I went to high school with her (McCluer North, Class of ‘83 represent!) and while she doesn’t really do roast humor in her act, she would roast people even back then if they did something stupid or gross.

Kathleen would have probably roasted him until he put it away.

I thought she was fine in The Shining. It was Nicholson I hated. It was just him playing a variation on McMurphy for the 15th time. Outside of Chinatown, I found him pretty unwatchable in his youth/early middle age.

Die job, or “Cancer-wig”(TM)?

You can see the difference between an anonymous voice actor and an Emmy winning star, I hope?

I would still contend that if she had been a man and did the same thing, she would have been “a brave truth-teller”.

Huh... it popped up in my feed. I never looked at the date, didn’t realize it was old. That’s happening more and more now, them dumping old articles into my feed.

What she didn’t understand back then was that she was a woman, and women weren’t allowed to have those kinds of opinions. If she had been a dude she would have been “a brave truth-teller” but as a woman she was just a “crazy b*tch”.

It wasn’t really punching down...Shonda was still running the storyline back then. Other peoples names may have been on the scripts, but it was Shonda’s story...and it was awful. It was really the first big mistake Shonda made on the show.

I remember being in love with Amazon back in the day. I’m old enough to remember when books and records would go out of print because booksellers didn’t want to buy one copy of an oldie and hope that it didn’t gather dust for a decade. You would go to a record store or book store and put in a request, and maybe…

“Neurotic, prickly, and quippy” would describe many of Hanks’ roles before he became America’s Dad. Pre-”A League of their Own” and post “A League of their Own” Tom Hanks are almost entirely different actors.

whoops! butt-dialed that reply!

Veronica Mars is where we learned that Kristen Bell is a great singer, years before she did Frozen. She Kareokes the hell out of Blondie’s “One Way Or Another” at some point in season 1, if I recall correctly.

That’s where I was introduced to Garbage’s “Only Happy When It Rains”!

Country music was a last ditch effort for her to succeed in the music business. She had been singing in St. Louis area rock cover bands like Baywolfe since the 1980's, where she had years of experience singing Heart covers.

It turned out that Downey’s drug problems made him a very rich man. Because he was considered such a huge risk, his contract was written so that he go paid almost entirely on the back end. If the movie failed, he would have walked away with almost nothing, but as it was, he made over 50 million in revenue sharing. The…

That’s an unlovely part of Grohl’s personality...he has a long history of popping off, just ask Courtney Love. He kept poking the bear, and when it came time to make decisions about Nirvana’s music, she absolutely fucked him and Kris, all because he couldn’t stop being a snot to her. Everybody knew she was mentally…

I was always disappointed that they never gave him an episode of Hawaii 5-0 where Kamekona could use his underworld past and connections to be the hero of the day while rescuing some or all of the team from immanent peril.  I think it would have been a really fun one-off.

I was always disappointed that she didn’t have a bigger career in Hollywood. She was wasted in Blow. She was great in the Bourne Identity, but I was super pissed when they killed her off(contrary to the books) since she was the main reason that I watched Bourne anyway. I thought a lot of her European stuff was really…

I watched this at the Tivoli in the St. Louis Loop, then imediately afterward walked down the street to Vintage Vinyl and bought the soundtrack.
