Yeah, I think Blue Ivy is pretty, but Sir is just... well it’s not great.

So I obviously don’t know how the first season ends, but this is kind of my worst nightmare. If it ends the way the book does there is no way there could or should be a second season, if not does that mean the ending just leaves us hanging?

I had really hoped that this would just be a stand alone miniseries as that…

swoon!

It’s not though. Paris if anything was driven by prestige not money, she’d be a doctor or a surgeon or something with power/prestige. She comes from money she doesn’t need it. Then her treating her kids that way, I mean I get that we often repeat the mistakes of our parents, but what would have been AMAZING would…

I taught a course on Superheroes as modern mythology, a friend suggested I call it “attractive men named Chris save the world.”

I’ve heard that too, and I don’t doubt it Leslie Odom, Jr. is incredible and fingers crossed he’s still with the show when I see it. Still though, I really want to see it with as much of the original cast as I can. I’ll say I’m not generally a musical theatre person, theatre yes, but musicals meh and I haven’t been…

I can’t see any reason not to, do they honestly think it will hurt ticket sales?! It is sold out till the end of time, and they can do incredible things with filming live performances now. Have you seen any of the National Theatre stuff? It is incredible. There are no excused please please capture this show on film!

It’s fair I get it, he has other things to move onto now. That said I’m pretty devastated, I was able to get a single ticket over two months ago for a show in November (yeah that’s the first date I could get at regular prices), and while I will still want to see the show I was so hoping I’d get to see him perform in…

Really missed the opportunity for an “As you wish” joke.

That was even more horrifying than I could have imagined.

Spotlight didn’t come as that big of a surprise to me. I know everyone seemed to think that The Revenant was going to win, but because of the way that the best picture ballot is weighted it doesn’t surprise me that Spotlight ended up on top.

Networks keep trying to make the next Mad Men, and aside from the fact that the next anything rarely matches up to the original, they also seem to have an inherent misunderstanding of what made Mad Men so great.

I was 18 when I saw Lost In Translation, incidentally the same age as Scarlett Johansson, and at the time it made me feel very uncomfortable. Everyone I knew loved it though and it hasn’t been until recently that I’ve started hearing people express unease with it. I know that’s not really profound in anyway, but your…

Whatever this is awesome and I’m jealous. We’ve got 3 cats and only 1 of them regularly spends time in the bed, but just think of all the room for activities!

No, but I personally found it less insulting because it wasn’t claiming, like this one did, to have “strong female characters.” In S1 the female characters are pretty much props to the male characters, but the overall story was much more compelling.

Yeah, it’s a little odd. I think it is great that she is taking a public stand against gun violence, but I don’t think that a shooting taking place in a movie theatre where her movie happened to be playing in anyway obligates her to comment.

Yeah, it’s actually a pretty fun movie.

Exactly.

Ugh, I was so disappointed and yet so not surprised by that “plot development.” Can we please just once get a strong female cop who doesn’t have rape or sexual molestation as an stand in for character development? I realize that sexual assault is something that many many women go through, so it isn’t that I’m against…

That and the fact that in the UK they are much more willing to give sexual content a pass than violence, so if they’re classifying something as overly sexual you’ve gotta think about that.
