what if they knew each other and also kissed

Remember when people on here decided lena dunham was a sexual predator

I do vaguely remember a callout post about her that read like a court transcript from the Nuremberg trials.

If you’re wondering why there was a significant shift in casting for Inside Out 2…

Amy Pohler was offered $5 million to reprise her role. (With bonuses) Mindy Kahling and Bill Hader were offfered $100,000. So they exited. Just 2% of Amy’s offer.

i really like amy pohler cause she’s very clearly dedicated to feminism and just trying to spread the message (heck even when she made a sexist joke about taylor and taylor got upset amy apologized while tina fey said she didn’t have to) because she knows it’s important and i just think it’s neat cause she’s an executive producer on this movie and her character even talks about how her era of revolting wasn’t intersectional and is like just trying to be better. idk it’s just really nice to see her actually caring about the younger generations feminism

still can't get over that outtake from parks & rec where it's amy pohler and that dick louis ck and she's supposed to be drunk and moaning about not getting dates and she says "I'm smart and I'm funny" except she's supposed to be drunk so she actually says "I'm fart and I'm smunny" and that dick louis ck keeps cracking up and ruining the take - but the actual funny part is someone added subs to the video and has her saying "I'm farting in some money"

Yay Constance! Parks and Rec is a great show Crisp Ratt is only a part of it and honestly Aubrey Plaza Offerman and Adam Scott outshine him in every way not to mention Amy Pohler

okkkaaaaay you convinced me, i will start watching it!!!

In another universe where Amy Pohler's character is crushing on Rashida Jone's character.

Genuine question, what movies are you talking about in that post? Bc I can't think of any that fit that description but I'm also not a big movie person so I may just have been lucky with the ones I've seen dkjsfa

disclaimer! don’t @ me saying to watch better movies! i do! i just watch a LOT of movies! i like to see what’s going out there since i study media*

also i know this is badly written. i have not pulled myself together after a very long year and a half

this got rambly so i’m putting my tl;dr here: comedy feels stagnant to me, and that makes me feel weird when it comes to things (some of which are aimed at kids/teens)

okay so if you don’t watch a lot of movies you probably missed them! the kind of movies i was thinking about are mostly comedies that are aimed at teens but really just don’t feel right. just stupid forgettable movies that will have a random adult (maybe a teacher) make some comment about back in their day. and they just feel off in a very specific way where it’s like idk who is writing this but i don’t think they have a grasp of what is going on

probably due to being rich

i am terrible with titles and names and i’m currently in the wilderness so i’m not too confident matching scenes to titles

(also that post was slamming together a few themes i’ve seen repeated in different movies and shows and they are not all american. some are canadian/uk/australia but i use the ‘too movies’ or ‘too much (blank) on tv’ thing as a joke)

also some of the movies/shows are marketed to adults not teens. they also carry with some of those themes. um. working moms (show) is canadian and i’m not sure if they’re millennial or gen x but they have a lot of weird recurring issues with ‘ooh scary generation gap with my kids.’

and i think um. i’m trying to remember the name. idk it stars the australian woman who was in pitch perfect and she’s in a coma and wakes up 20 years later and goes back to school and they make the slur jokes. that is the one i watched most recently. i was having a hard time with trying to figure out who the target audience was… can’t remember the name and i watched it last week

another movie i can’t remember the name of that i think was marketed at teens also had the weird ‘oh the climate change protest kids just want attention’ gimmick that the movie with the pitch perfect woman had

is sarah jessica parker gen x? her new sec and the city show is Wild. one of the groups presentations in my media discourse class was about the representation of sexual minorities between the old sex and the city and the new sex and the city. i can try to find one of the articles they referenced in that because how the new one is almost more isolating is really interesting

which is kind of a trend? a ohh boo hoo don’t yell at me mean minorities!! i’m trying!! kind of vibe that runs through a lot of new movies/shows

like there is this distinct weirdness that is coming in with media created by white female comedians (i say female bc i tend to watch movies with female leads) amy palmer or pohler or whatever her name is. she has a movie out like 5 years ago? it had this teenage girl finding her mom’s old punk albums or something

but basically i had been watching a bunch of comedy things with female leads and so many are just weird. like it was leaving me wondering like what are the shows/movies teens are getting that feel somewhat authentic?

obviously movies are weird and there aren’t a lot of good ones that really stand out. and there have been constant jokes about how young people are portrayed in media for forever probably

but i think that movies are a good medium for comfort and hope, maybe especially for children and teens. you don’t have to have the energy to read to yourself. you can watch it when you’re doing something else with your hands. or are sick.

it’s the visuals. and the music. the way you can do something else while getting a story. they are very human.

and comedies are much harder to do than dramas. but they have a different sort of catharsis. i don’t know. people tend to downplay them as just stupid when there is a deep connection humans try to have through humour. i’m rambling but i just really love comedies and i love stories for children and stories for teens and i think they’re all downplayed as. being stupid. or easy. like you don’t have to try.

i’m sorry this just turned into rambling. maybe writers just went too far with the ‘set things in high school bc a.) kids will make emotional decisions that you wouldn’t see an adult character make b.) your characters are trapped in that environment c.) unlike college, they are trapped with other characters on mostly the same schedule and d.) they still see breakups etc as life and death situations’ advice that they give writers (this is paraphrased from several screenwriting guides i’ve read)

but idk i’m just bothered by the comedies i’ve been watching. and comedies do tend to show a lot about the current state of the world. comedies and horror are both downplayed genres that show a lot.

again sorry this is rambly. i don’t have energy to find my sources. there are interesting theories on comedy out there that just make me feel weird about what i’m seeing. like it’s so stagnant. that’s my tl;dr

most comedies i’ve seen lately seem stagnant

*i have a degree in this so i feel bad that i’m not pulling sources bc it feels like plagiarism at points

OMG amy pohler on weekend update im so giddy heehee

[superstartaylorsversion]

I saw a tiktok saying "taylor swift uses feminist language to shield herself from genuine criticism" and I was like "oh yeah totally especially with the matty thing and the love hate gloves and everything else" but someone else followed up with "YEAH! Like when she got mad at tina fey and amy pohler for saying shes dated way too many guys and must be crazy for not being able to keep a man" and it's like. no that's just her calling out people for being sexist towards her. shut the fuck up and eat your salad

[jethroq]

ugh, but the worst part is Amy Pohler is gonna be liz truss on SNL or something

[nicholasbritel]

My favorite scenes are him trying to be a magician and usually failing lol Amy Pohler was a lucky lady for a while

Inside Barbie's Dreamhouse: Skipper - SNL

spent the first half legit wondering how i never noticed how much britney spears looks like jessica alba and then realizing amy pohler looks like if the entire cast of kids in the hall in drag fused and became a real woman
