I live near a town (in the south) that used to be used for major films as well as run-of-the-mill television shows, and it took years — by years I mean a couple decades — for there to be anyplace reliable for the cast and crew to eat or go out for drinks. It was a cheap location to film, the area got tax credits, and…

I surprise-laughed at this and spilled coffee on my chin.

I was thinking more of the ubiquity of a certain surgical nose in Hollywood and in our ideas of attractiveness, that’s all.

Who also had a nose job prior to this photo.

GENIUS.

I’m hesitant to admit this, because so many people go WUT but Nick Kroll is my number one celebrity crush. I just die of him. I think some part of me, like an elbow, melted while typing his name now.

There are lots of populations that eat nutria, and make coats of them. I find that so odd, but not any more odd than eating other animals we’ve previously skinned, I reckon.

That was a nutria. I saw one at the state fair, too.

By the end of season three of The Fall I was completely ruined and will never be the same, so I know exactly what you mean.

Thank you. I got pregnant at 18 (on birth control), decided to have the child as a very active pro-choice feminist, and I can’t tell you how many people said TO MY FACE, “Well, your life is over. You could have amounted to something.” But in fact, finding out I was pregnant caused me to actively seek therapy and go to…

Someone I dearly love is bipolar and is also extremely talented in more than one area (music/acting, sculpting, a master carpenter) and when he’s manic he decides he’s going to do ALL of it and is going to be extremely famous and rich, and is, also, a nearly unbearable asshole and narcissist. Then his meds begin to…

I mean, look at you right now, lying about your name to a blind prosecutor.

I’m sure this has been said many times, but why these franchises don’t add gay couples is beyond me. Andy Cohen would be more likely to go all out with something ridiculous like The Real Housegays of Pascagoula or something, but just adding same-sex couples to the set up they already have would improve each show by a…

I can’t bear to listen, but I’d LOVE to read a full transcript.

I’m rewatching the series for the third time and I offer no apologies. I adore it.

No matter what sort of character he plays, I find him outlandishly attractive. I can’t help it, it’s like I have a defect.

Long ago I temped in a mortgage broker’s office, and one client was buying a house worth $300,000 or something (which was a lot of house 20 years ago) and he called incessantly about when the bank would have the mortgage papers ready. He had $7 million in the bank, so I found the whole thing perplexing, and also he…

I hated my stepfather when I was in high school, and one day he walked into the kitchen while a group of friends and I were playing a card game. He asked what it was called and I said, with the particular tone only a high-school girl who loathes her stepfather can master, “It’s called RATFUCK.” He gave a slight nod,…

This is exactly the case with my father’s family. His mother was illegitimate, his dad’s lineage was sketchy, and my father’s skin was dark-olive, he had black eyes, and he had a very specific curvature of his nose. Native ancestry was the go-to explanation, but none of us have had DNA tests because my siblings and I…
