I had to give that track three or four listens the other day while walking through my city in the rain. I couldn’t get enough of it. Same with Is That Alright? Gets me right in the gut. It should be illegal to produce a song with that much emotional impact without a warning label.  

I was shocked at how endearing he was.

You are a better person than me. I do not believe Kellyanne Conway. She is a documented liar with a capacity for egregious, unnecessary lies matched only by her boss. She tried to criticize her own marriage anonymously as a “person familiar with their relationship”.

I too love Grace and knowing she was once married to Mr. Chow only makes me love her more. I assume you’ve seen “The September Issue”? In some respects she upstages Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley, which is impossible for a mere mortal to pull off.

Personally, I think these characters were written as anti-heroes, especially Carrie/SJP because she lives for drama and doesn’t change at all. At the end, she goes back to the destructive relationship that has caused her nothing but heartache. The appeal of the show is women being in charge of their love lives versus…

Aw, I would never intentionally inflict Emilia Clarke’s “acting” on myself outside of already being invested in GOT. So, hard pass. But, otherwise, this seems great.

Alyson Hannigan was there too!

If Roma Downey didn’t throw a punch and then yell, “You just got touched by an angel bitch!” she really missed a golden opportunity.

Aziz Ansari doesn’t deserve the level of vitriol directed at Louis CK et al. CK masturbated to his subordinates then blackballed them with his influence. Aziz Ansari thought he was getting a groupie one night stand, she thought it was a date. Neither of them clarified their expectations for the night. He was an…

Your father bought the drawing room furniture and we must put up with it will Cecil kindly remember. 

I also have a soft spot in my heart (or is it my head), for Mrs. Honeychurch. She seemed rather chill for a starchy, Edwardian upperclass matriarch.

The book was so delightful. I read it while I was traveling and accidentally left it in a hostel in Vienna. I hope someone else picked it up and loved it. 

I am wildly fortunate in that I was fifteen when this movie came out. I am not a big costume drama nerd, but this movie was just the greatest and every scene is scorched into my memory with its astonishing awesomeness. Not having seen it in thirty years, I still remember how horribly awkward it was when Daniel Day…

This movie belongs somewhere on a “best film adaptations of the book” listicle somewhere. The things you like about the story are all from EM Forester’s delightful novel and you can tell everyone in the production understood the book. It’s kinda like the anti-Lolita, an excellent book that apparently no one who has…

I watched it again recently after 25+ years, and it holds up beautifully. Still beautiful and engaging, there’s not a dull moment, and such a great cast. Plus the glorious music. It’s a lovely gem of a movie.

Or Rupert Graves and James Wilby in “Maurice”.... <3

Although, you’re right about the Emma Thompson Sense & Sensibility. Alan Rickman is so wonderful in it.

My four word endorsement: young, naked Rupert Graves. (Not that older, clad silverfoxdaddy Rupert Graves is anything to sneeze at. I am incapable of watching him in Sherlock without blurting out “FUCK, JUST TAKE ME”, which my partner greatly appreciates, I’m sure.)

The importance of Maggie Smith here can’t be overstated. Cousin Charlotte, in the hands of anyone else, may have been just insufferably dour. But the chemistry of Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter’s eye rolling lifts this film above the rest of the very genre revival it spawned.
