Hair on stage does not have a story—it’s more like a revue on a theme with some key plot moments thrown in to give it some shape (which works well on stage—if the cast and production are good—but would be nearly impossible to do on film).

No, she knew early on what the big reveal would be (all along Snape had loved Lily) and told Rickman early in the filming.

I thought of this song immediately! It’s from The Most Happy Fella, a ‘50s musical by Frank Loesser (who also wrote Guys and Dolls) and based on a ‘20s play.

Oh God, YES. To both.

I think a lot of this “worship” stemmed from casting such a talented, charismatic and humorous actor to play the role, thus softening Snape’s absolutely unacceptable behavior into “he’s just misunderstood” in the minds of many.

Ugh. Fuck the Snapewives. I hate how they flatten such an interesting character into such masturbation fodder.

And JK has said as much in many interviews. That even though he helped save and protect Harry, that his treatment of Harry, a child, nonetheless constituted cruelty and bullying and he was very grey. The romanticization of Snape drives me crazy. He was a complicated and fascinating character—stop trying to whitewash…

The hell???! Who embraces that block of ice?

That poor, poor fucking kid. (And her siblings.) Jesus, what a horrible situation for her. FUCK YOU, KELLYANNE. Mother of the Year, amirite????

This is why I could never understand why someone didn’t go the fuck off on Richard Hatch on Survivor. That is fucking disgusting. Nobody should be forced to see someone else naked.

Jee. Zuss. W.O.W.

Oh my God, I was JUST about to post that! That insult sounds so...adolescent, they literally said the exact same thing in a “diss” off in Bring It On! You’re a grown-ass woman and that’s your go-to insult? That’s pathetic. And it’s not as if the police aren’t also working class.

I literally LOLed! Perfect.

Girls is an industry term.

I totally remember that letter! Yep, she was read for filth. It’s CANDY, lady. Show some Halloween spirit. I wish I had that “problem”—I ADORE Halloween and only rarely get to hand out the candy (if it’s a weekday, I’m usually at work). It’s such a fun, wonderful holiday, it pisses me off that people have to be…

I have to agree. The violence inflicted on Colette and the children was unfathomable—and the one guy who could fight back was barely slapped on the wrist. That makes no sense whatsoever.

It’s one of the best of that genre, undoubtedly.

Yeah, I didn’t think it was “lackluster” at all. This movie was a huge hit in ‘82 and the JJL character was exactly my age. It was very, very sympathetic to her story—her best friend was giving her terrible advice (lose your virginity as soon as possible), she and her crush have bad sex, she gets pregnant and he…

It’s depressing. She had a very solid career as a child actor—the Witch Mountain franchise (“Tony, why are you using your powers against me?”) was possibly the highwater mark but she had spots in many series of the day, plus was a regular in Hello Larry (shut up, I loved that show) and starred in Tuff Turf (again,…
