Yeah she was really great.

OMG. That was Frances McDormand! I’m as bad as the writers of this article!

But that’s how good Frances was...she was the role.

I also remember all the truly awful and horrible (like, we are talking nothing you would ever, ever, ever hear said today) things that was said and done to her....she lost everything, absolutely everything. And, after a while when she appeared again and people started to accept her (which....ugh the fact that anyone…

I once played the Sleepy Hollow episode while teaching abroad because the students had recently read the book. They were so confused and it never occurred to me how weird it was to explain. “But he’s not a human?” “No, he’s Wishbone, this is his imagination.” “But he can talk in the real world too.” “No, nobody…

I once worked in a hellhole in which someone who was going to Vegas to see Britney Spears referred to Spears as “my spirit animal”. That wasn’t exactly why I quit, but it was a sprinkle on the sundae. 

Speaking as someone who once worked at a shelter for kids who had been removed from their families due to abuse and neglect, I’d like to add my voice to all those here. He’s doing good work. And just by being someone he can rely on, so are you. Don’t forget that.

Wishbone is still my favorite version of Pride & Prejudice.

Check out Holly Hunter in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”. The movie has some problematic themes, but Hunter’s performance is sublime.

This. Nice people don’t have to market themselves as nice.

Check out Raising Arizona. That might help you appreciate HH.

As far as the dining hall thing goes, I’ll cop to eating at my old dorm’s cafeteria every time I come back for homecoming.  It’s a nostalgia thing, for old times when you could walk down a few flights of stairs and have an all you can eat buffet laid out (and soft serve for dessert!)

I love Jodie Foster, and like Brooke Shields she somehow survived a horrible stage mother and all the temptations of 70s and 80s Hollywood to go onto to an ivy league school and great success as an actor and director. And Taxi Driver? The woman deserves all the respect.

On the flipside, I once met Werner Herzog at a film festival, and he’s EXACTLY like you’d expect him to be.  It was an amazing experience.  

The problem here is that the Jezebel staff is too young to have known Holly Hunter and Jodie Foster when they were young (in Foster’s case VERY young) actors making their mark in excellent films. Their confusion is clearly generational - they might as well be discussing Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman and Barbara Stanwyck.

Too many zoomers in here, but you’re right.  All that’s old is new again.

Anyone remember in the ‘90s when Rosie O’Donnell also had a daytime talk show?

I actually Krasinski’s snark comes from his “trying too hard” act the last few years, not necessarily from The Office. From cheerleading the CIA as Jack Ryan to selling his homemade COVID web show for an obscene amount of money, the guy rubs some people the wrong way.

also - I’m not trying to undermine the awful reputation she has, just trying to understand the psyche of Ellen despite only having a creative writing degree

The fact that the show and (I assume) the host treat being nice as being part of the show’s "brand," and not the right thing to do as a human being, is the problem here.

I’m a teacher and a fellow Wishbone-celebrator. When students come hang in my classroom during lunch, I put Wishbone up on the Smartboard. They DIE at the 90s everything, but then they get all caught up in the story and don’t want to leave. (These are 7th and 8th graders, by the way - so they’re too cool for…
