I get it LOL he sucks. But actually this seems like a major overreaction. Doesn’t a noise disturbance usually result in a fine?

and car dancing.

Totally. In a related note, this was my favourite tweet of last week:

Team JennaD79. It’s a fun song.

I’ll support your nerf bat legislation if you support my policy that if someone stands on the walking side of the escalator you’re allowed to push them over the side.

I like it too except for the “your love was handmade for somebody like me” line. Kind of icky.

I love it too. It has a nice zouk beat, and I dance zouk. Yes, there are FAR FAR better songs, but it’s fun. I’d say it’s a guilty pleasure, but I feel absolutely no guilt.

Can we also arrest and persecute people who like blast their shitty music or play their beep-bop-bop-bip video games on the subway without wearing headphones?Those tinny sounding speakers aren’t making your crap jams any better, my dude!

You can love it! Don’t let Jezebel cloud your judgement. Ed is the best muppet around!

You mean this song by Edwin McCain, bard of the 90s, who I once saw play in a Border’s Books long past his prime?

yeah, I’m with you and I’m not sorry. Although every time he says “and then we start to dance” my brain starts playing Safety Dance.

You have bad taste and are a bad person.

Edwin McCain. When I was in college my neighbor left for the weekend but his alarm still blasted Cher’s “Believe” every morning promptly at 7 am. I love Cher, but that shit was on a loop! If campus police had not gone in to shut it down I would have set fire to the dorm.

I’m with you I love that song and the Sheeren hate around here is so strange to me.

I’ve been watching the show, and I wouldn’t say the show decided to portray him as a guy with a big, fake dick or that they played it off for laughs. The written pieces you cite did, apparently. I find myself digging fingernails into the sofa arms whenever Peter and Celeste are in the same room, like waiting for the…

I thought what the show really did well was demonstrate how important denial is to the victim. What a critical aspect of daily survival it is: he’s not raping me (I’m not being raped); he loves me; he’s just passionate; he’s a good person; he’s a good father.

Ok but every review I’ve read so far has indeed characterized him as an abusive prick, so I don’t think laughing at a silly-looking fake dick in one scene means “no one” gets that.

Agreed, Kidman is killing it.

It’s true that they do audition some people ahead of time (but they do their best to keep it a secret from the auditionees—they think they’re auditioning for a different game show) HOWEVER, they also pick people up randomly. I know, because it happened to meeeeeeeee (it was fucking awesome).

Big Little Lies is pretty decent (on HBO).
