iitenki: sqvad: destronomics: The Skyler White EffectThe cognitive dissonance that happens when a female character is presented by the narrative as absolutely correct in their judgment of a male character, and yet the viewers assume she’s the bitch. god shut up everyone knows shes probably the voice of reason on the show but everyone will ALWAYS PREFER WALT AND JESSIE TO ANY CHARACTER THAT FUCKS UP THEIR LIVES I agree that a lot of the ‘omg skylar’s a bitch’ dialogue is overly simplistic but there is something to be said that even though you can appreciate her rightful position you don’t necessarily want her to win because it will disrupt the entertaining aspect of the show, i.e. Walter and Jesse. Skylar isn’t the interesting part of the show. That’s not the point of Skylar. She just gives tiny doses of reality to the audience to put the inhumane acts Jesse and Walt commit into perspective.  Yep, Bridget is right. I’d also like to point out that Skyler knowingly and very illegally gets involved with Walt’s empire and could definitely be charged with obstruction of justice, fraud, and money laundering if all the details of the Heisenberg case come out, so it’s not as if she’s some angel. I’ve always interpreted BrBa’s ultimate message as being that there’s evil and immorality in everyone, even the “good” people. Skyler aids and abets her husband’s drug empire, putting her children at risk as she does so. Boiling it down to “Skyler is right and Walt is wrong” does a massive disservice to the complexity of the show.

Anna Kendrick in the Last Five Years is SUPER confirmed, Jamie still not cast

atardisonacloud:

In a recent interview with Collider.com, ‘Beautiful Creatures’ director Richard LaGravenese revealed that he is currently working on an indie film adaptation of the off-Broadway musical THE LAST FIVE YEARS. The show appeared off-Broadway in 2002 and will be revived at New York’s Second Stage Theatre this April.

The love story is all-sung and features just two characters. “[It’s] about a young man and young woman in their 20’s who meet, fall in love, get married and break up, all in the span of five years,” explains the director. “All of her songs start at the end of their relationship and go to the beginning, and all of his songs start at the beginning and go to the end…It goes back and forth like that.”

LaGravenese went on to reveal that Hollywood ‘It Girl’ Anna Kendrick is attached to play the female lead while the male role remains uncast. With a minimal budget of $2 million, the director explained that the indie film will be shot on digital with a quick 22-day production schedule. “It’s a really small thing. So, we’ll see,” he commented.

Written by Jason Robert Brown, The Last Five Years explores a five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hyatt, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Cathy’s story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie’s is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect.

Ugh, I can’t figure out whether or not to be excited about this.

Filed under: i mean because kendrick = YES and like tl5y has an amazing score and and she'll probably kill it but ugh the entire show is such a masturbatory and narcissistic exercise ''boo hoo i'm a misunderstood genius and my ex-wife is a cunt! i HAD to sleep around! she didn't give me space!'' i know it's ''balanced'' but like all of cathy's songs are about how she's a needy and whiny emotional wreck i really like jason robert brown as a composer but i kind of hate him as a person

You know that common trope of “all comedians want to be rock stars and all rock stars want to be comedians”? Sometimes I’m honestly not sure where on that continuum Jimmy Fallon belongs, and that both troubles me and makes me happy.

I’d like to know who the fuck decided that comedians can only pose for “goofy” photoshoots in major magazines because we need to have words.

If anyone cares

I woke up with a pounding headache and I feel basically like death warmed over on my only day off all week.

So yeah, if you were wondering whether this was one of the all-around worst weeks of the year (if not of my whole life) — yeah, it’s definitely one of the top contenders.

"The thing with your heart’s desire is that your heart doesn’t even know what it desires until it turns up. Like a tie at a tag sale, some perfect thing in a crate of nothing, you were just there, uninvited, and now suddenly the party was over and you were all I wanted, the best gift. I hadn’t even been looking, not for you, and now you were my heart’s desire."

Cat Marnell is like a druggy, scummy Tinkerbell who needs attention to live and I’d appreciate it if legitimate news outlets would stop giving it to her.
