this is so true. I love a lot of his shows and it definitely isn’t a guarantee of success just to choose interesting stories... but he definitely has formula of dramatizing existing events or stories already told. That has to be a bit of a lifehack right there.

OMG. can you imagine.

yeah I get that this is snark... but Peppa Pig is pretty annoying to me in a different version of gender stereotyping, namely making Daddy Pig a bumbling fool and Mummy Pig a one-dimensional nothing with no personality. Hot tip, jez.

as others note you’re a bit off on her indigenous heritage, but I agree with your overall argument here. I saw the exhibition in an earlier version and I think it did well to place her conscious self-image-making within other Modernist takes on “folk” cultures, textiles, and other arts; also that it was something of a…

I saw another version of this exhibition at the V&A and I thought it was well done.. yes there was lipstick, etc but also her braces and corsets and I felt that they offset each other, normalizing both as parts of her everyday life rather than being “just makeup” or exoticizing her disabilities. It’s a delicate…

I’ve been really thinking that a lot of Marie Kondo’s men desperately need Queer Eye to teach them to cook for and support their women, so...

I liked her red look last night better

I am so deeply embarrassed for anyone who knows anyone who wrote one of these. OMG

Um, neither agree nor disagree with the Stan Lee grief etiquette shaming but Armie Hammer doesn’t get to ride a high horse if he ever wore that turtleneck, which appears to have the address of Calvin Klein’s NY headquarters on it? Talk about tacky.

SICK BURN (not joking)

I disagree - I think they should have tried in good faith to revise or evolve the character like the supposedly smart, culture-aware people they think they are. Hari’s project really invited creative response and Groening and crew were just not up to it. Instead, they used the supposedly most feminist, progressive…

yes. Birth can break your vag without episiotomy but it will heal easier! Also, recommend pelvic floor physical therapy for people with ongoing issues.

my experience was that they give you this stuff at the hospital and you can restock if needed. For me the key items were sitz bath, witch hazel pads (I think this is what tucks are), squeeze bottle, and the ridiculous diaper-esque undies. All were part of my nursing care. Also, scope out lactation consultants in…

I just died laughing over this. I’m dead now. Farewell world.

yeah I’m OK with it here since she is a producer. But I still wouldn’t have blamed her if she put more edge into her reply that she can’t speak for him. He did this shit, not her.

I would put Walk the Line in the same bunch with Ray .. both are a bit predictable and simplified story-wise (rise; fall; rise more; fall more; end victoriously) but the music is so good it doesn’t really matter.

Was just thinking about how when Lucy Liu hosted - holy sh*t I did not realize that was 2000 - her monologue was a series of jokes about doing Lorne’s nails or dry cleaning, aka stereotypical roles for Asian American women. They could basically run the same jokes verbatim now, since the show is still so not diverse.

“She advised me to be and dress ‘outgoing,’” the former Yale student said. “She strongly urged me to send her pictures of what I was thinking of wearing so she could evaluate. I did not.”

News reporters do not know who it is (apparently many were caught by surprise by its publication as well); Editorial does.

IMDB tells me she is still working in TV writing (admittedly for kind of crappy looking TV movies), so I think this is an all’s well that ends well story.. how about a summer-of-scam followup interview though, eh Jez??
