“So, who wants to be the first person to tell Tucker Carlson about this so we can all enjoy him having an absolute meltdown over a book he’s never heard of on live television??”

It’s definitely the cynic in you. This is a great story about an author and a publisher doing it right. No deflections, no blaming the audiences, no leaving the issue to fester for months. They just agreed to pull the book and apologized. Also Pilkey is at the height of his popularity, if not climbing, so it less of a…

There are really only so many character flaws that having a big dick can excuse and frankly that number gets lower every year I get older.

I remember picking up on her matching the boyfriend egg preferences as the movie went on and thinking “ah, clever! She goes along to get along, but can’t commit to a life of doing that, nice.” And then Roberts is contemplating some cold hollandaise sauce like she’s in Sophie’s Choice.

Caroline notes the Stars Hollows-y vibe to the town and that’s where the movie is the strongest, even as it grates on my nerves. Quirky people in a wacky small town, lots to work with there (and Paul Dooley’s alcoholic dad definitely needed more time). Going back to NYC is such a deflation.

“Wells came up with the idea that Maggie has no internal sense of self and instead simply adopts her boyfriends’ interests, right down to the way they like their eggs.”

(Almost) everybody forgets Saving Private Ryan’s opening.

The second film has a throwaway line referencing that they broke up, allowing Gordon to have a Catwoman-type romance with Iceland’s assistant coach.

That makes sense. I think it would kind of depend on their personal style, then. I’ve never been particularly “girly”, and I don’t wear makeup, so when I first came out most of the changes were getting women’s jeans and shirts instead of men’s. With that said, I know a lot of trans women who immediately went very…

Maybe it would’ve done better if they made her a streetwalking, let-you-do-her-up-against-a-dumpster, chews-gum-to-get-the-taste-of-random-dude’s-man-fat-outta-her-mouth hooker.

It may have been a later trailer or the international one released in
UK was slightly different, but it included the FedEx gag “I don’t know where she’s going, but she’ll be there by 9am tomorrow”.

That for me was the funniest part of the film. That meant it dragged a bit when there was still a good 20 minutes left…

And even forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean letting that person back into your life.

First thing you could do, if you haven’t already, is write them a variation (depending on context I don’t fully have) of two simple sentences: “good for you/I’m happy for you” and “I’m here if you ever need anything”.

I don’t understand why there has seemingly not been a goal for her to move to be able to slowly gain control of her life.
She did get herself in a terrible place years ago, she was being drugged and controlled by the boyfriend/manager so I undersand putting her on the conservativeship to help her get back to a good…

Look at all the insane shit male rockers/pop stars/rappers do to their families, themselves, their co-artists and fans and yet they remain in full control of their assets and lives. This has ALWAYS been a spit in every woman’s eye. When women choose to have kids a good portion of their freedom can be taken away.

I’d say the biggest thing, especially early on, is just letting them know that you support them. Coming out is terrifying, and it can be a time when it feels like your family and friends-your entire support network, really-is unstable or unreliable. Not necessarily because those people are bad or that you cannot trust…

Thank you. The “it doesn’t make as much money” argument is laughable for this reason. It’s like starving a racehorse then putting him up against a pedigreed stallion that has the best nutrition, training, and stables on earth, and expecting the starving horse to compete and win.

Yes!! High fives all around! Now if this damn pandemic would just let up so I can go lay alone on a beach somewhere... 

I feel this so much. Being someone’s caretaker is exhausting. Even people who knew what was going on would ask me if I was working on my own projects, and I wanted to punch them. Here’s to brighter and sober days! 

Does she not have every right to “shun” her abusive father, regardless of his mental health status...?
