The Little Mermaid thing is so funny to me. Because before they announced anything about Ariel there was a grassroots social media effort pushing for a black woman (or even a drag queen/trans woman) to be cast as Ursula. I didn't know much about it but apparently there was some basis for Ursula originally having connections or being based on drag queens? Idk I need to do the research.
But anyway, at the time I thought "Oh man....when they cast Ursula people are going to lose their shit" because that's how society works now. Then they jumped the gun and went "Oh actually, Ariel is a mixed race person in this and we cast this woman" and the racists/homophobes must have felt blindsided. I bet many were already preparing to be outraged about Ursula but now that Ariel isn't white they REALLY lost it.
Also, rumors of Melissa McCarthy as Ursula just make me sad. Look - I like McCarthy way more than many other people do and I enjoy a good amount of her comedy work (though there's plenty of duds) but when I think Ursula I would NEVER cast Melissa in that role. I feel like she has the Will Smith issue - where no matter the role....if she takes it I won't be able to get past her typical schtick and will think of her as McCarthy and not a character. There are so many people who could be better for it.

I believe that she was based on Devine. (From John Waters' films.)

That sounds like something I read. Just didn't get around to verifying it but yeah....sounds right.
i love this. because i love women's clothes but am often hesitant to compliment because i don't want to sound creepy.
Let me tell you this, if men didn't holla and just complimented women on their skills (which includes being better at attire because ya know, masculinity de-focuses men from clothing choices), we would be in a different place.

Been thinking about adopting a cat for a while. There's a lot of adult cats at the shelter near me so I'll probably check it out. I've only ever had dogs, is there anything cat specific I should know before I make a final decision?
Got one yet? Let me know if you do and have any questions. I have four fur babies. And btw, you don’t adopt a cat, it adopts you.
1.) What's the difference between the Ryman and the Opry house? Are they just two separate music venues? Assuming Opry House is smaller or is that wrong?
My mom is planning to head to Nashville with some family to celebrate her 60th and she's a big time country music fan (mainstream, CMT, redneck kind of country.....though she does like some Americana and folky stuff, too.). Any top notch recomendations for food/drinks and entertainment for a big mainstream country fan? She's not necessarily the museum going type but would love to do some shopping and get a taste for the scene. I assume she'll spend a lot of time in the downtown/main areas.

The Ryman was the original home to the Grand Ole Opry. Then it moved to it’s current abode at Opryland. It is a bit larger than the Ryman but has no soul. The Ryman fell into disrepair and was almost demolished. Thank God someone had the good sense to prevent that.
I assume she is staying at the Opryland hotel. Prepare her for downtown Nash. It’s a zoo. Think Saturday night in Vegas, but in cowboy boots.
I avoid Country music like the plague. But a very memorable night can be had at The House Of Cards. It’s a restaurant below the Johnny Cash museum. Must book in advance and dress up. But the food is amazing and the magic show is so much fun. www.hocnashville.com/

Thanks, that explains the difference when she was looking up who was playing at which place. Makes sense.
She's not sure where she's saying yet. The magic show/house of cards thing sounds neat but she's not sure how much the group she's going with is going to be interested. I think they're all for drinking and country music and a good time but not necessarily looking to dress up or worry about early reservations lol. Thanks for the info, i'll pass it along.

Then tell them to go to FGL House. I’d rather be dumped alive in a vat of boiling chicken grease, but they will like it. And get some hot chicken.
The Blair Witch Project came out 20 years ago in July. I think it was a terrible movie, but a great marketing campaign.
So the director of the Blair Witch Project was the direct on the Queen of the South the last show I was working on. He is super nice and like crazy tall.

i watched it for the first time last year (?), it wasn't bad, I've definitely seen worse
It's a great first film for a director and group of producers. It isn't special in the end, but yes the post-marketing campaign was also excellent if you look at it from a business standpoint.

Say what you will about The Blair Witch project but I think about that shit every single time I'm out in the woods so... mission accomplished, I guess.
Sigh, I don't know where to put this but I feel like I needed to get this out of my system (even though I already vented to some of my friends, it seems it's still not enough or something)
I had another date with this girl I was seeing yesterday. We've had multiple dates over the course of the past half year and you could say we were basically dating (but not like together yet as a couple, idk). So, yesterday we met up at hers, cuddled, got lunch, got back to her place and kissed/cuddled again with some serie playing in the background. It felt great, everything about it felt great and I thought she had that too constantly rubbing over my head and arms.. But after I got home, she texted me that it didn't feel right kissing her. She liked the cuddles and me touching her wherever but the kissing not so much, where I was like "What do you mean? Did you like it before that or was it then aswell?" in which she replied that she couldn't really say that and that she guessed she did (our last date was a month ago because she traveled to NYC and I did some festivals in that span of time). She asked me how I was feeling and I said that I loved her and that I miss her when Im not around her in which she replied that she had those feelings aswell though in some way it didn't feel 'right' and that she just feels more like friends rather than something 'more'.. Which to me came out of nowhere because she's never voiced her feelings ever like that to me. She's never said that her feelings towards me tempered or idk. Something, you know? I said that she didn't need to force something onto me if she wasn't feeling the same thing that I was feeling for her in which she said that she sometimes felt like forcing her feelings towards me in the hope of feeling 'love' towards me.. But she never in all those months has she said anything to me about that. Maybe she kept it to herself in the hope that our love would grow or something? Which I understand but.. Now I'm just really hurt because everything we've ever had felt amazing to me. She never send me any signals that would indicate that she didn't like me or.. You know what I'm trying to say?
I've been thinking where I went wrong or what did wrong that it didn't work all night last night but I guess that isn't the right mentality. I'm just feeling sad and empty and idk what to do with myself.

seems like you have it right in the bolded above. you are clearly a good person and fun to be around, she saw that and kept things going in hoping something deeper would develop for her, but for some reason it did not, and she is trying to communicate that to you, but doing so in an awkward way. you are also correct that it won't do any good to try and analyze where you went wrong, because you didn't do anything wrong.
sorry you are feeling sad and empty, we've all been there. the good news is it will pass and you will move on.
i enjoyed looking at the picture of the writer smiling while I read the line "a fracas at a Florida Five Guys". Tiffini is proud of that sentence, as she should be.

Completely agree with postjack. I've been in the position before where I like someone and they're fun to be around and I care about them, and I want to LIKE like them, but there's just some intangible thing that needs to be there, but isn't. The spark is either there or it's not, and when it's not it sucks for everyone. I know you're hurting, but try to find solace in the knowledge that she probably genuinely wanted something more with you and genuinely cared for you, and it's because of that care that she ended things instead of forcing something that wasn't meant to be. And sometimes people just aren't good with feelings - either their own or others' - and communicating based on unsteady feelings is tough.
You may feel empty, but you're not. It seems to me like you're actually full - full of thoughts, and full of feelings. Sounds pretty human, if tough to navigate. Feel your way through it, and if it gets overwhelming I find that quiet walks can work wonders. Hang in there; you'll be okay.

That's Divine with a star over the "i" (I once got corrected by someone when I lived on Devine and when asked to spell I told them "just like the actor" to which I was promptly corrected!
Man, a bunch of friends went on a Waters kick in the late 80's, and we saw most of them - Desperate Living, Female Troubles, Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingoes. The only one I don't think I ever saw was Multiple Maniacs.
Later he went a little more mainstream with Polyester (the scratch and sniff movie), Hairspray, Serial Mom and shit.
