I would absolutely do this if I had any clout.

Can’t say I blame him, given all the productions that have been stalled or worse due to Covid outbreaks. I would want the same sort of requirement for my workplace.

Greta Gerwig typing up a long letter to her daughter Cricket 100% checks out.

I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore. Like part of me is like “these dudes clearly hate each other IRL, it wasn’t an act” and another part of me is like “ok so they’re gonna drive a dump truck full of cash up to the Rock’s house and then the final installment is gonna be the big return of Hobbs.”

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? It kinda smells like a carefully-worded power play, probably the result of some sort of behind-the-scenes negotiations on the future of the franchise.

I think this little feud needs to be settled like real men.

95% of these questions could be solved with better communication.

Based on this column’s representative sample of 0.00000004% of the global population, I feel comfortable saying that whole world is like this.

Not to mention the literal countdowns to the 18th birthdays of underage celebrities like the Olsen twins.

Loving fashion is “the definition of shallow” only because of sexism. There’s nothing about fashion that makes it inferior to any of the other more ‘respectable’ passions that people pursue.  Which is actually part of the point of Elle’s character, that she’s given an interest that is stereotypically used to denote…

I happened to see Clueless for the first time in 2015 because my local cinema was doing a 20th Anniversary screening.

The fact that Elle and Vivian were never monsters to each other, and were never simply mean, even when they were still very antagonistic toward each other, was so refreshing. It’s pretty rare for a comedy to treat every character as a probably-reasonable person who just isn’t having their best moment.

I think the line is supposed to be deliberately over-flippant - Elle knows that it’s hard to get into Harvard since we’ve just seen her working really hard to do so, but is trying to unsettle her ex (and trying to hide the fact that she’s working hard to get back together with him) at that moment. (That said, it’s…

You’re misreading the movie. She’s not already smart because she knows a lot about fashion, she’s already smart, period. Fashion is just what she likes, so she’s focused on it. When she decides to focus on law instead, she gets good at that rapidly, because she is still smart.

This kind of reads to me as someone saying that times can’t be too bad for Black people because Black Panther was a hit.

On top of everything you’ve just said, one of the reasons I think this movie holds up incredibly well is that it never really punches down...  which a lot of the movies in that era (and of this genre) did...

One other thing that I think makes this movie stand out is that even though Warner is the bad romantic pairing and is clearly closer to a villain than most of the other characters Elle’s age, he still doesn’t make the worst possible decision at every possible time.

I think they made it clear that she had in-depth knowledge about things that went far beyond just fashion, though much of it was fashion-adjacent. Her rattling off of the chemicals involved in beauty salon permanents made it clear that she could easily apply that still to other fields had she wanted, and certainly her…

This movie was the first PG-13 movie I saw in theaters. It’s been near and dear to me always. As pointed out in this review, there’s a subversiveness under its gloss that, while it doesn’t directly acknowledge, is omnipresent throughout the movie.

Aw, I’m so glad to see this movie as part of this feature. It’s such a great example of how something can be a lot more intelligent than it appears on the surface - and even using those surface judgments to make the point.
