My husband and I love it (although we are not your typical Americans - I am first generation and grew up hopping the Atlantic, while my husband is South American by birth, and both of us have in the past lived in the U.K. and continue to have a special fondness for London). We’re also history buffs, so the show is…

I’m with Cherith on this. Her life would have been easier if she had remained the daughter of the second son and been given a title (or even better, if, as Cherith says, she had simply been born to a member of the nobility). That’s not to say that she isn’t incredibly privileged, but her job is much tougher than it…

I had the same reaction when I watched the movie again recently.

Best scene in an otherwise fun but fluffy, treacly movie.

Exactly. On the one hand, the supernatural stuff could be a load of bunk. Serial killers, on the other hand, are real.

Please tell me the one with the sleepy New England town, the pond, etc. did not happen in southern Connecticut.

Yep. I say this about “Silence of the Lambs”. That movie to me is more terrifying than any slasher/supernatural flick because serial killers are real and Buffalo Bill was a composite of more than one such killer.

It is. I’ve experienced it. In my case I was taking a nap (flat on my back) at dusk one evening and didn’t actually see anyone but had the sense that something malicious was in my apartment with me, and that it would be coming into the bedroom at any moment. And I couldn’t move my limbs at all. Just terrifying. I…

The best part was when Larry saw her with another bald guy who looked just like him. I was dying.

No, but I really don’t get the appeal. I never really cared for him, even in his younger Spicoli days. Del Toro, on the other hand, is much more understandable. Although lately it always looks like he hasn’t slept for days, he was quite attractive when he was younger, and he’s got that brooding, sensual Latin American…

I’m just going to leave this here.

Definitely their hitting needs to improve against the Astros. No argument from me there. I don’t know much about Houston because I haven’t been following baseball closely this year, but I assume any team still left standing has solid pitching. Aaron Judge in particular needs to step it up for the Yanks. I still think…

Definitely some help from Cleveland but let’s not forget that Cleveland was supposed to win it all this year. In fact the Yankees should have put this away in four if not for Girardi’s blown call in Game 2. I’m not saying they will win against the Astros/Dodgers, only that it is possible based on them beating…

If they can outplay Cleveland, I would say they have a shot.

My understanding is that he lost the locker-room (which perhaps speaks more to the players’ egos than anything) and was not so great from a tactical standpoint.

I was talking about “Nothing Compares to You”.

That song was actually written by Prince, but O’Connor did sing the shit out of it.

I’d agree with that as a general matter, although I am sure there are exceptions. Also, a 10-year age gap becomes less of an issue, I think, as one ages. For example, I met my husband when I was 29 and he was 38, and we’re still going strong 7 years later.

Ok, but still, it seems overdone, no? If the Duke of Edinburgh can live with being a duke and not a king consort (especially now that England has changed its succession laws to put women of the royal family on equal footing with the men), why can’t this guy? It just seems rather petty to me - he married a Queen and…

I also meant to add, I went to college with a few (including an Oscar-winning actress) and I generally thought the same thing. They were short and most people wouldn’t look twice at them if they passed them in the street - imo, definitely not “stop in your tracks” gorgeous.
