Remember when Patty Jenkins was Thor 2's director and was replaced with Alan Taylor? And Portman was pissed and started to get the “difficult” label way back in early 2010s because she was promised a woman as director, which was why she agreed to do Marvel, and then the “Jane” character disappears under Taika? So…

”Which place that is, and why it needed to be constant, are unclear.”

I like Sussexodus myself.

Florence Pugh got nominated for Amy in “Little Women”??? Is this the thing where the Academy goes “Sorry we didn’t acknowledge your stellar work in that other thing last year so here’s a nomination for some random thing you did this year”, because “Midsommar” was a horror movie and therefore not supposedly worthy of…

Is this a case of the Kardashian calling the Chyna Blac.

Two nominations for Scarlett Johnasson. What a historic moment for Asian women.

ScarJo reps for them, no?

Prince Harry went from wearing Nazi uniform to a party to protecting his new mixed race family at all costs.

I just appreciate that Little Women/the March family are the sweet, caring, Christian trojan horse thanks to which generations of girls in conservative families have been introduced to a queer, gender non-conforming role model in Jo.

Them’s fighting words!

It isn’t a betrayal of Jo to go to Europe--it was something they both wanted, and the relatives made it clear that they would rather spend that time with Amy than Jo, since Jo couldn’t pretend for a single visit that she would be an agreeable travel companion. And since Jo made it clear she didn’t want to marry…

This is a great analysis and makes me like Amy a bit more.  I related to Jo’s character as growing up, I wasn’t stereotypically feminine and loved to read.  I would look down on other women who had these more stereotypical traits.  Then I matured a bit, and why is it so wrong to like things that may be considered…

“man who liked women to conform to all the standard conventions of beauty while simultaneously believing that all the trappings of those standards were vapid and unworthy of a serious person’s notice.”

Also- the Alcotts were sort of insane! I mean they were lots of good things - but they refused to eat root vegetables because they grew downwards (they only ate “aspiring” vegetables that grew towards the sun). The girls were also schooled in self denial as a virtue so I’ve always assumed that Amy is just rebelling…

I feel like I understand LW a lot better now, having learned a bit about Alcott. All of her disdain of feminine things, all of her euphoria over having some free time to write... I think a lot of it makes sense when you figure in the abject poverty her family lived in, how her father’s Thoreau-like philosophy landed…

Honestly, fuck body positivity. Fats built a community and SURPRISE! straight size people with the privilege that comes along with that diluted it down to nothing and made those very fats feel unwelcome.

The “joy” (read: horror) of capitalism is that literally anything, no matter how noble, positive, or even anti-capitalist, will eventually be co-opted and sold.

a product that says, “I like to waste money and poop my pants.”

Very uncomfortable but great episode. I actually do not think Liam was all that out of line. He saw his wife flirting with Jonas and just knew something was going on…partners often say they just know when their spouse is cheating. Its like you have a sonar and an alarm goes off. The tech allows him to prove…

So I just binged all of the Black Mirrors in about a week and this one stands out as one of most relatable and devastating pieces of television I never knew existed.
