DAMAGES

Welp, I’ve become obsessed with another show no one cares about/show your dad would watch, and once again want to talk about it to anyone that will listen. Who will hear me? You, today!

First of all, Rose Byrne: hello. HELLO TO YOU!

You are fine, and I mean that like the 90s. Truthfully, I started to watch Damages after seeing Bridesmaid because I enjoyed her performance as “Helen” in it, a role about which she told her agent during the casting process: “Give me a crack at the bitch.” I’m sorry, have you ever said anything as charming in your entire stupid life?

So obviously I went down a Rose Byrne interview rabbit hole and guess what? She’s funny IRL!!!! In one interview someone asked her how she felt about the faster paced TV environment with last minute script changes and she said, “I just cry a lot about it.” Ha, Rose! Look at us.

My favorite is an Emmy round-table where she is so poised and beautiful that she makes January Jones look like a paper bag who spits out garbage. You can almost feel the confidence drain from the loose leaf that is January Jones’s face.

Speaking of faces, if we could talk about Glenn Close’s for a second.

I’m wondering almost constantly what’s going on there. Is Damages what she’s doing when she’s not the woman who wants to surgery herself into a cat?

There’s just something not right and I bet now you’re wondering what’s wrong with her face. Well, I’ll tell you, it’s her eyes, they’re too close together. That said, I think Glenn Close is a terrific actress and is apparently a lot of fun off set.

Ha, yes, I have been brushing up on my DAMAGES behind the scenes!! Did you know that Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are friends outside of the show?

Anyway, I guess I haven’t really talked at all about Damages. Who cares? Not you. It’s good, you should watch it. Lawyers lawyer-ing it up. Strong females. Some things about the show don’t make complete sense, though, like how Ellen (Rose) is at times completely and hilariously unprofessional. Walking into Patty’s (Glenn’s) office talking about, “WTF is your problem Patty, you idiot?” and Patty’s like “Hello, excuse me?” but then apparently everything is fine later in the day and no one has been fired. Patty forreal murders at least one person every 3 episodes just because they are sort of annoying her and she’s going to let a bitch roll into her office with an attitude?

WATCH DAMAGES OR I WILL SHOOT YOU
