Imagine if the vaccine IS deadly and in 10 years the only people left on the planet are the people who were too paranoid to get it. That does not sound like a fun world to live in.

Hollywood did used to operate with stars that were bigger than their roles. And it could be terrible. They would have these big stars, and have multi-movie contracts, so they would be horribly miscast in the movie itself because the studio just wanted the big name. That’s why you get John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Some…

Sorry, you left something out here. It should read,

Private foundations that people start tend to give to ... other private foundations. I’m sure if someone got on Foundation Directory Online’s database (I have it at work) and followed all of the money there would be some interesting revelations. But in a lot of cases it’s just rich people setting up a charitable…

Look, if I was researching a king for a dramatic portrayal and found out he did that, I would TOTALLY put it in the show.

Yeah, especially since I think the Home Office made the decision and not the Windsors themselves. Like maybe if they had really pushed for it they would have been successful, but it would have been super bad for them, politically.

Yet another episode hilariously pointing out that for all of her strengths, Elizabeth is no Rhodes scholar, nor does she have the interest or intellectual capacity to become one.

I will point out once again that this Peter Townsend conflict between Margaret and Peter Townsend was made up - Elizabeth fully supported the marriage. Margaret could have married him immediately if she agreed to give up her titles and her position in the royal family, but she didn’t. She could have married him later,…

For those of you wondering if his comments were anti-Semitic, the ADL SPECIFICALLY exists to point out when something is anti-Semitic. They don’t speak for all Jews, but they speak for a LOT of Jews. Their entire existence is based on calling out Anti-Semitism. The people who work there are media professionals who…

I don’t know how he managed to find the world’s creepiest mask but if that’s the look he was going for, he knocked it out of the park.

In all fairness there is no “right” way to process trauma, but there are certainly some wrong ones.

I really do feel bad for Baldwin, as I can’t imagine accidentally killing someone in a stunt I was assured was safe and not going to kill someone. That’s horrific to have to live with. This is definitely the wrong way to go about handling it, though.

First of all, they’re not fictional characters.

I had mixed feelings about this episode. I enjoyed watching it, but afterwards I started thinking abotu how it portrayed Sydney as a loyal servant who just existed to serve and was happy with that. There’s no problem with taking pride in your work, but the real Sydney had a family and left the Duchess of Windsor’s…

I definitely wouldn’t blame them for not doing it. I mean, that’s your career right there. You might never come back from it. If there’s a decision to be made, it’s a really hard one.

Imagine you’re the first non-binary cast member, your whole career has led up to this, they bring up a noted transphobe to host, and you know if you boycott you probably won’t keep your job.

Say what you want about the rest of him as a person, but he really does put his money where his mouth is when it comes to activism. During Katrina, he went out in a boat to rescue people from the roofs of their houses.

I know this isn’t the main conversation, but I will just say that as a LARPer, I would be seriously embarrassed for anyone who bought that armor, much less actually wore it. I wanna say this is the bottom of nerdy-but-expensive LARP armor but I don’t want anyone burning my eyeballs in an attempt to prove me wrong with…

I love how we’re not even considering the idea that the movie will be very good, get great reviews, and people will want to see it based on that. The idea of this movie being a huge hit based on the strength of the story or whatever isn’t even part of the media narrative.

That was the moment I said, “Do I want to be here anymore?” and almost got up and left, but decided to stick it out. It got more bearable after the family dinner.
