barbecue is the only one I could see working, since most bbq sauces are sugar laden already.

“do justice to the richness and complexity of the story.”

The Great Escape, but with a chicken.

I love them both, but I have unreserved love for the sheer quirkiness of Doom Patrol. It follows so many weird plot threads I never expect and still manages to have realistic character drama. Umbrella Academy just does it to a lesser extent, and it relies heavily on conventional story arcs that even I can see coming…

I was thinking “I never knew those were the words” at first but as they went along— and by the time he got to “Daisy”— now I’m wondering which ones I was just hearing clearly for the first time and which were Deke’s own spins and/or mishearings.

Personally, I would put Doom Patrol ahead of this, but maybe because I watched it more recently. Even then, I would put The Tick ahead of both of those.

Post-WWII there was panic that women would try to stay in the jobs they had taken over during the war and a push to make sure they got back in the kitchen and stayed there.

I was an extra for a couple of episodes. The attention to detail was amazing and it was a really fun set to work on.

One of the most (if not the most) depressing things about growing old isn’t so much how fast the times change as how fast they can change back.

I wasn’t sure if Hazel and Cha Cha would be in season 2, but he’s in the trailer...and she’s presumably in the press release the article is drawing from.

Neat. Call me when the show has better dialogue and characters written as people to give a shit about.

A lot of this show is shot near my girlfriend’s house in Hamilton, Ontario. Last time I was up there, we got to walk around a lot of the exterior sets and facades that are set up all along the main drag. Pretty cool. The detail in them is amazing, and it’s trip to see them on the show now.

That wasn’t really that uncommon. His Girl Friday and Philadelphia Story are also about divorces. One of the sad things about post-WWII backlash is that movies from the 1930s and 1940s were often way more empowering for women than the gross stuff from the 1950s and 60s. The heroine in “The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer”…

Shearer had already won the Best Actress Oscar for THE DIVORCEE, nine years earlier.

Left to right: Norma Shearer, Joan Fontaine, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, and Mary Boland.

In the end, I liked the smaller women to women scenes in this movie, than the over-arching plot. As I mentioned above, I really loved the scene between Mary and the brutally-efficient secretary.

There’s a scene where Norma Shearer’s character is crying with her mother nearby, and she starts going through her mom’s purse looking for a hankie and it was so natural and real. Also, the scene with Stephen’s secretary as she efficiently goes down the list of matters to be dealt with post-divorce (e.g. “Do you plan…

One of the best old Hollywood movies. I’ve seen it multiple times, and know almost all the lines (“What are you made up for:the seeing eye?”).

The Women is funny, outrageous and comes as close to the definition of camp as any film I can think of. But damn is it shrill, after a while the decimal pitch starts to grind and wear on you, it’s like walking into a kennel of yapping bitches (apologies to Crystal.) But when one really steps back, it really shoe-horns…
