same! When it came on the radio the other day, I turned to Mr. Yankee and said, "really? is this for serious?!"

Not that it matters since it didn't win, but I'm confused as to why Yellow Flicker Beat was nominated for best original song in a motion picture rather than The Hanging Tree from Mockingjay. If a song in that movie stood out, it was The Hanging Tree.

Also loved Tina's "the Civil rights movement worked and everything is FINE NOW"

What was with Oprah throwing up her hands and acting like she didn't get the joke every time they showed her?

Tonight's surprise: Steve Carrell is getting hotter by the minute.

Jessica Lang said that because of the bad reception of King Kong, she couldn't get another job and a year after the movie was released she was waiting tables. She only got another film role because she got involved in theater after moving to NYC and Bob Fosse cast her in All That Jazz.

Meryl Streep in Manhattan (1979) She's so beautiful in that movie it hurts to look at her

Ahh so good. Kirk would totally sell Ebola suits out of Luke's...it would be his 43rd job.

Taylor+Kirk+Possible Ebola= A great GG episode we'll never have.

I threw in $100 to a GoFundMe for the shop because that's where my bridesmaids bought their dresses for my wedding. It's a nice shop with very lovely staff and it's good to know that Anna will be able to carry on!

I am happy for them. I also think a rebranding would be good, not just because of the Ebola thing, but because I am a horrible person and "Coming Attractions" sounds like a better name for a "blue movie" or a live sex show than a bridal shop.

(isn't that really quaint? A city saving a bridal shop?)

See what you did, Republicans? Lack of funding for science education is hurting small business now.

I'm assuming from this that you have a penis and if so, normal anatomy limits your ability to pee and ejaculate at the same time. The hole only does one thing at any given moment. Women have a few more things going on and it's not uncommon for there to be confusion about peeing/orgasming/whatever the hell that…

One could argue that exceptionally good customer service is a rare skill.

Letting your kids believe in Santa:

I would never want to minimize Leelah's victimization by spreading some onto the parents, but I don't know how to fucking feel about their (failed) struggle to accept their child. Clearly they were and are stalwartly denying Leelah's identity. But so many parents have a huge grieving process to go through when their…

You are right also. I have a friend who is delightful and wonderfully progressive, and she had a hard time with her daughter becoming her son. She is of course supportive and proud of him, but I think having a trans child was rougher to come to terms with than she would have anticipated.

Still, there is a difference between suicide and murder, and I'm uncomfortable with people behaving as if there isn't and that these parents should be punished further.

I understand where you're coming from too. It's easy as an outsider to just think, "They're ignorant, they were shocked and uncomfortable, they might have thought they were doing the right thing." Obviously their daughter didn't think that (and couldn't have been expected to), and she suffered their discomfort for…
