I don't know what they're doing either, but Minka Kelly is big enough of a name that there's got to be more to her role than just sitting off camera and chiming in every now and then. Someone's going to say/do something incriminating in front of her because they forgot she was there? But it's more the narrator who…

I was relieved it wasn't that, hope they aren't trying to put them together. He is engaged, but then again, besides Jane and Michael's second time, there have been sooo many unsuccessful engagements.

I still miss Michael (and Rafael's tailored suits, for that matter), but I think this episode did a great job dealing with his death and giving him a presence in Jane's life, even though we don't actually see him, while maintaining the show's usual tone. The giraffes bringing up memories pulled at my heartstrings, and…

So it was worth the 2.5 hours? I thought it looked intriguing, but was turned off when I found out how long it was (and then the mediocre reviews didn't help either).

I clicked on the article. When I scrolled down to the tweets, my inner goddess began jumping up and down with cheer-leading pom-poms shouting YES! (paraphrasing actual quote from the book)

I watched it way after everyone else too, and while it did feel a bit overhyped for me, I still thought it was great, especially the relationships among the kids.

Thanks for reminding me of the banana joke. "Okay class, we're going to dissect bananas today. I only have two so get into groups of thirteen."

I didn't think it was mind blowing, just a joke that had a punchline beyond saying something nasty. I honestly couldn't think of that many blue jokes she made recently, I was remembering her other material more.

Okay, I'll accept that it happens but I just haven't seen it that much.

I think that's kind of Smooches' point. A lot of male comics say uncouth, controversial things, but people don't think of it as a schtick, or at least not a "I can get away with this because I'm cute" schtick, even if it were to come from an attractive man, because of our expectations of manly behavior as opposed to…

I saw her recently and thought she was really funny, and she said she was working out material for her special. But things usually seem funnier in a live show with a crowd vs watching it at home.

Yes! I went to go see her show on Friday and she mentioned she was preparing for a special, and had a notepad with bits she would occasionally check to make sure she did all the material she wanted to try out. Besides a five-minute digression where she chewed someone out for taking out their phone, she was great.

Yeah what?? I thought she was married to the guy she did Marcel the Shell with, I swear it was less than a year ago that they were together. I thought this newswire was a movie reference or something.

I was annoyed and confused at how complicated the conspiracy stuff had gotten in season three, but season four was simpler and easier to follow. It seemed like they tried to recapture the glory days of season one by doing flashbacks, though they were worthwhile and very interesting in fleshing out what Beth was like…

It'll probably be free to stream on the NBC website, like The Good Place. I used it to catch up on episodes I missed and I don't think it was very glitchy, and the ads were definitely not as annoying as Hulu's.

I LOVE JANELLE MONAE AND AM SO HAPPY FOR HER!
That is all.

I didn't think those things were that bad, which is why I was wondering why people were saying her parents are scumbags. The demanding money upfront seems like a diva move, but it's not like show business is known for being fair about money. Moving the whole family for one kid's Hollywood aspirations seems crazy to…

Ah ok, I hope she turns out alright.

Chloe Grace Moretz? Dakota and Elle Fanning? They're in their late teens/early twenties but seem sensible enough. Oh, Joseph Gordon-Levitt! And I feel like there's kids that had big roles when they were young and haven't become superstars, but didn't self-destruct, like Frankie Muniz, Ralphie from A Christmas Story,…

What's up with her parents? I read about how her dad demanded cash upfront from agencies that wanted to sign her, and that they moved from the UK to the US for her acting career, which, while nice for her, seems pretty drastic and unfair to the other kids in the family. Anything else?
