Omg not Nessun Dorma. This is the video that finally got me this morning. Such a beautiful song.
One of my favorite Aretha performances was at Divas Live in 1998 where she just bulldozes through “Natural Woman” making some other enormously talented women look like her back-up singers.
I see valid criticisms above but I’m going to side with you on this because I literally said to my boyfriend the other day that the monologue at the very end where he’s rewatching the kids show he did as Mrs Doubtfure and he’s explaining to the puppet that some families have 1 mommy or 2 and families all look…
I feel the same way - I appreciate that the assholes are tweaked slightly so they don’t fit neatly into the usual boxes and I like that they pull out all the stops on the dark comedy. It did take a few episodes for me to get into it, though.
I love all these takes that are coming out after the show’s first season has ended. Where were all you guys while each ep was broadcast for the first time, or before the binge-watch I did the weekend of the finale?
false, you root for Cousin Greg
I don’t usually love shows where every character is an asshole but I have to say I’m really enjoying Succession. The acting is great, for the most part, the casting is good, and the plot turns on various characters’ evolutions in an interesting way. It’s (mostly) not ha-ha funny, but there are so many great…
counterpoint: it’s SO GOOD AND I WOULD GIVE MY WHOLE LIFE FOR COUSIN GREG
I’ve thought the same (like, I’m in the Midwest, so yeah $15/hr min wage is a living wage here, but would mean jack to someone in San Francisco) - I think that it is not framed that way though because minimum wage is set federally. Not sure how they came to $15 except maybe by averaging out what a living wage would be…
She’s repped by Trevor Nielsen. The “Angelina has no publicist” is BS she put out to try and convince people that she’s above having a strategy. She’s a fox.
Maybe the strategy is to shame her into shutting the fuck up since she’s the one who decided to smear him in the press.
Well, immediately they broke up she surrounded herself with one of the best crisis teams out there. Starting with Laura Wasser whose real genius is her ability to work the media to force a fast settlement. She is famously tight with Harvey Levin, which is how TMZ used to have the big exclusives told from Angelinas…
Angelina was able to accomplish what few celebs could. She totally rebranded and changed her image from wild child and scheming man eater to Earth Mother and globe trotting philanthropist. Her image was airtight and the blogs loved her. The Brangeloonies worshipped her. She probably thought she could do no wrong. Now…
Limited visitation?
According to the visitation papers that were released (tacky), the oldest isn’t listed in the visitation schedule because he’s 16 and courts don’t order kids that age to see their parents in a divorce. They are old enough to “choose”, as it were. He has the choice to spend as much time with either parent as he likes.
Yep. I think her first mistake was running to TMZ with those vague but ominous tellings of an “incident on the plane” two years ago. Either tell the story or don’t; the insinuations just seemed like an attempt to gain an edge in the divorce rather than a sincere need to call out an abuser. If you choose to make vague…
No one forgot about it, it’s just a nonstarter since there was an investigation and they found he apparently didn’t do anything wrong.
That still wouldn’t be a reason to be so public about your mess. In fact, it’s more of a reason to keep it private. Not when their are kids involved. So many kids...
I know divorces bring out the worst in people but damn. You would think two people who so carefully control their public image wouldn’t want to look like petty assholes.
