It was a morality play about the banking industry because of the heavy-handed symbolism of every fucking billboard in the movie with a “We buy debt” message, and the fact that the entire heist was meant to get back at the bank who was about to take over the family ranch through fancy financial footwork.

The Love Witch was my favorite movie of the year. Seeing it was a genuinely strange experience. Other than that, I think this might have been kind of a bad year for movies. Of the 4 Best Picture nominees I’ve seen, La La Land was my favorite, but Emma Stone was only okay in it. As much as people shit on her, Anne…

This news has been floating around since 2015. (I mean, really since 1990, but it was definitely in the news during the primary.) Just like almost every other disgusting thing about Trump, we knew it before he was elected, but people just went, “Oh, that silly Trump,” and ignored it.

“ She’s not the same kind of con man Bernie “forest sprite” Sanders is?

Yeah, I’m probably just a trash can person on the internet, but she seems like a real asshole.

I grew up in Missouri, and yeah, it is a fucking mess. Meth, poverty, suspicion of outsiders, boredom, obesity- they all reinforce each other. Add to that a very deep conservatism in the most basic sense: “We’ve always done it that way,” being a key philosophy, and in the town where I grew up, a few rich families…

My mouth is hanging open reading that. I’d love it if someone would have briefed Maher with that before his stupid interview.

Wow. I had never actually read anything he’d written before.

I was confused by the trailers, I am even more confused by this write-up, but J.K. Simmons is in it, so now I must see it.

I hate seeing links like this. Not because they are wrong, but because they send me to real estate websites to obsess about the gorgeous homes in my hometown I could purchase if I weren’t living in a coastal city. My husband would likely be miserable in the Midwest, so I really should not spend my lunch hour on…

For liquid lipsticks, there is sometimes a clear glossy topcoat included, and I have found that reapplying that topcoat can refresh the lipstick if it gets a little cracked from hours of wear. This is especially helpful because liquid lipstick is a real pain to reapply.

I don’t know if that’s universal. Cynthia Nixon has thin lips, and she always looks best with bright lipstick.

Silly women, if we don’t underpay you, how can we afford to overpay the men who remind us the most of ourselves?

Pious widows are the only group affected that this asshole will pretend to care about, and guaranteed, his response to that example would be, “Well, there aren’t that many,” and, “God will provide/has a plan.”

“You have your whole life to go to shitty clubs and take unflattering pictures. Believe me, the time will come.”

In the wake of the Grammys, I’m curious about something. I make it a point to see all of the Best Picture nominees every year, and as many other nominated movies as possible. Movies are expensive, and I hate Marvel movies, so there is not a consistent way for me to figure out which movies are worth checking out…

I agree that that hair is everywhere, but disagree about “This is the kind of hair that does not occur in nature.” Yes it does. That is how it comes out of my head, and I have to work get more body at the roots, because I do not want it “straight-up-top” portion of it.

Why does this man continue to find work? Because people will forgive men anything, and women nothing.

‘It’s the “Sincerely, Karlie” that throws me —like the sign-off on a cover letter you didn’t want to write but knew you had to.’

I’ve definitely found that among men I have dated, men raised in religious homes and men raised in non-religious homes were all just as eager to have premarital sex, but men raised in religious homes always asked to go without condoms, while other men took it for granted that condoms would be used.
