I think ‘reconnaissance marine’ is clunky. Why not something dashing like ‘Reconnaissant’? ‘Reconnoiter-er?’ ‘Perimeter-checker-outer?’

Now, everybody knows that one’s inner slut is the very force that makes big boobs grow in the first place! Propter hoc, bitchez!

Yeah, but why can I never find a single pint size of almond milk? I’ve never tried it, and fuck if I’m gonna shell out for a whole quart or half-gallon of the stuff just for testing.

You know, maybe if we started calling people ‘probably a rapist’, the amount of social cover creeps currently enjoy would begin to degrade. And maybe creeps would behave better.

Picking another nit, that’s Oscar-nominee Janet McTeer, not McNeer, as Petruchio. She played Glenn Close’s genderbending buddy in Albert Nobbs.

Also, the acting awards that didn’t go to POC went to geezers, which warmed my old lady’s heart.

Yeah, but teevees don’t have brower caches that need clearing...

Even if this is true, it’s not the same thing. A coach is a mentor, sure. But a Catholic priest is supposed to be GOD’S INTERMEDIARY ON EARTH, and the sole person who holds your eternal soul’s salvation in his hand. That level of mind fuckery when abused can’t really compare.

After having seen him on a number of chat shows, I’d say ‘benignly ignorant’ is his Default Setting. Not the brightest bulb in the box, is my impression.

There are studies that show that predators like this are happy to admit to raping all their victims, only as long as the word ‘rape’ isn’t used. Just because he had sex with them (consent doesn’t count, because it’s not a factor in his mental processes), doesn’t make him a Rapist! Rapists are Bad People! And he…

I listen to “Where Time Stands Still” at least once a week and I always have to, you know, stop to listen to it. It’s not a background song; it requires a specific attention from me.

Now, now: poor people can ALWAYS be prosecuted for being poor.

It sorta hit me as though they did a face mash-up with Scarlett Johannson. It’s Kerlett Washingsson!

Keep the Thor in Thursday!

I have a theory that the inarticulateness allows sympathetic listeners to mentally fill in the blanks with whatever they wish he’d said, and imagine he’d actually said those things. Which makes them like him more, because he speaks for them!

White men exclusively played Othello (usually in blackface) on stage until 1833, and mostly continued doing so afterwards. In the movies, they did so until 1995, when Fishburne took the role. Count Gielgud, Olivier, Anthony Hopkins, and Orson Welles among the famous white men who’ve played him in blackface.

Aww, come on, He did that movie once where his character’s flashback teenage girlfriend (Lena Headey!) has a lit-candle abortion (yeah, not making that up, sorry), and then grew up infertile (and Iron’s RL wife Sinead Cusack), which made her sad and crazy and all, which in turn made adult Jeremy’s character sad and…

Me, I started rounding. To the closest 5 year mark. So when I was 38, I rounded to 40. Much easier that way.

I grew up in a household that didn’t care about movie ratings. We saw what we wanted. We saw everything (including the occasional Nekkid Boob or Butt), and it struck me totally weird that my classmates’ parents forbade them from going to an R, even with adult accompaniment. I only remember being traumatized by the…

Avail yourself of modern science! (Srsly, allergy treatments have gotten so much better, and are now OTC — nasocort has allowed me all the kitty cuddles I want!)
