This review is making me want to watch this movie purely out of Y2K nostalgia…but I’m sure I can find better examples from the same time period. 

I didn’t “read” Heartburn, but instead listened to the audiobook narrated by Meryl Streep, who played Nora in the movie adaptation. Highly recommend. I suspect I wouldn’t have enjoyed it nearly as much if I’d taken it in the traditional way.

Ah, thanks for the intel. I don’t comment much here (I’m only out of the greys on Jezebel). 

Yep. Kendall’s read all the books, bought all the toys…

Uh, I think you’re yelling at the wrong person. All I pointed out out that it was a sitcom trope, so not any “dorkier” than any other aspects of the genre. And yes, I understand that it’s different when both characters are Black (I think I’ve seen some interracial ones on tv, but I can’t recall off the top of my…

She’s a Democrat. 

Isn’t that basically the arc of every sitcom romance? Tony and Angela, Sam and Diane, Daphne and Niles, etc, etc…

They did the same thing with Hairspray. 

He’s so far in it, he’s probably written Suri off as a suppressive person based on how she is being raised by his ex.

Rihanna’s fans are informally, collectively known as the Navy. Not sure why. 

Just like I think we both watched a different clip, I think we both interpreted this interaction completely differently. Goodnight. 

Yep, it was a big deal when Oreos went kosher. The Jewish press had a field day with think pieces on what it meant to be able to indulge — finally! — in this formerly forbidden delight. 

I am being completely honest — and you can look at my commenting history if you don’t believe me (not that I am suggesting you waste your time by doing so) — I am debating in good faith. I am not trying to win points. We were having what I thought was a regular back and forth until you kinda snapped at me. 

I’m aware of how comedy works, thanks.

Oh, for sure. My point is more about what Scientology does for his sense of self worth when everyone jumps to meet his every desire wherever he is, paid or not, member of the cult or not  

I’m not in any way suggesting my childhood is comparable the Francis Ford Coppola’s grandkid.

She has a younger sister, so the babysitter is likely more for her benefit, but as a sixteen-year-old, she’s still probably rolling her eyes at the indignity of it all. 

Okay, but as a Hollywood megastar, isn’t his power outside of Scientology also pretty ridiculous? I get what you’re saying — especially because he is the absolute king of Scientology vs. one of several top stars in the real world — but Leah Remini’s coffee example maybe isn’t the best one given the number of…

I know. But I don’t think it’s necessarily a terrible thing that they are working out of town — and I don’t think Romy does either. She’s not exactly making a movie a year; he’s not going to be on tour forever.

Eh, I’m pretty sure the whole thing was joking/tongue-in-cheek/designed to piss off said parents.
