I had this horrid realisation recently that, to teens today, Nirvana are in the same category as Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles were to me and my friends as teenagers. Deceased geniuses from long ago that they 'discover' in the back of their parents' music collections.

Interesting. I (am unpopular, even on the internet, and) have a hard time with this movie because I don't find it as easy to separate the individual actions in the film from the overall message, which people tell me is anti-bullying/anti-clique (I've watched the whole film, but only in parts because I'll admit that I…

Well, the book that it's based on is still highly relevant and still has a lot of smart things to say about teenage bullying, cliques and power hierarchies. The later revision where Rosalind Wiseman re-tooled the whole thing to address how social media and social networking have impacted on "Girl World" was so…

Heathers will always be fave over Mean Girls. My nephew, 14 years old, saw it for the first time recently and he loved. I think he liked it because it's dark with crude humor and the Christian Slater character seemed cool to him.

Thems fightin words.

That is blasphemy.

I just realized that mean girls is to these kids what breakfast club or 16 candles was to kids my age, which means I AM OLD.

Confession: I never really got mean girls. Like it was ok, but that's it.

If people are allowed to tell rape victims that they should simply not watch shows like GoT in order to avoid being triggered, then I'm allowed to tell you to not surf the internet if you're worried about being spoiled. Fair's fair.

You see this is why non-professional designer noobs such as yourself who like to call photoshop on everything, are full of shit and don't know a damn thing.

I have a theory about him and it is that he likes the fact that he is creepy and people hate him. I think he gets off on humiliation and feeling like a big human dirtball. So now even me typing this is feeding into his whole disgusting shame/sex cycle but I don't know what else can be done other than to keep calling…

Stepping aside from this whole debate - I just finished a great bio on Judy Garland, and I am blown away by Liza. She went through so much in trying to care for her mom when she was a young adult, and even had to go through arranging for Judy's funeral services despite the obstacles of Judy having no money in her…

As a side point, it's strange to me that people think Jessica Lange hasn't had any work done. The main point: what you are saying on the last paragraph - I hate bringing the hyperbole, but...isn't that kind of like shaming someone who is skeletal in the name of preventing another girl from becoming anorexic? Is there…

Great post. Why is "aging gracefully", i.e. without surgery (or with, but not so you can tell! god forbid), the only acceptable option, per the internet police? People can do whatever the hell they want, why does everyone care so fucking much?

Why is aging gracefully only about the way they look? These accomplished, talented women, who have earned our respect... it should not be about the way they look at all!!!

Agreed. And by the same token, why does 'aging gracefully' have to be about the way you look? These are accomplished, successful women. They can look, dress and act the way they want to. I hate that we live in culture where Kim Novak had to feel compelled to write this letter at all.

Jane has had a facelift, Jessica has had a facelift. We don't really know what they would look like at this age naturally and neither do they.

So in other words be so lucky to have the genes that allow you to age gracefully.

I really enjoyed this Slate piece on the treatment that both Kim Novak and Liza got at the Oscars. The part that got me was the use of the "she should grow old GRACEFULLY like so-and-so" regarding Novak, as I saw that a lot on my Facebook feed during the Oscars. When people say that, they are typically referring to…
