For all intensive purposes, cow downing is all the rage in rural areas.

THANK YOU!! I found this a really interesting and thought provoking piece. it hasn’t taken away my enjoyment of the film at all. But I am apparently capable of experiencing more than one feeling at any one time..
I love it more because it is flawed.
Fine, but this is still a stretch:
Exactly. I was taken aback by how many people here seem incapable of reading a critique without understanding that A. Nobody’s saying you should or shouldn’t enjoy it and B. It’s ok to like problematic things, especially if you can acknowledge their issues.
Look, without making myself completely doxxable, I will say that this falls under my wheelhouse of expertise and as far as I can tell, the truth of the matter is that this was a truly impossible situation for Comey. “Sources and methods” may be a vague concept for most people, but the reality is that years of work and…
A lot of publications now just straight up call Merkel the ‘Leader of the Free World’ and move right along.... http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/angela-merkel-donald-trump-democracy-freedom-of-press-a7556986.html
Yeah, of all the shit Trump does that is absolutely horrible, this absurd fucking handshake (that he thinks shows dominance but really shows his learning began and ended with him reading a book about “masculinity” in 1968) causes the most visceral reaction of rage from me.
Jesus, Trump. You are presumably the leader of the free world. Learn how to give a dignified handshake. Cringing.
Just so everyone has the context.
Apparently she’s in a new thriller starring Emilia Clarke and this picture of her is maybe enough to make me want to see it..?
Where did Rich say that anyone should be offended by the movie?
I think a lot of Enid’s disenchantment with Rebecca towards the end of the movie is indicative of Rebecca reaching the point where she had started to finally grow up. Enid, particularly Enid if she stayed in town, would always have been stuck in the same place emotionally and perhaps mentally.
You have to read about her parents’ backgrounds. They were both adult film stars and helped manage Thora’s career as a child actor. They were terrible and controlling. I love her so much, I watched all of her movies growing up in the 90s. She and Christina Ricci and Kirsten Dunst are my 90s faves. I hope Thora will…
uhhh.... I’m a South Asian Muslim immigrant and Ghost World was my #1 movie in 2001...shit, I watched it a thousand times on dvd and I was obsessed with the graphic novel and the website. I graduated from high school the same year the movie came out and I hated everyone with equal passion like Enid and Becky, and my…
I’m not sure I understand the backlash to this comment. Nicole Kidman practically begged Jane Campion on bended knee to do Portrait of a Lady. She continually picks incredibly off the beaten path roles with nuanced (not strong, not perfect) women. I totally get her sentiment. Movie making is weird and can be super…
Kids: If you’re going to do something illegal for your promposals, I humbly make the following suggestion.
As a young millennial, I also feel that a lot more of the entitled/lazy accusations are lobbed at women—it’s always a vocal-frying Instagram-ing girl in Mom Jeans drawling about her blog in the “paint me a picture” intro paragraph of the angry op-eds about Shithead Youth by boomers.
Question: is it possible millennial women are also more sensitive to the accusations about how lazy and entitled we supposedly are? Or is it just me? I’m an old millennial, so I think I’m not entirely the group intended in these millennial studies (I’m 35. Most stuff about millenials seems to be all about how terrible…
