I’m sure - that and the tobacco use. Bad air and sanitation was well into the 20th century. My relatives in London were pretty much living in a slum till the 50s. Funny now as it is an uber gentrified area - Mile End. And the clean air act was only in 1952. Peasoupers were a reality till after the war.

He chooses wives with the same hair. Weird.

He offered in her anecdote and she may have been younger, like 14. Though I always wonder why/how old Warren seemed to date women with significant gay rumours attached. Hmmm - Hollywood for you. I have the Julia Philips book You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town again and it is very interesting about old Warren. He…

Starred for Alyssa gif and details.

This was 1979 apparently not today. Harrison would get it any decade. He is a bit magic. Same for Redford.

Eva also had the tiny tiny fascist mouth.

Woodie Guthrie wrote a song about Fred Trump slum landlord. That is all we need know.

I still can’t get over Kushner being named “Jared Corey,” like he was conceived at a BMX tournament.

Ivanka is right now picking out gold plated lion head taps for the White House bathrooms. Like something from Ceaucescu’s palace. Dictators love their gold toilets. It is a key sign of a psychopath.

I am sure he and pals with push through a Dakota pipeline. That will get done.

tell myself “oh just you wait my precious, naive little flower. Just you wait”

Oh they prettied up N&S a bit for TV. But I liked the actors in it. It wasn’t so bad but not exactly authentic. Funny because old 80s BBC Dickens adaptations like the Diana Rigg version of Bleak House and Hard Times really made it mucky and poor. I really loved the Anna Friel Our Mutual Friend too. I guess bigger…

We know Melania isn’t Polish. Except people who resort to horrific ethnic and racial slurs. They tend not to be that good at geography. They only know the people they don’t like.

They are only kids (13 & 7) so I don’t show them ALL. They like the funny lady men in the little ones words. I guess in the UK we have pantomine and that is all about drag so it is fine too.

They have “british” accents (or what Americans like as generic English voices) because it indicates olden times. Hollywood invented the rule not us in the UK. British people, most of us don’t actually speak like that innit. If you heard us, you would be puzzled and maybe a bit frightened. :)

Dan Stevens can go either way. Limp Noodle Matthew or set your pants on fire in The Guest. He is playing to general audience so the former is possible.

She looks really tired these days. The woman is a humour vacuum and couldn’t get more pointed if she tried. Except maybe wearing a klan hood. Be dum.

Steve Bannon and friends would vote for segregation as US tradition today.

I always get that head tingly thing. It is nice.

I haven’t seen the film but I have seen The Piano Teacher. It isn’t for everyone but Isabelle is amazing in it playing a character trying to live here BDSM fantasies before the internet came along. A very strange film because Michael Haneke.
