Definitely agree with this review! It says a lot about society’s still-basic-and-boring views on health and weight that this won the audience award at Sundance. I am someone who also has a BMI that is labeled “obese” but would not be called obese by most people in the real world, so am pretty much in the same category…
Training to run a marathon seems like a really odd and roundabout way to go about losing serious weight. I get the idea, but there have to be more efficient methods.
I can honestly see why people would think that, and they play it CONSTANTLY. (I’ve heard that song for a verrrrry long time now, since my kids have been playing her music on repeat since Christmas, prior to BE becoming more well known.) I actually love the song myself. It’s different, which is refreshing...I like how…
Well shit, I love my silly pop shit as shamelessly as I can but Old Town Road is fucking awful. Bad Guy is practically trolling to BE that awful but can’t manage it because it’s fun as shit.
I miss Claudia from our comment section.
I love her. She was always the best on that show. #TeamBrenda
I am THERE. FRONT ROW CENTER. WITH A BOX OF TISSUES. (They’ve never made a “Beth death” scene that didn’t make me tear up yet.)
He just got shot at, his brother and his brother’s wife got murdered by a MAGA racist... and he just stands there with that fucking shit-eating grin on his face as he trucks his tragically-orphaned nephew around for a photo-op.
Let me assure you, I have loved many movies about people who are doing much, much better financially than I am or ever will. That’s not really the problem I have with American Beauty. I think the movie itself is pretty disingenuous as a portrait or satire of the middle class, because it indulges the fantasy that…
That’s fair enough, but I’m not sure the movie really fully gets into the hypocrisy of him buying the car he always wanted because it makes him happy, vs. him saying that his wife just loves that couch because it’s a THING and THINGS can’t make you happy. I’m not sure I catch the distinction-slash-purity that Spacey…
For me, the nudity in that scene works to drive home the wrongness of what is happening. It’s like an indictment of every viewer who was getting off on the Lolita fantasy...like, “this is what you wanted to see, right?” but it’s completely de-eroticized and shot to make Suvari’s character look like what she is, a…
It goes unmentioned in this article that Spacey snaps out of his indeed creepy infatuation with Suvari when she tells him this will be her first time. He very much has a “holy shit what am I doing??” moment.
And lastly, but most importantly, Kevin’s parents were $$$. They absolutely have wi-fi cameras in their house now, so that can obviously see that Kevin is there in .3 seconds. Unless somehow the city of Chicago is hit with an EMP and both the internet and phone services are down simultaneously, this movie doesn’t work.
In the movie, the mom calls the police and asks them to check on Kevin. They were all, “yeah whatever who cares.” Then the cop who does show up half asses the job.
Woman that was dating 20 men gets mad at man that is dating two.
In some of those states, households with gross incomes up to 200 percent of the poverty line — which would be about $50,000 for a family of four
WHY IS EVERYONE DRESSED LIKE IT’S NOVEMBER?!?!?! HOW ARE THEY NOT DYING!?!??!
