But, what would you consider “Best Picture” quality? Because a LOT of movies have won that have universally been considered undeserving (case in point: Crash).

I came here for this exact comment. What a perfect movie.

Agreed. We’re letting the perpetrator decide whether abuse or rape happened, instead of the victim. We should really all collectively take a moment and think about how SERIOUSLY fucked up that is.

I feel you. Mine was years of regular (at times almost daily) abuse as a child, finally stopping when I was four years old.

Does anyone miss the days before Guardians of the Galaxy when he was kind of pudgy-cute Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation? How did Amy Poehler fail him so miserably? How did he fail Amy Poehler and her awesomeness so miserably?

It was, but definitely not minimalist. I saw the tour, and it was very much a slightly modernized version of the traditional play, choreography in tact.

My four year old at that moment just said “WHOA. She shouldn’t have done that.”

It never ceases to surprise me how thick-headed some people are. Plus, the fact that there were no words spoken at all actually made it much easier to follow.

What is wrong with people? I thought the message was really clear. A mother’s love, the suffocation a child can feel from it, and the guilt a mother feels from causing her child to feel suffocated.

I am somewhat torn about the Koko news. While it’s sad and I know she was a huge inspiration to a lot of people, I also know first-hand the questionable treatment and life that she lived, very secluded and very caged.

But why? Why should she have to limit herself because this company did not make their site accessible? The onus cannot be on the person with disabilities, but rather on the large multi-million dollar company to make their site accessible.

It felt the most, I think, like a true documentary.

I completely understand her point of why the joke was possibly started. My point was more about the fact that I don’t believe that’s why it’s gained traction; that rather than being about the ridiculousness of the “celebrity conspiracy” it’s morphed into a joke about illiteracy. That despite whatever the initial…

But, I don’t think that’s why this is gaining any kind of traction. People are picking up on this because of the idea that Lea Michele is illiterate. Which again begs the question: why would someone find that funny?

R. Kelly has stated publicly that he is illiterate. Tom Cruise has called himself a “functional illiterate” due to nearly debilitating dyslexia.

But again, the question is why is it a joke? Because she’s a successful woman? Okay, then the joke is illiterate people couldn’t possibly be successful. It’s just a lazy, mean-spirited, and wholly unnecessary joke. And really, it’s not necessarily absurd or outlandish because this is a real issue that real people…

But, why is funny? It’s funny because she’s clearly not illiterate, but it’s hilarious to think she’s illiterate because . . . illiteracy is funny?

Meh. There’s a lot more to a successful song than just competently hitting every note. She’s always registered as fairly atonal and flat emotionally to me.

Can we just STOP with all these mediocre, middle-of-the-road pop stars writing stage musicals? It’s fucking depressing. I get they want more people coming to see the shows, but this is not the way. The biggest musicals in recent history, “Hamilton,” “Wicked,” “Book of Mormon,” “Rent.” All written by musical theatre…

Well, to be fair, who wouldn’t been genuinely delighted at meeting Michelle Obama?
