Oh good. I was worried Ellen might turn down the chance to make another $100 million or so. 

I dunno. I loved his <i>Women on the Verge..</i> Saw his previous ones on VHS. I went to Spain and had affairs that were sexy dumb and stupid.

“I don’t think Game Of Thrones will get enough credit for how funny it was at times,..” Is this really true? Maybe in brief bits. My impression of Game of Thrones is thet its heavily, deadly serious . I don’t think I’m wrong. 

Julia Roberts has spent the last 30 years, the entirety of her stardom, bitching and grousing about everything, so this isn’t surprising. She’s a profoundly sour person and always has been.

The idea of HM and Meghan in a “screaming match” is really hilarious. The writers at US really got imaginative there. “And then banished her to Africa”- omg I’m in stitches. This is like science fiction, it’s so off.

Washington Post headline: Toddler apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border dies after weeks in hospital and writes, “A 2½-year-old Guatemalan boy apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border died Tuesday..”

My pleasure.  :) 

Tom Petty was sly and wonderful and his music was great. It took me a while to fully appreciate that. Ha, I remember fighting Russian trolls at the Guardian UK a few years ago. they were so stupid, they seemed to think he was some jingoistic, nationalistic asshole righty like Trump. Maybe because he wrote “American…

I love Alex McLevy’s choice of the Fran Lebowitz documentary by Scorsese. She’s so gnarly and unpleasant and interesting. A total snob of the first degree, but she used to drive a cab and then fell in with the 70s Warhol crowd. She’s funny and arch in her occasional writing, but still a snob. She hates when plebians…

Saw Black Girl from 1966 on TCM. A really impressionistic film in the 60s French New Wave style. (Original title, La Noire de.. which implies a certain ownership of her as a domestic servant, that “de” meaning “of”, as in, she’s theirs.) By an African filmmaker (Ousmane Sembéne) who went on to greater acclaim, It’s…

Oh hai. Trump is establishing a strongman dictatrorship in front of our eyes. Where he doesn’t answer to Congres, he doesn’t answer to the Press. Doubts are aloud whether he will go willingly if he loses in 2020 or incite violence or a civil war. This is where we’re at with this unhinged maniac (are you ready for a…

What did I copy and paste? No, I wrote it, and I know that when Amy Poehler sits in First Class on an airplane she hides from fans by covering her face with a magazine. She doesn’t want to meet the rabble. I don’t blame her, or Tina Fey, they are very rich entertainment professionals who really hate their fans. …

And yeah. Americans have had zero creativity in the making of the film industry, across the vast and broad twentieth century. Spielberg and the people who made the Star Wars or Marvel movies were all English or Canadian. Sure.   Americans are incapable of making movies, despite the entire 20th century into the 21st.…

Then why are you badgering me, when I don’t give a shit and my sardonic comment flew over you head, whoosh. It was just a stupid joke, calm down. Episode ten million of Canadians bragging about how humble they are, but then they get angry if they don’t get credit for all the shit TV shows filmed there. I love Canada,…

Oh cool, I was waiting for Amy Poehler to create a sitcom mocking working class women with names like “Debra”. How tacky! Looking forward to this grindingly unfunny thing, Amy Poehler making fun of white working-class people. Did Trump 2020 pledge money to this show? Amy Poehler has run out of her grace period…

I had some hardback compendium of Superman stories when I was a 70s kid, maybe I stole it from the library, maybe I didn’t- (Ok I didn’t steal it, I was just really overdue forever with this volume.)

Kim’s look was that of a greasy rubberized sphincter on a sex doll. Or a condom thrown away after messy butt sex.  Kanye looked tranquilized.  

I’ve told this story before, but I was friends with a painter who was also friends with Susan, and one night in 1992 at the opening show of his paintings, I rather importuned her by saying, “Oh Ms. Sontag, I loved ‘Notes on Camp’, I read it when I was 16 and..” and she cut me off with a laugh, “Ha! I wrote it when…

Agree very much about Natasha Lyonne in Gaultier paying tribute to Klaus Nomi, swooping bat-shoulders with a glass pill-purse full of cigarettes. There’s also an aspect of a redhead playing with navy, something I recall that was tried in the 80s in a few perfume ads, the fashion people did not go for it. There are a f…

“Her appeal is just becoming more selective”.
