General rule: if something you do can be compared fairly to something Ted Bundy did, stop doing that thing.
Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.
It’s interesting though, that we can love hate male protagonists (the list of white male anti-heroes is endless), but female protagonists have to be likable or the movie/tv show is crap. Even better if the female protagonist is taken down a notch by being unbelievably clumsy/bad at relationships/ball-buster at…
Billy Bush reminds me of every dude that ever tried too hard to fit in and be “cool.”
It was good and necessary. I’m black and I’ve been Ladybird. Plus, Laurie Metcalf is a goddamn national treasure. I bawled my eyes out and am going back to see it with my 23 year old so she can feel guilty as fuck and then we can go thrifting. It was good.
I read through some of the negative user reviews and largely it seems that people believe that a good film is entirely about the story and how much you personally relate to it. Or that if you dislike a character that the film portrays as a protagonist, well meaning, or in some way loving that the production as a whole…
Oh, it is undoubtedly a White girl drama about finding yourself (ish), but it added some meat and unexpected details to the typical “bones” of the narrative. It felt honest and resonated at a deeper level, for me (a white lady around Gerwig’s age), than other movies I’ve seen that tried to accomplish similar things.
It really is wonderful. And you didn’t even mention how great Tracy Letts is as the Dad, or how great Lucas Hedges is as Danny. Or the scene when Danny comes to see Lady Bird at the coffee shop, or the Mom coming BACK to the airport......yes, if you haven’t seen it, just go see it.
It’s a really good and honest movie about a teenager coming-of-age: therefore, a little bit of it is twee, and some of it is silly, but it is also by turns sad, and frustrating, and uncomfortable, and a real gut-punch as the main character has to deal with her life: her post-high school ambitions, her sexuality, her…
Yes. I get no sense whatsoever that she experiences any shame doing her job. With Spicy, you could tell that he knew he was tearing little pieces of his soul off with each press conference. That is why he quit after six months. You can tell listening to her that she has no soul.
What’s truly distressing is that this is exactly right. A more successful football coach *could* get away with being a bully, an asshole, and an accomplice to child rape. Fuck Greg Schiano, fuck Peter King, and fuck all the Paterno-slurpers who will inevitably come out of the woodwork once again.
The revelation that Gabby was abused completely recontextualizes her comments from Friday.
Your opinion is wrong and I’m embarrassed for you.
“Oh we can’t? Because of the Constitution?” DYING.
I also take lots of artistic liberties in describing my girlfriend, mainly because I don’t have a girlfriend
my boyfriend would like you to know that i took artistic liberties with my portrayal of him here
This video was running on repeat in my head the whole time I’m watching this:
The snap that Keenan does at 0:17.
RIP.
