Also, the slow mambo they do to “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” is FIRE.

Totally. I completely recognize that women can be abusers, but I still find myself shook whenever I hear something like this. It’s almost like it hurts on this deeper, instinctual level.

TOTALLY. They work every muscle equally, and everything is elongated and lean. Gorgeous.

Agree. Totally different styles, and both incredibly creative and influential in their respective styles. 

Are we talking about Strictly Ballroom?!?!?!?!?!?! I WILL LOOK FOR ANY OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS STRICTLY BALLROOM.

Funnily enough, most male dancers will tell you the over the head lifts are the easier ones; the “barely lifting her off the ground while she floats like some ethereal being while I run smoothly” are the most difficult.

He was literally my very first movie crush. I saw An American in Paris when I was five, and remember immediately wanting to marry him (in whatever sense that meant to my 5-year old brain). I was devastated to find out that the movie was 40+ years old, and therefore he was no longer 30-something.

The movie, or the stage version? If you’re saying the movie, I’m gonna have to give you some SERIOUS side eye. ;-)

You’re right, it’s Summer Stock. 

Totally. Fred was more elegant, Kelly more athletic (though he had grace for days). He would often do his own stunts (which were NUMEROUS). He’s a dream, I could watch him dance all day.

“Maxwell and Epstein were likely sexually abused as children. This is a cycle that is difficult to expunge.”

Agreed. I mean, growing up, I was always told that if something happened to me (separated from my mom, lost) to find a WOMAN to help me. Why? Because as a culture we assume that women are safe spaces; they’re naturally nurturing, and would protect a vulnerable child if faced with the opportunity. Which is what makes…

I am so sorry for your loss. That’s horrific and terrible and not okay.

So...something that’s been at the bottom of the sea for 107 years is deteriorating?

There’s this great little moment in 30 Rock where Jane Krakowski as Jenna is doing a Fox News sketch and starts it with “Welcome to Fox News, I’m blonde.” Hilarious and true.

Thank you. It’s less about which actor is naturally a dead ringer physically for someone, and who is close enough but will be able to embody them/portray them best. Elizabeth Banks is great, but Charlize is SOOOO fantastic at inhabiting her characters that she was without a doubt the better call to make.

I think that’s actually a decent comparison. 

I have such a deep, loving nostalgia for The Babysitters Club. I read every book growing up, watched the show when it was released on VHS and saw the movie in the theatre. The diversity, the full-fleshed out girls, and their very humanness was so beautiful and so inspiring as a kid. I was bookish, far preferred to sit…

It was meant to be a memory of him getting kicked off set. 

To be fair, I don’t know that Faye Dunaway was ever “once-beloved.” Respected? Sure. But tales of her shitty, unprofessional behavior go all the way back to her pre-Bonnie and Clyde days. She’s developed a reputation of being incredibly abusive to crew and co-stars on a number of projects.
