I saw it after the fact, and while I can’t say I liked the movie, I can say I was disappointed it wasn’t nearly as bad as its reputation made it out to be.

The movie is kind of a mess and doesn’t work except as an allegory, but it was absolutely a unique movie.

...one person in particular took issue with the presentation of the environmentalism theme, texting the filmmaker and pledging they were going consume coal and do as much destruction as possible against the planet to spite him.

I liked Mother! It was weird, wild, ambitious, pretentious, and, ultimately, only semi-successful. But that’s art for you. Sometimes you gotta swing for the fences and I wish more filmmakers were willing, or able, to take those kinds of risks. And the fact that people have such passionate responses to it, even years…

Not a solid A, but emotionally it was a perfect ending. Not going to spoil anything, other than to say I wouldn’t mind watching “More Bones” for a season or two after this.

I didn’t much enjoy season 05, but this one felt perfect.

Wearing “big girl panties” doesn’t keep you from getting paralyzed or killed if you’re mentally not up to doing super-elite gymnastics that literally NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD CAN DO BUT YOU. She didn’t retire at the Olympic Trials because she didn’t feel this way then. The Olympics are massive, worldwide attention.…

She’s a strong independent acid snake in the skin-suit of a strong independent woman.

Yeah - selfless the characters aren’t, but they do care about each other and generally want to help with what the others are doing.

I laughed hysterically through the entire Celtic Woman sketch. 10/10, it was hilarious.

::grabs my lighter::

So, I’ve seen Taylor-Joy in 1-2 things, but holy shit was she great here. Got into a bunch of different characters well, did like 4-5 different accents well, was delightful, etc. I’m looking forward to a lot more of her with her talent in the next few years (and still need to watch The New Mutants). I know I’ve read…

No Sweet Home Alabama though.

I have a co-worker who’s in a “celtic band*” as literally that chick. She comes up on stage randomly twirling and playing a fiddle and looks like a brunette Chloe Fineman. So I laughed, laughed, laughed.
* A smattering of traditional Irish songs and a bunch of “vaguely celtic” originals about castles and Guinness. No…

Cecily Strong’s “My Way” absolutely felt like an exit moment.

Prediction:

As someone who watched a lot of PBS a decade ago, the Celtic Woman sketch got the biggest laugh out of me. Most of the sketch was just “this is different, and isn’t that weird”, but they got me with the line “...and who could forget this chick?” when Chloe comes out as Máiréad Nesbitt (I had to google her name). If…

No Pushing Daisies?

Thanks for the revisit. I also watched the first 2 then drifted away, but had heard it got more intriguing so binged the rest of the season this week. From a seemingly lightweight bit of fluff, all 3 timelines drew me in. The cast were uniformly excellent- Ginnifer Godwin’s tragic tale that just made me want to shoot…

There’s nothing feminist about revenge. It’s just revenge.
