  1. Why are they not wearing scarves ? It’s winter !

    Why are people in American movies never wearing scarves in cold weather ?
    Is it a movie thing ?
    IS it an American thing ?

    Is it actually a world thing where no one wears scarves and I’m just obsessed with them because I’m a walking French stereotype ?

      • This was always what frustrated me with Gilmore Girls, they were never wearing winter coats in CONNECTICUT?!

    • They’re devotees of Wynonna Earp. And darn it, if Wynonna and Nicole can stand out in the snow in wedding garb, then they don’t need scarves.

    • I am a current New Englander who never wears scarves. (Also no turtlenecks.) Sure it gets cold, but I’m usually walking or something if I’m outside and I overheat if I’m in a jacket and a scarf. Hat and gloves yes, but no scarf. And honestly half the time I forget my gloves so it’s hat and hands in pockets.

    • Depending on where in America this movie is set, they might just not need scarves! I live in Texas and we get a handful of days in December/January where you need a lightweight coat, but you can go the whole year without a winter scarf easily. (I wear winter scarves more for fashion than function.)

    • Northern Midwest United States person, and the only times I’ve worn a winter scarf are times when I had to wait at the bus stop in subzero temps, or I wanted to wear a cute jacket had a v neck where all the cold air would run down into my boobs otherwise.

      And like honestly tons of people don’t even wear a proper winter coat, either.

    • I grew up in California so I never owned a coat. When I moved to colder weather it was just something I preferred. Snow could be falling from the sky and the most I’ll wear is a hoodie and gloves. Coats and scarves feel suffocating.

  2. I love Arrow for giving us Sara Lance so I’m loyal to the Arrowverse as a name, but what about the Superverse or the AlexDanverse?

  4. Could it…will this be…the first time Kristen Stewart has ever acted enthusiastically in love with her romantic interest in a movie????

    We know she can do it, because, hey, Totinos.

  5. Even though I can find no evidence to support this, I plan on continuing to believe that Mackenzie Davis is queer.

  6. I would watch every Hallmark movie if it was queer & starred Kristen Stewart. Can’t wait for Happiest Season

  8. On Brandy’s Cinderella, I don’t think the soundtrack is available to buy or stream anywhere either, right? Which is a shame because the music and performances were the best.
