Right? It’d be so embarrassing for someone to defend any sort of fairy-tale system by saying “They don’t have any real power, so they’re innocent of the bad stuff” and then say “They stand for tradition, so we shouldn’t get rid of them” all while arguing, in bad faith, that they’re not a Monarchist and ackshully…

It could be a spousal thing. My partner absolutely loves my rosemary potatoes even though they’re, like, basic rosemary potatoes (my only “trick” is grinding the rosemary, peppercorns and salt together in a mortar-and-pestle). Super easy brownie points to get (and I like the potatoes too, so like double-win).

If it was for Scream 4 then I don’t think she would have gotten it anyway. Emma Roberts was the right pick given the cache of weirdness she gets from Eric and the wholesomeness she gets from Julia, on top of just plain ol’ nepotism.

I think it was a bit of inundation for both of them for media coverage. Since they were always in something they were always in a trailer or doing press, so just by always being on the TV I got tired of them. For better or worse Amy Adams didn’t get the same treatment: Better in that I still love her, worse in that…

Nah, from my experience with other gay men, Spacey definitely looks the type you tell your friends to steer clear of.

Who doesn’t?

I was wondering about that as well, then I remembered Reynolds is Canadian

The horror in Hereditary is that no matter what they did, no matter the atonement or abjuring they did, they were screwed from the start. So it’s less about whether it can happen IRL or not, but if the grandmother’s doings could be undone.

Good media will always be able to represent “the human condition”. But sometimes it’s nice to be able to enjoy a film where I don’t have to go one degree outside of myself to enjoy a romance

If the doctor’s personal philosophy potentially violated the Hippocratic oath, then she’s well within her rights. Or will you also be clutching pearls about the other patients that posted negative reviews of the same doc as well and telling what they should be doing instead?

He’s obviously a twink

So she’s Elizabeth II?

I don’t think of her as a vacuous teenager, I think of her as a slickly developed product that’s maintained a public persona to maximize sales in key quadrants. She does have some finely written songs, especially when she’s (either feigningly or genuinely) being self-conscious on her latest albums, but she really was…

I can’t really hate Cora because I always feel guilty she didn’t get the job she clearly could have been really good at.

The issue with his Halloran idea is that the cultural cache that Hotel has from the first movie is too overwhelming. Threading the needle of nostalgia and novelty would be difficult.

Listen, you shouldn’t have improvised a small bit of flavor text that now they think is a clue to a massive treasure hoard even though they’re 1st level.

Like, they could even handwave it looking different than GoT time as the Targs being ostentatious. 

As a gay man I don’t feel that affected by Joffrey’s death in the “bury your gays” trope, mostly because that it shows that their romance was enough to influence the upcoming civil war. I’d argue that HotD Joffrey is on par with Hottie Baratheon dying in that their being gay is secondary to the part that their deaths…

12 years? Surely you must be forgetting the Jackie Chan one that came out only a couple of years ag-oh fuck you

Yeah, the SMILF allegations kind of take the cake compared to Ellen being an asshole.
