Millennials are so darn silly. Unlike Boomers who are strong and powerful.

It’s weird how you’ve finally chosen to review these at the speed that we watch them.

They could tape this and broadcast it in movie theaters around the world. They absolutely could. But they won’t because it will lose them money in the long run.

It was chaired by Richard Gere.

I’m gonna get raked over hot coals for this but I kind of think that productions like these play a very shitty game of saying “EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS” and “SUCH AN IMPORTANT AND MOVING SHOW” and then jacking their prices up like crazy due to a completely dumb artificial scarcity.

I recall seeing a tweet from Kumail Nanjiani last week that The Big Sick had also been uploaded to pornhub in the interracial category.

Well, what else do you expect when Broadway shows are, by their very nature, an art that few get to experience live considering you need to a) have the money to get to NYC, b) have the money to stay there or nearby, c) have the vacation time to, d) have the money to buy tickets (yes, you can lottery, but that’s not…

You can’t just swap Dustin Hoffman out of Mister Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. He spent three months in an actual wonder emporium and stayed 100% Magorious on set.

Perhaps a better way is less protective of Tony’s reputation now? I don’t think anyone is going to object to how he is depicted particularly in sexual situations than the Queen. Whereas if they overtly depict the reigning monarch in full on nude scenes, people would likely get more riled up.

I’ve been waiting to talk about this episode, and you (Caroline) might not respond directly, but I need to say my piece. FYI, I also said this on Twitter, so yes I’m repeating myself. [steps on soapbox] Ay-hem:

‘Scandal’ was brilliant, and John Hurt’s performance as Ward was heartbreaking.

I had trouble with this episodes caricature of the Kennedys, but was more bothered by the trivialization of Ghana’s grievances with their former colonizer, which is used opportunistically as a resolution for the conflict between Jackie and Elizabeth. As presented, Elizabeth’s diplomatic triumph seemed more like a…

A lack of deep thinking emotionally was considered normal and even necessary by previous generations, especially in the upper classes and aristocracy.

“There are objectively far sadder things in this episode, but the final title card about Charles sending his own sons to Eton really, really broke my heart.”

I absolutely hated this ludicrous, stupid episode, especially the false way it portrayed Jackie and JFK as stupid, stumbling American boobs. Let’s start here: Jack’s father was the ambassador to the Court of St. James’s. And he had met teenaged Princess Elizabeth before the war. They knew each other, and she liked…

Really? Jackie being depicted as being a kind of coerced unwilling drug addict with Jack, despite literally no reputable historian (or anybody else really..) ever suggesting that?

I have to disagree with the notion that Margaret was more suited to be Queen than Elizabeth. Elizabeth is by far the stronger of the two, to my mind.

Philip’s mini-tantrum about how everyone was so annoyed with him as a possible match for Elizabeth even though he was a prince with blood ties to Queen Victoria was a nice re-enforcement of how much has changed relatively quickly.

Meanwhile, a different Peter Townshend was writing his first songs.

Tommy Lascelles is among my favourite characters in the whole series. As someone who has been around the Royals for 30 years, he knows excatly how to deal with each of them and more or less doesn’t have to worry about being fired.
