Formulaic feminism is a clear and present danger as Hollywood decides how to handle their “women problem.” In the meantime, we’ve got a one step forward, two steps back situation with Director Lucia Aniello’s The Hangover retread, Rough Night. There’s a reason The Hangover Part 3 underperformed – and just on the horizon is a similar movie with African American flair – Girls Trip. Let’s just agree that Scarlett Johansson is no Lucille Ball.

Jonathan Lethem’s flash-fiction piece about movie pitches: “There’s nothing more to do but wait, and either acknowledge the person beside you, or not.”. · All three musicians were in an elevator, reportedly at an after party for the Costume Institute's Met Gala. · Joywave talks about tour, their new album "Content," and what The Weeknd smells like in this exclusive interview.

Here the brainy bombshell plays the bride, a political candidate on the verge of marriage to the nerd of her dreams (Paul W. Downs, who also co- wrote). Her college besties – played by Jillian Bell, Zoe Kravitz and Ilana Glazer — decide to throw her one of those elaborate bachelorette weekends in Miami Beach that ends with skid- marks in their G- strings. Add in my favorite Hillary Clinton – SNL‘s Kate Mc. Kinnon — as the odd woman out from Australia, plus a male stripper in a Velcro cop suit and stir.

Only worthwhile storytellers could take an elevator pitch like this one and produce long-lasting curiosity about its inherent beauty and horror.

Downs. Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Kate Mc. Kinnon, Jillian Bell, Zoe Kravitz, Ilana Glazer. Running time: 1. 01 mins. What could go wrong?

Rough Night (sequel TBD Even Rougher Night aka Tough Brunch) dives into the shallow end with bland feminine hygiene humor. Self- waxers, Tampons and multiple vibrators all get tossed into the naughty adventure. Mc. Kinnon, who’s had me laughing again and again on SNL, whether playing Clinton or Kellyanne Conway to her lovesick Angela Merkel, is the stand- out but she’s straight- jacketed by a script (co- written by Aniello) that gives her cheap stunts and flaky come- backs.

An obvious subplot by Demi Moore and Ty Burrell as the swingers- next- door falls flat. Listen, I wanted this to be better.

I rooted for it. I hoped that maybe if Scar. Jo knocks this out of the park, her Black Widow will come out of development and into production. Maybe Mc. Kinnon will get a feature where she plays all the major parts like Sir Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets.

I have a dream! I spend a lot of column inches advocating for women directors, an honorable cause. But maybe I should be more specific.

Maybe I wasn’t asking for what I actually wanted – a common problem. For example, I ask if you need a sweater when it’s me who’s cold and needs to close the window. So, to be clear, what I really want is women directing fresh and original scripts with relatable complicated heroines and big laughs or big cries. For example, Maude, reviewed elsewhere. What I don’t need is more undercooked leftovers: elevator pitches that satisfy the suits (It’s The Hangover with chicks!) because risk- averse studios don’t want to take any chances with that chick stuff and therefore create a self- fulfilling prophecy of estrogen dreck.

Elevator Etiquette The New Yorker. If you are waiting for the elevator, make sure you press the call button. Watch Pandora And The Flying Dutchman Putlocker# on this page. Even if the call button has already been pressed by someone else who is waiting. If your wait is longer than thirty seconds, press the call button repeatedly. You may also sigh impatiently. Upon entering the elevator, move to the space that is farthest away from the other riders. Do not make more than one second of eye contact with anyone.

Do not talk. Stare straight ahead, as if facing a firing squad, as if the other people in the elevator do not exist, which, to you, they do not.“Straight ahead” is always, always facing the doors. If you stare in any other direction, you are a psychopath. It is polite to ask someone entering at the same time as you, “Which floor?” If you don’t do this, but then the person after you does, you will feel like an asshole. You are allowed to silently judge someone who presses 2. Like, one flight of stairs would kill him? Absolutely do not hit on anyone in the elevator.

Seriously—successful pickups in elevators are even rarer than successful pickups on the subway. Vivaldi Four Seasons Summer. You’re just going to come across as creepy. My friend Stuart claims that he picked up a woman in an elevator once, but no one ever met her, and we all still make fun of him by asking how his Canadian elevator girlfriend is doing.

Stuart doesn’t hang out with us very much anymore. If it is a full elevator and you keep your backpack on, the people behind you have the right to rifle through it. If it is a packed elevator and the door opens to reveal other people hoping to get on, you should smile sympathetically at their predicament. You may also shrug at them, as if to say, “Whaddya gonna do?,” as the elevator door closes in their faces. If you are standing next to the buttons, it is good form to immediately press “Door Close” the second anyone exits. Do not fart. If you fart, pray that your floor comes quickly.

If your floor is still several stops away, make an “Ugh, who farted?” face, while glancing at your neighbor. If you end up in an elevator with your boss, you must choose between making painful small talk or standing awkwardly in silence. The correct choice is always silence.)Upon exiting the elevator on your floor, do not cheerfully say “Buh bye!” to the other riders. Again, this would make you a psychopath. If there is a little TV screen above the buttons displaying banal news items, you may stare at that. Although, really? The Voice Season 3 Blind Auditions. We’re watching TV in the elevator now?

Then again, anything is preferable to unintentional eye contact.
