You know, I struggle with this a lot, and it’s kind of refreshing to hear someone out there being conflicted when encountered by bad behavior on the part of public figures they admire. What exactly is the difference between “Joy Reid looks to have made a large volume of homophobic remarks, but it’s cool because I like…

The modern soundtrack was SO effective, in the same way the modern soundtrack was in Baz Luhrman’s (sp?) Great Gatsby. So many of those historical party scenes end up feeling very....sterile? because it doesn’t effectively convey that they were the debauchery of their time.

I came here to say the same thing! I thought The Beguiled was excellent. And I remember Marie Antoinette being really polarizing at the time, but it sounds like its reputation has improved a bit in retrospect? I recall the “I Want Candy” scene really grinding some gears.

I’m 31 and that was very much part of the freshman dorm starter pack, along with Donnie Darko, Go (with fresh out of Dawson’s Creek Katie Holmes and pre-directorial Sarah Polley), and the early Guy Ritchie movies (Lock Stock and Snatch). I remember Kids being super affecting, but that really seems to have dropped off,…

Ugh, but that contributes to the problem! By blaming his pass-over on the “diversity candidate” now he gets to seethe in fury at the mean, mean diversity candidate who stole away his opportunity.

I’d like to know where on this chart this video falls.

The hypocrisy of these folks referring to others as “snowflakes” never ceases to amuse me. Projection at its finest.

The New England public universities offer in-state tuition to any student who is enrolling in a major that isn’t offered at their home state institution. I also recall Wisconsin and Minnesota having set up a reciprocal agreement. They’re not uncommon.

I recall there being a lot of side-eye toward a couple of white actresses a few years back who went as Suzanne/Crazy Eyes from OINTB. Even though they were clearly not in blackface (real pale. translucent), I think the optics of a white woman playing a mentally ill POC in a prison uniform with her hair knotted up was…

Deleted: looking back this was not at all related to the topic at hand.

She may not have specifically created it, but I think it largely would have fizzled out had she not been there throwing gasoline on it.

Legit though, beyond carrying that hula hoop Chanel in the entry look and saying ‘absolutely’ all the time, do you remember anything that Gia did?

1. I almost feel bad for poor Kalorie, I actually thought she was really charming, and I think on another season she could have made it to the “Coco Montrese/Alexis Michelle Memorial Sixth Place ‘Why exactly are you still here?’ Spot”. She was cute, reasonably well put together, and honestly way more appealing than…

Also, it is equally amusing that Michael Stuhlbarg is her boyfriend and dad, and he too will be referred to as such henceforth.

I appreciate you falling on your tragically lame sword just for me. You’re the tops :)

Not to be too obtuse but this sounds hilarious and I want to get the joke and googling hasn’t helped. Can one of you make me feel like less of an Old and explain it to me?

I honestly wish just one person would say, “You know, I am a woman in my 40s and there aren’t a lot of roles written for women my age, particularly those that aren’t ‘wife, mother, nagging shrew, or some combination thereof’ so I made an unpalatable choice and took a job. That doesn’t mean I support him or his…

If we’re talking about Sarah Drew characters, her spot as “person in Mad Men with the most quietly disappointing life ever/Kitty Romano” hits me hard also. She knocked that one out of the park.
