Dude was smoking hot and a New Yorker (which oddly is a turn on?).

The Dietrich/Von Sternberg team was all about style, and Lodge was very sexy indeed, but Douglas Fairbanks Jr in the Elisabeth Bergner version is about as sexy a man as ever graced the screen (he had just left Hollywood and 1st wife Joan Crawford to make this film in London)

Looky-looky! It’s on YouTube! Enjoy.

This one was a HOOT:

For those film fans who are interested, two great Catherines - both worth seeing; both very high style - were Marlene Dietrich in The Scarlet Empress and Elisabeth Bergner in The Rise of Catherine the Great (both 1934).

“we failed to resolve [the incident] in a way that made either side feel supported,”

So this is next...

I was going to try and play Devil’s Advocate based on experience (hey, it counts!), but, on IMDB, Adele actually has more writing and producing credits than Peter, although her writing is primarily TV, Peter only has 3 screenplays to his credit to her 14 - so that explanation is actually NOT A THING!

I will not “chill out, dude”. “Even if she did something horrible” is EXACTLY the problem I’m having here.

Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no

If you a child, not a fetus or a clump of cells in your womb but an actual child that is now in the world, I don’t care if you were “victimized by patriarchy”, your ass needs to go to prison for a couple of decades and maybe read some Dworkin, Hooks, and other authors while you have so much time to contemplate the…

It was fun laughing about this until it struck me that there are literally tens of millions of people for whom this is some real, no-bullshit, truth bomb cinema, then I just got sad. 

The cat advice is bullshit. If you get them when they’re kittens and never let them out, even if your apartment is small, they won’t care. (If you get an older cat that has been used to the outdoors, it will be more difficult. Build a catio.) But hey, if you want your cat to die 10 years before its time from being hit…

To LW #2, take pictures/short videos of yourself locking the door/blowing out candles so you have some evidence with which to counteract your anxiety. <3

Yeah, keep your cat inside, arrange a place for it by a window where it can observe the world, and play with it whenever you can with like fancy feather wands and stuff. My friend’s cat was just run over by a neighbor the other day, and somebody else’s cat was grabbed by a coyote a few months ago. They can exercise…

I was fully thinking she was being unreasonable until I saw that it wasn’t just a lookalike, they used actual photos of her to sell shit.

A close friend of mine - an absolutely lovely, kind, funny person - died unexpectedly a few years ago at only age 45. That evening I got together with mutual friends so we could support one another in our shock and grief. One friend, through her tears, raised her face to the sky and exclaimed “And Ted NUGENT is still…

She is scaring the shit outta racists and I just wish racists didn’t try to shoot everyone that scares them.

I didn’t see this and I blame Las Vegas itself.
