Well! That untrue fact led me down a few interesting rabbit holes!  Thanks for suckering me.  Seriously.

Same age as you, and same reaction.

This is sad.

Well that’s just fucking awful.

The impression I get is that Chambers left to take care of mental health issues. I think it’s fairly well known that he has had really bad insomnia for years, to the point that he has operated on 2 hours of sleep a night for most of the run of the show. He was hospitalized for it in 2008. I imagine he just got to a…

Good for Olivia Cooke. Bates Motel was stacked with talent and she still managed to stand out.

saw this at TIFF last year it’s excellent and ahmed is phenomenal.

I always thought it was a CBC show. No CBC show would ever sweep the Emmys. Okay, I need to watch this show. 

I’m sure that white people with zero connection to the entertainment industry will definitely not feel personally slighted by—and overreact to—the news that in four years Universal will need to hire a black hairdresser if they want to compete for an Academy award.

I wanted so badly to be a salty jerk and hate this, but it is actually really endearing, and positive, and heartwarming. Their energy is a lot (as they admit), but it’s pretty sweet. I wasn’t talented enough to do musical theatre past high school (and had realized I was in it for friends rather than for myself), but I…

Yeah, that was my immediate reaction.  Total disbelief.

Holy Christ. This is awful. The kind of news where when you first see it you’re sure that someone somewhere must have made a terrible mistake, because there’s no way this can be true.

I am still unclear as to the distinction between a banger and a bop

Between songs that slap, songs that are bangers, and crapping on Robin Williams, this is a very contemporary review.

Ugh, what a fucking nightmare. Though I guess I’m grateful that Carruth decided to just out himself as an abusive creep, instead of letting fans continue to wonder why his career never really got off the ground despite his obvious talent.

Whenever I do anything stupid in public—or something gross, like picking my nose or farting- I worry some asshole is going to record it on their phone and upload it to YouTube.

The year this came out I watched it with my daughter. I turned to her in tears at the end and said, only half joking, “you’re never leaving home”. This year she graduated from high school (such as it is during a pandemic), and she has already left for a summer job at her college. She suggested we watch the movie the…

I’d also go so far as to say that opening montage alone got Giacchino his Original Score Oscar.

My kids, at 5, saw TS and after a few minutes asked me ‘wheres his (Andys) daddy?’

This is a slightly different take, but I do like how Jessies character is a giant homage to the influential Country singer Ruby Rose Belvin, better known as Patsy Montana. The lady was famous for yodeling and her song I Wanna Be a Cowboys Sweetheart was the first ever major female single in the genre. I believe she…
