There’s a great chapter about how sexuality is portrayed in this movie in Hadley Freeman’s “Life Moves Pretty Fast.” It will be interesting to see how much of the dynamic is changed in this movie for today’s ridiculous audiences.

I mean, all of those people were who I’d cast if I were making this movie today. But this movie already exists and it still holds up, so why mess with perfection?

I did too.

I’m surprised “Mrs. Nugent” isn’t traditional enough to take her husband’s name?

I’m so excited about this. It made my day!

This is like a turducken of conservative infighting.

I work in a highly dysfunctional institution and have to employ this on a daily basis (even with legit communication like email). I just watch it go by and say, “It’s going to be fun to see how this unfolds.”

I know this is probably overreacting, but I kind of feel like I should be actively protesting this.

A good friend of mine threw a shower for the second baby where all we were expected to bring was casseroles. I’d have also contributed diapers, ointments and other perishables if asked (though again, no one subsidizes my life choices).

I agree. The registry is not the issue (though most people should cool it with the stemware): the issue is the expectation of a gift with a specific dollar amount. Most people are going to buy a gift of some sort, and it’s helpful to know what a couple wants/already has. But I can’t look at a registry without…

I don’t even see people cry like that on Something Borrowed, Something New, and in that show they literally cut up people’s wedding dresses in front of them.

Nothing like a lecture on morality from a group devoted to a day of binge drinking and public vomiting.

I wouldn’t have used “rectified” in my letter in this situation.

Given that it is rumored that his presidential campaign started the night Obama made fun of him at the Correspondent’s dinner, I’d be okay if he sat this one out. Who knows what fresh hell would come of it?

I know that I am technically white and should consider myself privileged, but I am scared shitless as a Jewish person right now. I’m more scared that the horrors that happened to us will happen to other ethnic groups this time around, but I keep telling people that, if this goes on long enough, Jews are going to be…

EVERYONE has been telling me to watch this show. I save my emotional reserves for the high-quality drama of OINTB and Transparent, and when I finished binging those I was like, “No more serious. If I’m going to sit and watch it, it has to make me feel better than when I started.” So I’m now watching Jane the Virgin,…

Wait, a vow of abstinence enforced by polygraph? Both of those things have been proven to be completely ineffective!

He wanted everything else to be decided by a free market. Here’s how that works.

I grew up solidly middle class and white, so I’m checking my privilege, but private school for three kids PLUS college was not going to happen in my family. We fell into the center of what private schools call “the dumbbell”: too poor for full tuition, too rich for financial aid. Anyway, I never thought much about how…

Mayonnaise should ONLY be used as a sandwich adhesive, i.e. for tuna salad or in a thin layer on the bread. Anything where the mayonnaise is a featured ingredient is disgusting.
