The author of the book Katy Ward said to Stephen Colbert last night, “Melania, who I know is a friend of your show..” which was pretty funny, he appreciated the jest.

But but, she speaks 7 languages! 6 of them absolutely horribly. And I’m not even sure her first language skills are that hot either. 

I almost never drink soda, but I was out of beer the other night and grabbed a Canada Dry Ginger ale w Orangeade that was in the fridge. I couldn’t believe how sugary it was, I couldn’t finish it. Lesson: I should stick to Bud Light.

Back in the late 80s when raves and acid house and Ecstasy were all the rage, Pet Shop Boys were working with Liza on an album ( which became the truly excellent and recommended Results). Chris Lowe cackled, “We’re gonna call it Liza With An E !

Yeah, Thanks MTV. In the 90s they were all “Young conservatives need to be heard too!” and gave us this insufferable dingbat, as well as (awful now GOP Congresscritter) Sean Duffy and his Pedro-hating wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, now hating on liberals on Fox, natch. All these people have gotten much worse, not better.…

Why did Fox choose a black woman whose fame on their network is that she cheated on behalf of HRC?

I sincerely scarcely get your complaint. That “Wanda” was “problematic” and objectionable.? I just found it a very funny film that has held up well, it’s still funny. I don’t remember- oh wait, it this about stuttering or stammering? That’s the “problematic” part? Well, you have my full sympathy. It’s still a very…

SNL lifts stuff all the time, especially in an age where 24 hour Twitter spreads jokes and funny takes better and faster than any writers’ room. One of the best sketches last year with Clare Foy, extremely funny and well done, “The War In Words” was completely stolen and re-polished from an earlier Comedy Central…

Nicely expressed!

Now I want to see Jacques Pépin On Broadway!, preferably with tap-dancing, on his way to the EGOT he deserves.

Haha, indeed. I recall interviews with Daphne where she exasperatedly sighs and says, “Yes, I know Mosley advocated terrible things, I reject them. But as a child, he was always nice to meee.” I like Daphne, but she has this upper-class obliviousness that reads as dense. 

Diana was also grandmother to socialite/fashion muse Daphne Guinness (whose father is the current Lord Moyne). Daphne went on an angry tear about a “scurrilous” book about Diana.

I’m fond of Debo too. She became Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, which is fun to say. Saw her on television in her latter years, she was raising exquisite, exotic chickens on the estate.

One thing I like about Abbi’s lovable dumbass role that 100,000 other actors could have played, all of them, Katie, is that Abbi liked to draw and make art. Terrible art, but you rarely see that on TV, and i hear it mirrored her life somewhat, doing terrible art. And these two girls really did make this show out of…

Well said, especially the last part. Fantastic Four came out in 1961. So you can say the premise was “goofy”, and it was, but it was actually complex for a comic meant to be read by children and teenaged boys.

There was some comics blog that noted correctly I think, when in doubt, Chris Claremont always resorted to MIND CONTROL for his characters.  Once you see it, you can’t not see it. 

I sort of aged out superhero comics before Gambit came along to my previously beloved X-Men (the Claremont/Byrne years).

I like this show but I’m sort of glad it’s ending. It never stopped exploiting LGBTQ people for laughs or its wokeness cred, it never stopped. Ilana could have called herself quadrisexual, it doesn’t matter. (In real life, she’s heterosexual and a fierce careerist who doesn’t smoke pot, she’s intense about advancing…

I would love that. Actually it’s a thing, a concept and idea that has been discussed for over ten years at AV Club, it comes up. Fantastic Four meets Mad Men, early 60s, Jack Kirby as art director and also director of dynamism, Kapow! and blowing our minds.

Call me when she confirms she’s not in an intergalactic battler of Xenu and her cult stops exploiting and harming people.
