I missed half of the movie and was sober during the part I did catch (which I am ashamed to admit) but I’d like to applaud our brave unicorn warriors for carrying forth with this brave endeavor.

As a recent alum of a graduate school of education, I sat in one of my (many) education seminars about Higher Ed listening to people vent their frustration about how they’re complicit in the system while trying to […]

“She can’t act, she can’t sing, and she can’t dance. A triple threat”

Lina Lamont gets a lot of shit in Singin’ in the Rain. She is the villain of the movie, mostly because she is a beautiful, talented silent […]

I learned important lessons from that song: 1) always run from men in bolero jackets, and 2) always wear a sequined bra and miniskirt under everything in case of wardrobe malfunction. Because every disaster has […]

As a kid, anytime I felt any type of emotion, I watched this movie.!–more–

Revisiting this movie as an adult was a complicated experience. Caravan (1971) is definitely tied very much to the time in which it […]

I both love and hate Bollywood.

I get asked how I feel about Bollywood enough to have that kind of vague, but also strong, answer. This is really based on a lot of generalizations, but I’m not exactly […]

I maaaaay write a follow-up like why Lina Lamont is a boss bitch or something like that.

Singin’ in the Rain is one of the first DVDs my family owned; I think we’ve had it for at least 14 years now. The DVD case summary is full of terrible alliterations like, “Extraordinarily exuberant,” and bad plays […]

So I missed the Pmag liveblog of Hannibal because I was on the subway, but I just wanted to share that I have used the word “scaroused” as in scared and aroused to describe Hannibal. Urban Dictionary tells me […]

Earlier this week, Hollywood lost one of its great comedy voices with the passing of Harold Ramis. I certainly won’t be able to equal the wit and pathos he managed to create in his work in my description of the […]

It makes sense if you’ve seen the movie, but if you’re just glancing at the cover, you’re thinking, “this isn’t going to be a Swing Kids situation with the surprise, everyone is dying and it’s way sadder than you […]

I dream of the day where I can find a reason to say, “Oh, I’m not here with these fellas. I’ve got a pig in competition over at the livestock pavilion, and I am going to win that blue ribbon,” and not have to back […]

As a woman of color who is Indo-Caribbean and struggles with Asian identity, thank you for writing this.

I wanted to put both of those scenes in this somewhere, but there was just TOO MUCH to cover. It’s all so great.

Because the most inspiring fashion icon of my life is ’90s Sandra Bullock. !–more– I cannot even begin to explain how much I love While You Were Sleeping. It’s so perfectly ’90s. (Yes, I will repeat this phrase […]

That is usually followed by the “oh man i’m so productive, look how great I am,” and then back into the dark cycle of procrastination. I also could have elaborated having a pet at your disposal means way more […]

When you work a desk job, sometimes a snow day is great. Sometimes it’s a super productive work from home day, where you thank the Internet gods for enabling this. Sometimes it’s a lie on my bed with Netflix and […]
