I’ve been that way too. For a long time I kept everything bottled up and never told anyone, because I thought that meant I wasn’t affected by it. Then I over corrected and told people way too much way too quickly. Finally after some intense therapy, I’m finding a middle ground. I don’t hide my past from people but I…

I feel like we might know each other!

I was an adult when Kids came out in 1995 and I remember reading about the film in various publications and based on what I read, I decided I wouldn’t see it. At the time, I was hanging out with lots of artists who relished their counter-culture credibility and when I told them I thought the film sounded exploitative,…

Emily, maybe it's just me, but I feel that if Jenna's grandpa was some unknown hoi polloi, she would have ended up as an office temp somewhere in the Midwest, wearing rayon pencil skirts and pleather pumps from Payless and driving her Scion to the office park and eating at Applebee's for the lunch specials.

Haha, I honestly didn’t think Requiem for a Dream was that bad. It seemed like a fair portrayal of addiction. Everything was going great until their heroin supply was disrupted.

I was a teenager when this came out, and ran in the same circles, so to speak. I remember thinking the movie meshed fairly well with my experience (except for the really dumb portrayal of a rave).

It’s kind of amazing, looking back on it, what some teachers deemed to be educational. Given that I grew up in a rural, backwoods, shithole, we got a quasi-decent sex ed class, even if the gym teacher was beet red the entire time he taught. The weirdest in-class movie that sticks out in my mind was a film about a man…

omg I remember seeing one when it aired. Harmony was FUCKED UP. I’ll never forget he was wearing the rattiest clothes, he was super dirty. I think Letterman was offended by his existence and you couldn’t really blame him.

During a YouTube rabbit hole, I discovered the interviews David Letterman did with Harmony K and they are something. 

I’ve seen Kids exactly once, back when it first hit VHS and I was 14 of 15 years old. It was more effective than any anti-drug/drinking/sex PSA could have possibly been, and it horrified me. The worst part of it, though, was that a large portion of my small town glorified it. So many underachieving white boys wanted…

Um, this director also did Bully and Ken Park. I’d say this director might have some issues with teenagers.

I had a creppy health teacher in high school show us this movie instead of actually teaching us about health. I fucking hated it and have never had the inclination to watch it again.  

Interesting. If you look at some of the smaller lingerie companies that sell mostly online (and growing), their marketing is so much different. It’s models of different sizes, ages, race, orientation, ability, instead of some overly sexy white model who’s tits are being painfully pushed up.  I’d say that more…

It was. The author chose to be outraged when the reality is no one, including the UN or WHO, can do an impartial investigation because China isn’t allowing it. There’s also no dispute that China initially covered up the outbreak, regardless of its point of origin. The danger we have is the countries that refuse to be…

That’s one of the problems with being kind of tall but not crazy tall and not skinny but also straddling the line between straight and plus sizes depending on how much elastic is in the damn thing and having massive tits to boot: Buying clothes is a gauntlet.

I’m a similar size and 5'9" and it’s a constant struggle!

Not to mention the design of

YES, Nate and Andi’s friends are the worst. Nate is even more insufferable in the book. And the whole premise is ridiculous—the movie smoothed over a lot of the rough edges from the book (which not great) but the idea that all of Andi’s NYC friends can’t understand why she just doesn’t quit is ridiculous.

I remember having 2 kids in daycare. It was like the equivalent of paying for a luxury trip every month or a monthly payment for a supercar. 

Where did Iggy Azalea get the money for the house? and why is she such a bitch? You seem to be planning to be there for a long time, and you are setting your kid up to have NO neighborhood friends.
