This movie looks so sacriligous to Christie’s Poirot/Suchet’s Poirot that I’m just going to believe that it’s intentionally a (bad) French accent.

“Non, mon ami, you see Poirot is a *French*man, not a Belgian.”

Worked into the script somehow, just because. For Reasons.

Just an FYI but when you respond to a troll, their posts remain visible. :-( 

Poe’s law

Fear not, intrepid defenders of democracy! The feds are on the case.

For children of abusive parents, the etiquette experts recommend saving the money you’d spend on said parents and putting it toward therapy for yourself. 

Wow. You might want to get some therapy. Or a divorce. Or — ask your wife if she might want to see a doc for prenatal depression. (Is this a possibility?)

I second the prenatal massage suggestion. The masseuses who specialise in these have special tables with gaps for the baby bump, so a mother-to-be can lie down on her tummy for a blessed change. It’s like a little slice of heaven after months of lying on your side or back. Though at 21 weeks you might want to give her…

I would not feel appreciated if my partner made me a nice meal and then told me I can wait to do the dishes on Monday. If you are going to cook for me, please also do the clean-up work.

Or if that’s beyond you just take us both out to eat.

And I love that she has patched things up with Helena Bonham Carter

Which is strange, because Branagh is not strong in the looks department. 

Bless your grandmother and her opinions.

The best thing I can say about this ridiculous photograph is that it cements Suchet’s legacy as Best Poirot.

Robert Reich on why Trump holds rallies (SPOILER: it’s for power): 

Narcissistic supply.

Well, update: I don’t agree so much with your second paragraph... 

I’m a feminist (and a woman — the “Sir” is a lie) with photosensitive epilepsy and I agree with everything you wrote [eta: in your first paragraph; not so much the second]. The buried lede here is that this is a win for those who are fighting against ableism.

If you have to ask... Then your answer is yes. Yes, concern yourself.

Leash your dog. Take him to a behaviour class.

I’m with you. And frankly surprised this is still up for debate after last year’s Revenant/Suicide Squad nonsense. People defending Affleck need to be reminding that METHOD ACTRESSES have never used method acting as an excuse for real-life shitty behaviour to others (even if they, themselves, suffer from their art).

But she wants that award really, really bad.

Had to look it up. The real-life Hughes was 53 in 1958. Beatty is 79. :( :( :(
