And so began Lori Loughlin’s life of crime

You think that’s weird, Harrison Ford has been arrested six times for stealing antiquities from ancient tombs.

So Lori Loughlin helps a guy who doesn’t want to take the SATs get his "skills up to professional level in an impressively short period of time"? It's all starting to make sense.

The world has turned into the Doors’ 1969 fanbase -_- My God, this all sucks so hard, but then, in the middle of this maelstrom, this poor woman has to have her life crushed to death by a bunch of rotten assholes.

I hope they all read this and feel something. Anything.

This is an unbearably sad story and I hope the jackasses who harassed her on social media over a goddamn reality show get charged with murder. 

And?

Yeah, even the examples in the essay here used to paint her as a materialist just sound more like she’s being a realist. 

Yes, Enid seems to miss the middle ground between “If you have a fallback plan, you will fall back,” and “being an artist isn’t a career.” As a teenager that had no choice but to get a job if I wanted money of my own, I was always frustrated by how inflexible Enid is on this.

Yeah, I think the movie is a lot more sympathetic to Becky than Enid by the end.

She was on The Walking Dead this season. I absolutely didn’t recognize her.

Her dad was no picnic, professionally speaking. That didn’t help.

I also Pine for when Birch had a promising career.

This is a great examination of what made Becky work, but I don’t think the movie was as unequivocally anti-”normcore” as you put it. Buscemi essentially lays out out the thesis in the middle of the film when he talks about there being no purity or virtue to being an insular nerd. I think the film does demonstrate that…

She made a strong impression in THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE, released just a couple of months after GHOST WORLD.

Indeed. Birch had American Beauty and Ghost World under her belt and then disappeared.

I loved this movie when it first came out, being 21 and thoroughly misanthropic. Saw it twice in the theater and bought it the day it came out on DVD. Watched it in my late 30s and I couldn’t finish it. I guess the cynicism of the main characters just didn’t resonate with me anymore, or maybe I’m the one who’s more…

Good movie. Johansson’s Becky was a strong point. 

It was rather troubling to me that Herman and Alvin’s feud wasn’t really resolved at the end. Alvin became an overly verbose ass. But no lesson seemed to have been learned there.

Somehow I’m sure all the pyramid marketing schemes in Florida will be just fine.

More importantly, what does Florida intend to do to protect vulnerable MLMs?
