Your number 3 made me remember how much I blubbered through Stepmom - it hit too close to home.

I cried through most of that movie (like proper ugly crying at the cinema!) - he was so depressed and unable to see how loved he was. Just heartbreaking!

Pretty Woman - when Edward says goodbye to Vivian, The Last Unicorn - once it’s clear there will be no happy ending, Stardust - when Yvaine thinks she’s been abandoned, Beauty and the Beast - when the villagers attack, most of Watership Down...

Aren’t you a charming paragon of virtue!

We can only tell our complete truths in an environment of psychological safety. I take your points and perhaps I was too quick to react based on my personal experiences - which is  a trap we are all at risk of. Thank you for putting it across so well, unlike some of the others.

Hubris...it will destroy us all. What gives her the authority to tell people how to be allies? Is she trained in victim support? I believe in justice and consequences, but not the mob justice doled out on social media. Allegations need to be properly investigated and dealt with, there should be accountability and…

An arrogant medic wrapped up in their own self importance...hope the patient’s ok!

What a fucking uninformed idiot. Always amazed by how much she gets away with peddling that goop crap. Bet she’ll start selling her special brand of kombucha and kimchi now! And if the infra - red sauna turns your skin into a leather handbag - no doubt her snake oil will come to the rescue.

Really enjoyed this article. Thank you. I love a lot of his work - I think it goes to show that you can build characters and weave an intricate and powerful story - even if you as a person don’t necessarily believe in them. I think that is the strength of the storyteller - but it is no excuse not to be a decent human…

Battling systemic vasculitis post - COVID! Rewatching Merlin & Greek- remembering happier, simpler times.

Is it adultery if they are only engaged?

The first two were such heart warming movies. So much charm and innocence.

Donkey from Shrek in a new movie - Donkey Terminator

I hate watched it..’ahem’. It wasn’t terrible. But most of the characters were just a little too pretty and perfect, even when attacked!

I will always love the character of Angel in Buffyverse. Glad that David B turned out to be a pretty cool dude. Not commenting on the public domain doesn’t mean you don’t stand for anything. Not everyone uses social media platforms in the same way.

Captain von Trapp is gorgeous...sigh. All good things come to an end. RIP...

Wicked is perfection - I may be biased because I saw it with my favourite ex! Real shame they waited this long to make it. Hoping they’ll use relative unknowns than some of the popular names. And please God, do not have James Corden in the cast.

The movies never quite captured the emotional depth of Gatsby’s love and loss...his dreams slipping through his fingers. Love is an act of courage, and sadly there are plenty of cowards in the world.

Sad but true...oh but if only one could...

Diehard GG fan here...oh for simpler days again! Dean kissed you and you said thank you?
