wishing Meghan somehow had it worse is weird ass behaviour.

I mean she was receiving death threats at the highest while she was pregnant. She’s touching on something a lot deeper there about those threats being connected to her bringing a mixed race child into a colonial family. 

meh this desire that what someone is experiencing isn’t bad enough is a bad take. it does nothing to help that what has been projected on Meghan is that either i) she shouldn’t speak anything about her experiences of racism (especially the extreme vitriol online) OR ii) if she doesn’t acknowledge the ways she’s been…

I feel it was an attempt at a modern Cruel Intentions, silly and pervy and a hit with the 20 somethings who it felt targeted for. Probably won’t have the same staying power as the former, but the buzz was big.

vicarious liability, employers are responsible for employees negligence. if you condone an employees reoccurring negligence, or create a culture to allow this kind of negligence to exist, than both the employee and employer are arguable culpable here.

this was heaps better than Mare of Easttown (despite a very good Winslet, that show struggled).

yeee they also share kids, sure they see each other a lot, and Garner must just be happy he’s showing up sober as a father.

yah something about this season just didn’t click in the same way as season one. 

I think Johnson is plenty talented, she plays a type, but she plays it well.

I think Kamala is one of the better characters in Disney’s MCU, she’s lodged in a weird spot in the timeline tho.

I loved Work in Progress that Lilly co-wrote, character focused with a lot of humour and a lot of beautiful moments too.

you really don’t have your finger on the pulse

I watched the first season and it had some really lovely parts, but it was weighed down by all the childhood plot lines. Sometimes I don’t think we literally need to see someones past to understand how people can become so maladaptive.

it’s not like a fun cameo.

ah man, just went and looked at the wiki plot and this sounds like it would have been fucking incredible (my fingers are dragging sadly across my apple keyboard).

she seems sober and charming in interviews, ain’t gonna knock a girl who has been knocked too hard and too many times in the past.

this is the way audiences like to engage now, at least it’s drawing folks to cinema and the movie entertained for the most part. Look at any random year in cinema and most of the movies are absolute shit or boring.

I agree, it’s a fun and silly and pervy movie. The movie finds a way to remind us that shock value still has value, and can be done in a way that entertains us. The criticisms feel shallow since the movie isn’t trying to go deep.

I don’t think it’s against actors doing that, but in the movie Natalie Portman’s character is so desperate to humanize this pedophile, that she dehumanizes the actual victim and uses him as a tool to gather information for her own gains. I don’t think there’s really any humanity to Moore’s character, except that…

I loved Lohan’s netflix film, she was sort of giving Lucille 2 with all the trips and dips she did (all her own stunts, very Liza Minnelli)
