100% not what she needed. 

Right, but--he wasn’t her priest. She wasn’t a parishioner. She didn’t seek him out for his pastoral counsel.

Unrelated but: any time someone introduces a guinea pig on a TV show it makes me nervous. I’m always scared Fleabag’s guinea pig is gunna get stepped on!

Oh, absolutely.

As irresistible as I would find Fleabag - particularly if introduced to her while she’s wearing that jumpsuit - I gotta’ agree with the professional violation thing.

I can’t be mad at this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
