OK but that’s ridiculous because there was no problem when Taran Killam and Jason Sudeikis played Trump/Biden in their 60s. Or when whoever played Bob Dole played Bob Dole. Kate McKinnon plays RBG all the time and RBG is almost 90! That excuse is bullshit. 

Trump is one thing, but Biden and Harris are pretty generic. I bet anyone could do them. Unless it’s a racial thing with Harris and they need a light skinned black woman. But still. 

If you’re making this at home you could probably spring for the fancy imported gianduja stuff. Or make the Nutella yourself.

Why would someone remake a movie that became a punchline and widely-mocked trope as soon as it came out?

Also Scrubs and Arrested Development. Everyone’s memory-holed Scrubs because they don’t like Zach Braff or something, but for awhile it was the one good sitcom on the air. 

Yeah, why the coconut sugar and GF flour? Those aren’t actually healthier than the normal stuff, just more expensive and harder to find. And I believe GF flour actually has more calories than regular.

Oh yeah this is absolutely it. In our particular cultural moment, being Black is the ultimate hardscrabble underdog story. Another one for your list is “Gay Girl in Damascus” because 15 years ago, being gay and Muslim in the Middle East made you the perfect plucky, tough, underdog. 

There is no way Dolezal is elected to a NAACP presidency position if members know she’s white, and that’s perfectly fair.

Fewer people I assume. 

See? That’s why I assume something juicy. 

Right but she’s also a woman at the age when roles dry up. 40ish is usually when pretty leading ladies move to tv, not away from it.

The timing is weird. If she wanted to leave when her contract was up they should have known a long time ago. I watch the show and they made no move to wrap up her arc or write her out. Once filming can start again, it’s going to be “Oh, Christy got into law school in Maine.” The title is now completely nonsensical of…

So we’ve run out of 90s properties to remake and we’re now moving back to the 80s? Shouldn’t we be moving forward? Isn’t it time the 2000s had their turn? I think we’re ready for a new Lost or Memento. 

Evry character Alan Ritchson plays is either that guy o a sendup of that guy, so perfect casting I guess.

Maybe it’s an age difference. It was a huge revelation when the pop culture of my childhood (about the special tomboy girl who was so amazing she was like a boy!) became the pop culture of my teenagerhood (Clueless, Legally Blonde, Bring It On) where it’s a lesson, or at least a subversion that the ultracompetent hero…

Wow, a little girl finding the support she needs to be 100%, fully feminine. Something little girls so often get bullied for, donchaknow. Real groundbreaking shit.

I’m not sure. I think there’s a fear that MTF people will accomplish more than women, in male dominated fields, proving men are better than women. I know there are concerns about this with athletes (which is a separate thing) but these people seem to think that if people assigned male at birth compete with women,…

OK that’s a coincidence though, right? She said she picked the name after John Kenneth Galbraith, I think. 

Coincidentally, he died on Jackie Robinson day.

There was as game show for about 10 minutes years ago (Penn Jillette hosted, that’s all I remember) where people would stand on a stage and “expert” judges would try to guess things about them, like what jobs they had and details about their pasts. The hook was these judges were (I think, this was a long time ago) FBI…
