Let's make the lunchtime poll a regular tradition! I'll ask you and sometimes Team Experience, too, a question that's currently hogging too much of my brain. You answer and we'll all feel less utterly alone in this vast cruel universe. Ready?
Today two questions about La Streep, just because. Here we go...
FIRST QUESTION - Viola started her memorable presentation of Meryl Streep's Cecil B DeMille last weekend by narrating a conversation they had about cooking. What other conversation between these two would you most like to be privvy to?
STEVEN: Any time they've ever discussed Amy Adams.
LYNN: Shallow me would be tickled if they played a game of "fuck marry, or kill" for their male co-stars.)
KIM: I want to hear Meryl breaking down every single episode of How to Get Away with Murder. "'Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone?' VIOLA, THAT TWIST!"
NICK: ...
-Oh my god, he's mounting the camera for another canted shot. We've already done 80 of those. Please go tell him to stop that."
-I'm not telling him!! You tell him! You're Meryl Streep! I'm only in this thing for eight minutes!"
-But every time you say anything, it sounds like the all-time most definitive statement of that thing. Please step up on this."
-I am NOT paid enough to take the lead here, Meryl. If not you, then Phil, THEN Amy. Or Jesus, get Scott to do it, he's the boss!"
MANUEL: I guess I would love to eavesdrop on any and all phone calls they had while Viola was shooting Suicide Squad, because you just know there was some grade-A shade thrown Leto's way.
SECOND QUESTION - Five adjectives to describe Meryl Streep?
JOSE: Kind. Smart. Important. Does "fucking fierce" count?
JORGE: Necessary. Poignant. Articulate. Iconic. Irreplaceable.
DANCIN' DAN: Magnificent. Eloquent. Regal. Young-at-heart. Legendary.
STEVEN: Lionhearted. Astute. Staunch. Unflinching. Captivating.
LYNN: Classy. Fierce. Inspiring. Magnificent. Sublime (since "goddess" is not technically an adjective)
ERIC: Ballsy. Fearless. Difficult. Passionate. Near-sighted.
KIM: Regal. Scathing. Bold. Impassioned. Greatest .
NICK: Presidential. Brokenhearted. Iron. Earnest (there's more to learn and say about disability, but she'll get there). Great (again, and again, and again...)
DAVID: Magnetic. Earnest. Thoughtful. Iconic. Presidential.
MANUEL: Graceful. Poised. Intelligent. Generous. Talented.
MATTHEW: "Five adjectives to (adequately) describe Meryl Streep?" Such words do not exist. And after last Sunday night they never will.
