Accurate review. But we, the viewers, were cat-fished. Netflix top-billed Henry Golding and the writers modernised the dialogue to make us think they’d modernise the plot. But Golding had a minor role and no one got their kit off. They tantalisingly waved the female gaze at us and then rolled off and started snoring…

You’re defending this as “not bad” because it was generically competent filmmaking, while everyone else is critiquing it as a bad adaptation of a specific book. I’d say you’re moving the goalposts, but I think you just kind of wandered into the wrong stadium.

I agree, it isn’t that bad. Dakota Johnson is a delight, the pretty people are pretty, and there are some laughs to be had. It’s a bit weird, it’s a bit stupid, and everyone gets a happy ending. I’m fine with that.

I call bull shit on the hate coming from Austin purist for no other reason than the Emma adaptation was relatively well received (albeit with some fainting couches involved) and that movie contained a bare ass and an orgasm.

My issue with this film is that they completely changed who Anne Elliot is at her core. This isn’t about being a Jane Austen purist. Clueless is one of my favorite adaptations of Emma but with that film, despite being completely modernized in every way possible, Cher is still Emma.

:-( They should have just fully contemporized it instead of badly updating the dialogue but keeping the costumes. That makes me sad. I would still watch though I might want to throw a crumpet at the TV occasionally. I don’t consider myself an Austen purist - or I didn’t, until now. The dialogue is witty enough it…

Media aimed at women:

The speculation in this article is weird when several other outlets are giving way more details. I can only assume Jezebel is leaving those details out because they make Khloe look a bit more sympathetic than you’re painting her here.

Apparently, the pregnancy began in November (which, of course, means they had…

She’s on her EGOT journey! I have full faith she’ll do it if she wants it.

Agreed, this isn’t a weird couple at all. Or at least it’s not weirder than Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson (I am still a little sad they didn’t work out.)

Im supposed to be one of these over the hill matron typess, but I thought Florence dress was tasteful. In a completely non Kardashian way. And everyone has nipples, right?

I thought you might come up with some actual visionaries, like Josephine Baker, but what constitutes history for Jezebel is apparently 30 minutes ago.

“That might be the hottest raccoon I’ve ever heard in my life.”

So ... Huma likes ambitious, quick-witted motormouths. Doesn’t seem strange.

“The whole look has the vibe of what you might wear to a nude beach where actual hot people, and not just old, saggy white people in nudist cults, go to party.”

Ah yes, the event that brought the phrase “wardrobe malfunction” into the popular lexicon!

There’s also that Rose McGowan one from way back in the day (1998!). Look it up - she might as well just be wearing a thong bottom.

I’d add Haim in their last few music videos.

My wife tends to tape them to the cabinets in the playroom for a while and just changes them out as needed and tosses the old ones.
