Iggy is such a loser! Diggy was the cutest one and now he's gone. Oh my. I'm in love with Dean now. I went from zero to hero. Not sure I'm turning back. I'm a little tipsy right now You know I was never into Will but then when someone said "he reads like, 6 books a day"? Shit. I'm feeling him now. And that quiet guy who rode the horses with Rachel? Don't know his name? Oh my god he's so hot and reminds me of someone. (Googled: Anthony). Something about him really, really reminds me of someone famous.... or like a model or something... Tyson Beckford?!

I get so so so much pleasure out of recommending something, and someone else enjoying it. Thanks for reporting back. I'm glad you did enjoy it. "How Do You Know" SOUNDS like my dream movie. Romantic comedy, baseball, Owen Wilson, and Paul Rudd? But for the life of me I couldn't get through it. I wonder if I should try again. I only saw "This Means War" for the first time this year. I think I saw it RIGHT after Chris Pine was on SNL, because he was so damn good and cute on that. And man, I REALLY enjoyed it!

To me it was fine because he was speaking to an American. Sure, Canadians don't walk around and talk to each other like, "Nice weather we're having here in Ontario, eh?" but to an American or anyone not from Canada I could see identifying the place as such. But yeah, definitely there to make the American audience feel comfortable. I don't understand why book talk is so allowed and freely used here. I don't think people understand if we haven't read the book yet we don't want to know anything about it. Some people mention the book every single time they post. I read Big Little Lies before the show premiered, and now that I'm on the other side of things, I totally get how annoying it is for people who haven't read the book. I have to quickly skip over every time you guys post about it.

Sure, I understand that it's a nice coincidence. But I just wanted to point out that Canada is certainly known for welcoming refugees which is why it made sense in 1984 (if that was in the book) and the show filming in 2016 (or whenever it did) and it coincidentally also makes sense for right now.

It's not like it's the only time Canada has welcomed refugees.

Mike and the team had Leon West's diary in possession so I didn't get why they didn't just blackmail Leon with that. I guess nothing that Leon wrote would be nearly as interesting or desired or as important as Mike's because of Selina.

Never said it was.

Nah, I'll say what I want.

But I am responding to Natalie68, who did say Chinese food.

China has over a billion people. The cultures, dialects, foods are incredibly diverse. There's also Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Singapore, etc. where Chinese people are born and are from. Carole has probably never stepped into Chinatown before that moment. How would she know whether she likes Chinese food or not? It's such a blanket statement. Do you think people say they don't like American food? Wouldn't that be a naive comment, since it encapsulates so much variety and everyone makes food differently? Dim sum is not known for being spicy. It's breakfast. I'm sure many people have eaten dumplings. Some people are xenophobic and don't like to learn about other cultures. That doesn't mean that I have to admire that about a person. I straight up do not. I find it incredulous. I don't consider myself a foodie or adventurous and yet I have had dozens of different cuisines in my life because that's normal for someone living in a metropolitan city. Having the food of a different culture won't harm you, unless you have a specific allergy to an ingredient used in it. To the poster who said ordering Chinese food isn't "real" Chinese food. Not at all my argument. I was showing that it was part of American popular culture since at least the 1980s to show people ordering food from Chinese restaurants even in a small non-cosmopolitan town yet 50+ Carole living in cosmopolitan NYC in 2017 looked uncomfortable in Chinatown. To me that says a lot about a person.

Except, I backed up my opinion with paragraphs of evidence, and you just disagreed without any at all. It's not "pretending" when I state my opinion and give evidence as to why I state it. It's also not "ridiculous".

There were no FOODIES in the 90s (at least, not the way it is now with Instagram and Yelp) and yet characters on 1990s Americans sitcoms made a HUGE point of ordering Chinese food left and right, CONSTANTLY. They even ordered it on Roseanne, a show started in the 80s, which was based in Illinois. CAROLE. LIVES. IN. NEW. YORK. To pretend there isn't a racial tinge to the way she was acting in Chinatown is ridiculous! I've been to NYC ONCE and I've been to Chinatown in NYC. How has it not interested her all this time? She hasn't had DIM SUM? It's 2017! This has nothing to do with not being a foodie. I'm not a foodie, I don't care about food, yet living in Toronto I've had most cuisines possible. Indian, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hakka, Szechuan, Jamaican, Korean, Caribbean at large, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Laotian, Malaysian (This is all in Toronto. I'm talking about the types of foods that are most popular in my city. This is part of regular life. And I have a looooooot of allergies. Starting with I can't even eat eggs or milk.) Jesus. Maybe when I was 16 I hadn't , but now I certainly have. Being an adult. She's 53.

She probably screams in Bachelorette too.

Kirsten definitely screams at people in Bring it On and is kind of a bitch, so I think I agree. (I'm not DISSING the movie so please don't come after me)

Why is that a bad thing, though? Nigel being out of touch and a barely disguised racist really bothered me in past years to the point where I quit the show.

