THE GILDED AGE: My Mind Is Made Up - Tom + Lorenzo
No one loves to rip on this show as much as we do, but we have to admit, showrunner Julian Fellowes and his co-writer and executive producer Sonja
Bullets! Bended knees! Breakups! On the season finale of #TheGildedAge, a dozen season-long arcs came to a head in satisfying ways, including 2 of the best scenes in the series, but almost nothing made emotional sense. The longest recap we've written since Mad Men:

Nerds, when someone answers the question "What do you like about this?" NOT A SINGLE THING ABOUT THEIR ANSWER IS UP FOR ANY SORT OF DEBATE.

I came away from the sequels thinking Leia must have had an incredibly stressful forty years

The problem was that they just tried to do an aesthetic rerun of the originals instead of really gaming out how a post-Empire fascist movement would look and act

Just think of how many Nazi and Confederate battles we've been fighting decades and centuries after the wars that spawned them. That shit not only doesn't go away, it threatens to erupt again constantly

I don't think the First Order was particularly well explained and I disagree with a lot of how it was portrayed, but the idea was not only sound, it felt very true to Star Wars to me

I was apparently very alone in liking the idea that a massive evil empire - and all of the millions of true believers in it - doesn't just evaporate because you won a war

It's so dismissive of the amazing work of so many incredible actresses who worked with him, like Ellen Burstyn, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Lange, Lily Gladstone, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Winona Ryder etc, many of whom were nominated or won major awards for their collaboration

Strap yourselves in for a jawdropping amount of plot and virtually no emotional responses that make sense in tonight's season finale of #TheGildedAge!

She's riding the high point of a four-decade career partially initiated by the family she was born into and literally all I ever hear about Jamie Lee Curtis anymore is how she's complaining about something

Milk Bar Pie Recipe
MILK BAR PIE
This impossible-to-put-down fan favorite filled with gooey buttery goodness and delivered straight to your mouth in a hearty, toasted oat crust will have you coming back for more.
YIELDS:...
I made the Milk Bar Pie once about 8 years ago. I remember it tasting amazing and that there was a reason why I never baked it again but couldn't remember it. I'm making it again tonight and now I remember. It's worth it, but it is ridiculously fussy as a recipe

Title: Our golden boy
tag: searching for service 📶
Photo of an orange cat laying on a carpet. His front paws are tucked up by his face. He has a slightly derpy expression. There's a piece of cardboard on his head. Someone has drawn the golden ratio spiral over him and it fits really, really well
my god he's perfect
