When we were young and poor and dating I was very into minimalism. And I wanted something “interesting” rather than large or sparkly. I am older now (it’s been 20 years) and my style and tastes have changed. If ring #1 hand’t gotten lost in a a move I would have never wanted another. But since it did....might as well…

An absolutely mawkish case for the engagement ring: On shitty days, when I hate myself, I have an always-with-me tangible reminder that I love and am loved. Sometimes that’s enough to get me through. 

I agree with less being more.

I didn’t mean what I said insofar as all the events in the film aren’t happening and it was all a dream or something like that, but without getting into spoilers, the general sheer...uhhh...logistics of it just don’t make any sense to the point of being immersion breaking.

He could have…

Thanks! I also think it’s very apt analogy for a number of things like a bank account that has funds but you know that's money is long spent lol.

Wow, it’s like looking at the stars in the night sky knowing that some of the light reaching us is from long dead stars. 

They had a full year!

I’ve not seen Get Out yet, so I have nothing to compare Us to - but I’m super excited for the Twilight Zone remake now.

Agreed. And it’s good to know as a viewer, that he actually knows what he is doing, and is not just trying some touchy-feely stuff for ratings.

Also for some reason how he said pot luck reminded me of Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek.

Seeing someone trying to play writing cop in a comment section is way more annoying than someone occasionally switching their ‘there’, ‘their’ and ‘they’re’. If you’re not their teacher, employer, or someone they’ve asked to proofread their writing, it’s rude behavior.

If anything, the character development they have given him has been to the detriment of the character.

I hope Toni and Cheryl never fight again. For one thing Cheryl is so scary when she is mad, I don’t want that directed at Toni, though thankfully she is tough enough to stand up to her. 

I was inspired by her campaign as were many she won the goddamn popular vote. She shouldn't run again because it will just be a repeat and she has sense. No need to shit on her work. 

Would not surprise me if that was deliberate. Unless she grew up bilingual with equal facility with English and Spanish, the prosecution did that to make her sound even less intelligent and more “hysterical”.

My experience of the “Black women will save us” narrative is that it is mostly driven by…black women and other women of color.

Yeah; step up or shut up, ass.

Yeah, there was way to much time spent on that annoying couple and too little organising.

IDK where you live, but in Michigan, $79k is a respectable wage. It’s certainly enough to purchase a $150K house (which would be a pretty nice house around these parts), lease a couple of new vehicles or purchase something a few years old, and still have plenty of money left for bills and savings. You make it sound…

I bet your feet smell.
