I thinkNatalie Portman’s outfit, which includes a cape embroidered with the names of snubbed women directors, deserves more than an “it’s fine” brush off. 

Also team hospitals. Same here. I was 25, then in good health, no pregnancy complications. I went to the hospital and labored, pushed for 3 hours and ended up having an emergency C-section when my son’s heartbeat dropped.... after which he required resuscitation. The silence in the OR until he started breathing felt…

Graham explained that she chose to deliver her son at home in a birthing pool knowing that her “anxiety would’ve been through the roof” at a hospital because she doesn’t like hospitals, joking that “there’s a really big granola girl” inside of her.

but she isn’t “reducing rap” she is discussing how it is in some songs by people she knows, and thats how she knows they are lying. This seems to be more of a hit piece than genuine. saying that some songs in any genre have a problematic element is not reducing the entire genre.

But...Carly Simon is a better singer than Kermit. (I love Kermit, though.)

Really, it’s a testament to Russell and Hawn’s insane levels of charisma that the movie works in any way at all.

Poor Alec, always losing out to Harrison!

I kind love that the casting of Michael J Fox (and professional asshole Richard Jordan as “Uncle Howard”) is basically the only thing that keeps Brantley from being the villain. I mean, damn, he begs his roundabout sort-of uncle for a job, he gives him one, then using mail-room knowledge fraudulently sets himself up…

It is a fun movie. One of my favorite trivia about it is that the one kid didn’t have anything in the script about him being obsessed with Pee-Wee Herman, the kid just wouldn’t stop doing impressions the whole time he was on set and they finally gave up and just wrote it into the movie. But it’s clearly a…

Overboard is one of this movies where you’re like, “aw, that was a sweet movie”, and then you actually think the premise through a bit...and then you have to say, "what the fucking fuck, Kurt Russell?" 

“the curiously long list of rom-coms that prove their romantic lead is a good guy because he doesn’t rape an incapacitated woman when given the chance”

Yes! The whole wedding scene (“it’s like paradise with little...gold...palm trees”) is just aces. Ricki Lake being a bridesmaid is icing on the cake.

And I love how he knows to ask “Liz? Beth?” like he’s used that tactic before so he better know that Elizabeth is actually Bitsy.

Tough call for sure. You can’t go wrong either way. 

I’d put Dangerous Liaisons just ahead of WG, but agree with the rest.

This one had a lot less incest

I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

One of the best movie theme songs ever.  I almost said the best, but then I remembered “The Rainbow Connection”.

The gimmick of the final scene is painfully unrealistic (how many people would Tess have had to speak to - discuss plans, discuss pay, discuss whatever - before she actually walked into that office?) but her triumph is so great that it doesn’t matter in the moment.

Wade’s script is incredibly smart about the way classism can intersect with feminism, limiting the bonds of sisterhood along particular social lines. The wealthy, well-bred Katharine represents the kind of woman who’s willing to operate within a sexist system so long as she can make it work to her advantage.
