This looks cute, but damn, I wish someone would do an adaptation of this that was as dark and misanthropic as the book. It was the first thing I read as a child that had as dim a view of most of humanity as I did. Kids can handle it. 

It should be noted that there has been a run on white Van slip-ons because so many people are going as Squid Game contestants. 

But… but… they’re PINK!

Best wishes and I hope the price stays stable for you. This is why we need rent control everywhere. 

I took it more like one oppressed group shouldn’t be punching down on another oppressed group. He had made a point that when a white LGBTQ person was upset about something a Black person said, their Whiteness took precedence over their LGBTQ-ness.

The onus should really be on the casting and directors. An actor isn’t realistically going to turn down work (although it’d be cool if more of them would call attention to the discrepancy in appearance, in interviews after the film has been released). Change needs to come from the inside, and actors are probably the…

Hollywood rarely casts Jewish women to play Jewish characters. I guess they find us sexually unattractive. The ultimate Hollywood trophy wife is a thin, blonde shiksa who has converted.

There is a well-known street goat in Los Angeles named Tom Brady. I like him a lot more than the human one.

But this type of thing has been popular with stylish Burners for close to a decade. 

He was in Legion, the recent remake of The Stand, and Lola Versus. I also saw him in the Amazon Prime series Tell Me Your Secrets, which was so-so but he was fantastic, as was his real-life wife, Lily Rabe. He plays a paroled predator who is seeking redemption and is hired by the mother of a presumed murdered girl, to…

The monk is Derek Jacobi and the woman is Lesley Ann Downe (sp?), and it looks like it’s from a 1982 TV version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

That may be, but she was fantastic in the minute-long scene in Go that Coolidge was actually responsible for her getting, where she plays the ditzy roommate of a guy who has been fucking both halves of a couple, unbeknownst to each other, and when they figure it out, they show up at his apartment unannounced, and she…

I’m basically hanging onto it until they show the Velvet Underground doc, and then I’ll ditch it. I’ve never seen so much nothing. 

I do! But I only do it once every couple of months- I’m not much of a cook. I bake something else maybe four times a year. Otherwise, I use the stovetop, microwave or toaster oven. Mainly, I cut stuff up and put it in a bowl.

I just bought an airfryer and hadn’t heard of doing this- how long and at what temperature? Thanks for the heads up!

Once you get past the classics everyone is listing, I like Play Misty for Me (the prototype for the Crazy Spurned Woman movie), The Beguiled , and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Eastwood often selects roles where his character is kind of shifty, or messed-up, or a straight-up louse, and I find that refreshing when most…

I would love to read more about the terrible diet food culture on display in this. Nobody is on Slim Fast?

Thanks for beating me to the punch. I have yet to see Matatas mention Savage and his readers for coming up with “pegging”, although he excitedly posted a photo of Delevigne’s outfit, and quickly edited it to give Matatas proper credit as soon as he heard the whole story, which was the proper thing to do. 

Beanie looks like she’s lost some weight to play Lewinsky, they didn’t “make” her fat, she just is what she is! Monica was pretty zaftig back then. It’s unusual for a film production to not make a real-life character “Hollywood-fat”, meaning fifteen pounds over very slim. Don’t get hung up on it. If Lewinsky is happy…

Nah, if you REALLY want to get into how this country became such a shitshow, it goes back to the assassination of Robert Kennedy, who likely would have become President and sent us on a different path.
