You made me literally “HA!” - well done!! 👏🏾

Totally! Basically uverywhere else on the internet, the “DON’T READ THE COMMENTS” maxim is vital, but, on Jez, there’s a lot of worthwhile comments and people who’ll shut down the jerks/trolls.

I remember about a year or so before the release, there was huge hype about the money and I was very unimpressed (and I was even more insufferable then than I am now, so I was really displeased by the whole thing).

It was infuriating/revolting! I knew I didn’t like the movie, but I’m suddenly rediscovering all these long lost memories of how much it sucked.

OMG I’m now flashing back to pre-release Avatar hype about how much money the movie cost to make. I remember being horrified because I always get horrified by hearing the amount of money (it was around the billion dollar mark, I think - ?) that gets spent on the Avatars of this world because a) global poverty, and b)…

YES!! Avatar was visually spectacular and I’m guessing that involved some nifty tech work, but it was not a great film. I never saw Pocahontas, nor that other film that is frequently cited as having been ripped off by Avatar (Fern Gully?), but I remembered being horrified by how trite and cliche the dialogue was (and…

I LOVED THAT SO MUCH!!!! I did not like Avatar and I thought The Hurt Locker was quite good... And, actually, I really hated Avatar, in many respects, and it made me very happy when Kathryn Bigelow won the Best Picture Oscar

Yeah! I don’t comment that frequently and I only started commenting in the last year, but I’ve been lurking Jez and, to a lesser extent, other Gawker Media sites for many years (the better part of a decade).

I will be very disappointed/disillusioned/PISSED if that doesn’t get you out of the greys!

This is hilarious because I’d been thinking “I used to think Kendall was quite pretty, but it seems that, with age*, she’s started looking a lot more like her mother and that makes her unattractive to me**”... I guess the resemblance might just be “cosmetologically altered face” haha.

Hahah that’s how I read it: “You’re in AA, so I’m going to try to insult you by throwing terminology/one of steps in your face!” :/

Obviously I can’t definitively comment on what people who read your first post before knowing your history would’ve thought... But I CAN report that the person who responded below (re: “taking her inventory”) was being a massive dick. You weren’t taking her fucking inventory; you were expressing your hope that she…

I didn’t read your comment as victim blaming. at allI remembered your user name as someone who is in recovery (from one of those “ask a former alcoholic” or SNS posts, I think) and I read it as you empathising with Lindsay - dare I say, even hurting for her - and commenting based on that feeling. I did NOT interpret…

Congratulations! That’s awesome! Sending you all the best wishes and positive vibes for your recovery <3

<3 sorry for your loss. My snoring dog is nestled next to me and will definitely growl if I hug him, but I will give him extra love/attention when he's more receptive.

Poor Mrdizzle :( Y’all need to have a big pizza party (and by that, I men you guys need to order several party sized pizzas. Guests are optional and discouraged) when his jaw is healed.

I learnt my lesson, but apparently, that lesson wore off after 7ish years because I read youtube comments, sometimes :/

You’ve raised a good point. Years ago, I watched the first part of a documentary (back when Youtube had time limits) on the Armenian genocide, in which a lady described her childhood experience of her father being beheaded and the rest of the family hugging his decapitated head and crying, and the comment section was…

Yes! I only ever saw a couple of episodes, but there were at least a couple of women in that group that I LOVED - e.g. Chandi and Jenny.I would watch them... I WANT TO WATCH THEM.
