Read through the bios of all of the women of color who have been astronauts. Almost to a person they site Nichelle Nichols’ Lt Uhuru as the inspiration that got them into science. Representation in media is incredibly important for the self image of children and their ability to project their future selves. You want…

The speech is the best part! Gets me every time.

Nope, can’t agree. The entire point of a rom com is that it’s got a happy ending with nice people finding love. These two people were cranky, picky, mansplaining,neurotic poutypantses who helped make each other better! That’s a GOOD thing! They didn’t lose all their quirks, they found the person who made those quirks…

Is it some kind of a new millenial trend that people want to change something into something else, even though what they want already exists somewhere else? It’s as if you’d want starbucks to sell shoes. Nevermind that there already are stores that sell shoes, have a better selection and quality of shoes than…

agreed. I can genuinely believe they would stay together because  they’ve annoyed and endeared themselves to each other pre romance. Besides, complaining about rom coms having happy endings is like wondering why action movies have to have all that action in them.

All Rom/coms? There are some delightful ones: Bringing up Baby, My Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story, Clueless, My Man Godfrey, Bull Durham, The Lady Eve, It Happened One Night. Harold and Maude and Roman Holiday are great ones that don’t fit the formula.

Yeah, take a movie from 30 years ago—different time, style and sensibility—and let’s flip it around and turn it into some dreary downer because someone is feeling too proud to partake of the Pecan Pieeeeeee. Get out. Depart. Go pick on a Michael Bay film or something.

In my (admittedly jaded and bitter) head, this ending was perfect. And the reason I now look for different endings in rom-coms is partially because I am satisfied by this love story (and a few others) and don’t need to see it hashed out & watered down over and over by less interesting characters, writers, actors,…

Normally I’d agree but I think the ending is perfect. One of the few romantic speeches I actually find romantic. And having them be the final couple in those vignettes made perfect sense.

She said the “art” suffered.  What does bankability have to do with artistic quality?  

Her acting is soooo uneven, and I think it depends on who she’s in a scene with. When she’s decent, it’s either because the other person is so bad, she looks good; or the other person is so good that they can carry the scene for her.  Most of the time, she seems like she’s reading off of cue cards.  

Voice acting is truly a special skill, and is so underrated. 

It’s fine and she sounds great, but I don’t really see the point of writing a whole new song when Nala’s gorgeous ballad “Shadowland” from the Broadway production exists and would fit Beyonce’s voice like a glove. They did the same thing with Beauty and the Beast - replacing fantastic songs added for the Broadway show…

And nasal. Even in that snippet of song you can tell her voice is more nasally than Judy’s ever was. I love Renee, but I know Judy’s voice like my own mother’s, and that is not Judy!

Nope, absolutely not, no way am I falling for a cult.

Other actresses get more headline attention, but this show really serves as a reminder of how amazing she is.  There is no one note to a Dern performance.

I love how people feel it is OK to engage in revisionist Manson history. I grew up 2 miles from Spahn Ranch in the 70s. My mother was friends with Gary Hinman’s mother. The “creepy crawlies” occurred on my block. I later worked with a LaBianca family member as a teen. Real people were murdered.

If you’re interested in the Manson case, I highly highly recommend Karina Longworth’s You Must Remember This podcast. She gives 12 episodes devoted to background on Manson and the Manson family, but also tells the stories of his victims and delves into his connections to the broader rock & roll and hollywood scene.…
