I’m with you on Grease but Ariel’s whole deal is wanting to live in the human world (she sings an impassioned song about it in front of her giant collection of human stuff). Falling in love with Eric is incidental. She changes herself to achieve her own stated goal.

The irony of this take is that it depends on wilfully ignoring everything Ariel explicitly tells us about her own goals and motivations in Part Of Your World.

Never look directly at it.

It’s super depressing. I’ve been coming here daily for like 20 years and this site used to be sooooo good. It felt like a genuinely quirky and intelligent labour of love, and now it’s like 90% clickbait through a bad faith, hyper-judgemental, snark filter. I guess it’s a reflection of the times but there must surely…

Heigl was right (and I’m sure Ortega is as well) but the price of being critical of your employers in public is that it alienates both them and future employers. It’s kinda the same in every industry. Discretion, valour etc...

As a massive fan of the properties in, and mechanics of, these games but also as a person who needs a coherent story to pull them through to the end, the KH franchise is incredibly frustrating. KH1 is in my top 3 all time but I can’t get through KH2 or 3 because, narratively, they are nothing short of nonsense. And…

If it results in Pearl then it can’t be bad.

I love Matt Berry but, if his entire output is anything to go by, he definitely would do that voice.

This is nonsense. Almost every production casts diversely, and the diverse cast of TLJ has hardly protected it from criticism.

I was going to disagree, then I realised that I don’t and that’s OK. No one is amazing forever (including standups who think their comedy is less well received now because of "snowflakes".) Possibly Scorsese.

Can you point to an example of him telling that story other than the recorded Audience With one?

I’m sorry, I agree with your general point but you don’t have your facts straight here. His accusers didn’t contribute to the article, and one of them said it was inaccurate. So who were we supposed to believe?

If you’re going to do that, though, you should properly read up. Not only has Jen Kirkman never openly accused Louis CK of anything, she has never suggested that anyone has masturbated in front of her. That is a different unsourced rumour that has nothing to do with Jen Kirkman.

IIRC, she only ever said that she thought they were buds but then he let her down by hitting on her. I don’t think there was any suggestion of anything more than that (in that particular case anyway.)
