Same! I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the final shot is one of the most powerful, heartrending images ever captured on film. Like, that’s Art, and they should be showing it to the cool kids in film school (and the rest of the movie is very good, too). I’d certainly put it up against anything nominated last weekend

Hah, yes! Did we just create a podcast??

It’s also notably the movie that broke Rooney Mara’s brain and trapped her in that character forever. 

God, it’s been so bad for so long. The Academy’s idea of “we gotta shake things up this year!” is like ... a sassy new musical number. Just utter cluelessness.

God, I haaaaate that “someone else shoots the villain at the last second” trope. The show wants it both ways: Sam gets to choose de-escalation (or whatever you call standing around getting punched for what felt like ten minutes), but the show still gets to lethally dispense the villain, who ... ughhh, dies apologizing

She is so good. Has anyone seen her in Bad Lieutenant? The way she can take a couple lines and make a whole world out of it is—well, very few actors can do that! 

Yes! It’s exactly the same with Amy Schumer (in fact I defended her a few days ago in another “ughhh, who thinks she’s funny?” thread). Imagine having the energy to hate someone because their comedy doesn’t work for you. 

Oh, absolutely nothing has changed (ok, that’s a bit of hyperbole—at least people are being called out for it now). The Britney stuff was craaazy. Like, the Details magazine cover with Justin Timberlake from 2002 (which, holy sh*t, that was 20 years ago) is the definition of misogyny. It makes me furious. If anything,

The amount of outright hatred she inspires is super disturbing. Even here (why, on this very site!), people will RACE to share that they don’t like her, don’t find her interesting, just can’t understand for the liiiife of them what people see in her, and it’s like ... ok? I wish they’d teach a course in high school on

Fellow athlete Gus Kenworthy will act as a “guide of sorts” for Underwood, helping the Bachelor Nation alum ease into his new life as an openly gay man.

Right. The knives come out for women after their first dud, whereas men can stumble along for years and it’s just “hey, the unwashed masses really love Sandler, what can ya do?” 

Sure, me. I loved a lot of Inside Amy Schumer, and remember Trainwreck fondly. She’s made some hot garbage since then, but so have a ton of people with long careers? 

We share a birthday (day & year), so I’ve always used him to measure the passing of my life. We both turned 40 this year. Only one of us is rich (won’t say which!). 

Remember when The Sex Pistols had mohawks and everyone thought they were cool? Why are today’s Hot Topic teens any different??

Spy is absolutely GREAT, and it took me like five years to watch because I thought “ugh, another Melissa McCarthy movie.” Her chemistry with Rose Byrne (who is also super f*cking funny!) was incredible.

May I suggest... Estée Lauder?

It’s a filter, which is why I chortled when his “perfect skin” was mentioned above.

I like the new single, but it’s still a Lorde track off Melodrama. The delivery, the lyrics, the steady build. I picture Lorde sitting at a grand table in a soiled wedding dress just absolutely fuming ala Miss Havisham, then smashing a precious little antique radio to bits.

I’m just catching up, and daaamn did Lawrence make things weird. Honey, you’re on a reality tv show with about fifty seasons to reference before you jump in—irritable shit is gonna happen! And this particular irritable happening should barely have dinged your radar. Honestly, her ability to take deep personal offense a

You are right, and I did a shitty job reading the article!
