Jolt Cola and Mountain Dew were very efficient Red Bull ancestors. ;)

Especially given how good Colin Farrell was in it.

Gah. The most depressing thing about FB is that it's taking up space Libba Bray's similar sinister-magic-in-the-20s series THE DIVINERS should rightfully have.

Ya, Verbinski doesn't get the credit/acclaim he truly deserves. He's a lot like Curtis Hansen in that he insists on tackling different genres and generally does well in all of them. And he's got a twisted unpredictability and an eye for human nature that makes his movies more fun than Chris Nolan (who gets a lot of…

Yeah, boy. Punishing length and endless pummeling action sequences.

Yeah, I call that the "water-cooler/bad reality show moment" effect, which makes initially-great TV shows virtually unwatchable after a season or two. (Looking at you, EMPIRE, HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, and REVENGE.) The writers are so desperate to deliver an endless stream of OMG moments to top the last episode's…

Aah, Depp is just peeved Eva Green stole DS right out from under him.

Yo, but Tim Powers got paid, so there's that.

"The Sex Wax is not what it seems."

The only thing that made me curious about Baywatch Nights was when exactly did Mitch get any sleep.

Once again, Lynch was ahead of the curve. TP's difficulties foreshadowed TV's current "this should have been only one season/a limited-run series" problem. :)

As much as I hate sequels, I hope this will reveal that Evil Agent Cooper did something more productive than take over a Las Vegas casino and have hilariously-bad sex in a pool. ;)

"Well, ever since they shot that poor magpie…"

"Montgomery quickly tired of her most famous creation, adding new orphans Daisy and Dora - inarguably the Cousins Oliver and Olivia of the Anne canon - and ultimately leaving Anne the careworn middle-aged mother of seven children, one of whom perishes in World War I."

Men were entitled. Obscenely-wealthy white men were entitled worst of all. There's a reason the GOP/1% are determined to bring that era back.

IIRC, she spent her last decades living peacefully in Cali and teaching art at a small college. But she struggled with alcoholism/drug addiction. :( Her life was partly the basis for two fictional characters—Gretchen Mol's showgirl in BOARDWALK EMPIRE and CITIZEN KANE's Susan Alexander.

White wasn't much of an emotional prize either—a serial womanizer with a toxic sense of entitlement. "The Architect Of Desire" is a fascinating bio written by his great-grandaughter.

One of my favorite Newport mansions. ;) And the Gilded Age produced a run of fascinating architects in general. The freshman dorm at my HBCU alma mater Hampton University was designed by Richard Morris Hunt, who did notable work for the Vanderbilts, among others. Virginia-Cleveland is a huge Gothic beauty that is…

Ehehehe. An excellent point. Yeah, subtlety has never been Baldwin's long suit.

A truly hateful flick. One gets the feeling Snyder got off on putting his actresses through that "empowering" bullshit.
