He wasn’t cast because the studio wanted a bigger name...hence Kevin Spacey in terrifying makeup. Ridley wanted Plummer from the very beginning.

I hugged her once at a fundraiser. Pretty much peaked at life in that moment, as the next moment was spent attempting to make words that didn’t make any sense whatsoever. Just sputtering nonsense.

The term that marketers like to use is “ethnish”—you can’t quite tell what ethnicity they are, but they’re definitely not lily-white. The first time I heard the phrase my jaw dropped to the floor but it is used CONSTANTLY.

I work in Hollywood and SO MANY PEOPLE keep going on and on about “Venit’s not gay, he’s totally straight and has a wife and kids, this was just a guy joking around...blah blah blah.” Those people are fundamentally missing the issue. It’s not about sex or sexuality. It’s power. It’s all about power. Venit would have…

It’s literally the plot to Madame Secretary (except the former head of the CIA is President, she’s just a good operative). I want to hit Drumpf over the head with a giant cartoon-y bat that says TELEVISION IS NOT REAL LIFE in giant neon letters, though I doubt it would do the trick. However, it would still give me the…

My friend and I were once walking home quite toasted and I started singing this song to inspire her and then she drunkenly got mad that it wasn’t a feminist song so I changed all the lyrics to “Be a woman”—it wasn’t the best spur-of-the-moment singing but I was proud of my ingenuity.

That is the most surprisingly chill cat. How is that man not being clawed to death from frame 1?

I am crying at the office. This is amazing. And accurate.

I saw it recently and it’s a bit of both. It’s insanely clear that she was her own worst enemy, but that she also had a shitty hand dealt to her. It’s also just a hilarious film.

There’s a conspiracy theory going around Hollywood that it’s cross-promotion with American Vandal (the mock-crime-documentary with the tagline “Who Drew the Dicks?”). It’s my favorite thing.

Work in the film industry, read the script.

They’ve been trying to get it off the ground for a while as a feature but Garth Nix wrote a script that is not good so it’s pretty much been shelved for a bit until someone figures that out.

I did not know there was a correct order of the ? and the !. Extremely excited to start correcting people.

Seriously. Wtf is that shit?

I wanted to be a criminal psychologist because of BD Wong in L&O: SVU. It turns out that a character cannot actually prepare you to deal with real-live serial killers.

Yeah, my interpretation was that the last conversation she had with Littlefinger was where she realized what was going on and THEN plotted with Arya.

Our cat was getting a little chunky when we got a new kitten. He got in shape REAL QUICK.

I love listening to the BBC because I get so much more world news and there aren’t inane panelists qualifying themselves as news sources. Additionally, their constant disbelief at the state of US politics is fairly amusing. They can’t seem to understand how there is never ending batshittery coming out of Washington.

Ugh, this guy lives way too close to me. I’ve definitely run by this house and it looks like a piece of shit. There are teenagers just hanging out around there ALL THE FUCKING TIME and they get absurdly loud at the weirdest hours.

The one good thing about it is that usually if I’m eating an entire pint of ice cream at least the last 2/3 are out of boredom. With Ben & Jerry’s, I will then feel terrible and slightly guilty. This way, I feel less guilty. The salted caramel and the chocolate are not half bad either. The lemon cake flavor is bizarre…
