I’m in the same boat. I think the only way you can really enjoy this is if you have an existing understanding of what Eurovision is, its role in EU pop culture, and how it works. As someone who unabashedly loves all WF vehicles (and feels Blades of Glory is EXTREMELY underrated when people are ranking his repertoire)…

lol omg yes, it was like Tinsley’s mom put “How To Be A Mom” into AskJeeves before this experience. 

There is a 1960s sci-fi series called “The Demon Princes”. One of these evil princes is a “hormagaunt”- he vivisects and extracts the clean, young blood and hormones of children to maintain eternal life.

Yes, deeper dive into Linda Stokes plz!!!

This is the wholesome, wonderful shit I need to read on days/weeks/years like this.

My high school unrequited crush is now shilling essential oils on Facebook and only posts HIGHLY edited selfies. What the hell was I thinking????

bottle of wine a day. 

Then they went and tried to be all cheeky by sticking the wildly inferior “Spokesman” into the THPS 4 soundtrack. For shame!

Absolutely, for me Superman is the true iconic song from THPS, way more than Bring The Noise (actually, forgot it was in there).

In reading this breakdown of The Matrix I just realized The Matrix is Harry Potter.

As someone who is still watching Grey’s Anatomy, I can attest to this. You just....you can’t just stop watching. You’ve invested too much. It’s like people who get a junker car that they’re gonna “fix up one day” but they never get to it but can’t seem to get it out of their driveway (LOOKING AT YOU, DAD).

I am amazed and perplexed that The Real Housewives of Atlanta are decorating their homes in the exact same way as all of the women from my high school (Real Quarantined White Girls of Suburban Indiana) that I am hate-friends w/ on Facebook.

Team Gregor!!!!

yes! I never skip the intro because I love the song and seeing them living through the ages. 

I have the same question. I’ve never seen the stage version, but the book (and to a lesser extent, the film) holds a special place in my heart. Roald Dahl already did a pretty bang-up job vilifying masculinity in women through his creation of The Trunchbull....what is the point of taking it a step further to make it…

Wow, didn’t realize my joking generalization about a Hunger Games prequel would hit such a tender nerve. 

Hunger Games Franchise: “Which character motivations interest you the very least? And you have zero interest in learning their back story?”

There are two types of Bond Girls: The Ursula Andress Model or the Diane Rigg Model and let me tell ya, the ones that use the Diane Rigg Model are ALWAYS superior because those Bond girls have personality and agency that help forward the plot, no matter how thin. 

The I planned to be caught trope always sticks in my craw— but I will admit I did love the Home Alone Booby Trap finale. I love that shit.

It will be interesting to look at the decline in quality of the Moore-era Bonds through the same lens as the Brosnan era and the Craig era, I feel like they all saw the pressure to “do more” that came with success and ultimately out-sillied themselves to the point of blandness. Here’s my recape of the Moore era based…
