The family has a combined wealth of $1.6 billion. (Yeesh.) Those children will always be able to preserve their bubble.

Owing to your first sentence clause, I read your entire story to the tune of Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” and then I felt really awkward about that when I got to the end.

Think of this way: the deference, pomp, and circumstance is less for the monarch and more for the monarchy. They’re not bowing to their mom/grandma/wife/et al, they’re bowing to their Queen. Whenever she’s acting in capacity as Queen, a public figurehead, and only when she’s acting in that capacity, is the bow…

If we’re going off what’s shown on the Crown, family members don’t bow/curtsy to Elizabeth every time they see her, only within certain, usually more formalized contexts.

But it's pretty clear from the anecdote that Stallone was bested in every way by Gere. Nothing about this suggests that they were on the same level at all. 

First, Joan, the show is on Hulu, not Amazon.

Cragen hugs make it all better. 

Thanks, Ming, for the inspiration you brought to Dick Wolf and to us all.

It mostly bugs me just because “former ex” would imply their having gotten back together.

The collective local service industry pretty much universally adores her. Once one of my coworkers complimented SJP on the way she smelled, and the…

Haha! Your mom is coming from a place of principles at least. My mom disallowed Three’s Company which, as a kid, led me to assume it contained racy adult content that was going over my head. I later learned it was just because my mom thought the show was silly, and my viewing habits were otherwise largely unsupervised.…

Grease or Pretty Woman would be more inappropriate movies for children than Mannequin.

The studio usually pays for them as promotional effort for an upcoming project. Dunst herself is not shelling out the requisite $30k. 

It’s bizarre to think about because it’s entirely inaccurate.

First, you’re rude. Second, oh the irony of you calling me obtuse!

So your argument for why it can’t be so is because Friends came out after Living Single? The Friends producers have actually said they were inspired by LS, so it’s a weird hill to die on.

Pardon, but Friends as based on Living Single. The producers literally said they wanted a white version of that show.

Daily Show and Colbert Report were rough when they first started out. Give her time.
