I saw the trailer and was intrigued. It does not sound like my cup of tea at all but it also sounds like an interesting exploration of many things. It looks like we’re in a resurgence of African American lead movies and after the dry, dry 2000s it’s wonderful to see. 

weren’t they kinda their seaside towns first? 

Taco Bell stays open till 2 or 3am, is fast as fuck(like I can pull in and be out in 5 mins and get to work on time) and is directly on my way to work(I work nights ) and is still cheaper than ubereats/doordash/ etc... Besides, enough sour cream and ketchup and almost anything is edible. 

also, the people who make first responders repeatedly come and beg for enough money to survive while they try and fight the illnesses they got being first responders.

Sure, Ronny when’s she about 15-16 or earlier, which would explain why she’s so close to him if they “grew up together” and then Johnny as a late-life, “surprise you thought it was menopause” baby in her mid to late 40's that she basically had no interest in.

I mean that covers pretty much every movie in Hollywood in regards to the age difference between the men and the women. It’s nice to see the reverse once in a while. 

oh yes, of course! He absolutely is a manic pixie dream guy. Where is that article? 

Really? Everything I’ve seen written about the movie is pretty clear that it’s subverting the “manic pixie dream girl” trope by clearly showing that JGL is in love with his own creation and not actually with Summer and that he’s just going to repeat that behavior over again with the new woman he meets at the end of…

This and Courage Under Fire(also not a Meg Ryan type I’d argue) are her best work, followed by When a Man Loves a Woman and Addicted to Love(Meg Ryan down the dark rabbit hole). Not saying she wasn’t great in her traditional rom com roles, but these other movies show she could have had a much broader career. 

I work flibbertigibbet into conversation whenever I can.

ugh, Moonstruck. Blame that on being way too sleepy to post responsibly. 

I had no idea. I adore Joe versus the Volcano as well as Moonlighting. It makes total sense now. 

Moonstruck is the kind of movie you where you wanna “fold yourselves up in ‘em - forever.”

good grief, I want them all! I need to win the lottery so I can have allllll the puppies. 

for like 15 years we were supposed to wear a shitty scarf with our shitty uniforms at the hotel where I work. They finally got rid of the scarfs but I think men are still supposed to wear ties. It’s ridiculous. we work at the fucking front desk of a low end hotel. 

on the upside, they can literally get away with murder and a host of other crimes with no consequences, so I’m sure it balances out.

this seems pretty standard food industry behavior. When I was a waitress a thousand years ago, it was the same. you made $2.01 plus tips to equal minimum wage. If you didn’t make enough in tips then the company covered the wages to equal minimum. Not a big deal if you’re pulling in good money in tips because you will…

oh this has happened to me a couple of times, in different places. I lay on the horn until everybody comes out to see what the hell is going on. At that point I’m pissed enough to want to piss everybody else off too. 

my answer is always, sooo if someone sold their toddler to a child rapist, you wouldn’t blame the rapist, just the parent?

I know right? Because no white person ever ate a piece of fried chicken. That food is culturally Southern and it’s traditionally poor people’s food -scraps, left overs made into something edible. Now, hmmm, why could that mean that it’s something that became a part of African American culture? There must be some…
