That “dancing while eating cotton candy” sketch was great, and a lot of it rode on the expression on his face - just utter excitement and delight, all the way through. He really committed, and that’s what it needed.
Stars seem way overdue for both of them.
I completely get Amy on this. I worked in the service industry and I’ve also been suuuuper poor. I’m rich now, not like Amy rich, but I can pay all my bills, go out to eat, and still put money in savings every month rich (so solidly middle class). I’m a generous tipper. I’ve been known to leave a $50 tip on a $30…
I’ve found a handful of scenes to be very unsettling and upsetting, but few are graphically violent in the gore sense.
It felt like every Trump gaffe, all 11,0000 of them, barely moved the needle, while any time Clinton stumbled a little bit, it was a huge swing in Trump’s direction. Almost as if voters just needed a reason, any reason, not to vote for her.
You can live a healthy life and still get cancer. Or MS or ALS, or several other diseases. Or, you know, get in a car accident.
Sometimes I hear about someone and I wish I knew them in real life. I felt that with Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s first book and then her second book and now I wish I knew her whole lovely family. That sounds creepy but man, they just sound like the sorts of people who would just be a joy to know in the day-to-day.
This is why I get annoyed when when people criticize her for not doing enough in some way for LGBTQ rights, or for being too bland on the subject.
Younger people may not realize, this was a HUGE deal at the time. Like, the world stopped and watched this happen.
Only semi-relevant, but: “So I Married An Ax Murderer” is the most underrated comedy of all time.
Honestly, who throws a shoe...?
Yes! As quotable as any movie ever and the music is perfect. One of my favorite exchanges:
Wow, the lack of humanity in Sheriff Clarke’s statement is absolutely stunning, but not at all surprising given his history as a well-known racist, fascist Uncle Tom. There are Constitutional laws against cruel and unusual punishment, and this is CLEARLY a case of straight-up murder. The buck always stops at the top…
This looks terrible and everyone should be ashamed.
i was drunk on saturday and some girl was complaining that she was gonna die alone and that her ovaries are dying (she’s 24, i am almost 31) and i yelled “ONE, don’t come at an older woman and worry about not being able to produce children and TWO the president you voted for is gonna get us all fuckin nuked by tuesday…
I MISS HIM SO MUCH IT LITERALLY HURTS.
