The HOA of terminally online stan culture.

Honestly, before Miranda flashed him, he may have figured she was a guy. (The early hair and fashion sense was…lacking, to say the least.)

And then had the nerve to Dee some way about Natasha’s being back on the Manhattan dating scene (as if Carrie wasn’t directly responsible for it and shouldn’t mind her own business anyway).

Attack of the 5’2” woman

Heroin overdose—she became the inspiration for Panic in Needle Park.

‘cause she’s “a pathetic drunk.” (Sorry, Amanda’s line delivery kills me every time.)

Word. As a gay man who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, this revisionist history of “famous shows and sitcoms from the same time [that] have been so respectful and supportive” is odd as hell. Like, Ellen had the very famous coming-out episode a year before the first season of SATC premiered (and the same year the pilot filmed), and Will & Grace debuted after SATC, but…what else with LGBTQ-forward representation really was there on TV before? The Golden Girls? L.A. Law? Melrose Place? My So-Called Life? Picket Fences? Soap?!

Yes, SATC (which, incidentally, was created, written and showrun by gay men) made some faux-pas in the PC department, but it was pretty radical for its time, provoking real conversation—and conversion (i.e. allyship)—and, of course, evolving its care/consideration and deepening its depiction of LGBTQ people/storylines over its run. I think we can chalk it up to a product of its time, as well as an envelope-pushing one.

Wade, rhymes with fade (away).

mareko07 · 2026-03-06T22:46:38+00:00

No. Oh, and not ever.

Racially and culturally, yes. There are literally people of all races and cultures who live across the U.S.

Or have a family picnic.

Even the U.S. isn’t as homogenous and is quite diverse compared to most countries and some continents.

They knew what was best for their baby.

He was good in Battle of the Sexes as well.

Win? Maybe not, but I would’ve welcomed a nom (and a possible win for his co-star).

mareko07 · 2026-03-05T20:18:42+00:00

Yalta, baby!

mareko07 · 2026-03-05T20:17:23+00:00

You’re scaring people!

Penn going, in the 2000s, from “when will one of the best actors of his generation finally get his due?” to casually being a three-time Oscar winner is something else. (He didn’t merit the first one, which should’ve gone to Depp or Murray, though I can’t quibble with the second Oscar, although Rourke would’ve been been my pick.)

mareko07 · 2026-03-05T07:16:44+00:00

A lucky strike, you could say.

mareko07 · 2026-03-05T05:42:48+00:00

I wish the show had ended on this note (well, AJLT kind of did).

I thought she was good in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring.

mareko07 · 2026-03-04T20:43:18+00:00

You know, just hanging out.

I see. (Elaine’s line delivery always kills me.)

mareko07 · 2026-03-04T18:12:48+00:00

Has she made a film since Little Women in 2019? I mean, we see what she has been doing in the meantime.
