Craig did a show that was just an hour long chat with Stephen Fry- no monologue, no other guests. I have more respect for Craig than I do for most other hosts. (Any non-Colbert, non-Stewart hosts).

Baby Face is amazing. I also have a soft spot for The Purchase Price- Stanwyck, a nightclub singer, flees her no good gangster boyfriend by signing up as a mail order bride for a North Dakota farmer.

Ahhh…. Remember the Night! My favorite Stanwyck-MacMurray pairing.

I understand what you're saying. As a woman, though, it's hard for me rustle up much empathy. Men (some men, to be clear) are upset because they used to be 100% in control and now it's only 75%? It's like Southern plantation owners in 1866- I get that that's a tough transition, but I have zero sympathy. Men can't

I'll bite- how/why do you think this movie is unwatchable? I think it's enormous amounts of fun. I don't even think it's that dated- not like, say, The Women, which you have to see as a period piece to get through its gender politics. The most "dated" moment I can think of is Stanwyck and Fonda in the train car,

Don't be filthy minded. It's perfectly innocent, like the snake wriggling through the letters in the title credits.

Some folks used to say there was evil at the old Johnson place, and that them city slickers that moved in would come to no good. On windy nights, you could hear old man Johnson rapping his cane. But then they replaced the windows in ought-seven and it turns out it was just warped frames.

I loved it. The goofy dumbness of that joke, the way she giggled when no one else got it and hopped a little bit. I get that YMMV, but I was instantly charmed.

She reminded me of Lineysha, too, until Untucked. I do think it would be hilarious if they started filling the standard "Puerto Rican queen who doesn't speak English and has no clue what's happening 90% of the time" with an American queen who's so dumb that she has no clue what's happening 90% of the time.

Or the second annual RuPaul Roast.

As another fairly conventional biological woman, I don't think it's something we really have to worry about. I think it's more of a Kardashian koncern- only a problem for people whose klothes are all klingy spandex and a few sizes too small.

Especially because it seemed like Magnolia wasn't lip synching the words- it seemed like she was just moving her mouth. And it didn't seem like she missed a verse here or there- she did that the entire song, even for lyrics she obviously knew.

And the Beyonce shout out.

I still hate Roxxxy most.

I was waiting for Ru to pull out "Yeah, that's why we call it a challenge".

It also felt like insecurity, like "I'm not going to win so I'm going to pretend this whole process is stupid and I don't care". It made me uncomfortable, and a bit sad for her.

The beard reminded me of photos I've seen of Matthu Anderson (Ru's makeup artist- he usually shows up in the final episode or two). I don't think it was as big of a risk as the editing made it seem. And especially not when sharing the runway with Darienne and Magnolia.

RIGHT??!?!?! I LOVE her!! She's so goofy and fun and sweet. Her laugh, her total lack of filter, and her Worcester accent are all adorable. She seems like everything I hoped Jade would be last season- sweetness and light, wrapped in a dude, wrapped in women's clothing. Lisa Frank personified. (Oooh- Lisa Frank

I really liked her intro: "I'm Seattle's prettiest… urg, I'm not that pretty". It was disappointing that she wound up being so defensive and unpleasant, and so unwilling to hear any amount of feedback. It goes beyond Drag Race 101 and into Reality TV 101.

Ben Stiller Show is great- I'd also argue the State has a pretty good ratio. Just this morning on the subway I was humming: SEVERE AND CHRONIC POST TRAUMA RELATED ANXIETY REACTIVATED MANIC AGORATISPONTIPHOBIA!!
