That you attended college—“less than 5 years ago”--doesn’t make your argument sound, or your understanding of sexuality well-informed.

People in college are already promiscuous as it is.

You’re friends with Leah Finnegan, correct?

“...And the people going in it every day? I didn’t see anyone special.”

Yes, I didn’t know how to feel until I read that sage commentary.

I have no idea what Shailene Woodley is doing in acting, I really don’t.

Perry’s dick is so big and aggressive it will probably take that bullet and ricochet it back at Celeste, then grow another three inches in anger.

No, the “dialect coach,” as she’s listed, was not hired “for the show.” The credits show she was hired for Kidman only.

One commenter here made a good observation: that her American accent was more convincing during the Tom Cruise era than during her marriage to Keith Urban (another Australian). I saw Rabbit Hole (2010) and she had the same struggle with accent there, playing an American character.

Too bad Kidman didn’t have the same advantages.

There’s a dialogue coach listed in the credits.

Joel Kinnaman (The Killing, RoboCop) has a great American accent. Here he is speaking in his native Swedish:

Who do you think kills/is killed?

The only music I heard over at Hippy Yogi’s house was some decades-old Sade.

Yeah, that’s the HBO budget at work.

Slightly off-topic, but it’s funny that the only music they play on this show is vintage ’50s/’60s R & B/soul/rock and roll.

Right? She’s visually interesting, and she can produce a credible air of mystery.

I like your screen name, by the way.

She’s not written convincingly. She too smart-alecky--like she was written to please the audience. I keep expecting her to refer to her mom as a “dame.”

Same; I didn’t get Madeleine’s immediate “I like you, we’re going to be good friends” reaction. Shailene-as-Jane is so charmless. If the character had been played by, say, Katherine Moennig, on the other hand...
