CAU: 3 (Pinoooooot Noooooir) Hot Take: Yeah, okay. Good effort. (Sincerely, not snarky.) https://youtu.be/cVx9EFK3DWE I saw “I Feel Pretty” tonight, on a Monday, by myself because one of my girlfriends already saw it (by herself) and my husband took a pass, which was probably for the best. The major takeaway from this movie was that... Continue Reading →
A Thank You Note to the Critics of Batman vs Superman
CAU: 3.5 I anticipated the arrival of Superman vs Batman. I eagerly looked forward to it. But after its release the reviews started coming in...and they weren’t all positive. Many of the “fanboys” who were admitted to the release loved it—the critics, not so much. Being a moderate fangirl, I bought my tickets in advance... Continue Reading →
Hells [Blue] Bells, Can We Talk About ‘Hart of Dixie’?
CAU: Like, an entire bottle of rosé. OMG, homies. I have just binge-watched ALL of Hart of Dixie and it's the sheeze. (Auto-correct just tried to say 'sneeze'.) (Furthermore, I feel like maybe you respect me less for that first line, but frankly my darlings, I don't give a damn.) Okay, I'm willing to admit... Continue Reading →
In Defense of the Weekly Episodic via Outlander
CAU: 4 (on a relatively empty stomach) So here I sit at 10:18pm on a Friday night and I am all atwitter! The first season finale of Outlander is less than two hours away and I'm filled with the kind of nervous, excited anticipation generally reserved only for freshmen on the first day of high...

How to Say “I Love You” in Outlander
CAU: 4 Okay, I've got Outlander beef. Dammit, I don't want it, but I've got it. I'm going to preface this by saying that it comes from a place of love for Outlander on Starz, that's how I got to the books. I love Outlander (books and show) enough to fly 1500 miles to go to... Continue Reading →
New from Outlander Pharmaceuticals
CAU: 0 So the other night I was thinking about my experience at the Outlander PaleyFest panel I went to in LA on March 12th. I was also drinking. Thinking-and-drinking sometimes breeds inspiration for a funny idea, which is what happened that night. At PaleyFest, the Dolby theater was full of titillated women feverish with anticipation...

Fifty Shades of Twilight: 50 Ways They’re the Same Story
So the other day a group of my girlfriends were talking about Fifty Shades of Grey (as girlfriends do from time to time and usually it ends up with me going off on how everything in life has become crap since I got the news that Charlie Hunnam dropped out, but anyway). I brought up that... Continue Reading →
Television, It’s Bringing Drama Back
CAU: 0 Giggity! The fall television season is is picking up steam and I'm loving every minute of it! The folks at FX/Sons of Anarchy are bright, they start up early in the season and get that Tuesday 10pm slot on lockdown. But now we're getting peppered with season and series premieres and I'm getting... Continue Reading →
Love is Not Love, Which Alters When it Alteration Finds
CAU:4 **SOA SPOILERS ABOUND** Damn if that Shakespeare* couldn't turn a line. I guess Sutter, Collins, and Lang got that when they scripted the most recent episode of Sons of Anarchy, "One One Six." SIDE NOTE, SIDEBAR, TIMEOUT: With this episode I had one of those glorious moments in life when you happen to know something... Continue Reading →
Christian Grey Has Light Hair, Dude
CAU:2 Ever since the casting for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie was announced, people have been losing their freakin' minds. Now, in the interest of full disclosure (and in part to pat myself on the back) I have to tell you that I've been pulling for Charlie since I heard the book was optioned... Continue Reading →
