I love that you used that example, because the Charlie Hunnam version of Nicholas Nickleby is actually what got me to read the book when I was in middle school. It also introduced me to the genius of Jim Broadbent as Wackford Squeers.

Because he went on a date with a Black woman once. She didn't call him back, because his faux-progressive bullshit got annoying midway through the first cocktail.

It's the Friendzoning argument, absolutely. I especially hate that it revolves around trashing this other person for being too stereotypically feminine, because we don't get that shit enough already.

I find your ideas intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

His sister is the famous one who is actually funny.

Terry Gross or GTFO.

I'm just glad someone else knows who Duffy is! I love her music, and I was always a little sad she didn't become a bigger deal.

It definitely depends on the baby—I was lighter and got darker, but my older sister was darker and got a bit lighter (of course, she was also bald, so I can't tell how much of it was just her hair finally coming in).

I know that, and I still miss him every episode. He was so goddamn fine!

I would also highly recommend listening to the full-cast audiobook for the tenth anniversary edition. It's got incredible narration and voice actors, and Neil Gaiman reads the "Coming to America" segments.

I'm kind of okay with that. Don't get me wrong, I love the iteration of Mr. Nancy as a dirty old man, but I think this could really work, too.

I'm so fucking amped for this. It's going to be amazing.

I miss them! Especially the cute Black guy with the great smile, and the shorter white dude with the 70's mustache.

Charlie was such a disappointment, especially after that convo in the workroom. You made it through the 80s and 90s, you have DECADES to drag experience, you moved your career to another continent, and you're telling me you're not a fighter? No, bitch. Not today, not tomorrow, not EVER. Don't you dare insult every…

That's what I was hoping for! I would love to see that!

It's inexcusable.

They had better bring it back in time for Reading is Fundamental. If they take the library from me, I will lead a fucking mob to VH1's offices with torches and pitchforks.

Re, 5) I think there's nothing shadier than making a subtweet remark and then saying "that's not shade". It is a thing of beauty.

That's an important point. You don't fucking roll over and die in the lip sync. It is inexcusable. Even if you think she should have been safe (doubtful), that's a choice she made, and it was the wrong one. She deserved to go.

Or taint-Swiffering!
