Thanks. From how this article is written, how other media is reporting it, and the celebrity tweets, it appeared they actually violated her. Two older, authoritative acclaimed men springing it on a nineteen year old woman last minute without a chance for her to raise her concerns in a scene like that is still awful…

Jesus! I'm so sorry, Wafflicious. Lots of love going your way.

This is awful. I haven't seen the movie and now I never will. Because of I haven't seen it, let me get it straight and ask if I got it right: she was told about the rape scene right before, but she wasn't told at all that butter would be used to penetrate her for the lubricant. So Brando violated her with his hand…

But Katarina Witt, man. I think she did a Playboy pictorial once. The Cold War had its bright (sexy) spots.

No, no potty mouth, except frequent exclamations of "Damn" followed by "we're in a tight spot!" The music is gorgeous. "Go to Sleep, Little Baby"; "Keep On the Sunny Side of Life"; "I'll Fly Away" and "Man of Constant Sorrow." You can watch it with your kids and they'll learn something about American history, too.

Yep, I figured. It also sounded like the amazing Stephen Root's character. Blind, Southern Jimmy James!

I forgot who said that. If it was Pappy O'Daniel, he and his equally large sons were hilarious.

Don't forget Holly Marie Combs, not a MILF exactly, but who cares? Women, it turns out, are pretty sexy to straight men and gay women. Wonders of nature.

A rewatch of the Coen's Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?. It's on Netflix. I think I adore this movie, ranking it one of their best*, which is saying something. They are highly entertaining on the surface story so a rewatch for me revealed an imaginative allegory of America in this adventure tale-comedy-musical. All the…

Yes, Keith Hernandez, kissing Julia Louis-Dreyfus eighty times must have been awful. *rolls eyes* Heidi Swedberg doesn't much look like Susan anymore; still love her voice. Okay, Michael Richards. I remember Seinfeld's Letterman appearance where he brought in Richards on satellite to talk to Dave. Richard's achingly…

A good excuse to post Ronny Cox's catchy "Trumped" again. Sadly, it did not work.

I know five of those people. Ray Walston is the "one isn't like the others." I'd like to think he's up in Heaven laughing-getting into exasperating arguments with Fyvush Finkel.

I wouldn't have expected Hacksaw Ridge to be one of the critical darlings. Not because Mel Gibson doesn't make great movies, but just because, actually, well, for no reason. Guess I was thinking of the criticism that he likes savior stories with lots of gore and violence. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I…

I like to know as little as possible about books, TV series, and movies before I watch/read them. It's pleasurable speculating out of the many ways the story can be told so far, which road it'll eventually take. Black Mirror is masterful at this, in creating whatever tone it wants to and then possibly switching it up…

Finished Black Mirror "San Junipero" about twenty minutes ago, and if you've seen the episode, you can guess what I've been not quite doing since, on YouTube. Spoiler tags for the jokes and even vague lines because you have to go into this masterpiece completely cold.

Oh you're the apotheosis of stupid ;) Funny that every teenager and young adult invariably thinks they know everything, but really they know nothing until life, the best and most brutal teacher, comes in to say, "I got some plans for you, kid." (I'm talking like an old man here instead of a person in my thirties, so I…

Ah, she's 24, which explains everything and is kind of a relief. I think it's a truth universally acknowledged that people in their 20s, by sympathetic definition, are still morons. She has more time to educate herself, live a lot more life, and gain some empathy—or she would have if her views weren't financially…

Really?! I haven't seen that one. What's the title? (And, yay, I think like Rod Serling! Or it's just a common idea.)

Yeah, that really comes through in the book: his preternatural talent for spotting it very quickly.

Of course. *slaps forehead* I forgot for a moment that TV must have its beautiful people. Note to self: write sci-fi story where everyone on TV is normal looking to ugly, and its effects on the politics and culture of the world.
