Child, please. You aren’t privy to any special info. Stop these lies. Her dad was selling her out to tabloids ore-wedding, then ghosted her days before the event. Her sister wrote a whole book about resenting her as a baby and they aren’t close at all. Sis also has no relationship with the kids she abandoned. Her…

Why am I the first comment?? Anyway, props to Lorde for nope-ing out of a potential “creative differences” situation.

The hideous, racist treatment by UK tabloids (coordinating w the rest of the Royals) probably didn’t help.

Over on Reddit they’ve been pointing out other moments from Nate in season 1 that hint at underlying aggression. Here’s a few I can remember:

Someone: “It’s a coming-of-age novel about...”

“Wunderkind” is literally German for “wonder kid”! (Well, more like “wonder child,” but the meaning’s practically the same.) I don’t know why Nate saying one instead of the other is any deal at all, or why the reporter even bothered to correct him.

While Alamo usually bans talking during screenings…

My wife and I have this weird relationship with Love Actually where we either hate that we love it or love that we hate it, I never know which. So we hate-watch it, but very nostalgically and affectionately...while ritually pointing out and mocking everything wrong about that stupid movie.

I haven’t seen Love, Actually since it first came out, and have never given the movie a second thought, so I didn’t even clock the reference, but that scene with Phoebe and her bully really got to me. He felt bad.. she forgave him.. *sniff*

The obvious plot device of Rebecca showing up right as Ted was watching Clarence jump into the river to save George Bailey from his suicidal ideation was so on the nose, and yet so perfect.
