I haven’t seen this so I’m only responding to the blog: I would rather not see another contemporary apologist story/excuse about how women were treated by continuing to forefront stories, cultural myths, folkways, etc. whose patterns we already know (and continue).

My two favorite lines from “Don’t Look Up.”
“Sir” Isherwell to Dr. Mindy”: You’re going to die alone.”
No. Dr. Mindy died at roughly the same time as eight billion other people.

Could Trump’s choice of a running mate be more perfect?

Things can be less confusing if we stop saying “people say”. Women have always been objectified to the point that we police everything we do, say, eat, etc. It’s hard to tune out that noise and we can’t control others people’s thoughts and reactions. People are going to judge us no matter what we do, so do what you…

Lol, this is fabulous. I can stop pestering my musician friends.

It really does. Sounds like a dirge.

That brings the song “Take Me Out To The Ballpark” to mind.
They should just sing that instead of this horrible dirge.

I had to Google that because I was certain he had worn big old white platform shoes.

I still hear about the Alamo Drafthouses, etc. and assume that a lot of theatres are doing well, but I just did a search of cities beyond mine and the situation is just as dire. I do hate to see all of them go. I won’t pay for 5 or 6 different streaming services, but I hope they reman separate and competitive. 

Well, it sounds like they still value the important things there.

What was muddled about Promising Young Woman? The message is pretty clear.

This is the laziest deflection. You don’t have a clue what this film is about.

Did they find the ammo? We’re so deep into Crazy World I can actually picture Donny setting all of this up with a packet of fake blood in his ear. There are likely some fanatics who would sacrifice their lives.

So close..... Condolences to the families of the bystanders.

No, she didn’t make it remotely about her. She dropped out of med school and essentially gave up her life and her future owing to the trauma of her best friend’s suicide after she had been raped by fellow med students. Nothing was done for her friend, her rapist wasn’t even called out by the school. This is a story…

Accepted. I’ve always respected you.

Thanks.

Bon mots? I don’t see any kind of cute cleverness here or, especially, any performativity. Mocking murdered children isn’t cool.

It seems like a lot of these comics want to be George Carlin, but they don’t have the talent or insight.

Ugh. Have you seen Jimmy Carr? He makes jokes about pedophilia, the disabled, date rape with that British upper-crust delivery.
