I have a very small sample group, but the two professional reviewers that I know aren’t mad a the people who like the book, or even, often, the book itself - what they are “mad” at is the outsized promotion of books and writers who are, in many cases, fair to middling. But they also understand that in a world where…

For an author today, you have to thread a needle in which your book is popular enough to make you money, but not so popular that it gets torn to shreds by critics.

Funny, they told me the opposite if i stopped holding my Marvel Comics in public i might get a girlfriend.

I will add to the Playlist on my phone labeled “Camptown”

I will admit to enjoying Rumors in 2004.

You joke, but I went to school with someone who I would call an Titanic enthusiast. She was obsessed. Any history project from 3rd grade through 12th grade where we got pick the topic, Titanic. Guess what her favorite movie still is. 

Take your star.... this is just as bad as Maisel’s standup. Which probably would
have been funny in the 1950's, but is more painful than funny now. 

Ohhhh, yes. I genuinely want to like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It has so much going for it. But good lord, it is exhausting. Stunts like these are pushing me toward embittered.

Have ya heard about this Mrs. Maisel promo in LA? They say it’s a gas. But seriously, folks, if things in Santa Monica were this bad all the time, I’d swim out past the breakers and watch the world die. Well, mainly watch Joel die, am I right? Cheating bastard. I’d feed him to the sharks, but even the sharks have…

How nice of Amazon to demonstrably prove that they absolutely COULD be paying employees more and investing in better working conditions but just don’t want to.

In a way, this is the perfect real-world illustration of something Midge Maisel would do: Totally self-centred, showy celebration for her accolades while not thinking about what a pain in the ass it is for everyone else.
I admit the show has its merits, but in Season 2, I found the entire family’s self-important…

I’m surprised that nobody opened another bird themed restaurant called “Cocks” that had only buff male waiters dressed only in bicycle shorts. It could be big among the gay and divorced mom set. 

A ton of people stopped buying from them after the Walmart thing. There are lots of ways to still purchase items without directly buying from the website, so that’s the route that many fans took (poshmark, eBay, buy/sell/trade groups on social media). 

I know the 90's were a long time ago, but is it just me or was smoky eye not a thing back then? I mostly recall mauve-brownish matte lips outlined in a brown much darker than the lip color as the most memorable make-up trend. Also super-pale eye shadow (which is sort of going on here, but minus the smoky eye).

True justice will be had when Seacrest is denied entrance into, say, an IHOP or a Target. 

It’s even more sad when you watch “Homecoming” and listen to her talk about how much abject misery she was in. She haaaaaated doing this. She was starving, exhausted, AND spending all that time in the gym instead of hanging out with her newborn children. So she could fit into a costume. You can hear in her voice that…

re: inflicting a harsh diet plan on normal people and what that looks like-a few years ago, I was Gamora for Comicon, and in the months leading up to it, I let my trainer know I needed to get RIGHT to fit into the skintight black pleather get-up I had made. I paid a makeup artist to do my body and face makeup, and…

On a similar note, I found myself disappointed as the Daily Show started to decline in the late aughts (which was especially noticeable as the Colbert Report kept evolving and improving...). Humor and making fun of the news seemed to take a back seat to nailing a person or political point, which in turn made the…

Holy shit. Did you get a course credit for writing this?