Okay I guess it's because I'm Canadian. Apparently it expanded to us in 2010 which is why it took until now for some of us to use it and took me like a year of me pushing it on my parents for them to accept the plan. Which is why you guys are addressing me as a Netflix luddite I guess I just don't see it being related to independence coming from a family where a lot of money is shared and 1 account is so cheap anyways and is meant to be shared. Maybe I am not independent because I haven't thrown my parents off my account and given the password to some sexy guys I've met or something ;)

That's awesome and makes good sense! How was he?

Plus Luke's just so cute and charming :)

I thought this joke was very strange. - In Canada even the most basic plan I believe is $9.99 which allows 2 people to use it at all times. You'd be incredibly stupid NOT to give out your password to someone. I have a friend who let me and 4 other people use his basic account for 2 years. You're going to buy a Netflix account and have the option to let another person use it legally and you're going to horde the password to yourself? (To have a Sober Account and a Drunk Account, like some people do? LOL) For just 12.99 (yes I sound like I work for them) an entire family of four can use it legally at the same time. - Who gets their Netflix account from their parents? Generation Z, yes, because they won't have credit cards, but no one else. I bought a Netflix account and let my parents use mine. How would my parents know about Netflix before me? I had to teach them. Tone-deaf. As written by someone who doesn't know how Netflix works.

Richard: Oh. I just remembered. I have photographic memory I have a friend who was eating very light until she got pregnant and then she was constantly like "This baby just wants meat and protein!" She'd constantly be devouring steak and eggs. Julia Louis Dreyfus has kept up a long working relationship with him ever since that Seinfeld episode, "The Junk Mail" (I'm the Wiz and noooooobody beats me!). This guy also showed up as a drunk limo driver in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Cringeworthy today. "I hoped that my sons would be gay because gay people are sentenced to a life of miserable singledom living with their mothers." She thought gay men didn't have relationships or independency or grow up? Very, very weird comment. And is it supposed to be hip, fun, or cool that she made it clear she favoured her sons over her daughters? Um...... how liberal!? Except not?!

Meredith has NO IDEA - NONE - that it might be offensive to ask two gay men whether they are scared they might have a gay child and has NO IDEA that it might be offensive to suggest that it would be a bad thing for them to have a gay child. ... But I keep reminding myself.... it's 12 years ago? Anyway, it's hard for me to see Meredith as any kind of hero through my 2017 lens. For me, it's Luke Wilson's character. Sorry, I see absolutely nothing wrong with anything he did or said. He's pretty much perfect to me. And he is sweet to Meredith from the get-go for what seem to be purely selfless reasons. I think Rachel is better here, and in Red Eye, than in Wedding Crashers. At least she has her own agency. She has her own personality, her own wants, and desires. In Wedding Crashers her character is the most cliched caricature of a female character as written by a man. Has absolutely no mind of her own, is incredibly passive, is with an abusive man who doesn't treat her well nor likes her, and seems to have no inkling to change that until A Wonderful Man Comes Along to Save Her. I do think that movie is hilarious, but her character is its worst flaw.

That's so funny. I'm an SJP fan, and that's the SJP movie I find the most dreadful. LOL. Just shows you how different people's tastes are. Anyways, I rewatched this movie just because I know people reference it so much on Twitter and because it's so controversial here. I can totally see why people think Diane and Rachel's characters were assholes. However, Meredith's little speech about how she wouldn't want her kid to be gay? Extremely, extremely cringe-worthy today in 2017. However, I could totally see being at dinner with someone speaking like that. I've been at many dinners where someone said something so offensive it blew my mind. I stay inside my radical-left Twitter bubble and I can be naive. And I try to remember the movie was 12 years ago. But for me, Meredith was not perfect. But the family were assholes to her UNTIL THAT SPEECH, and that made no sense. I could see being weird to her AFTER, not BEFORE. BTW some people were asking what the officer character could see in Rachel McAdams's character. Well, to me she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Even in this movie, she is just so stunning. That jawline. That photo of Diane Keaton? Looks so so so much like Lisa Kudrow to me.

Ugh, you brought tears to my eyes! I guess there's crying in this thread....

Exaggerations and hyperboles are fine and make me laugh, but when people make the hyperbole about THEMSELVES and how THEIR lives/struggles are the 'worst ever' then I'm sorry but it DOESN'T make me laugh and it just makes everyone not take you seriously. I know some people think their struggles are the worst ever and think they feel things so much deeper than others, but honestly, now that I'm an adult I realize I can't really be around people like that and I don't have to. One of my friends has a sort of catchphrase that sticks with me. "You don't know what another person is going through in their life." And it's just simply put, true.... I have a hard time standing anyone who makes it seem like their drama is so much worse than others'. It's not even that I want to disagree, or argue, or compete, and I don't even have anything against Bethanny. I just can't be around it. (I think Ramona is terrible, though.) Bethanny I can enjoy as a television presence..... unless she pulls the shit like she did against Luann (and Jules) last season.
