I understood the plot. I just found the final scene extremely silly and overwrought. Do I have your permission to maintain this opinion, Siskel and/or Ebert? Thanks for reminding me of why I don’t ever talk about movies online anymore.

I wonder how many of the people who destroyed Woodstock 99 are now conservative local politicians who do shit like defund schools and launder that money to buy themselves a solid gold vape

The Fave was fun but the ending was soooo dumb ugh. Hand jobs unto eternity, I guess?

I recently had to deal with a very wealthy distant family member on a contentious financial matter, and he seemed shocked that we didn’t just like have an attorney on retainer at all times. As in, he was annoyed that I needed a few days to research a solution he proposed because I couldn’t just turn to my lawyer for an…

Everything is a middle finger to contractors. Contracting sucks. White collar caste bullshit.

I mean...that’s basically what they’re doing, right? That’s the subtext? 

I’m aware of all that. You’re missing the broader point. They’re making a profit. That’s how they’re able to build loss into their budget. That means they’re operating at higher margins than they need to. If profit wasn’t part of the equation, I wouldn’t have been stuck with a $50k bill in the first place. (That bill…

Wow! Thanks for the life lesson, Dad. I never realized that human beings have individual personalities. Thanks for telling me that!

Oh for sure. And I recognize that the only reason that debt got cleared at all is because I have the wherewithal, bestowed upon me by multiple race and class privileges, to navigate a situation like that in a way that makes people want to help me. But the fact that they were able to just poof it all gone says a lot to…

I’m sure she has some losers hanging around “helping” her “put looks together.” And if not, that actually makes me feel even more sorry for her. Cause an isolated trophy wife like her usually doesn’t have many friends outside her glam squad. But I think this “Melania does everything for herself” narrative is part of…

Fun story. My brother isn’t quite as wealthy as TPain but still didn’t lift a finger when I was in $50k of medical debt. I took care of it not through the generosity of a family member but through the folly of man. I called the hospital billing office to get on a payment plan and the customer service dude I spoke to…

Whereas you have met all those thousands of people and know their heart of hearts, I suppose? Or are you making the same sort of assumption I am, but it’s ok because you’re being nice?

To have power over other people and feel gratified by that power. To participate in a system that is unjust and unfair. To live up to your own self image as a person to be feared rather than someone who is afraid.

Just as restraining orders are useless, men aren’t going to voluntarily stop killing women. For that to happen, men would have to stop seeing women as objects for their control, and that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

I’d say that she needs to fire her stylist, but she’s probably scraping the very bottom of the barrel as it is. I cannot imagine the tragic assholes who think working for Melania is a plum job.

That’s not how you use a semicolon. You aren’t as smart as you think you are.

I wasn’t going to reply to you because this kind of vapid nonsense doesn’t deserve the light of day, but I guess some other asshole gave you your little star. So I’ll say this: Why are you people always talking about the fucking constitution?

Thanks for reminding me to watch the original series. I don’t really fuck around with American TV drama anymore. Way too self-serious. But I’ve been interested in the general story of the show. Forgot about the original!

Or because you’re having an anxious reaction. There’s a reason “fight or flight” is now known as “fight, flight, or freeze”

Yeah I thought it was pretty clear after the election that it was rich motherfuckers who made up Trump’s voter base. They may not show up to his rallies, but they sure did show up to the polls for him. Lower-income folks voted heavily for Clinton. Would be nice if we all worked from the same set of facts rather than a…
