I have seen the pilot 7 or 8 times over the last 10 years and it only just now clicked that Keith Mars’ classic “who’s your daddy” line is foreshadowing😭😭 that’s crazy. I love good stories
It’s almost hard to believe that was the broadcast version!!!!!
I guess the version of the Veronica Mars pilot I’m most familiar with is the extended one but the version on Netflix feels like it starts so abruptly
went slightly long on Shah Rukh Khan in what is one of my favorite pieces i've gotten to write 🥰
I always think the Bridgeton costumes are cheap and tacky… and yet Jonathan Bailey is still styled better in his 15 min cameo this season than he was as Fiyero😭
Threw my hat into the ring of Wuthering Heights opinion and managed to also make it about Moonlighting (among other things) open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

Lily meyer’s the end of romance book cover, image of a turtle with a flower in its mouth turned on its back
The End Of Romance (out today) really struck a chord for me: Meyer tests philosophical and feminist ideas against a narrative that is thoughtful and engaging. Had me turning over similar ideas as Bess Wohl’s Liberation.

Afternoon on the couch accidentally double featuring movies about offputting guys whose mothers implanted ideas in their heads that ultimately lead to complete mental deterioration
I’m confused why Highest 2 Lowest Sounds Like That but I am happy for Dennis Duffy
Having a new Saoirse/Timothée collaboration to look forward to would make things just a little bit better
Philly mention in Stranger Things finale we stay winning
