Perhaps an abortion isn’t the only answer?

Agreed. And isn’t that the whole point of having the choice? In the movie (which if you haven’t seen it you should), while she wasn’t happy about being pregnant, she made a willful decision to have the child. She made her choice and in the end she found her voice and strength to leave the abuser (sorry, spoiler) and…

The movie was great, it’s so sad that Adrienne never got to see the success of her movie, and what it would go on to be. It’s great that there’s so many women involved here.

The murder of Adrienne Shelly and the circumstances surrounding it are still fucking unfathomable. So stupid and unfucking fair. She was a neighbor of mine and there is no way of describing her without using every cliche in the book . She was sweetness, intelligence, and grace. She left us something good and for that,…

I really don’t get the mentality that just because the timing isn’t right and you still choose to have the baby you are suddenly anti-abortion.

I am still so sad about what happened to Adrienne Shelly.

I’ll echo what everyone else said and also add, if I remember correctly, there’s an autobiographical tinge to the movie because Adrienne Shelly, who wrote and co-starred as Dawn in the movie was pregnant with her first child while writing it and had a lot of ambivalent feelings about motherhood until her daughter was…

Umm, its actually only the first Broadway show with an all-female creative team since January of this year. Eclipsed, which you mention in the article also had an all-female creative team (and an all-female cast too), not to mention that everyone in the cast and creative team was either black or African or both. It…

No problem! It also changes the purposes of the ensemble to reveal much more of Jenna’s inner life—which is her happy, pie-creating place—so while her marriage isn’t working, there are other things in her life that are, you know? Full disclosure: I work on the show, so seeing the ideas evolve may give me a different…

Lupita Nyong’o is in a Broadway play called Eclipsed that I think has similar female representation, if not even more remarkable.

I think it’s okay for a woman to not want an abortion even though she’s not happy about being pregnant.

I still feel so bad about Adrienne Shelly.

I think you’re reading too much into it, tbh. In the movie, the baby was the reason she stood up for herself and finally kicked her husband to the curb. That’s not uncommon. What was the movie supposed to be? Woman gets pregnant. Woman get abortion. Woman has affair with abortion doct- actually hey that’s a pretty…

Just wanted to point out that Eclipsed made history by being the first Broadway play to have a female writer, director, and all female cast.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH.

And once again I’d choose Big, even if Baldwin was playing him. John Corbett annoyed the fuck out of me (but then, he always does with his aw shucks routine) on SATC and while Aidan Quinn might have been slightly less annoying I still couldn’t with the ‘Hey Petey’ bullshit.

OK, seems like it’ll be fun to share here. Back in like 2003/04 I was working AV for an event at the Plaza in NYC. The day I arrived it was too early to check in, no big, I’ve got a book and Central Park is right there. I walk down into the park and notice a big fooferall. They’re shooting a scene for SATC with Carrie…

I hope everyone sees this comment. These are very important details. It feels like Jez just told the story everyone expected to hear, instead of what actually happened.

I actually see a point to the protests here. The term namaste and mandalas do have specific roots in East Adian religion. You can certainly do yoga in a purely physical and secular fashion but some course correction was likely needed in this setting.

Apparently, there is a whole lot more to than this. The yoga teachers tell the kids they are spiritual healers, tall them about what special crystals they have to wear and shit like that. Apparently the vice principal owns a crystal shop and describes herself as a crystal salesperson who is a vice principal on the…
