one of my daughters really likes SS as well. i'm assuming it's because of euphoria. i can't get with all the white lotus love - not pointing at SS, she was fine. i mean WL in general. I shouldn't like White Lotus as much as I did (lots of cringe scenes), but the Season 1 resort REALLY takes me back to a place that Mrs Mo and I stayed at a long time ago - the Westin Hapuna Beach 4-star hotel in Kona. The place was beautiful and lavish but because it was Mrs Mo's business trip and I was just along for the ride, she got to eat all these catered meals with the SETI scientists while I had balogna sandwiches back at our room. And then she would try to sneak back leftovers from her meals, LOL. It wasn't all bad - I was at the beach and pool a lot.... |

It's all Euphoria for me. She's way more attractive on film than in still shots.

Courtney is an idiot with a big mouth and has been like that forever. a little while ago she started acting like it was the press that was creating feuds with other musicians to promote girls fighting instead of them working together in the music scene of the 90's, but i don't buy it.
she is an insufferable 'not like the other girls' type that uses every opportunity she has to let the world know that.

She has her moments and had her talent, but mostly she is so desperately needy for attention, that it really puts me off her. She reeks of insecurity and jealousy, even if she has valid points.

I don't like White Lotus either. I forced myself to finish the first season, but after that I was out. I wasn't going to punish myself some more! |

i didn't hate it but didn't see it as anything special. basically fantasy island with better sets.

^^^^
and eating a**
i don't think it's the greatest thing ever but it's one of those shows where part of the fun is to watch week to week and other people you know are watching too and you can talk about it, and there's always the slight mystery/whodunnit element to both seasons that kind of keeps you guessing, the casting is pretty awesome and the characters are everything from insufferable to funny to sad and everything in between.
the second seasons took me a bit longer to get into but then it's quite the ride.

Courtney Love is 100% right about Taylor Swift & doesn't give any F&^s about what the Swifties think of her. Taylor is the 3 B's: Basic, Bland, Boring, she has no distinctive style of voice & cant hit any high notes.

swift isn’t my style but it’s undeniable she has talent, albeit in a safe and generic way, and knows how to write songs that are very relatable to her fan base maybe precisely because they’re so mainstream and speak about very normal, mainstream life experiences.
but personally my favourite of thos last batch of Courtney comments was about Beyoncé’s country album being a good idea in theory but bad in practice. Kinda sums up how I feel about Beyoncé in general…

I definitely like a couple of songs by Swift, but really respect her as a business and marketing genius for her brand. She even did an end around on the guy (Scooter Braun) who owned the rights to the initial versions of her songs. Also she goes to kids hospitals and plays in person for her fans. I'm not saying that I don't like Courtney Love, but the two are universes apart in terms of just about everything.
It really is annoying when people moan about Swift writing songs about bad exes -- that's like 75% of the content of country music. If you play a country song backward, your dog magically resurrects, your truck starts working again, and your wife leaves your best friend for you.

This sounds like the joke took a few turns through google translate before it got back around to English. In the version I've heard, it's "...you get your dog back, you get your truck back, you get your wife back..." |

^^^ That's definitely more succinct than my version.
