We’re not discussing whether Girls Trip sucked. We’re discussing whether Tiffany Haddish was a fucking star in it, which she was.

I remember seeing the original as a kid and only having a slight intellectual understanding that throwing his tools in the water was that bad. As an adult, watching that expensive cleaning equipment go, well, overboard...I get the whole story a lot more.

Actually I would have loved it if he’d hassled Ellen to reboot Ellen the chat show, which still exists, and which he was currently hassling her on. Seinfeld should go gonzo in his old age.

A Seinfeld reboot but they spend half of each episode saying, “Oh too bad you just missed Elaine.”

Maybe they felt like the other way around was bad because it would make the POC the scheming kidnapper? I honestly can’t tell which way would be worse.

Solution: make more movies without any white people at all.

1. I like that she actually kind of looks like Goldie Hawn, which I hadn’t noticed before.
2. The guy should probably be cuter.
3. Am I remembering right or was Kurt Russel’s house in the original actually small and crappy, unlike this dream house they’re pretending is squalid?
4. Genuinely no idea how I should feel…

Clearly you didn’t see Girls Trip then.

I don’t think there was a hidden meaning. Just that Paula’s over all the hijinks. She wants to be a lawyer and part of her is pulling away from Rebecca’s dysfunction.

Ok brah, if you thing “you’re an asshole” is that much better than “your rhymes are facile,” the good news is you get to listen to your version too! I was wondering who thought it was worth posting a whole other video of “This Session Will Be Different” just to hear Dr. Akopian say “fucking” in the very last line, and…

Do we have a general consensus on which kind of coyote Trent was, in fact, rescued by?

Rebecca. Not Rachel. Rebecca.

That is one I could see being better explicit since it doesn’t have much to do with the show. (I class it with Friendtopia—a song I hated when the episode aired, because it completely stops the action, but that’s great listening to later. It is nowhere near as good as Friendtopia though.)

Okay touché: that is an excellent use of “fuck.”

Not that this case is about you specifically, but what about before picking it up? Like at the movie theater, when you don’t pick up the box until after you’ve paid.

Yes! I knew I was forgetting one. “You’re an asshole” is just a waste of space.

Right, that’s the difference between misleading and outright lying. The size of the box is misleading.

You feel your boxes of candy at the movie theater? The ones in an inaccessible plexiglass box?

I do think the “fuck” is a little better than “hell” there, but the line is great either way, and the boost that curse word gives is smaller than the boost the clean lyrics give in the other parts. (I also think the AEPI bit is cleverer in the clean version because of the multiple rhymes, and because it’s more…

I’m in the minority that never listens to that song in either version, alas. I don’t think it’s bad or anything, it just never interested me that much.

And how does it compare to the best part of In Bruges, which was that deleted scene on the train?
