As I said elsewhere, this is the most unbelievable part of the story: No one gave him up. That has to be the most trustworthy inner circle in the history of Hollywood.

In an unrelated story, Disney executives have informed all talent currently under contact with the company that they will be receiving a “Courtesy” house call from a physician in the next week for a “Minimally-invasive” physical and a “light battery” of blood work.

People are pointing out that Finn got character development in The Last Jedi, and they’re not entirely wrong to, but... to be honest, if I was cast as one of the main characters, my first thought wouldn’t be “Oh boy! I hope in one movie I have a really long subplot that takes place in a casino for some reason and doesn…

And then, DISCORD, just like your husband, go and do whatever and whoever you want. You don’t need his permission to seek attention elsewhere.

I know TLJ became this crazy flashpoint besieged by desperately defensive love and deranged hate, but I think it’s pretty fair for Boyega to not dig his arc in that movie, and it’s not hard to guess why, given how often these complaints have come up for three years. If anyone is entitled to not dig it it’s him.

He’s not wrong — the character of Finn has no arc. Just the idea of a defecting Stormtrooper was cool and unique, but then they do nothing with it. It’s a problem with all three movies, and Finn becomes less relevant to the plot in each movie. Even in TFA, he’s more of a red herring that was shown wielding a…

It almost certain that the LW’s correspondent was either the husband, or someone he enlisted to entrap her. That whole bit was too quick and convenient for it not to be.

Hard disagree on letter #1. The husband is controlling, and quite possibly still abusive or borderline abusive, even if he’s not choking the LW (It’s hard to tell without more information.). I’m guessing that a guy like that will find out if the LW sexts with/ meets/ has an affair with another man (The incident with…

Because, by and large, college students just aren’t that bright. I saw some being interviewed on TV yesterday and they were all saying ‘Yeah I’m gonna go to parties and not wear a mask, I’m young and a virus can’t hurt me!’

Gaston is my favorite Disney song of all time, and probably in my top five from any musical. You can feel the absolute joy in every note, every word, every frame of animation. I hope everyone involved knew they had something special on their hands. 

Here’s a great video by Lindsay Ellis about how Disney screwed with Robin Williams:

You missed out on calling this edition “Savage Toebody."

Dear Nobody,

Sometimes I wish he’d talk to the occasional female doctor or counselor. The 37-year-old is probably experiencing a very normal lessening of her libido that comes with age and just needs to reassured.

My read on letter #2 is that the LW is putting way too much pressure on herself to be “normal” again, and that pressure is probably helping squash her libido. The urge to return to normal after an unpleasant event is perfectly understandable. For many people, that return suggests that the problem is fixed, that you’re…

Here’s how to be an ally from a POC, stop making “homage” to recipes from recipes outside your ethnic background, they are just bastardizations of it and miseducate what that region’s cuisine actually is. Just research and post recipes from people that have actual experience in those cuisines than white voices…

There’s so many great character moments for Steve in that movie. “I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t like bullies, I don’t care where they’re from.” And of course “I can do this all day.” The grenade jump, the flagpole, etc.

In the commentary, Docter talks about how he made sure there was no huge life-changing event that prevented them from ever taking the trip, and it was simply that “life got in the way” as it does for so many people. So we can identify with them even more.

FilmCriticHulk had a wonderful essay where he diagnosed the biggest problem with Hollywood screenplays today, as the fact that they assume empathy on the part of the audience. The assumption is that the screenwriters don’t need to give the audience a reason to care about the protagonist, because hey, if they didn’t…

Thanks! It’s kinda funny, by splitting up all these seasons it seems like Netflix is basically admiting that their “wait until the whole season is done” model doesn’t actually work for the people actually producing the shows.
