I've-Moved-On Wynn isn't as creepy anymore, although you may well find him hobbity. When he was Friendzoned Wynn, though … ugh.

I would hazard to say that it is a thing, if they say it's a thing. But what do I know? Well, not much, to be honest. Only what I read at august publications like this one.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Honestly, despite watching CBS 3 nights a week, I find it very easy to tune out ads for shows I don't watch … except Madam Secretary. So, I have no clue if UB is still on the air.

The Hollow Crown was really, really good … Ben Whislaw was such a good Richard II, and so many other actors brought their A-games. It was well done all around.

Sorry, I meant left out of the announcement of shows being renewed for next season. This is why I don't write Newswires.

Dang it. I can't say this movie was in my wheelhouse, but I had hoped for Mr. Hiddleston's sake that it would be solid. Ah well. At least he's getting lots of praise for The Night Manager, or I'd start worrying about his career.

I assume the newswire is being worked on as we speak, but according to Vulture, CBS has renewed nearly all of its returning shows (not counting the ones previously canceled, like The Good Wife and POI.) First-season series were not included in the announcement. 3 veteran series were also left out, but may be renewed…

I have friends telling friends just to see this for Wonder Woman, which makes me want to throw themselves into my path and cry "NO!" but that won't work, so I won't. But it irks me mightily.

Then why does it smell like Axe Body Spray?

Auto-cannibalism?

Victory!

They make time by skipping study period.

Jacky Ido? Sold. At least for one episode.

My fave RLE role after FMJ is in The Frighteners.

Okay, she's felt Ms. Danner's ladyparts.

Unless Ms. Danner had a c-section, then yes, Gwyneth has seen her mother's lady parts at least ONCE in her life.

The reviewer at Vox thought Gadot/Wonder Woman was the highlight of the whole film. I kinda wish Dowd had mentioned her performance outright.

Satchmo's version of "Mack the Knife" is my favourite non-cast recording, so count me a happy camper. Woo hoo!

Lamb burgers tonight. I'm thinking of doing homemade tandoori chicken tomorrow (which involves marinating the chicken tonight).

1) I may have said this before but … I've been invited to Central Europe this fall to give a talk on privacy and national surveillance in the context of libraries. Expenses paid, though no honorarium.
