More importantly, Frears’s version had Michelle Pfeiffer as Madame de Tourvel, at a moment when her star was on the rise in Hollywood, which was a huge upgrade over Valmont’s Meg Tilly. This sort of dynamic isn’t uncommon: you have Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Capote vs Toby Jones’s Infamous; you had a couple of Snow…

Seriously, I’m glad somebody else said it- the dumbkoff who got on the wrong plane deserves to be financially inconvenienced. I can’t believe they turned the whole damned thing around for one person.
Agreed. Except for the Princess Margaret scenes this season, everything else was pretty flat compared to the first season. That being said, I still enjoyed watching it.
She was also the star of the (brief) Logan’s Run TV show.
Thank you. We’ve found a rhythm that works for him. Some days are good, some days are bad. In some ways he’s healthier, in others, less so. His company is doing a big thing for him and his friends for New Years, so his spirits are pepped for that. Even on the days when he feels physically ok, he is mentally so…
In that environment nobody would have said anything to her (a pointed look is the height of causing a scene at the palace - I know this from my extensive viewing of The Crown), so she probably felt it was an excellent time for a passive aggressive statement. I’m pleased it backfired. What a shitty thing to do to a…
I agree that FWWM gives an enormous amount of context to The Return and improves with time. Not to mention providing little clues to help you suss out Twin Peaks 3rd season a little better.
I haven’t been able to watch the evening news this week. It is still too painful. It’s not quite as bad as after the election, when I couldn’t bear to watch the news for weeks. But it’s still bad. This is why dogs exist.
I love Meryl. I know a lot of people give her a hard time about defending Roman Polanski raping that 13 year old but the she grew up and has forgiven him. Let it go already people.
I’m not surprised the suit against Venus continues; it’s far easier emotionally to blame her than acknowledge it was just unfortunate.
You can’t do good and be poor at the same time,” Millender testified. “You can’t help the poor and be poor; it makes no sense.”
The capability of rich people to insulate themselves from unpleasant facts through handlers, assistants and media people is well documented. It is plausible that she didn’t know. It is plausible she did know. Did she know? We don’t know.
Nestor The Long-Eared Christmas Donkey is so much better.
I was overseas when my grandmother died, but my uncle very wisely laid down the law to everyone present about keeping it off social media until they could reach me. I barely know this uncle but I’ll always be grateful for that small kindness.
I found out about my geandfather’s death on Facebook, and called my mom (this was her former FIL, not her dad) so she wouldn’t find out online...she already had, from someone else’s facebook, and was about to call me.
The most current thinking is actually that everyone freezes—it’s a split-second (basically indiscernible) moment in which you take in all the information and the animal part of your brain makes a decision based on what’s most likely to keep you alive. That decision is fight, flight, or submit (akin to playing dead, or…
They and their friends can always stay off the streets while the plagues and flus decimate the rest of us.
When are they gonna impeach this old bag of shit already?
As a PR person, all the coaching in the world doesn’t stop some people from running off at the mouth at precisely the wrong time. I have kicked clients under the table, jabbed them with pens and waved my arms frantically behind the interviewer, and often stuff just keeps spewing right out.
