Some of the “reporters” for publications like VF and Vogue are society darlings with connections, not actual journalists, and can’t write for shit.

The most cynical part of me thinks that our nation has backslide enough under Trump that we have no chance in hell of electing a POC or even a white woman as President in 2020 even if a damn unicorn (Obama 2.0) pops up....perhaps VP though. Sherrod Brown has a long, good record, usually left enough on economics to at…

My cousin carries documentation (she has a severe non-pet related allergy) whenever she travels and also has a medical alert bracelet. I get that we are supposed to be all outraged at the airline, but they a) offered to move her b) the other passengers paid for the dogs to be on the plane and c) there are lists of…

The September 30th deadline is why I am so fucking angry at some Dems for pushing single payer at this moment instead of a fix for ACA. I wholeheartedly believe and support single payer. I also believe it could wait for another six months because now the GOP is framing the repeal effort as a choice between single…

I remember that Jez received some criticism for that mean and petty article beyond Tina Fey parodying the article and site on 30 Rock. It was weirdly slut-shamey and wildly over the top.

Preach. He makes it so much worse by constantly yapping and going on about “how he is so in love with a perfect relationship” even though he admitted to cheating in the past and now this weird video with ugh “logical women”. He needs to shut the fuck up.

The film is open to several different interpretations (muse/artist/religion/mother earth) and all are very heavy-handed. You definitely don’t need to stay around for the credits to understand the point...even though I did wait it out. I’m with DrunkExPatWriter in his opinion of the film as the end leaned hard into the…

Spoiler alert:

I don’t think mother! is as bad when it comes to stealing ideas (although the riff on several Polanski films and the Baby of Macon is obvious) as Black Swan with Perfect Blue

I agree that Cinemascore isn’t a great way to gauge a film but I also feel like an art film being loathed/getting a mixed reception is not always due to the American public eating up films like the Transformers. Sometimes films are just polarizing in themselves, and mother! is that type of film. Also, the symbolism in…

I made the mistake of reading Helter Skelter in my early teens and I was traumatized. It does sound strange, as all murders are violent, but I do believe that the level of violence should be a factor...and what Leslie and the others did was on the extreme end.

I suspect the sheer violence of many of the Manson murders plays a part in their notoriety along with the fact that Sharon Tate was heavily pregnant. It sounds strange, since all murders are violent, but the multiple stab wounds, gun shots, and torture were extreme overkill.

While I do understand people considering her age (19 is young by most people’s standards), I also have little sympathy for this woman. The physical effort it takes to stab someone in the manner she did is enormous (especially for someone her size)....and she stabbed someone 14 times. This wasn’t a crime of passion or…

He would be an excellent fit. He can do action, is around the right age, half Japanese like the character, has some experience in the film industry so he isn’t a complete newbie, etc.

The whole Lyanna/Rhaegar thing has always been full of plot holes and weird and the “they were in love bit” makes the issues even more obvious. I feel like there is definitely going to be a mention of coercion in the books even if she wasn’t kidnapped in the beginning, because why else would GRIMM emphasize that…

In the books at least, Lyanna disappears on the way to Riverrun (presumably for Brandon’s wedding) and there’s an emphasis that she’s a child-woman instead of a woman. It’s also said that she didn’t want to marry Robert because of his drinking and womanizing. While Robert might have been convinced that Lyanna was in…

Eh, I have dual citizenship and have been in America since I was an infant and I know several American people with hyphenated or multiple last names and (most) of them always made a point of stressing that it’s Fong-Smith instead of just Smith.

Good point.

One of my friends RTd this and Darth Becky’s stans came with receipts that she always releases her albums in late October/early November and has had several singles drop on November 10th. This devious, plotting evil incarnate rep she’s garnered is almost as stupid as people propping her white mediocre ass up on a…

Yep, most albums do drop early in the week. One of my friends RT’d this the other day and Darth Becky’s stans came with receipts that she always releases albums in late October/early November and several of her singles came out on November 10th in the past.
