BBC - Culture - How Pretty Woman erased sex from its story

-       Why When Harry met Sally is the greatest romcom of all time

It’s all right, Marshall is telling us. You don’t have to worry about anything as seedy as a rich man paying a poor girl for sex

* * *

Set all that next to the previous year’s hit US rom-com, When Harry Met Sally, in which the characters breezily recount their intimate liaisons. Set it next to the erotic heat in any pairing of Rock Hudson and Doris Day, or Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Pretty Woman is positively prudish in comparison: a film about a sex worker which is primly censorious about casual sex.

While you're here, how about this:

Recapping Smash 1.5: 'I Know Exactly What I Bring to the Party' | Playbill

"You're afraid of anything below the neck," Derek tells Karen early on in Episode 5, "Let's Be Bad." He's taking the episode title far too literally—but don't worry! He's good at his job... so he gets to do what he wants? Man, this storyline wasn't great in 2012 and it's definitely not great in 2020. (But what is great in 2020, amirite?) That's just an appetizer for Derek going on to humiliate Ivy Lynn and Karen both in rehearsal, when he insists Karen show Ivy Lynn how to do Marilyn's

Meanwhile, Tom is on a date with Hot Lawyer and I have never identified with anyone as much as watching a theatre professional checking Theatre Emergency Texts on a date. (Yes, they're real.) Then his phone, like Chekhov's gun, goes off and it's time to bail Leo out of jail. (Leo is Julia's son; you've probably forgotten.)

Hunter Harris' Quarantine Playlist: LISTEN

Like everyone else that spent too much time on Tumblr between 2008 and 2012, I love Cat Power. Her stripped down Rihanna cover is a moody, seductive song for our times: "I want you to stay / Want you to stay," she sings. Her voice quivers just enough to make it feel like a request and a command: Please stay! Don't leave! Limit your movements!

* * *

Never have the lyrics of Ally Maine (née Campana) ever been so relatable, as I am, literally, alone in my house. Under quarantine? It hits different! (Due to contractual restrictions, I am not legally allowed to include Scene 98 on one more playlist, however, rest assured that this fight is getting ample playing time on my Bose speaker.)

Sorry, the band making ennui sexy | Music | The Guardian

M ost bands form over pints, broken hearts and aspirations of superstardom. Few start with mild bullying. But Asha Lorenz, the frontwoman of London band Sorry, used to torment guitarist Louis O'Bryen at middle school. Teasing and cruel comments were easy for Lorenz when in close proximity to someone as shy and awkward as O'Bryen. "She was a bit mean," he admits over a lukewarm soup in a Shoreditch pub.

According to O'Bryen, journalists and those within the music industry "just want to give people a reason to listen to something by calling it guitar music". So what are Sorry? They're a very 2020 band, in that they build their songs round the mood of whatever they're singing about. A typical Sorry track is just as likely to be inflected with 90s grunge as with jazz or trip-hop.
