Yeah, as execrable as this movie was, it was great to see her in such a prominent role. 

Let the record show:

Gotti got a D+.

But Steve Coogan was oddly sexy as the villainous one-handed tattoo artist.

That is really the only positive thing I have to say about this movie. I don’t know why I thought it would be better than it was, but apparently I did? 

Honestly, I think the video gets glossed over too much. Any wedding video should have some good close-ups of the bride...but he really took footage *exclusively* of her? He spent the whole wedding with a camera and then never expected anyone to ask for footage? That video is too, too weird.

This is a pretty good defense, but it’s punishment of mature, intellectual women makes it just overwhelmingly depressing to me. I know what this movie thinks of me, better than this movie itself knows.

It’s actually not uncommon for men to create hostile work environments to force out women. (Usually by making them quit, rather than getting them fired for complaining.) Ask A Manager has had some jaw-dropping accounts of this kind of thing. 

See Widows. It is a fucking RIDE and it has badass women of color and an adorable dog. 

Well, you also get the goods and services for which money can be exchanged. 

It’s for when you want to feel like a feminist but also your career depends upon being sexually attractive.

Which is no insult to women who dress like that. Being a woman’s just fucking tough.

Cool story bro. 

Psychological studies proving that women like other women far more than men like other men have been available since long before any of us were born.

Yeah but they’re probably just gonna talk about men, right? Jasmine’s dad, Jasmine’s suitors, plus Jasmine will have one line, technically directed to Dalia but really while gazing out at Agrabah, about wanting something more from life. Maybe they’ll make the tiger female so they can talk about that? 

I’m not confident that Star Wars 9 will pass the Bechdel Test, since it hasn’t (significantly) in any previous episode. And now without Leia? They’ll shoehorn in a three-line scene where Rey talks to Maz, and Rey and Rose will probably run down a corridor together or something, but Star Wars doesn’t seem interested in…

Well, only when they get reported on as some sort of Final Verdict, as it is here. This is good to look at as part of the puzzle, but obviously it’s not comprehensive. 

Plus, while I like TLJ and TFA, if they passed the Bechdel Test it was by technicality. 

Yeah, he said so many times, “The Bad Place has hacked your system!” there’s no WAY that’s actually what’s going on. 

I felt the same way!

Does Jason *need* a divorce to be with Janet? I don’t think she legally exists. 

I think this was honestly a better performance than it was an episode. It gave us some connective-tissue stuff, but it felt a lot like killing time while hitting a few plot points we knew were coming (Eleanor and Chidi; Jason finding out about his marriage to Janet; everyone discovering that no one gets into the Good…

Yeah I feel like the whole REASON Superman is in contrast to the whole “immigrants and orphans are untrustworthy” thing. This looks cool but sort of seems like it’s saying, oh, you actually shouldn’t trust people who are different.
