I blame Katherine Heigl.

Kerry Washington is, to put it bluntly, the effing best. We’ve loved her since she played Julia Stiles’s scene-stealing BFF in Save The Last Dance, and we love that she’s now the first black female lead in a network drama since 1974 (1974!!!!!!) , playing Olivia Pope on Shonda Rimes’s hit Scandal. She also has the best red carpet game out there (Zoe Saldana is on par with her, MAYBE) and is a reliably funny and charming presence in interviews. And after watching her commencement speech to the 2013 graduating class at her alma mater George Washington University, we have about a million more reasons to love her.

I want to believe this, but it is interesting because we are constantly barraged by studies saying the opposite. As the great Nora Ephron once said, “a movie about a woman’s cure for cancer is less interesting than a movie about a man with a hangnail.”

And if she does, should we be surprised?

I know, I’m as happy about it as you are. But it has to be done.

It’s not looking good.

Oh Zoe.

I saw Spring Breakers last weekend and I have yet to move on. Its limited, 3-theatre release generated $270,000. And after seeing it, I think the movie deserved all of the money. It’s amazing. I haven’t had a chance to talk about it with anyone else who saw it, so I hashed out my feelings with myself. Welcome to A Very Special Discussion About Spring Breakers Between Two Kristies. Warning: spoilers ahead.

Everyone needs to stop writing about tofu and go back to making movies.

She’s like Yoda, but with glasses.
