I’ll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS

Seriously? Cats sucks. Granted, I saw Cats at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minnesota after a carb-heavy dinner and much wine. Forgiving the caliber of the local talent and the effects of the food and booze, I was bored and confused by Cats. People actually like it? And WTF is “jellicle?”

+++++for The Lady Eve.  Barbara Stanwyck is amazing. I’m no fan of Henry Fonda but that film is worth it for Barbara’s performance. She’s funny, smart, wicked, loving, and so so so so so so very very sexy. A great film.

I know lots of people love them, but to me polka dots will always look unflatteringly old-fashioned. They aren’t interesting enough to achieve retro-cool. They always make the wearer look like they raided an uptight church-lady’s closet.

Please explain how you read an article about minimizing the abuse of children and immediately jump to “feminists have no legitimate problems to complain about?” Where is your logic? Also, note how you said “underage women” is fine, and comparted it to “underage boy.” Boy is not the male equivalent of Woman. One is an

Although I agree we need to see more camaraderie and women’s “buddy” comedies, let’s not write off the comedy gold that can be mined from pure bitchiness. The standard for this in my opinion is set by 1939's The Women. A wonderful ensemble comedy full of catty bitchy women in the very best sense. (And not a single

As a die-hard Columbo fan I approve this message.

I believe in aliens.

Music and Lyrics is seriously underrated. Hugh Grant’s slight creep vibe works in the context of him being a has-been pop star who has been brought back to reality. Drew Barrymore’s wardrobe in that film still inspires me 10 years later. Plus the songs are really good (same guy who wrote songs for Crazy Ex

I have some agreements and disagreements with this list, but wholeheartedly agree that Scarlett Johansson is a bad actor. She’s incredibly boring and lacking in any sort of charisma at all. I don’t get the hype about her looks either. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to look like her instead of myself, but she’s not

I agree with you. It’s gotten to the point where I’m often bored by men as the main character(s), male writers, male showrunners, male directors. I find I go out of my way to search out art and entertainment starring and produced by women. And to address a dumb comment below, yes, some women suck and are awful because

Anyone else here almost get trampled to death at a GWAR show? I lost my footing because the crowd was tight and everyone was shoving for space. I fell and because I was a small woman, I couldn’t get anyone to notice I was crouched on the floor, unable to stand because the crowd was so densely packed. I ended up having

It’s a definite risk with age gaps! 8 year diff with me and my hubs. He used to do this (or at least try to) with me. I’m almost infinitely patient, so I put up with a lot of unnecessary crap for years. I was 30 when we married, but he still thought he had to guide me through how life works. The breaking point went

I like to picture people like this dying, going to the afterlife, meeting Jesus, being shocked he’s black, and being even more shocked when he says “Yeah, um, you got a whole bunch of stuff really, really wrong.”

I LOVE SPOILERS. They don’t ruin anything for me. To me they get rid of unnecessary mental anxiety. And I always read the last few pages of a book before I’m finished.

I agree. You can’t let them get away with the entitlement. My hubs tried to get away with a great deal in our parenting duties. I eventually just stopped doing things and would tell him “it’s your turn.” When he would complain I’d list everything I regularly did and had to take care of, then just repeat “it’s your

Here’s my hot take: it’s a mistake to be a stay at home mom (or dad). I don’t think it always a mistake, but I absolutely think that in the current work environment it’s an enormous mistake.

YES!!. Now can I get one in my house? Oh yeah, it’s soda stream.

“Sometimes this could mean years of taking the drug.” No! No! No! I hope that doesn’t become a common practice -or if it does I hope they educate their patients about probiotics. I have a congenital kidney defect which means I get UTIs and kidney infections at least a couple times a year, ever since I was a child. My

My worst mistake was deciding to try cooking up a batch of beignets from the box I bought in New Orleans. End result: hot oil fire, a 911 call, and the fire department having to bring in really huge fans to air out the apartment. Stick with saltines, PB and jam, folks.
