Aw, that was so nice!

except no ending, cuz it's SNL.
Actually, that one has a pretty sweet ending.

but.. that would mean Dr. Morbius was disparaging something he hadn't seen!

Dude had a plenty decent career in acting, voice acting and public service before coming out all of nine years ago. Do you ever just shut the fuck up?

that's a shame. there nothing positive to be said about siding with morbs on this one. nothing.

she can still be gay and not have been in a decent movie ffs

that was not the implication.

i dare say she's talented, she's probably in movies i would never see or care about and will continue to be in them. but the tenderness/intensity/nervousness of her speech here is more important than anything (possibly) she'll do professionally. i felt a lot of love for her and was moved by it.

as a straight non-entity who's seen one movie in the theatre since inception, morbs' comment seemed pretty catty
probably a fitting welcome to the sisterhood tho i guess

just as many guys i found attractive as girls
so it is great to hear ellen page, oscar nominee for juno (2007)
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 February 2014 06:52 (ten years ago) link
wasn't she one of barbara walters's most fascinating people of 2007?
like was michael cera, similarly aged star of "superbad," which was probably a much bigger commercial hit, a baba wawa holiday go-to?
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 February 2014 06:53 (ten years ago) link
no b/c "juno" was a jason reitman film and socially relevant, wtf
b/c jason bateman listens to the sonic youth cover of the carpenters' "superstar"?
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 February 2014 06:54 (ten years ago) link

I hate to interrupt jaymc, but I think it's fine she came out. She also seems quite talented but just hasn't made any good films that I've seen*, it happens these days.
It'd be nice if just ANY celebrity telling us that they is a same-sexer wasn't news meant to THRILL us all (esp gullible young people), but then it would be a world where a 76-year-old man (NO MATTER HOW ADMIRABLE AND TALENTED) wouldn't be famous solely for saying "Warp factor five" over and over 45+ years ago.
I do think the SNL sketch should have ended with her using a strap-on to take Samberg.
mook, "sisterhood"? really?
* I have seen Inception and that Woody Allen Rome thing.

The funniest comment i have read about this was "She is a Canadian lesbian who came to prominence in Juno, which co-starred the Canadian lesbian Michael Cera." No, I am not proud for lolling at that.

you can interrupt me that's fine. i was in a rabbit hole. i found a drake blog post from 2009 in which he professed his crush on ellen page (lol canadians): http://octobersveryown.blogspot.com/2009/01/im-gonna-go-to-women-nowcause-they-help.html
