I agree that my second thought after the standard rage that these people were profiled was “what the fuck does a nursing student need a $2,500 handbag for and where did she get the money? Independently wealthy?”

This. I can’t even imagine having enough money to faff about with separate accounts! Every dollar every month is eaten up by our bills, taking money out of the bill-paying checking account into some sort of ....what, mani-pedi account? I laugh and laugh and laugh and then sob. (sigh)
What bugged me about it is that she couldn't get a mortgage and then she suddenly could? Even if she got about 50k for that ring for a down payment how does that suddenly translate into getting the mortgage? I also hate they portrayed her getting $4 a word freelance writing for Vogue. As IF!!
The slap was so cheap, as was Aleks’ total personality change once they got to Paris. They could have had her realize she missed NY too much without turning him into such a prick. Also I hated how she didn't even TRY with Paris at ALL. she had literally nothing to do all day—why not enroll in an intensive multi-hour…
I’m on no one’s side in that episode. Carrie actually had to work for once (she was meeting her editor) and Miranda called her and just barked “Come over! Bye!” Like, what the heck was 90lb Carrie going to do to help an injured Mir off the floor anyway? Aiden was the better choice. BUT, Carrie should have called her…
I am annoyed that Youtube doesn’t have the scene from the West Wing pilot where the religious group lady snides at Josh for his “New York sense of humor” and Toby gets AMAZINGLY pissed and says “she means Jewish.” I would love to just post that shit on YouTube and see who figures it out.
Let’s just say if I had known about the traumatic horse death prominently featured in “True Grit” a few years back I absolutely wouldn’t have gone to see it. I was horrified, even though I understood that it was obviously important to the plot. Pretty much as traumatizing as the Neverending Story in terms of fictional…
For starters, more casting directors doing colorblind casting. Unless the character’s race is a specifically important aspect of their character, or they are based on a real person, there’s no particular reason that white actors are cast in like 90+% of all the good roles.
WORD. Ignore it. All of it. First of all, GD is largely dictated by genetics. I am a fat woman with PCOS who was lectured about my very high risk allll the livelong day when I first got pregnant. But two pregnancies full of binging on Cinnamon Toast Crunch later and I gained maybe 5 pounds with each and didn’t get GD…
They didn’t put that bit with the bear hide sewing in the film? That’s the best bit in the whole original story!
I have such conflicted feelings on Boston because on one hand, Sean from that year grew up to be a garbage nightmare Tea Party congressman. But on the other hand, Montana was probably one of my all-time favorites and I still cackle when I think about her giving a sip of wine to the kids they were in charge of watching…
Excuse me, MA’AM, but to exclude Seattle in your assessment of best seasons is demonstrably wrong. Not only did closet-gay Stephen smack Lyme Disease Weirdo Irene (my favorite all time cast member, who framed a photo from her colonoscopy and brought it to the house) right in the face, but it also featured two amazing…
I have literally never wanted to see an Oscar-nominated film less than this movie. Torture porn and the preview shows someone forcing a poor horse to run off a cliff? Hard pass.
False. He was incredibly good in “The Aviator” and should have won that year.
The phony phone calls give me second hand embarrassment so bad that I have to turn the volume down. I also love the wack pack, I am obsessed with High Pitch Eric’s scams for money and food.
It all seems insanely arbitrary. I’ve been commenting on this site for nearly NINE years now and am still grey. I was black for like 2 months, then grey again forever. Who knows?
So many great women characters too though, and who were nuanced like real humans! I always had a soft spot for Amy because she didn’t take Josh’s shit and went full bore helping a more progressive candidate because Bartlet didn’t “own” every vote on the left, and she had real issues with some of his positions. Josh…
Sure! Once a week or so. He runs around like crazy with other dogs for 10 straight hours and then comes home and is calm and sleepy and well-behaved for like 3 days. It is fucking amazing.
Thank you. HAS that happened, a couple times, somewhere? Sure. But “a number of times” just in that one guy’s town, recently? No way. The odds are so small.
4 minutes is kind of a long time, but if he could see the car I wouldn’t have an issue. I have a 2 and 1 year old, and I leave them alone in the car when we are dropping off or picking up the dog from daycare. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about doing this, and literally the only thing I worry about when I do…
