    Previous Seasons Talk

    in RuPaul's Drag Race

    And every time he mentions his son, I can only think, "What poor girl slept with this idiot?"

    ETA just watching the finale judging panel and Merle just said, "I think Tyra is very intelligent." I literally screamed "What?!" alone in my apartment. Where's Michelle? She never would have fallen for Tyra's lockjaw, monotone bullshit.

    It's taking everything in me to not live post my S2 watch. I'm on ep 9 with the Diva awards -- WHY does Ru love Tyra so much? She's stank garbage!! And her "drag mom" in the previous ep looked terrible!! She should have been in the bottom.

    Even worse than I thought, if the schedules I just checked are right, they're skipping two weeks, coming back with just one episode, then off for a month before coming back for the final three, in a new time slot. How does that make sense? 

    I was going to say something about 'scheduling monkeys' but then I remembered that mokneys are intelligent, social creatures and this is straight madness!!

    Sabrina in the Media

    in Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

    Apparently my opinions on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are not the same as everyone else, since I don't agree with either option in the very first question.  Although I am in the majority on the issue of resurrecting the dead.  Warning, spoilers.

    Spoiler

    Also, Mildred's death wasn't so much "scary" as "gross".  Is this a spoiler?  I honestly don't think I knew her name until Faustus said it when she dropped to the ground.

    S01.E10: Chapter Ten: The Witching Hour

    in Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

    I just finished the series last night.  Weirdly the thing that bothers me the most (although not the only thing that bothers me) is the Kinkle family owning the mine.  In fact, everything relating to the mine bothered me.  First, if they owned a mine, they would be relatively wealthy and they wouldn't actually work the mine.  I mean, I admit that most of my knowledge of mining is from watching the first few seasons of Justified but ... seriously.  Second, I understand the retro aesthetic of the show but the 1940s coal-mining equipment is pushing it a bit too far. Third, if there is a mine collapse the owner can't just declare everyone dead after like 24 hours and hold a funeral.  The general absence of police or any authority/regulatory officials in the whole show is jarring but COME ON.  I can suspend my disbelief on the School for Unseen Arts more readily than for that.

    I agree that Sabrina is a weak link in the show.  I appreciate her being confident and pushing forward despite odds but resurrecting the dead is beyond the pale in any understanding of the world.  The fact that she did it, that she thought she could outwit the balance of nature by offering a soul and then taking it back, is a level of confidence too far.  She really thinks the rules don't apply to her and I don't know that the fallout was enough for her to get it.  The very next episode, within thirty seconds of Hilda saying "I can't hold this much longer", she abandoned her!!  Like, WTH??

    How did it take me until now to realize that was said by an all-knowing, all-seeing judge?

    She probably has no idea who these actresses are, and she definitely doesn’t know what movies they’ve lead. Hey girl! Just because you’ve never heard of Rom Coms with black female leads doesn’t mean they don’t exist or that they weren’t successful.

    I never DISliked her. It's weird but for a theater fan and former choir kid, I never watched any of the Pitch Perfect movies. I did watch Super Fun Night (which was mostly painfully unfunny) and How to Be Single (which was mostly fine but she was just doing her regular shtick). 

    That said, back down, girl. Just take the L. It's only becoming a thing because you're making it a thing. Also, I love The Last Holiday. Queen Latifah and LL Cool J are adorable together. Been a fan of them since Living Single.

    I never got the Rebel love. As others have said, painfully unfunny and rather desperate. The admittedly few things I've seen her in she always seemed to be an unpleasant person.

    This reminds me of the time she was on Graham Norton with Matt LeBlanc & Kit Harrington (? - Jon Snow) and was so consistently and determinedly proud of her ignorance of Friends, Game of Thrones, and popular entertainment generally that Matt LeBlanc snapped at her. She's just vulgar and stupid.

    I've never seen Sweet Home Alabama and it sounds like I shouldn't bother. 

    My favorite rom-com is The Wedding Singer but we already discussed that one so my second fave is Notting Hill. I know Julia Roberts is a bitca for at least a good 3/4 of that movie but I still love it. I mean we have Hugh Grant and his charming British friends and honestly they could have ended it with them not getting together and I would still love it. The real romance was between his sister and Rhys Ifans anyway. They were so cute.

    I want to defend Julia/Anna but the "having a boyfriend" thing in the first half is pretty bad. Her reaction with the paps is also pretty bad but the very fact that Spike did sell her out kind of says something about her life as a whole and why she would have a panic reaction there. And I swear I saw Julia interviewed where she was genuinely shocked that anyone believed the line to her costar on set (which Hugh heard through headphones) was sincere. 

    I was more annoyed by the Spike/sister romance that came out of nowhere and he's gross.

    I can only watch the first half of You've Got Mail because I HATE that Joe puts Kathleen out of business and then they end up together.  She's right when she said it was personal to her and I wish there had been a way for her to keep the store or for them not to end up together.  When she reveals to him that closing the store made her feel like her mother had died all over again that was it.  NO WAY should she have given Joe the time of day.  I know they have a line about Kathleen writing children's books to let us know that she'll be ok but I don't care.  Even the charm of Tom Hanks (who I adore and if the movie had just been him playing with his brother and aunt I'd have been happy) wasn't enough to save Joe.

    I love how dated that movie is -- the dial-up boings, the AOL product placement. Not to mention that "Fox Books" definitely filed for bankruptcy within a decade!

    Timothee Chalamet is surprisingly good casting for Steve Carell's son.

    I didn't find Steve Carrell particularly handsome until he went full silver fox (I think around the promotion of Foxcatcher?) but awww, look at little Stevey!

    Rebel Wilson is totally tanking the promotion for this movie, because she's blocking a whooooooooooole bunch of black women on Twitter for pointing out to her that she's NOT "the first plus sized woman to star in a romantic comedy", like she's claimed.  She's claimed it while promoting the movie, you can Google this to see if you don't believe it!  You can also Google this issue for some great articles that list all the women who have done it before her - most namely, Queen Latifah (several times over), Ricki Lake, Mo'Nique, arguably Toni Collette in Muriel's Wedding, Nikki Blonsky, and some others.  People keep mentioning Amy Schumer, but she looks like a size 4 or 6 to me, so I don't really accept her as an example.

    I was interested in the movie at first, but seeing Rebel's behaviour these past few weeks, it's just atrocious, and there's no way I'm paying even 1 cent to see it now.

    I hope the movie is a bomb!

    Goddamn it! Can we not have one simple, non-problematic thing?! I just want to see Liam Hemsworth shirtless -- is that too much to ask?

    I can't stand Rebel Wilson but I will make an exception for a romantic comedy parody. Liam Hemsworth is perfect casting for the type of guy that would have been the "perfect" one for the lead heroine, until she realizes what she wants all along is the imperfect dude that's been under her nose all along.

    The Hemsworths really don't mind poking fun at themselves, do they? I like it!
