I hate heels. I am (relatively) tall.

SF is building new apartments everywhere and has been for a while. Oh, and one of the biggest, newest, and most impressive blocks of apartments is sinking and requires half a billion dollars to *possibly* fix the problem. Yeah, there are some NIMBYs but it’s more that, to accommodate a youngish population, SF would…

Exactly. 5-4 decision.

Nothing like men pissing and moaning about how women “hijack” franchises that have been dead for years and weren’t even that good the first time around. The second Ghostbusters movie sucked. That’s why there wasn’t a third movie. There was just a tv show designed to sell toys to kids. Ocean’s 11 was a remake of a…

“rape or incest”

Yep. Here’s the clip. He looks better than most people do in their wedding pictures.

I don’t know about later, but AMC is streaming the first two episodes.

Imagine if we talked about stoner comedies or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas like that. “That’s not healthy! Them living like that is going to drive up MY health insurance rates!”

“I’d like to see the show work toward addressing the competing imagery we live with in the US - the food porn and the soft porn. Peak dissonance was skinny but buxom women eating drippy, giant fast food burgers alongside large trucks.”

These people will comment on the artistic choices of a series that follows meth dealers or animated robots, but if it’s a show about a fat woman who is sick of people being mean to her suddenly they are the Morality and Reality Police.

I’d like to make a request. Although I agree this show is behind the times in terms of progressive feminist thought, this is the only place I’ve found where watchers can talk about the show without being bombarded with comments about how fat acceptance is wrong or bad. So could we have at least small weekly posts so…

I agree. I’m just so relieved to be somewhere, anywhere, I can talk about the show. I don’t think it’s the best, but here at least we can talk about it. Everywhere else I’ve been has either gotten no discussion at all, or is saturated with comments about how fat acceptance is bad. These are places that will discuss…

I think its problems stem from the problems of the book. I can see how Dietland tried to weave the tiny little traumas that come with womanhood with the larger problems in society, but in the end the different threads make the book feel fragmented rather than integrated.

Honestly, this post is more out of touch than anything else I’ve seen one the show. Have you guys seen the discussions about Dietland on other forums? I went to the AV club to discuss this and couldn’t because the AV Club’s comments sections is clogged with comments about how fat acceptance is like alcoholism…

OOps, wrong post. Edited out.

Run, Lillian!

No, sexual frustration is not behind it. Misogyny is behind it. Leaving aside the fact that incel communities express unrelenting hostility to every woman displaying every behavior, I’ve seen multiple articles and twitter threads by sex workers talking about the stalking, threats, and violence they receive from…

I am the Chrissiah.

And two types of girly! Fifties dress with louboutins and martinis kind of girly and “I decorated my sweater with puffballs I found on sale at Michaels” girly.

Considering some of the things Kendrick’s character does in the book, they’ll regret it.
