Yass, was surprised the review didn't mention the Scientology stuff with the billion year contracts and calling them SP's. I did not realize that was Melissa Leo!

Oh yes, it was perfect. Especially with how anxious Lincoln was acting.

But she curled Abbi's hair by winding it up in a carrot and blowing on it! That was enough for this to be an A+. The only issue I had with the Abbi-as-Ilana bit was that it made Ilana seem unlikable; somehow when she does all that stuff in reality it's mostly endearing. But I had to immediately rewatch that scene with…

I would bet it's for women in their 30's who have a strong nostalgic attachment to it. I'm sure boys watched it, too, but the fact that it revolved around 3 daughters appealed to me as a little girl. I'm kind of on the fence in that I did really like it when I was a kid (I was the same age as Stephanie so I enjoyed…

Maybe that's the case with this book (which I never finished) but I like this author and she's written many thoughtful books about lots of other things she did not herself experience!

My first thought was…did they both receive blumpkins? I guess it's hard to know if either of them was shitting at the moment but it's possible!

I'm not coming at you from the eye rolling perspective but don't you think as an adult, the distinction between "curses" and other words is quite arbitrary? I just would never see an "explicit" and think that tells me anything about a song's quality…there are both excellent and garbage songs that have naughty words in…

I was with you until you said you don't like cursing and vulgarity…think you're missing a lot of good music if you avoid that stuff! Also, I'm a woman but still enjoy a lot of art that isn't particularly progressive in its portrayal of women but I just feel like feminism is the right to choose which misogynist…

Yeah, that is kind of his "thing"…basically, "I'm an asshole and I know it." He sometimes tests my abilities to be a Kanye apologist but overall, he knows what the fuck he's doing and that's how he stays relevant and everyone's on his jock nonstop.

While I agree, at this point he riffs on his public persona and personal life in a way that is impossible to divorce from his work, his public persona is also deeply unlikable with many many people dismissing his music based on his ridiculous antics so there's a give and take- getting both more and less credit than he…

Exactly, they seem to actually be in love and it's sweet in a way almost no old man/trophy wife relationship are portrayed. Sort of like Jay and Gloria who seem to like each other on Modern Family but better because they also spend the majority of the time being mean to each other (like all the marriages on that show.)

The only part that made me laugh was when Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis show up and they aren't just named but one of the kids specifies "her producers!" in case people didn't know, I guess.

Yeah, Nicole was "edgy" but this gal is not…her Janet outfit was cute tho!

I would also argue that TV specifically is the domain of more female friendship stories but film has more male friendship stories, simply because that's where Seth Rogan is doing his thing. Pineapple Express and Superbad come to mind as particularly celebratory of male friendships. There is the belief (I don't know if…

That's funny you say "ride or die" because I saw a friendship necklace the other day that had "ride or die" written on each side of the heart and I was telling my husband I should get it to share with my best friend and he's like ??? and I'm like COS SHE'S MY RIDE OR DIE BITCH!!! I guess he was unfamiliar with the…

Were you not surprised that people go out of their way to track down Jeopardy contestant's social media profiles to harass them? Overall terrible behavior on the Internet isn't shocking but that was something that never would have occurred to me as a common occurrence!

And it makes sense, if we're to believe Rory is working as a journalist and maybe Jess is working as a writer or publisher, the likelihood of them at least trying to make something romantic happen could work. Of course, Logan could also be in publishing but at such a high level he may have really internalized the…

His butt cut is 90% of why I never got the attraction to him. 10% is just him being like the blandest looking man alive.

I think it's funny how people hold the completely normal "bad boyfriend" behavior of Dean and Jess against them like…I guess you all were perfectly self aware 16 year olds who were very mature and knew how to handle your first love with no hiccups. Teenagers are fucking dumb!

You nailed it, season 7 was not a complete loss but April, and I would say the drama with Marty, were low points. I loved that Rory finally made some new female friends but did it have to be Krysten Ritter turned all the way up to 11? She drove me nuts, as well.
