They are an interracial couple who was horribly mistreated by the British press.  And they also exaggerated this story. Both things can be true.

It feels like she’s being exploited another way... If not for her parent’s connection to the Orange Idiot, she’d just be another influencer in the crowd fighting for views.

I’m wondering how many of these “near collisions” involved their car.

How is she undignified? Is everyone in a bathing suit undignified, or just women?

Yeah, I guess available phd topics are getting thin because this entire thesis is completely half-baked. Teenagers’ takes on relationships and sexuality are an inexperienced, uneducated mess (making them great fodder for comedies) and to treat kids like they should be bringing a 35 year-old’s perspectives and understan…

I repeat: I honestly didn’t think much about these scenes or any deeper implications they might hold. They’re cute and goofy, and I’m an adult woman who’s traded in high school crushes for a far less cute dating hell. But they certainly stuck out to Michele Meek, author of the new book Consent Culture and Teen Films:…

Yeah, when I saw that entry all I could think was “wait, isn’t Billie Lourd an only child?”. I’m glad I wasn’t losing my mind.

Yeah, this. There are musicians/artists/filmmakers whose work I can acknowledge as technically excellent but just doesn’t connect with me- doesn’t mean it’s bad, just means that it’s not for me. That’s pretty much what seems to be going on here.

I think in this case she literally (heh) meant that his technique was excellent, and she would have liked it a lot more if she cared more about him. Which is fine, and a pretty good explanation for J-Lo taking him back.

Affleck the actor, eh, take him or leave him. Affleck the writer/director however, very talented.

I understand the “technically excellent” to mean that it was good or great, but that it just wasn’t going to be as good as it was with Pitt, with whom she apparently had some crazy chemistry and connection. Affleck could be the best lover ever, but having strong chemistry with another person, being in love, etc., are…

Maybe this means the pendulum is finally swinging the other way on the ridiculous, over the top American wedding culture with its cheesy matching bridesmaids dresses (doesn’t matter if the dresses are nice, the very concept of bridesmaids in matching dresses is fucking awful) and stupid labels on everything (bride,…

This is really it right here. It’s got nothing to do with modern brides being more “thoughtful” it’s got to do with modern brides either wanting a more bespoke (i.e. ewww, you used a national chain to dress your bridal party) and David’s having a hard time controlling cost so it was no longer an affordable option.

Yeah, I was gonna say...the aesthetic and experience at David’s was not my vibe and none of the dresses were at all fashion forward or modern. I don’t think it’s that deep hahah they’re just going under like other outdated retailers.

I don’t know why we have to have shame about enjoying a wedding. I loved mine, did it on a budget. But there is something powerful about a ritual celebrating a life change, you and your spouse declaring you love and your desire to build a life together with your family and friends as witnesses. As humans, we like…

Or, or, or, or...

I was dramatically underwhelmed with David’s Bridal during my sister’s wedding experience, so I can see why they’re going out of business.

The entire experience of shopping at David’s was extremely depressing. I wonder if brides with a budget started desiring more of a curated “Say Yes to the Dress” experience, but realized they just weren’t going to get that at a chain store.
