I agree, Audrey - and a few others - are probably operating on another plane but she’s like the 25th female character to appear on screen berating a man and then do nothing else. It feels like Lynch is saying something very loudly, that this is how men see women.

I KNOW. It’s insane! And none of the review articles I’ve read even address it - there has been some grumbling about the violence against women but not a peep about the obnoxious, reductive caricatures all our favorite characters have become. Shelly would never do that to her daughter (who’s also a milquetoast),…

My close friend had a phase where she slept with dudes without condoms for about a year after she found out she couldn’t have kids. It wasn’t just carelessness, it was an act of deliberate self destruction and it broke my heart. She decided she didn’t care because she wasn’t worth protecting anymore, nothing anyone…

I mean...a story needs conflict in order to be compelling, and every hero needs a villain. But this show is about how Kylie’s greatest enemy is Kylie? If that’s the plot, then why not do a Paris Hilton thing and have her go get a job? Or go to college?

One can always look back at the 90's adaptation of Mansfield Park where it turns out that the cold, withholding dad is actually an EVIL SLAVE RAPING RAPIST who pressured his son into following in his dark, evil footsteps. That shit was heavy.

I also LOVED her on Clean House, where she was just her charming self. I usually don’t watch shows like that but it was always on when I was getting ready for work in the morning and I fell in love with her whole hosting persona. She was so warm, empathetic and forgiving with people who were really vulnerable (imagine…

I know Hazel brushed the dude thing aside but seriously, I wish this was written and directed by women. It’s always uncomfortable when these piercing looks at female friendships and lifestyle choices are helmed by men. Like, yes, I’m sure these males can write and totally ‘get’ the subject they are working with but…

Can’t they just wiggle the language? How about Climate Volatility?

In light of this terrifying true-life model being trafficked on the dark web, this premise goes from cartoonish to depressingly relevant. I seriously hope there’s real life Detective Robin Griffin’s out there looking for the other women who are currently being held captive. What a sick world. Men are the worst. Jane…

“Look at FLOTUS for instance!”

“I love you in spite of the fact that everyone tells me you’re gross but I’m brave and generous so I stood up to them and married you anyway, even though for the rest of our lives, everyone we ever meet will wonder what I, a skinny man, could possibly see in you, a slightly less skinny woman. But I don’t care about…

The Daily Beast article implied that the auction was for a human sacrifice cult and that mothers were not suitable victims. Hostel is apparently a documentary.

This really bums me out. I love their podcasts! Dear Prudence is great for doing dishes, Trumpcast is great when walking the dog (puts picking up poo in perspective) and the Gabfest is great for going to sleep. I’ve been a member since January but I can’t renew after reading that letter and hearing what a sidetalker…

Pence is actually a really shitty politician. I agree he has that mannequin face thing going on but if you look at his record, he was just terrible at governing Indiana and was looking at pretty lameduck future in the Republican party before Trump picked him. He proposed all kinds of nutball ideas (state run media…

What about Orbitz though

Sarah Sanders apparently has “relatable” style.

Oh, that does clear it up and makes a lot more sense. Also, thank you.

I think you’re right - it’s disturbing in so many ways. One thing I wonder, could someone write a suicide note accusing someone else of pushing them to the act and would this precedent help convict that person? Should it?

You’re seriously saying that Tarantino can freely use the n-word because he has black friends? C’mon. That’s nonsense.
