I actually really like Bernie, but his supporters are starting to drive me insane. Every time there’s a critique, or a question even, about his platform, it’s can’t be anything other than some sort of left wing establishment conspiracy to take down the only person in the world who cares about us, or something. It’s…

She is getting to that scary place with her plastic surgery and fillers.

This move is definitely, definitely going to help films like Tangerine and Beasts of No Nation get recognized, and that’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about it. Because not only is this going to help with diversity, it’s going to help fight against the old movie establishment that considers Netflix a threat and a…

1. This is an awesome, awesome start to making the Oscars more racially diverse (AND, fun side bonus, more relevant in general.) Of course there is much more to do, especially on the making movies side of things, but it’s great to see a concrete step being taken instead of just lip service.

I think the only real factor here is whether or not it’s dangerous. If the weather is shitty but you *could* drive, you just don’t feel like it, fine. But if the weather is so dangerous you would never even think of risking your life for some mediocre Thai food then... don’t ask anyone else to! You would imagine if it…

Meh, I’ve never been a fan of Lara Croft. Compared to Indiana Jones, as both a character or a franchise, it’s just not as good. (In my opinion, of course.)

You know what franchise I’ve always wanted to see with a girl lead? Indiana Jones. She could be one of the (probably hundreds) of illegitimate children he had over the course of his life!

I think the standard logic against casting an Aborginal woman in Furiosa’s role would be to say you can’t get a film financed with all unknowns or not enough “stars,” (who are, by and large, are white.) But it’s a catch 22 because how are you ever going to have more big name stars who are non white if we’re not…

“The films that are being made, are the big-time producers thinking outside of the box in terms of how to cast the role?,” she asked. She added that producers should ask themselves, “Can you cast a black woman in that role? Can you cast a black man in that role?”

Jeeeeeeesus. Agreed! And perhaps a smattering of perspective would also be helpful for her, I’m guessing? Yikes.

Yep. My parents split when I was very little (4 and my little brother 2) - and though they had a very contentious divorce, including a custody fight, they never, not once, in all of the years I’ve been alive, said anything disparaging about the other, to me or my brother. It’s probably incredibly tough, but I think…

Yeah, I have a friend who worked on this show as well. I used to be suuuuuper fucking snobby about tv and movies until I graduated from film school and started you know, actually working in tv and film. You don’t get to pick your work at the beginning, and even the middle of your career! Sometimes it’s a painful 10…

My husband and I were just talking yesterday about starting small separate bank accounts that we each would throw a hundred dollars a month or so into. Not for this reason specifically, but for fun money and to buy gifts for each other from on special occasions, birthdays, etc. (There is nothing less romantic or…

Thank you so much, very, very helpful!

I clicked on this article, went to Facebook and immediately saw the similar LA story in my newsfeed. :/ This kind of thing happens way too often and it’s terrifying. My best friend is in a relationship with a guy who has recently become physically abusive. She’s getting out (moving this week) but I’m terrified for her…

I didn’t have heartburn really bad until the third trimester - I think pretty late into it, like 35 weeks? So hopefully you’ll only get it at the tail end too. I have an “at home Tums” and a “travel Tums” that I keep in my purse because when it hits it is terrible.

Hi there! Yeah, I’ve been doing a list of yoga poses a chiropractor gave me to do (especially cat/cow, modified child’s pose and pigeon.) The pain is better than it was the first two weeks, but the chiro and my dr seem to think it won’t go away entirely until after the baby is born. I’ve also been doing some exercise…

Hi there! So glad you are getting past “morning” sickness. (God I hate that term - very misleading.) Anyway, I’m 38 weeks now, so I’m well past that and into the horrible end of the third trimester stuff (sciatic nerve pain, intense heartburn, generally feeling like a very grumpy manatee, etc.)

Oh, you poor thing. :( I get strep fairly often and was told if I get it again I’d have to have my tonsils removed too, so I feel your pain! As for anecdotes, my husband had his tonsils and adenoids removed when he was in his early 20's. On the bad side, he said the recovery was actually really painful. On the good…

I love Prime! In my situation my husband had to convince me of why it would be a good deal, but I’m a convert. The shipping savings really do add up and I actually have watched the Amazon tv stuff way more than I thought I would. We watched the entirety of the Wire and Veep together, I watched Sex and the City (which…
