Not entirely. Kids that age like doing transgressive things, and are (as we all are) surrounded every day with imagery advertising what “grown-ups” do while being told it’s taboo. And having once been A Children, I can assure you that 13-year-olds sure as shit know about the sex (at least in rough outlines on the…

While I’m not condoning bullying, it at least provides me with some comfort that the kids are anti trump. 

Abortions for some.  Build the wall cookies for others.

Look, when it comes to Scouts I have a very simple policy. Either sell me cookies or fuck off with your camping bullshit. 

I hope Parker Posey slaps the shit out of this Posie Parker asshole. 

I love how much Schultz has brought up “the projects” when complaining about how higher taxes/wealth taxes aren’t the answer. Dude, the projects were/are a form of subsidized housing where TAXES lead to him getting a hand up.

Let me alleviate your fears and say that no one their right mind goes through two trimesters of pregnancy and then is like “actually I don’t want a kid.” Every single abortion that happens in the third trimester is out of medical necessity. Every single one. And no state in the US allows for late term abortions if…

This wins everything, but let’s not forget when he tries to lock Carrie in his car on Sex and The City:

Will patrons be required to take off their shirt when visiting the restroom?

There are also now “public charter schools” i.e. the charter school owner is the public school district. The first one was in downtown Oklahoma City created by the district in order to have unconventional attendance boundaries so that downtown workers from the suburbs could have their kids in school downtown.

Oh lord. That “Be Our Guest” is so lifeless. Not to mention you can’t see half of what’s going on because it’s so damn dark.

We are in a very bad era for musical theatre songwriting. Even when a musical succeeds on the stage now, the score is not necessarily its strongest element. “Another Day of Sun” in my opinion lacks nothing in its staging, and that is generally true of all the numbers in La La Land, but nothing is owing to the film’s…

I thought the “That’s How You Know” sequence from Enchanted actually captured the feeling of falling in love. It’s wonderfully staged and shot. Did I miss a mention of this delightful movie somewhere in the analysis?

They’re musical numbers as acts of meta fandom, gesturing toward youthful optimism without actually embodying it.

I do wish critics would give that movie more credit, even in an article about the state of movie musicals. As an overall piece of cinema or even in a narrative sense, it is a mess. I will cosign that. But there are at least three set pieces that I would put up there against any other musical filmed (Rewrite the…

Any director and editor who want to cut together a great musical number need to watch Cabaret, take notes, and not be under the delusion that they can improve on that.

I see you, Alferd Packer.

I just assume that it would be the same as Too Many Cooks.
