You can add domestic abuser to that list.

Oh god they were so. Tacky. Probably $200 each, these bright pink, straight-cut satiny things with sparkly shit around the necks. She’s very traditional, so her bridesmaids probably paid for their own dresses. She’s kind of a terrible person in general, so I would not be surprised at all if she made them cough up the…

I think you’re not far off. The only woman I know who did the whole trash-the-dress thing (and her bridesmaids’ dresses, too) did it because “she’d never need a wedding dress again.” But, yeah, it’s so wasteful.

OHMYGOD SPRINKLES WHYYYY

Mr. Morgan knew exactly who he was dealing with in that classroom.

That’s the theory, but a lot of their “humanely sourced” beef is imported from Australia, so it’s not so good at the sustainable part.

YES I am glad to know I’m not the only one who can’t separate Emma Bunton from her role of AbFab.

FrolickingGiant explained it perfectly. Kids are super perceptive and it’s irresponsible to bring a string of people in and out of your child’s life.

Unfortunately, yes. Once you have that kid, they take priority. Your kid will probably know you’re dating someone, but they don’t have to meet and bond with that person until you and this someone are sure that you’re in it for real. It might suck for you because you can’t spend as much time as you want with your new…

Kylie is not Tyga’s “new partner” in this scenario. The issue is that you do not introduce the people you are dating to your children until you know that person is going to be around for the long haul. It does a lot of harm to children, especially very young children, when someone who seems to love and care for them…

Hehehe, my grandmother is very liberal while her husband is very conservative. She lets him rant and rail away but at the end of the day, she voted for Obama twice and is planning to vote for the Democrat in 2016, period. If he weren’t such an idiot, it’d be cute how she just kinda pats him on the head with a “Bless…

Seems accurate. Perfect locale for this kind of film.

I feel like you have a more accurate assessment and your expertise qualify you to set this film. My undergrad was in NY (and I’m from OK) so my experience with a lot of the greater Northeast and with the huge number of tiny liberal arts colleges is just impressions from others.

I’ve never been there—may I ask what makes you put the setting there? I read it for the first time in undergrad and was envisioning the Bennington brochures the whole time, supplemented by a classmate from Vermont who seemed to be a copy of the kinds of locals described. I have never been to Vermont, though.

YES PLZ to boooooooth. Oh good lord I’m imagining the scenes now. I second Wallis or Martin for Denise (to my own first, but hey, we’re spitballing) in that case.

One of the Fannings could be Mary Alice, and her mother could be Marcia Gay Harden?

Rosario Dawson is amazing and I’d like to see what she could do with a character like Babette. Quvenzhané Wallis could carry Denise, too, I think, but she’d (Denise) have to be aged up. But since so many of the children are so young in the novel, it’d probably be a consequence of casting anyhow. A mostly nonverbal two…

OMG Jon Hamm would KILL IT as Siskind. And I agree with you about Jack, and Norton seems like a good fit for a lot of reasons. But what if Babette is a WOC? IIRC, she’s characterized intitially by her bleach blonde hair, but that might bring to the fore a lot of complicated issues that I don’t think would be out of…
