Has Emily been harmed by Charlotte’s criticisms of Jane Austen? I don’t think her reputation has taken much of a hit on that score. (And I kind of get where Charlotte was coming from, even if I don’t agree with what she said at all. Imagine writing Jane Eyre and being told that your writing wasn’t feminine enough. Be…

and if (b) is true, then he’s just an out of touch old man who doesn’t know anything about modern day music

He works a lot in Canada! Canada famous is the best kind of famous.

Our dumb planet seems intent on treating Hallelujah like it’s a Christmas song, instead of the bummer sex dirge it so clearly is.

Hagiographies are boring, and Winston Churchill was anything but boring. In terms of racism and misogyny Sir Winston was probably no worse than everyone else in the early 20th century (and certainly better than some), but as a leader he had his highs and his lows.

That kind of attitude is a great way to feel good about yourself, but a shitty way to win elections.

Calm down, ghost of Robert E. Lee!

I still admire him. He has generally been positive about Whittaker’s hiring, but made one silly comment - which he acknowledged was a silly comment as he was making it! - and now INTERNET RAGE.

I think his advice is pretty reasonable. I have never run longer than a half myself, but I know a few ‘normal’* people who have, and they all trained similarly. Short, intense runs two or three days a week, with a long run on the weekend (not full marathon distance but certainly longer than 10 miles - but of course…

Well, glad you’re not bitter!

The best part of the Wedding Website (sigh) is this gem regarding accommodations:

You’re really stretching to make a somewhat bewildering point.

Maybe they were being ironic? That’s the only reason I can think of.

It’s a good movie on it’s own merits - and I say that not having seen the other three movies.
