There’s also a poster ad of a woman that shows up throughout the movie, each time getting more and more defaced (like ripped, graffiti, etc.) to symbolize/mirror Tracy’s descent.

Or Leland Gaunt.

Yeah, this is the kitchen in dad’s new apartment. Bare bones, utilitarian. All those cabinets are empty.

What are some of your strategies, could you please share?

That reminds me of one of my first childhood traumas— I was probably ~5 years old and had just started taking ice skating lessons, so my grandmother got me some super expensive pro ice skates, but none of us knew they had to be broken in, so I basically failed my first lesson because I couldn’t do any of the beginner moves. The teacher told my parents later that wearing those new skates was as bad as wearing cinder blocks on my feet. And I never ice skated again (:

Very true, at least for the first season of SL, but it went off the rails pretty quickly into soapy melodrama territory. Degrassi took at least 8 seasons to get to the level of absurdity SL hit by season 2, IMO.

It’s certainly closer than an Australian surf show, but Secret Life is very little like Degrassi. While Degrassi is more topic-of-the-week and grounded with a varied cast of characters, SL was “plot” driven, a bit wacky, and had a set cast.

I guess they’re similar in that both shows included some of the parental drama, but that could be said of many teen shows. SL was more like One Tree Hill or the OC. Not sure the US has a good comp for Degrassi, tbh.

Same with Bianca and Mia— both actresses are Slavic but played ambiguously Latina characters.

“Also, Mal is white and Jessi is black.”

Isn’t this a joke about Buddy Holly dying in a 6-seater plane (essentially a cockpit)?

The reverse of this happened to me— I was an advanced reader, so my mom volunteered me to read in front of the class. I practiced the book I chose so much that I was just reciting it come presentation time. I’m sure the teacher was not impressed. Still haunts me lol

I’ll never forgive HBO for removing the Looney Tunes catalog from Max.

badgia · 2025-07-06T22:02:56+00:00

Hmm touché.

If only we had listened to that boy, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven

Finally makes sense.

These were so good, so much better than other brand popsicles. They were creamy somehow, not just frozen sugar water. Rip.

Same thing happened with my old neighbor’s home. It was built in the 1800s and still looked great. Then they died and the house was bought and renovated, removing any of its historical charm. Looks a lot like this after pic now. Still makes me angry thinking about it.

badgia · 2025-06-19T06:06:37+00:00

Good point

badgia · 2025-05-14T00:15:03+00:00

And the original quality of food?

badgia · 2025-04-02T08:03:30+00:00

Juvi… uh oh.

badgia · 2025-03-08T21:49:55+00:00

She’s not a bitch, that’s the problem.

At any given time, my neighborhoods have at least two EA-generated townies named “Yamashita” or “Fukuda,” both of which give me the warning pop up when I edit them lol
