Apparently the Greeks had more than one! Collectively called the Anemoi, which I think most people haven't heard of, so I feel better. (Roman wind deities were called Venti, which isn't it a Starbucks size?)

That's at least better than calling the love of your life a morbid and patronizing nickname because she's a forensic pathologist. Quite the romantic sex talk those two must have.

I didn't see Jeopardy because of book club, but on the way there it was very windy and I wondered who the Greek/Roman god of wind was. I should know it, dammit, but I don't!

Funny you said this, because I'm been playing on loop the oldy but goody Patty Griffin's "One Big Love"—"Everybody do like a monkey/Everybody go on and be funky." Pure joy I say, and hell, we need that at the moment.

I think they're married, with children, so why she doesn't deck him when he still calls her "Bones" is beyond me.

Warning: shallow, sexist comment ahead. Kidman looks pretty good here. I can't see her what her critics say is botched plastic surgery. She's also worked hard to be one of the best actresses of her generation.

Niki Caro. The Zookeeper's Wife trailer looked like another WWII savior movie, but now that I know Caro's directing, I might watch it, Jessica Chastian's seemingly bad accent and all (I'm sure it's very accurate). Whale Rider gives her a bit of a long pass. And I just loved Ebert's enthusiasm for it.

I don't know what the long-term smart play is here for Dems. Do they work with him on moderate issues when he's a desperate for a win, when they can make demands and shut out the extreme wing of the Republican party altogether and hope it helps drive their obselescence—or do they uniformly and consistently obstruct…

My favorite quote of the day is Jeanine Pirro defending Trump by saying that since he's a businessman, no one expected him to "understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process." It's not like there's a pervasive belief that America should be run like a business or anything.

Holy crap, you just made me realize that the Wiz was the fascist agent on Colony, the former weirdly provides a credible backstory for that character.

—This episode most of the characters insulted each other for behavior they themselves were doing. My favorite: Davis on the phone calling Crawford a lush with a drink in her hand late at night, and Warner with a drink in his hand, or about to have one, doing the same thing early in the morning. Brutality follows the…

Plus one to Ms. Wright (the fantastic Ms. Wright) for reading the late, great Kevin Starr. Since she mentions living in Brooklyn, and The Americans shoots there, I take it Martha won't have just that one cameo. As I said on the reviews, Pauline and Mamasita are the most sensible characters on the show, and that final…

Had the exact same thought. Yeah, you can't write about a Cuban-American in Hollywood in the 1950s without knowing that he may have had a hard time of it. Not to mention in the show, Ricky was always complaining about how hard it was to get work, though they never brought up for obvious reasons maybe that had an…

What did you say about my wife?! How dare you? Edit: This joke works better when I misread the last word as "appear." Wah, wah.

If he's still writing that Cate-Blanchett-playing-Lucille-Ball project, I am genuinely looking forward to it.

While not the best, it was a fantastic movie, on the top ten of that year.

I'm not seeing my notifications. Disquis may be an equal opportunity shitty thing.

I don't disagree with that! It's not active racism but you are condoning racism. Or maybe it is active racism not being racist yourself but voting for one. I'm trying to take what I can get here.

He kidnaps her and keeps her in a a reservoir.

Did Lifetime start making good movies, recently? I wouldn't have thought a hard-hitting docudrama about Flint would be on that channel.
