I was hoping “welcome to Derry” was connected to Derry Girls 😭
Every. Time. I see that show’s name I get excited because I think it’s a Derry Girls movie or something.
I’m not looking forward to more more MORE twee princess dresses that are the color of washed-out pantyhose. Punk it up, Ariana. It’s okay.
I don’t think its that weird, but I flipping love french fries dipped in a chocolate milkshake. Has to be fast food french fries. McDonald’s are the best for this, BK is okay as a backup. The ideal combo is McD’s fries with a Wendy’s frosty but this is usually hard to get while the fries are still hot but LO AND BEHOLD a Wendy’s is opening a mile from my house and it is walking distance from the McDonald’s so I am going to reach perfection with this combo and I am SO EXCITED.
I absolutely love this for you. No sarcasm.
I definitely think fries in frosty is weird, but if it makes you happy, who GAF? I’m excited for you, too.
I was so bummed to learn from the app Goods Unite Us that Wendy’s primarily gives to the GOP. So no more Frosties for us.
(Sorry, Becks1. I hesitated whether to post this because I didn’t want to be a killjoy, but I do find that app useful. I’ve also had to abandon my HomeGoods habit.)
😢😢😢
I like several kinds of crazy combos — like blue cheese, e.g. roquefort or gorgonzola, or brie, or sharp cheddar with different kinds of jam, jelly or marmalade — fig, or raspberry, quince, orange, pear. Delicious.
Or German Christmas stollen, the plain one without marzipan, topped with brie or camembert.
Or creamy PB on German black bread, topped with serrano or similar ham.
A dollop of hot sauce to cream cheese, topped with apples, on rye.
My still fairly new Canadian husband thinks he made a mistake 33 days ago…, but c’mon, poutine?
😉. Are you also a salted peanuts in the RC Cola kinda gal?
A PB and J sandwich with scrambled eggs topped with salsa.
I’m the same!
Reading the weird food list is like: ew! WHAT??? Meh, that’s just poor people stuff. Poor people stuff. PPS. 😮 What???? Nooo! More poor people stuff, repeat. Lol
After a couple of weeks of bombardment under the last promo tour, I have Ariana, Erivo and Wicked on my Blocked Words lists on my social media. I don’t open anything pushed to me that has anything to do with the movies. It keeps my algo pretty clean. Because even if I cared about the movies (and I don’t), I have never cared about a movie enough to want to make it my entire personality, lifestyle and subject of conversation for months on end, and that’s what they seem to think is justified. Ugh.
Thanks for sharing this. I just went in and changed my Instagram settings to block the entire promotion for Wicked, as well as any mention of Kate Middleton or Prince William. Who knew peace was possible? 😂

I might be the only one but I did not like Wicked and didnt get the hype around it. Maybe I’m missing a gene or something
I have no idea. I LOVED the book, but the musical was barely based on the book, and I have no plans to watch the movie. Everyone still grows up on the Wizard of Oz, right, so my sense of the popularity is just that it’s a great concept.
I finally got around to watching it on my computer, which is how I watch all my streaming content. So happy I didn’t see it in the theaters as I just wouldn’t have lasted. I was able to skip past all the filler stuff that didn’t really move the story along. Loved the two women leads–they were fantastic. Happy to see the cameo with the original Galinda & Elphaba. But, gah! Too long! They took a rather adult book–a really long one at that–and somehow made it into a Broadway musical that children everywhere adored, then took that Broadway musical and made it into TWO movies???? Did any kids manage to sit through the whole thing?
As for the all-encompassing press for it? Truly don’t mind, it’s a nice break from watching our democracy go down the toilet.
I’m excited AF for Wicked. I loved the first one and that trailer gave me goosebumps!
I loved it too — I’m really looking forward to it. There’s so much grey in the world these days and I loved the sets, costumes, the leads, the dancing, and sound design. I watched a lot of the behind the scenes for the 1st half and it was a really nice escape from the destruction around us to be able to understand how people create.
Me too! I love the original musical (grown up theater kid here) and was extremely skeptical of the first movie, but it completely won me over and I’m super excited for the second one. I plan to see it in theaters and will probably also buy it to watch at home with my daughter.
