He might have commented publicly first, but it was her on-set behavior that got her fired in the first place.

I mean, like, if he was at an industry party and her name came up, I sincerely doubt he'd be like, "Oh yeah, Janet, she's great, hire her!" And that kind of thing can have a chilling effect on someone's career, especially in an industry in which personal relationships are so important. But I doubt he's gone out of…

She's convinced Will Smith is the author of a conspiracy to keep her out of work (and insists that the rest of the cast only sided with Smith to protect their own careers).

Yeah, it's pity she couldn't keep her ego in check, because she's great.

It wasn't a great movie to begin with, and the lousy dubbing (and the failure to subtitle or otherwise translate plot-critical written materials) made it almost unfollowable, if you…

Okay, yeah, sign me the hell up.

My ingrained femininity is telling me to tell you that it's all okay. But it's not. It's not.

I hear you. But I swear on my life it's delicious.

The Chef Boyardee thing is like 50% revolting, but also 50% …cold dumplings in tomato sauce, sure.

The trick to supermarket white bread is to buy the in-house baked stuff. I learned this on my grand tour of My Digestive System Hates Sugar, Including Added Sugar. Supermarket white bread that wasn't made to be trucked halfway across the globe, and was baked today or yesterday is usually fine.

And they taste like shit.

Ditto, although that's mostly because of chronic acid reflux. Sugar is not my friend.
