I vaguely remember the trailers. I didn’t even realize it was a Polanski film.

For a second I thought you meant Ghost Writer, the PBS show about a group of diverse tweenage friends who solve crimes and teach grammar with the help of a ghost.

My understanding is that girls were very much into He-Man, which is why Mattel decided to combine He-Man and Barbie with the She-Ra toys.

I’m not an 80's child, but my sister and older cousin were, so I had a fuck-ton of hand me down Masters of the Universe, Princess of Power, and Thundercats merchandise, toys, and video cassettes and I’m not going to lie, I got kind of angry that the He-Man reference flew over this writer’s head.

You should take that Lori Mattix story with a huge pinch of salt. For years, she claimed she lost her virginity to Jimmie Page when she was 15, then when she got involved in a book on groupies, she starts telling the Bowie story where she loses her virginity at 14.

At least one person, Sable Starr, called her out on…

In the public’s defense, they’re not coming out for Allen and Polanski’s films.

At this point, Woody Allen films are just cheaply produced vanity projects for studios and actors that garner critical acclaim and awards but the returns are diminishing.

I’m a film nerd, and I can’t even remember the last time Polanski…

Bran remembers her telling the story of the Night’s King in A Storm of Swords.

I don’t think the White Walker being turned was the Night’s King. In the books, there’s a little fairy tale that gets told a few times that is supposedly the origins of the Night’s King.

Only broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. face fines. Technically (short of hardcore pornography) cable television can show whatever they want without worrying about fines, they just run the risk of losing advertisers.

Yeah, it was pointless replying though because (going through some other threads) Space Moth is just a contrarian bordering on troll.

Yes. I remember seeing him on Comedy Central as a kid in the 90's. I think that maybe it was the early version of The Daily Show when they were still try to figure out exactly what The Daily Show was going to be.

There are plenty of women’s nipples on premium cable but that’s not the same as basic cable. Even American Horror Story (which is arguably the most explicit show on basic cable) had to cover up Gaga’s nipples with pasties.

I don’t know about E! but when the subject is surgery, MTV’s True Life has shown breasts unblurred. I remember watching one about a woman getting a breast reduction and screaming; “Oh my God!”

Have you ever read her Wikipedia entry? She’s fascinating. She has a twin sister, she collects skulls and insects, her father is a dentist who just happened to have a small role in a Robert Bresson film, she’s a natural blonde but has dyed her hair black since she was 15...

He was on Big Brother. He joked about two of the guys gang raping a female contestant. Also, he dresses like a toddler.

Yes. I’m from southeastern KY. There’s a stereotype in the other parts of the state that we eat grits. I don’t understand where it comes from because we don’t.

I’m like really sensitive and a lot of foods are just completely disgusting to me and corn is a big one. It’s so gross.

This is a KY thing. Not a Southern thing.

Til this day there is a lot of classism in Eastern KY and the wealthy tend to look down and try to distance themselves from the culture and customs of common hill folk.

It’s extremely likely that her mother just meant poor people food period. My mother is a cook and she gets…

Maybe I was just reading into something that wasn’t there, but hasn’t it been heavily implied that Dorian is tied to (might be) Satan?

Oh, I don’t know about that. Eva has range, all she really needs is a director who is comfortable letting her steal the scene and chew the scenery.

Personally, I’m worried that Penny Dreadful and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children could lead to her being typecast.
