He has the look of a lost Ramone.

I am a middle aged (sigh) white dude, and I felt exactly the same way about it. Well, maybe not the included part. But I did love it. It is honestly just so fucking cool to have a no apologies, no bullshit female protagonist. None of this “Oh, but it’s *really* Furiosa’s story, we just had to call it Mad Max” crap.

Yaaaaaas. After watching Natalie Portman crumble like a sad cookie in the prequels, it was nice to see some lady-competence in this one, esp when said competence gave way to her mastering everyone’s domain.

“There was, of course, always Princess Leia; tough and able to fend for herself, she was hardly a damsel in distress, but she was ultimately a passive player subject to the larger forces that defined the Star Wars universe.”

It also helps that she is just so damn good in the film. Daisy Ridley pulls off the typical Star Wars angsty struggle with the Force without coming off as whiny, something never accomplished in the prequels.

“ That Leia was capable of wielding the elusive but powerful “Force,” yet never did (at least in the films), was a defining aspect of her character.”

I didn’t think having a lady-lead would make that much of a difference to me (I didn’t think I’d feel so included) but it legitimately did in the best way possible.

I had that same feeling, that was such a powerful moment and if I hadn't been so caught up in the HOLY SHIT of it all, I would have cried. Beyond thrilled.

SAW IT LAST NIGHT AND AM GOING TO SEE IT AGAIN TOMORROW!

Aww. Both my parents were huge fans of the original movie, and I had older brothers so I was always encouraged to like them. Sorry you knew so many crappy boys. :p

I now possess a deep and abiding desire to fuck Adam Driver until he turns to dust.

I was sad too but only because of a certain characters reaction to the certain thing... I AM MAKING SENSE RIGHT? hahaha.

Finally saw Star Wars and I want to see it again! I loved the new characters including Finn. He’s so adorable and nerdy. Rey is strong and capable. I just had a blast. I saw it with my dad and he said he saw the first one when he 29. He was sad about a certain thing that happened.

It’s the same old bullshit in all of these posts where apparently when the wage gap happens to wealthy women it doesn’t matter because being poor is worse.

I just went through this. I was recruited for a position and offered a job that I hadn’t even applied for. So clearly I was in the power position. But when it came time to talk numbers, I was so scared to ask for what I knew the market rate was currently because it was so much more than I was making at my old

B.J. Novak’s tweet is gold.

Ok Kylie. Let’s talk.

Good. It’s gross.

Isn't Bazaar a fashion magazine though? How is nudity fashion? Is it the shoes? Wat?

Yup this cover makes me feel super empowered as a woman. My feminity feels celebrated AF! Thank you Harper’s Bazaar for being so brave and trailblaze-y!
