Ooh, thanks for the recommendation.

Harsh, but true.

can we talk about this instead?

In fact, Imperioli could just play himself staying at a White Lotus resort!

Damn I wish I was that clever.  But thank you very much. 

He is completely right.  I'm surprised this doesn't get called out more often because its not subtle.  Combine that with how the elves are basically enslaved but are HAPPY ABOUT IT and you start to realize JK Rowling had some not small problems long before she started TERFing like there's no tomorrow. 

Jasmin is one of the first things I noticed about this show, because of her intense performance on The Leftovers. I just knew this show would be good because Jasmin is in it.

I can answer one of your questions: they are doing some fishing, and you can see nets and traps for fish set up, that Travis is checking when he chats with Jackie.

I once explored an abandoned mall near Chicago and it had vegetation in areas where the ceiling had caved, including ferns and a fairly tall tree. It had been abandoned 30ish years. No vegetation in areas without sunlight, though.

Kinja is the 2021 version of locusts.

This filmed in 2019 and she would’ve been about 25 at the time. 

One of my closest friends died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage. Sure, this could have been a suicide or an overdose, but why don’t you let them do an autopsy before you notarize it?

Heck, Christmas Vacation is about a man desperately struggling to achieve the “perfect” Christmas in the face of both family tensions / hostility, the over-inflated expectations of the season and a capitalist system which takes his labours for granted and begrudges rewarding him with even a pittance for his efforts eve…

I agree she’s a strong flavor, and not to everyone’s liking (nothing to do with maturity)...

The things Didion found tacky and the things she found critically important will always baffle me, because Jesus was she stuck in her “teenager of the 1950s” ways, but goddam if her actual writing wasn’t immaculate.

I hope she and bell hooks are somewhere right now, eyeing each other cautiously.
