God, she's brilliant. Why couldn't Glenda Jackson have been our first female prime minister?

Or, indeed, when you live in a part of the country which is still recovering from her economic 'cure'.
"If it wasn't for Thatcher, you wouldn't have a computer!" is the maddest piece of Thatcher hagiography I've read all week, and man, there's been some competition. Tell me more about how spiralling unemployment and a massive economic crash invented Microsoft.
Replying because the world needs more Mussorgsky jokes.
I love that she clarifies she noticed the tide going in and out when she was looking at the ocean. She could very easily have been observing the tide looking at a NASCAR race, a hot air balloonist, an autopsy, or a naked mole rat constructing its tunnel nest, but in fact it was the ocean.
"It seems if you're rich and you're white/ You think you must be so right/ I just don't see why this should be so" - Morrissey.
That picture is making me wonder what her karaoke song is. 'Out Demons Out'?
So this mystery redhead pretending to be Amanda Bynes - it's Lohan, right? This clears it all up.
One of the small joys of my day is watching people constantly make huge sweeping judgements about the whole of Jezebel (and sometimes feminism as a whole) because they can't be bothered to check what the gossip roundup is called. Thanks!
Or, indeed, its own quacks.
Oh, I see, you skinny people are allowed to use anti-skinnyist slurs, but as soon as the word "toothpick" passes the lips of a lardo-identifier like me you're calling the National Association for the Advancement of Beanpoles! These double standards sicken me!
Careful what you wish for. You could end up with Jeremy Irons as a father.
Do you think it would be more effective if we weren't so media-saturated? I think if Andy Kaufman was alive today, people would react to a lot of the things he did with "Pfft, if this was real, his publicist would have leaned on the network to bury it."
I was overstating for rhetorical effect at the end there - I'd heard they'd had trouble convincing the studio to use their own names. My point is I can't see what it's adding to the film that isn't in a normal comedy starring these guys, other than removing ten minutes or so from the start where they establish who…
True dat. At school we were made to watch what the headmaster thought was a shocking, sobering documentary on teenage sex which featured loads of interviewees telling what we could recognise immediately as being very obvious, insecure, boastful lies. Apparently teenagers lying about sex is like certain…
See, these celebrities-play-celebrities projects can be funny when the celebrities are willing to subvert their image a bit. But this? This is just a standard-issue Seth Rogen comedy which no-one could be bothered thinking up character names for.
It's like Project Nim, but with more autotune.
This is surely the finest compliment anyone could ever receive.
A lot of people here use it to refer to sexual abuse issues, which is something I can't talk about because thankfully I've never experienced it. But I do think that these stories about rich self-destructive addicts being thought of as deep and sexy and cool trigger me in a way, because they make me (a poor…
I just looked her age up and was surprised to find she's about a year older than me. That's... strange? I'd always just assumed she was in her early twenties, still at that stage where your life feels like the world's greatest melodrama.
