I think it’s great casting. Zelda is such an interesting historical figure. I hope that this is really her story, despite the inevitable part F. Scott will have to play in the movie since he was an enormous part of her life. She was supposedly a magnetic person, though, as well as talented and somewhat manic. I think…

I owned the rights to this book for a couple years. This movie was hard-pressed to get made without someone as famous as JL attached to it.

So a tragically glamorous 1920s Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

I KNOW! It’s almost as if they don’t know what the words CONTRAband or CONTRAry or CONTRAdict. Ugh! Almost every English teacher I know teaches Greek and Latin root words. Using root words are basic reading strategies we teach kids. I am almost 100% sure these kids went to expensive private schools. I teach in a…

They weren’t really raised in NYC. The three eldest lived a very sheltered life in Manhattan until the divorce in 1991ish (Eric would have been about 7), then in Connecticut and Palm Beach with Ivana, and were shipped off to boarding school in PA the moment they hit 9th grade if not earlier, then college. 99% sure not…

Or they thought “oh, like the Contras, as in the right-wing anti-Sandinista groups who the US secretly funded during the Reagan era despite being forbidden to do so by Congress! Let’s get her front and center! Does anyone have Oliver North’s number handy?”

You’d think people would know based soley on Iran-Contra.

Right?

Even if you don’t know Spanish, contra is used as a prefix in English. It still means “against” or “opposite of.”

I absolutely hate this concept of partners calling each other ‘king’ and ‘queen’ because it only continues the long list of patriarchal bullshit that women should always support their men no matter what while the man gets to make all of the decisions. This is clearly oversharing, this is clearly a violation of her…

“The key is that I’m the king and every queen should support the king.”= Automatic grounds for divorce.

Because being in the sex industry does not automatically apply consent. She’s not an escort or a prostitute. If he wants to watch her have sex he can buy her movies.

Anyone, sex workers included, has the right to say no, whenever they want, including when they’re on the clock. Sex worker =/= sex slave. Also, what’s your profession? Can I come over and bug you for goods or services while you’re not at work? Can I do so repeatedly after you’ve told me to bugger off? No? Oh, well, I…

Special forces operatives kill people for a living; doesn’t mean they’ll take kindly to being offered a hit contract. Circumstances matter.

All I have to add is this. What is it with prominent rich people and 10,000 dollars. Is this what they figure is the “make it interesting number” to normal people? Give me like Median Household income for a US family for a year and then we’ll have the conversation. On the subject of cheeto voldemort, its probably way…

That face! He looks like he genuinely cannot believe his good luck. “Did you see this?! That is 15 cents! Just laying there on the ground! Today is a good day.”
