Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Ah, I see what you’re saying. I don’t know that we can draw comparisons to other ancient empires though. Like, we all speak the same language, the majority of Americans share the same religion, and excepting Latines and indigenous peoples, don’t have a thousand year history in this country. Also, white people are a…

I would argue that those who think this was a honeymoon are blind to other internal, soul-rocking conflicts: Japanese interment, Jim Crow, suffrage, Civil Rights in the 60s, etc. We might not have had white man fighting white man, but we did have everyone else fighting against white man. I don’t think all out war is a…

it’s typically understood to mean, “this isn’t the American ideal,” or, “this isn’t what America stands for.” It’s tantamount to saying, “this behavior is un-American” and is actually a condemnation equivalent to labeling them as so outside of the ideal as to be unworthy of the label “American.”

For whom was this the “honeymoon phase”?

Uh oh. What are angry archaeologists like?

Yes, that totally works. I hate it when I go to store or call a doctor’s office and ask question then they just say “no,” and that’s it. But it’s never “that’s it”, there are usually other options available as you noted with King novels. Like, “No, we don’t perform that service but we do xyz that can help with abc…

Is the whole staying in character an actual component of Method as taught in acting courses or is that something Hollywood sprinkled on?

I’m a petite woman who sneezes real loud. I’ve tried to lower the volume of my sneezes, but it literally hurts to restrain myself. Sometimes the gale force needs to knock a few trees down, otherwise the pressure builds up and you got yourself a hurricane.*

Why is this so common? Anecdotally, I’ve seen at least one first-hand example, and countless whispers from others about so-and-so who left suddenly. I need a study on this!

The ensuing cartoon....

It’s a very educational film, but really boring. The whole vignette-style storytelling didn’t work for me. Also, a lot of violence against women in this film. Goop & Kate & a friend of Law’s character die, Sanaa gets assaulted, Marion is kidnapped as leverage. 

Hey friend, I once asked my teacher in 6th grade health class what the phrase “masturbation causes blindness” means ‘cos I saw it on a t-shirt at the jungle-hippy version of Hot Topic (Jungle...something...anyone remember that late 90s patchouli hot house?).

Anyone remember Adina Howard?

On thinner bodies, the dress skews a tiny bit fascist.

She’s way cool. I love Stacy. Much of that berating and breaking down probably came from producers and clever edits.

It’s now cool again to be unaware of things in pop culture, especially on a website dedicated to pop culture, in a blog series about famous people within pop culture.

But she studied history and civics!

What the actual fuck? Actually shutting down, actually providing financial bailouts to people, and not just putting a “pause” on mortgage and rent payments, but actually waiving rent and mortgage. That will require billions from the Fed, and I’m here for it. I pay my taxes.
