I love Tennant and Bettany, but Tobias Menzies is fantastic. I’m happy to see him getting more leading roles.

I feel like he’s had one of the better careers post-Dawson! Obviously not Michelle Williams-level, but Fringe was great and The Affair was a pretty prestige show.

Right?!? Not to be *that* person, but I feel that if men needed tampons, they’d have figured out a fix by now.

Believe me, “attending law school” and “attending parties” are not mutually exclusive things.

I DID read the book, in the late 90s, and I don’t remember any of this either. Except that Mary bought it. I did remember that.

I think she’s just tragically miscast for this. And I can’t put my finger on why! Maybe she’s too young? I don’t buy that she’s a strong, independent woman who is blazing a trail for women in the 19th century workplace. She just seems like... Dakota Fanning in big puffy sleeves.

I feel like that’s kind of what happened, though.

They did a ‘grittier’ Little House version in 2005 - here’s the link to the imdb page. I only caught one episode and I don’t remember much of that, but I seem to recall thinking it was much, much better than the 70s version.

A lawyer who doesn’t drink? Now THAT’s a joke.

I wish you’d written the article - I don’t agree with you, but it’s a much more thoughtful, articulate take than whatever the fuck that was.

Hendricks was friendly, almost cooing

That way my thought too, fellow knitter. Anyone with a couple hours, some chunky yarn, and very basic skills could knock out a pussy hat; no way they are gonna get enough of these to make any kind of mass visual impact.

I’ve argued health issues to try and keep clients out of jail - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. For example, it worked with one old dude with heart problems - he got house arrest because the Judge was satisfied that sending him to jail would put his health at significant risk, and the punishment would…

What can I say? The heart wants what it wants. Call Me By Your Name taught me that!

Full disclosure, I had a crush on Becky’s boyfriend, Mark. Like Becky herself, I like them dumb, but sensitive.

I watched it when I was a kid! I aspired to be like Darlene, who was a smartass bitch. In retrospect, I was more of a Becky, in that I wore a lot of high waisted jeans and had terrible haircuts.

I’m with you on all of that, except I actually liked Hammer in the role - but no amount of lingering shots on the sun-dappled countryside can distract from the fact that he is most definitely not 24.

It’s a different situation. Teachers are in an inherently powerful situation, and students are vulnerable.

I will never not be angry at Braveheart for stealing the Oscar away from Apollo 13, so Braveheart can suck it.

It didn’t bother me. Taking a strictly legal approach, Elio isn’t a minor. Taking a more nuanced approach, there’s not much evidence that Oliver ‘preys’ on him - in the book (and in the movie too, as I saw it) Elio is clearly acting of his own volition.
