I assume the twist is that the whole thing is an abandoned Nicholas Sparks novel? 

I kind of can’t wait for the day she writes her own tell all, and the access-reporters who covered her ass in the hopes of bigger scoops and better stories “later down the line” get bupkis because these people in the white house have no honor and hold no promises.

I clicked through to the VF link and MAN Oh MAN does this dude know where his bread is hypothetically promised to be buttered:

oooooooooo so it was like cooking “on” the oil instead of “in” it. Innovative. I love learning mechanical stuff like that.

I’m so perplexed how it fit into the fryer... Like, vertically? And how did the eggs not just float away? 

I know it’s less quick-n-easy, but we are living microwave free and I plan to try this, but use the toaster oven for heating all of them. Fingers crossed! 

By being an “aggregator” and not a writer. 

Basic truth of politics: No one gets elected alone. The politician is beholden to someone. The question is always, to whom. Clinton had a lot of secrets and not a lot of cash, so those are the two areas I would look, if I were examining where his political power came from. 

He’s also not hard to notice wherever he is, and won’t get far fast in that go-cart

100% expecting Woodward to be killed by cops because he’s armed when they come to question him next episode.

There’s no way Clinton was ever the most powerful man in Arkansas. The men who knew and covered up Cinton’s secrets, and the men who raised his political funds were always more powerful.

Completely agree. I disagree with the reviewer’s assumption that the characters in 1990 know what happened in 1990 “with Julie and her father.” I think we are going to see, very soon, what happened with Julie and her father, after they are reunited. And we are going to see the repercussions of that on West and Hayes

There was also the line, kind of a throwaway, I think between West and Hayes at the bar, that “the guy’s kids hired them/him” -- which I took to imply Woodward’s kids had hired an investigator to clear their father’s name. I fully expect him (Woodward) to die, either in custody or in suicide or suicide-by-cop when…

Jesse Plemmons... I forgot ALL about his role here. Christ, this film deserved better attention than it got. 

My husband and I watched this on demand at home and had to pause and rewind after the scene, because we lost it so thoroughly over the squeaky toy. 

I work with a lot of low income families in their homes. You definitely do not need to be wealthy to have clutter. In fact, I would say being neat takes more money, because it’s fucking exhausting to be poor and who the fuck wants to clean and organize your house when you’re exhausted from working a double shift.

2a) Award show/talk show swag bags. They are literally just gifted free shit they definitely don’t need all the time. 

MacKenzie Bezos already IS rich. She is a co-founder of Amazon. “Jeff’s money” is not his money, it is their money. 

Fairly certin the Russian Tea Room mentioned here is in NYC and that Carol Channing story sounds an awful lot like an eating disorder.

The worst part is I think the time constraints of a movie would benefit Nic Pizzolatto and make him tighten up the slack areas of writing and plotting that drag down the good parts of his show.
