I had assumed the part of Poor Unfortunate Souls that they’d change is the part where Ursula talks about helping fat people by making them thin with magic.

you’re correct that’s it’s “prattle.” I had the cassette tape soundtrack with the lyrics insert when I was a kid and listening to this obsessively.

I think most of his Disney work is starting to sound the same and getting less and less exciting. He’s so talented with writing raps that it really shouldn’t feel as gimmicky as it does. But it really does now. His own works are so much more inspired because they don’t have to play PG. I hope he writes another actual…

Is there a way for any guy to talk about his relationship with masculinity without talking about what he feels is his own masculinity? I don’t see this as being like the “cool girl” thing where a woman talks about liking beer and sports as a way to shit on traditionally feminine interests and, by extension, other…

Friendly co-workers appropriately do not discuss religion at work: News at 11.

It is definitely all grotesque caricatures and very absurd on a lot of levels and that’s how I find it entertaining and funny. I don’t see it as a cautionary tale and I definitely don’t aspire to any of this. People tend to talk about it like it’s The West Wing but, in reality, it’s a lot more like a dark 30 Rock or a…

These people won’t give up the guns and won’t make accessing mental health services easier. The “solutions” they want involve an aggressive, fascist military/police state where people are so terrified of the military/police that they’ll never even consider shooting anyone. Because, in that scenario, all the…

I love how Richard Dreyfuss managed to somehow use the topic of representation in casting to show his ass AND compare himself to Sir Laurence Olivier in the same breath. He climbed all the way up his own ass on this one.

I think we’re getting a lot of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come with these flash forwards and something is going to happen (probably Lenny’s death) that’s going to change Midge’s career ambitions.

15 years ago, when I got married, I bought my dress by myself on a whim at the $99 sale at David’s and this was seen, at the time, as a shockingly casual approach to dress shopping and wedding planning that my mom is still a little sad about (because she didn’t get to sit and see me try on dresses? which seems…

Parker Posey is one of those actors where I know any movie she’s in is going to be worthwhile for her scenes alone.

I noticed it the most with that last “sip” of champagne where you can tell she made it look like she took a sip but didn’t actually drink anything. Kept her lips closed but tilted the glass up.

I felt like I was right there in the denial stage with Roman, because until they took the body off the plane, I couldn’t believe he was actually dead given the number of times the show has almost killed him. Fantastic episode.

It is definitely set in California:

I mean, Temple of Doom opened with the Anything Goes musical number, so we can’t say past films haven’t used the pop music of the eras in awkward ways. We can only say we really hoped they would learn from their mistakes.

It’s a false equivalency, though. Or at least a gross oversimplification. It’s like saying a person who compulsively eats feces is no different than a person craving a cheeseburger. There’s a difference.

Exactly. Providing a legitimate platform for lies and then not challenging those lies only exposes more people to an unchallenged lie.

Lesley Stahl.

I’m just telling you the call is coming from inside your own house.

And there’s a big difference between “mad at” and “upset by” and “I hate this celebrity, feel no compassion for them and wish them ill.”
