Emily in Paris isn’t good good, but the scene where Gabriel complains they only ever communicate in English and then rants to Emily in French? Man, best thing I’ve seen in a while.
1-language speaking people don’t get how exhausting speaking in a language not yours for hours on end can be. So imagine fighting with someone in that language… it always feels like they’re one step ahead just cause they can speak from the heart.
So I slept on it for a night, relistened and I have 3 main thoughts:
1. The abuse Joe Alwyn got when his worst crime was being depressed is disgusting and she let it happen
2. She’s too old to write about bad boys
3. It’s not what I expected and I mean that in a bad way
I’ve studied French for some years- didn’t get a word of what he was saying. He was speaking fast. I think the point is that he wouldn’t have been able to express himself like this in English, meanwhile she’s been perfectly able to express herself all this time.
No matter how good her French or his English is, when they’re fighting, one will always have the advantage of being able to speak from the heart. Every time I argue with someone in English, without exception, they never fail to make me feel stupid because they’re more eloquent.
Apparently it needs to be repeated: even if George showed up wearing a clown’s costume, he’s not your kid so your opinion is irrelevant and no one asked for it.
It just bothers me a tiny bit how Meghan is out there lecturing us on women defending women when her fans started a worldwide hate campaign against her sister-in-law who was in fucking hospital but hey who am I -
My main problem with prince Harry is that he acts like / believes he’s here to save us all from the evil lying media when in reality he has such an obvious motive to get papers to stop writing negatively about him.
