I mean, if all it is is a reason to shamelessly showcase Sarah Paulson’s bone structure, it might just be worth it, still.

Ryan Murphy stuff can be a mess, but don’t we all dream of having the type of power where you can literally throw anything at the wall and some executive will pay you millions and produce it?

If that means our liberal principles must be temporarily compromised, we must find the courage to do it.

Found the undercover cop

Phoebe Waller-Bridge really needs to star in a project or not act in it at all, because the scenes she was in made me wish this was a show about her and Sheriff Cloud solving crimes. The rest of the series was pretty fucking tedious by comparison.

My high hopes for this show were connected to the fact that it wasn’t just Phoebe, but also Vicky and Jenny Robins (story producer). They all worked together on KE s.1 and Fleabag s.2. So to me the biggest shock is how the pacing and the show premise just...fell apart.

We heard “Phoebe Waller-Bridge is behind it” and tuned in thinking this was going to be a Fleabag and/or Killing Eve when it turned out to be neither. It didn’t help either that the trailers sort of advertised this as a romantic thriller. After the first episode, I was expecting this to be like the Before Sunset…

Just binged the whole thing. This season is good, but the style and storiline felt like a departure from the first one, similar aesthetics aside. Still worth watching.

Is it his money? I thought we didn’t really know the job/finances situation there.

Because in real life, women face this shit all the time, and there’s no end credits or musical score to tie it up in a pretty bow. We literally fear for our lives from some men, particularly exes, who sincerely think they’re entitled to our bodies, time, conversation, etc.

Ultimately, this is a genre that wasn’t all that viable in the 90s and that doesn’t make any sense 20+ years later.

I don’t know if the romantic comedy genre has changed, but all romantic comedies from that era (maybe inspired by the John Hughes formula) seem to glorify behavior that amounts to self-obsessed stalking.

I don’t know why the original movie gets as much credit as it does because I can’t get over the main character’s very creepy motives and actions. He wants to learn why all of his failed relationships ended? He wasn’t self-aware during the time or after to figure that out? He has to go contact all of his exes who, for…

Maybe they can take down Joan while they’re at it. She doesn’t exactly add value around here.

Given Carrey’s response and it being explicitly clear he was not being sexual in any way, I think it’s only right for Jezebel to take down the headline to this article.  

RE: Jim Carrey

Sometimes an eye-roll can be well-timed and witty. These videos seem to think imitating the mannerisms of funny, insightful people means they are automatically funny or insightful. They aren’t funny or insightful. They’re dismal and lazy and tedious.

Ugh. This is what right-wingers like to think a “progressive SJW movie review” looks like. We’re sliding into Salon territory, here.
