you know she’s outside
Speaking of Barney, however touching the scene was when he met his daughter Ellie, that does not excuse how putrid and galling it is for him and the other characters to refer to her mother as merely "Number 31." I get it, Barney's a womanizer. And I have long found his character to be both brutally transphobic and deeply misogynistic. He's welcome to have as much sex as he wants, and to have casual, even anonymous sex, because whatever happens between consenting adults is their business. But when the person you're going to raise a child with doesn't even get a name? That's grotesque. And the show's insistence that Barney was somehow reformed by becoming the father of a daughter is off-base, too. Telling women how to dress, when to drink, and what kind self-regard they should have is patronizing, overstepping, and just more of Barney's typical disrespectful, dehumanizing, dismissive behavior toward women.
Sigh No More
Winston Marshall: I wish I had something to say about Mumford & Sons. It was a good time. It’s over.
Vulture: Totally over?
Winston Marshall: Yeah, We had a good time, though, you know. It was good.
Vulture: Should we expect a reunion tour?
Winston Marshall: Well, I dunno, fucking, that would be awesome. But, you know, it is what it is, I guess.
Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, and writer Larry Mollin explain why it took her seven seasons to give it up.
Let’s be honest: Britney Spears may be the most boring person on the planet. She’s certainly one of the most boring; she’s in the running. She has no discernible talent, musical or otherwise. She has been in the public eye for two decades and has never evinced anything in the way of a personality. She can’t sing or dance; she can’t even sing or dance badly in a compelling way. In public, no utterance of any interest has escaped her lips. I’ve just finished watching a few interviews on YouTube, and take it from me: Next to Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian is Dorothy Parker. Spears is a blank, a void. She’s antimatter in a belly shirt.
Ouch but true.
It’s more challenging playing things that are foreign to you, and I guess these are things I’ve wanted to explore as a woman, as a storyteller. It’s not as interesting always playing the happy-go-lucky girlfriends. So I guess I just tend to search out women that are a little bit more complicated or complex, and they tend to find me, too. That’s just how it happens.
PICK ME, AMY
Vulture: What do you look for in a best friend?
Amy Poehler: The things that everyone should look for: money, connections, power, sexiness, thick hair, fast cars, a sweet-ass booty, and a desire to travel. All those things.
