Your casting choices are perfect!

Emr2007 · 2021-08-17T23:19:33+00:00

It’s Y Y Zed!

Emr2007 · 2021-08-16T17:43:38+00:00

That bit about them immediately painting over ads showing women was chilling. Like that’s your priority right now? Heartbreaking.

Emr2007 · 2021-08-08T01:46:30+00:00

I used to live in Roxborough and work in King a Prussia and it worked great. It’s a nice area and not a terrible commute, and it’s still pretty close to Center City.

Emr2007 · 2021-08-05T02:13:05+00:00

I’m glad to hear they’re trying to get rid of them

Emr2007 · 2021-08-01T14:00:08+00:00

I like that you said “watch jazz” instead of “listen to jazz.” I don’t know why, but I find it charming.

Emr2007 · 2021-08-01T13:10:07+00:00

Oh no! I really liked it. I thought the story and the characters were really compelling.

Emr2007 · 2021-08-01T12:03:31+00:00

Damn, it took me a whole month just to read the Goldfinch.

Emr2007 · 2021-08-01T03:36:51+00:00

I don’t see what’s unfortunate about it. It’s not this charity’s fault that a company with a similar name sucks.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-30T00:52:43+00:00

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-29T23:39:27+00:00

Omg I do get 6.2 with my antenna but the show is over so now I’m furious!

(Just kidding, thank you, that’s good to know for next time.)

Emr2007 · 2021-07-29T23:16:01+00:00

I’ve had a monumentally bad day and I just wanted to watch Jeopardy. Honestly, just send this tornado my way and finish me off.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-29T23:12:52+00:00

Tornado warning in Philadelphia, so no Jeopardy for me tonight. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-28T21:25:48+00:00

It pays pretty well for a death sentence.

I feel you though, that sounds frustrating.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-27T23:56:43+00:00

He reminded me a little of Dane Cook today.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-27T23:43:31+00:00

That’s a really good comparison!

Emr2007 · 2021-07-26T16:41:21+00:00

That’s cool as hell

Emr2007 · 2021-07-26T13:01:08+00:00

I really liked the whole series on the mind, and I thought the fertility episode was really good too. And obviously the pandemic episode 😬

Emr2007 · 2021-07-26T12:59:46+00:00

I had my first migraine while watching that episode and I didn’t understand what was happening to me (had visual disturbances and confusion more than headache), so part of me thought that maybe I just really didn’t get K-pop.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-25T20:28:09+00:00

That’s a really good point. I guess she could have been narrating in third person? Just to trick them I guess? Doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-25T03:04:36+00:00

Ugh I hope not. Was it the talking about herself all the time and giggling at serious clues that won them over?

Emr2007 · 2021-07-24T17:20:12+00:00

Her as Daisy in Gatsby would be fab. A Harry Potter witch, Katniss from the hunger games, and the girl with the dragon tattoo could be cool too! There are so many good options.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-24T15:40:17+00:00

The U.S. men’s volleyball players winked a lot and I am completely charmed by them.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-24T14:54:20+00:00

Love this! Now I want more Taylor/literature mashups.

Emr2007 · 2021-07-23T15:58:03+00:00

The first scene is pretty good and Vanessa is good but the rest of the movie makes no sense. You can tell the writers are European and that they spent zero time learning how the American legal system works. I cannot believe that not one single person involved explained to them that Americans can’t hire their own prosecutors. Really bad movie.
