Tim Curry was an awesome pick in 1975. But if this were the first casting of the same show, in 2015, I think it would be weird to pick a cis dude to play Frank. It’s like picking some Italian dude to play an American Indian was pretty normal when spaghetti Westerns came out but has become unacceptable today.

Best case scenario:

I honestly think it’s just an issue of star power. Cox is way more famous than the other two at this point (or at least way “hotter” right now). Though I too was surprised because it doesn’t seem like a match for gender identity. That said, having a trans person of any stripe play Frank is MUCH better having a cis…

“Was that so hard?” = “The situation has been resolved to my satisfaction, but I’d still like to start a fight about it.”

Isn’t that the worst option? If yes, then God’s plan involves God putting less intellegent beings through incredible physical and emotional pain for reasons beyond their comprehension. God is evil.

Quentin Tarantino is my prime example of liking someone’s work while rejecting their views and critical ability. His attitude toward the valid discussion of race in his films by black critics is deluded and pathetic, but I still think he’s a net positive for the portrayal of women and people of color in film.…

I dislike Amy Schumer for the same reasons I dislike myself. So I’m a huge fan.

Things definitely continue to improve but you’re quite correct, the options are still far from ideal.

Just remember to keep one hand on the machete and one hand on the everclear.

Befriend the machete guy. And if locals put antiseptic in something, dear god if you value your intestines you will do the same.

That’s actually good all-purpose advice for jungle sojourning.

I’m sorry that happened to you. Sadly, when dealing with narcissists, weddings (and funerals) seem to trigger next-level crazy behavior. It is not unusual for children of narcissitic parents to see one-of-a-kind, over-the-top bad behaviors by the narcissist at the wedding.

Agree. If to anyone, that text/email should go to MOB or MOH (or whoever else is taking that role). Definitely not needed for the bride and groom unless you are really close and/or had a role in the ceremony or reception which you will no longer be able to fulfill.

Yeah, that does not sound like a recipe for a normal life. I wonder what will happen to the child when she is weaned. She is an American citizen so hopefully she will be able to be adopted back here.

She doesn’t look 31!

It honestly sounds like this was an unexpected end to a lifelong abusive relationship between mother and daughter. I think they really were just on vacation and one of the mother’s jealous rages erupted and either the daughter or her male partner killed the mother in either hot blood or self defense. If they’d planned…

True story, when I started going through puberty my mom came into my room one day saying “Oh dip! You’re only 13 but we’re about to lose our window to fit you into grandma’s wedding dress just one time to say we tried!”

I’m pretty sure we had misogynist dickbeards before pornography.

With guys like this I feel bad for the watermelon.

We’re talking about 96 hours of being high as balls from two bowls. If she was your date you’d have had to take her to an ER to get rid of her safely. Luckily she was at home and under the supervision of experienced pothead roommates.
