Watching a good life affirming movie does it for me. I watched Jacques Tati's 'Mon Oncle' and I nearly cried because it was so sane.

I know. I can't think of anything I felt less like doing on election night. I prefer sex to be joyous, not apocalyptic.

This film always makes me unaccountably sour, because I was forced to take my young cousins to see it, while all the cool kids were lining up to see 'Wayne's World'.

And here was I thinking that Dat Boi was the all-time low for stupid, incomprehensible memes.

We're paddling through a sea of shit, in a shit canoe, with a paddle made of shit.

Cavalcade definitely ranks in the top ten for 'Movies that were critically lauded in their times but really don't hold up'. Right up there with American Beauty and Crash.

The brilliant Marsha Hunt, 99 years young.

Please do not mention those two in the same sentence, unless that sentence is "2016 is the shitty, shitty year that took away Bowie and gave us Trump."

I know, who calls their kid 'Stirling Silliphant'?

HECK YEAH. The idea of Jeeves being a secret wizard … that's all kinds of awesome right there.

TOO SOON.

Not at all. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Harry Potter fan and I'm fascinated by the 1920s, and yet my compulsion to see this is near zero. Weird, isn't it?

Hooray! You're right!

Por que no los dos?

GOD LET'S JUST GET THIS ELECTION OVER WITH SO WE CAN RETREAT TO OUR POST-APOCALYPTIC BUNKERS OR REASONABLY OK FAMILY BUNGALOWS AS NECESSARY.

Still, Mike Patton did some weird, pee-related shit and I've got no desire to send his ass to jail.

No. And yet strangely appropriate. I pray that we're all not about to get f'ed up the a tomorrow.

… and already I'm more interested than I ever will be in an actual Big Bang Theory prequel.

And the people behind me at a stand-up gig last night who responded to every joke with "Oh, that's so TRUE!" or, even better, "THAT'S FUNNY!"

Sheldon and Leonard were both named after the 1940s B-movie actor Sheldon Leonard, one of producer Chuck Lorre's favorite actors.
