There’s just too much yelling.

Also Ruth Reichl’s “Swiss Pumpkin” circa the 70s. :) 

“somewhat lackluster 1982 teen romp Fast Times at Ridgemont High,”

It’s not just that’s she’s too young; she has only the most cynical and miserable take on everything. She’s like the food critic who hates all food.

Yeah. I’ve noticed this. Every new blogger sounds like a 15 year old talking to their mother about clothes for awhile to me. Just when I start to get fond of them they go off and do other things... Except Rich. He refuses to write about anything in a tone that could possibly make me fond of him.

It is my belief that the readers of Jez are at least a decade if not two older than the writers and it creates a weird mix of James Charles/Bella Thorne with Ellen DeGeneres/Brad Pitt.

Obviously Ms. Summers is too young to appreciate Fast Times.  It’s a classic for those of us from that era.

Damn. I never knew that song was on Fast Times. It’s not a hill I’d die on, but it’s a very nice hill. Carry on.

PS - This is Joan writing about Fast Times. She doesn’t know what sort of impact Fast Times had at that time, and she isn’t great at reading the room.

Probably one of the last, too.

Kudos to Fast Times for portraying abortion as a normal choice, and in a non-controversial way that didn’t stigmatize the woman.

The pumpkins you’re thinking of, the ones without much flavor, tastes like acorn squash. Because they’re the same species (C. pepo). Heirloom eatin pumpkins are C moschata, same species as butternut squash. And have a hell of a lot more flavor than acorn squash. It’s that classic pumpkin flavor like a pumpkin pie too.

A little respect for the original, please. It was one of the first and only teen movies (or probably movies in general) to feature a pretty matter-of-fact abortion with no guilt or shame.

“He fell and choked on his tissues”

I think a quick glance at the False Equivalence wikipedia page oughta do it.

Yes - exactly and her poor friend Woody Allen, who she continues to believe... Diane is just ditzy and wants to objectify men - Oh! She’s such a crazy, goofy girl! 

confession time (that no one cares about cuz who cares what i think) but i loathe diane keaton. absolutely cannot stand her. i do like some of her movies, but not her.  i don’t like her schtick - its not endearing, its annoying and silly and stupid.

My favorite part of Britney & Kevin: Chaotic was that she gleefully discarded this dumb lie. She proudly proclaimed they be fucking and its really hot pop star-dancer sex, not your boring plebian sex.

How will they make sure the foods are fresh?

You know what’s kind of amusing about this is how many of Trump’s voters probably get SNAP. They will NOT be happy about this kind of broad change that doesn’t just effect Brown People. He is forgetting who his base really is.

We do not deserve Chrissy.
