My go-to answer is Dolly Parton. Born to extreme poverty, now worth more than 600 million, and spends a huge portion of it helping folks from similar circumstances. 

I actually do have a rabid anti-Avatar agenda, and I actually will die when it financially succeeds. This post is insensitive to people like me. Do better. 

“tastes are so kind of blue collar”

I’m brave enough make the argument Noel and Sandi were the best hosting duo. I like Mel and Sue, but they settled on “food-based innuendo” as their comedy gimmick early on and never really moved on. Noel and Sandi were goofier and less predictable while maintaining a similar level of warmth—well, on Sandi’s part,…

A million times this. I actually got to the point that I really appreciated the balance that Noel and Sandi had together; I think the argument could be made (not by me, because I’m a coward) that they were actually the best pair of presenters the show has had, because of the way their personas played off each other.…

He was so sweet with the bakers - but I do agree he and Noel are two absurdist comics and a more trad host would provide some balance. I hope to hell this isn’t because of the garbage people posted publicly.

And in the end, it will turn out that they hire Mike Richards on as permanent host.

From personally knowing and working with these types of people, they act purely out of impulse and vanity. They don’t share transgression or think things through or anything like that; they just “do” knowing that because of their privilege, they’ll just get away with it. He doesn’t really need to scheme, especially…

Eh, you are giving Cam and especially Daphne way too much credit. They just aren’t that smart enough to be the scheming, scammy type. Cam is just your typical frat, finance bro with his trophy wife that he cheats on with sidepieces and is overleveraged to the hilt deep down.

Sicily’s population a century ago was 4 million and was terribly overcrowded as the most populated region in Italy. It’s actually dropped since then due to emmigration to other parts of Italy and also here to the US. There are more Scilians in the diaspora than on the island. 

How dare he give such a reasonable, non-inflammatory response! The nerve! Doesn’t he know there are clicks that need baiting?!

I’m rooting for Albie now, because he gave up on Portia quickly enough after all, and handled it way more gracefully than I expected. But yeah, there are still many ways in which his broken-bird-fantasy could set him up for a bad end. 

I definitely see her giving him an intentional taste of the mind game he put her through.  Leave things vague enough to let the other person’s mind run wild. She may not want him back, but she’s definitely GETTING back at him.

I desperately want a five minute scene of just Albie and Portia at a TJ Maxx in Burbank.

I was kinda hoping for/very afraid of the reveal that when the Di Grassos went to find their relatives, they discovered that Lucia was related.

awww, such a shame. he was really good in Mirand July’s ‘Me, You, and Everyone We Know’ xx

A top-tier “hey, it’s that guy from that other thing” actor.

Interviewer: “Well, thanks for your time, I’ve learned quite a lot about your work over the past two hours. It’s really been insightful. Oh, by the way, what do you think about superhero movies?”

Judging by Plaza’s usual tone in interviews, I think she’s taking the piss at a very boilerplate question that pops up whenever an indie film with someone moderately famous pops up.

“Having an impact” is a pretty neutral statement. It doesn’t specify good or bad, just that it was memorable.
