In Girls Trip, it was absinthe. In this movie, it’s cannabis edibles. I guess the article here assumed that was a spoiler even though it’s shown in the trailer.

No one expected this show to be as big of a hit as it was but anyone could have seen it was going to get at least two seasons. You’ve got Shonda Rimes, gorgeous costumes and people and Taylor Swift songs adapted as waltzes, plus all the steamy sex scenes. It banked on the fact that Downton has somehow shambled on for…

It just feels awkward because they harp on how close-knit and dependent these families all are on each other. It’s a major plot point in all of the seasons. Downton Abbey had a similar problem after the first two seasons but then they just started killing off characters because it was the only reasonable explanation…

So Girls Trip for old white women, right down to the accidental drug ingestion. Got it.

It is surprising to me that with how much it likely cost to produce this show’s first season that actors weren’t locked in for multi-season contracts.

I remember seeing a couple very funny videos from actual accountants on TikTok pleading “please, I just want to talk about finance tips and share my expertise and I’m not cool enough to navigate this”

It’s just the issue that if one person asks all their friends to help them out, it means those without those connections end up not getting the same chance of a nomination. It feeds into the issues of nepotism and “popularity contest” which the academy has been trying to get rid of.

It’s that thing where the reality of making a relationship work when your families don’t get along, even in less fraught ways, is stressful, unpleasant and usually only ends up working out by the couple developing very solid boundaries to protect their relationship and mental health. Usually that means you don’t get…

I also use Game Mode because I find it provides the best detail for dark shows and movies. I only use Movie Mode when it’s a movie I know was shot on film and not digitally. Anything shot digitally or that has a lot of CGI looks better in Game Mode.

Way to be explicit in your expectation that a woman must be a perfect victim in order to be a victim at all.

Y2K had a thing with huge belt buckles -- this feels like a play on that. A zipper pull the size of a belt buckle.

You made me realize the quality of the screenshots from the TikTok are probably making it look more rare to me than it actually is because I was basing that off the look of the texture rather than just the color, but it’s actually not easy to tell.

Yeah, that’s just what a rare roast looks like. I don’t like a roast THAT rare, but to each their own. I am sure it’s a very expensive roast, so I wouldn’t expect it to be medium.

Yeah, the difference between staying in and getting out is whether you can profit off of the gossip and whether you get to tell your side of it. Harry decided to get out, cash in and expose the charade. I don’t feel bad for anyone involved (Harry included) and I sadly doubt any scandal coming out of Buckingham would…

And beyond that: Your role models should not only be people of your own gender. Your personality, character and behavior are not defined by your gender. You should be able to take advice and learn things from people of any gender. If they only want to listen to men or if they only want to listen to people who are…

Villains monologuing is a trope and this show was very trope-y, but the killer explaining his whole plan did happen in the book, too.

The first series where they were making clever updates and twists to the original Sherlock Holmes mysteries was really enjoyable but after that, it just started to feel like it was becoming a parody of itself.

I can’t imagine what I would do if my partner took back the tip I left and left a far smaller amount. It’s just so incredibly rude. I’d rather a partner that complained to managers and tipped well than someone who pulled shit like this.

I wonder if they determined selling/leasing the streaming rights to these shows to other platforms would be more profitable? It’s just such an odd decision

I admit I do love Christmas but I think it’s interesting that we have a holiday built around an old pagan practice of trying to bring light, generosity and optimism to the longest, darkest nights of the year... but then have the long slog through January, February and March. I wish Christmas came at the end of January…
