I don’t know why you’re so happy at the death of Filmstruck. You didn’t have to subscribe, but cinephiles really loved it as a place for film culture.

I knew the relationship was doomed when Pete could not shut up about it during the season opener. Don’t know if it’s his fault or the writers’ but it really did make a mockery of the thing, she could not have been pleased.

I was wondering- why don’t these people have jobs? They can just fuck off and role-play commando at the border indefinitely?  Pathetic. 

The qualities of the service, which the people at Filmstruck who love movies and were trying to improve- It doesn’t matter. AT&T acquired Warner, and they bean-counters saw Filmstruck wasn’t making them enough money, even though it was less than two years old.  Boom! goes the axe to anything that doesn’t bring profit…

Well, you didn’t sign up in a heartbeat, and no one’s ever making you watch Filmstruck on your fucking iPhone. Do you really think that Filmstruck forced people to watch their offerings on a fucking iPhone only? Why did you think that ? No, there were many options and ways to watch their excellent selections, but…

There is, obviously, a petition circulating on Change.org right now demanding that Warner Media save the service from, well, itself,

Speaking of t-shirts, the scene in My Best Friend’s Wedding where Julia’s in a tight t-shirt and Daisy Dukes smiling as she’s delivering beers to good ole Americans at a baseball game because she’s a sexy good ole smiling AMERICAN gal was one of the most pandering things I’ve ever seen. She wanted a big hit movie…

I admire your talent for GIF selection, well done. Excellent burn. I’ll bet you pronounce it “jiff”.

(Continued) See, what would have been funnier is is you asked if my mom fucked Julia Roberts. You have no way of knowing this, but my mom is a kindly elderly former nurse whose training as a midwife literally on a bicycle in Ireland and England was Edwardian, and the mechanics of how she’d figure out how to properly…

No, my dad was not in any position to give her a role when she was unknown and working at Foot Locker. Does your mind always go to such vulgar places? Why would I be mad, really, if my dad fucked Julia Roberts? Your attempted comic premise needs some work, there, some “wood” as they say, underneath it. 

How is it Julia Roberts is “coming home to TV” .. oh I get it, she ‘s on a show called “Homecoming”, never mind. See, because Julia Roberts rocketed to A-List international film superstardom at 21 and seemingly has never forgiven humanity since, the masses making her dazzlingly rich and famous like that. Really,…

I’d like to point out how pathetically false that is. They were all Protestant landlords who considered themselves British and not Irish. They considered Irish Catholic peasants vermin that they were happy to get rid of. Starved to death with grass stains on their mouths, mothers and babies literally starved to…

I hear you, and I have great sympathy with Diana, and also with what you say, completely. Total agreement. I’m not some mad Diana fan, but I love how she could scheme and maneuver, and work her image and story. That family treated her rottenly, and their purposeful stripping her of protection probably did lead to…

I just want to thank you for properly adding a comma to the title, which is how it should be. It didn’t have one in the US at least, which drove me crazy. Hollywood seems to hate punctuation in movie titles if they can leave it out.

Devil’s Advocate: Diana was a handful herself, her emotional issues were real, and she was prone to histrionics that baffled him. She lived for drama, a la Dynasty, which she loved. As for PR, Diana played the press like a fiddle, she was really good at it, making Charles look bad. The press really liked her and…

Another funny detail about Philip:  Charles really hates modern art, anything after 1910 is not for him, unless it’s dainty watercolor landscapes like he does. (He’s actually pretty deft and good at it).  But Philip really likes modern art, abstraction and expressionism. At least he did in the 50s and 6os.  When after…

Camilla likes a drink, and until recently, a smoke. She definitely sneaks them though; I love that she kept her own house not far from Highgrove. There she can be casual with her family, see the grandkids, cook and just chill out. Without Charles. She and Charles give each other space and time apart, which works.…

Never mind. 

Tim Gunn: “That’s a LOT of look, Mr. Duck.”

Apologies Mike, and thanks for the post.  I feel bad- I was riffing on the term, and I’m sorry I sounded such a dick to you personally.  I like your articles, best to you.
