Interesting subject and I might watch it. But can I say the show is the mostly wildly overrated piece of entertainment I can think of both in influence, prestige and longevity?  It’s a much stronger case than The Simpsons for a pop culture classic that needed to be cancelled years ago because it’s no longer funny.

I have to admit I’m turned on by Vergara here, her look and manner (not the whole drug lord thing.) I wonder if breaking out to audiences as Gloria and playing her for so many seasons made her feel the same way as Bronson Pinchot did playing Balki on Perfect Strangers: tired of such a broad comic character and eager…

What’s that? Speak up, Sonny! You don’t think it’s gauche to remember a dead friend/colleague with a picture of you in practically a bathing suit where the focus of the eye will invariably be on your breasts? I mean, as a celebration of a good time, it’s fine, but to commemorate a person who just died, I find it a bit…

Jesus, that’s awful. The poor wife and mother losing her husband and her young children all at once. She should not be alone.

It would have been better journalism, in my opinion, if you had mentioned the plot of the book so we could see why fans wanted Chastain so much.

This happens with politics, where the perfectly nice, kind person can have abhorrent political beliefs. If a person is a mansion, their political or religious beliefs are the strange shed or outhouse off the beaten path of the main house. In other words, people contain multitudes and are very good at…

A comedic take on The Shining (arguably a dark comedy itself), it was a great show. I only saw S1 because my cable bill was getting too high and I only watched the channel for the show. Had little idea of the network’s good stable of programs. Is Shining Vale gone forever? Will it get a DVD release or can they license…

Particularly good is when the sister points at her self and yells, “Sister!” That’s good incest writing.

The ad’s fine. I think you’re reading too much into it to discern a fractured father-son relationship. Not much evidence there. The adult son is slightly embarrassed his dad is dancing in a coffee shop. That’s it. A good ad—not too maudlin, and the dancing is dorky cute—but not the best Christmas commercial.

I liked his zombie movie. Forced myself to watch the slog of The Justice League Snyder Cut even though I don’t care for superhero movies much. He should eschew all action and sci-fi fare and make a low budget indie drama. As a test of his filmmaking skills.

She was a great host. (Ken is good too.) But unlike him, too bad she had to deal with a lot more criticism that seemed to be based on her gender and Ken’s cult of personality.

Atheist here. Humanity throughout its history has believed in gods and higher powers far longer than it has not. And why wouldn’t it, to deal with our very unique existence unlike any other animal’s, and subsequently our much harder to live in society. There are burial mounds of our ancestors tens of thousands of…

Tim Allen is looking pretty good right now, ISN’T HE?

It could be Grammer is an awful person--his former co-stars and everyone who’s ever worked with him can speak to that better than any of us. Or he could be like tens of millions of Americans and be very low-information, dumb and ignorant of who Trump really is. Yes, there’s little excuse for being fooled by the cretin…

I like her and don’t think her career should end, and one could argue these celebrities, while doing something criminal, were made scapegoats to placate the fury of ordinary folks facing a horribly unjust and unequal college system they have no power to change. But...this apology and explanation are terrible. Like…

I must be the only one who liked Lucy in The Sky. She’s low-key one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. And, like Jodie Foster, survived childhood acting in the industry to become a well-adjusted adult.

It’s still baffling to me that calling out a government for its mass killing of civilians—which include scores of women and children— is somehow seen as controversial and offensive. You know who called out Israel’s government before Oct. 7? Israelis. Protesting their radical right wing government’s attempts to…

If there were no other and worse comments besides the one quoted here, she didn’t say anything that would be cause for termination. The Israel-born genocide studies historian Omer Bartov was on Amanpour & Co last week criticizing Israel’s response in the war. He said their actions didn’t amount to genocide just yet,…

I was checking out Showtime’s OnDemand and saw they had the 2023 AVN Awards. As I’ve never seen the porn awards before, thought I’d try it. This dude was the MC. He wasn’t funny. And I have no idea what the dress code for these things usually are, but all the porn stars were wearing super gaudy outfits. I thought that…

I don’t really remember the movie and her, but I want to say she’s very good-looking. She “doesn’t look like she did 20 years ago”—no, she looks better.
