I have the Tennis Channel and my husband and I are watching. We watched the Murray match until 1. It isn’t the greatest tournament but it beats baseball, exhibition football and what passes for sports in August.

I sometimes write online articles for an alt-weekly newspaper’s website.  I get paid $25 an article.

There’s a lot of weird and interesting stuff in the very convoluted book that adaptations have left out in the past. I wonder if the series will include some of it like the Count (who really is not an admirable person) going after the kids of his tormentors and pretty much causing a child’s death, a strongly implied…

I think the idea of the guy holding the cards is that these are films aimed largely at women with women leads. The main character naturally has more to overcome to win over their loved one in any genre. In more guy-oriented romantic comedies, such as a lot of Judd Apatow’s work, you can see the male leads having to…

I went to Portland and definitely enjoyed those gardens. But I went to Voodoo Doughnuts and the line was massive. You will have to decide how much time those doughnuts are worth, especially when fancy doughnut places are popping up everywhere. But VD is close to Powell’s Books and that is a must-see!

This movie is also being produced by Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, both of whom almost exclusively make blockbuster-style films or at least larger budget prestige films. Horror can work on a big scale, like the recent It or Poltergeist, which these two helped make. But this is a short story that seems to call…

I don’t deny that it has bad effects for some but Accutane was a miracle drug for me. I took it once at the age of 20 and my facial and back acne went away, scars and breakouts and all. I have never had a problem with acne again.

I have been hearing the term “gaslighting” a lot lately. It is a word that should be connected to real mentally abusive manipulation but is often used nowadays to describe common media b.s. like this. You are right that “spin” is a better word.

Beyond the privacy issues in that Sharapova pic others are pointing out, that TMZ author is inaccurate about the tennis season winding down. There are still significant tours through late October!

While I can’t think of a cute pun name, I hope these people develop a cat counterpart for those who would prefer a feline friend.

Journalism on the Internet isn’t doing much better than print media in terms of profit. There have been lots of sites closing and layoffs of both news and media reporters for online sites, including this one.  Frankly, I am far from certain Deadspin will be around in a year or two.  There’s lots of info around but…

Meryl Streep’s busy acting schedule?  Actually, no cause is given in the film.

I actually have to side with Lauer here.  Who wants strangers stomping through your property?  It is the responsibility of the government to provide access to parks, not the people who own nearby land. 

I wish there had been a question on the complexity of breaking up when children are involved. My cousin just divorced because his wife said she didn’t love him anymore. They have two young kids and it has been sad and explosive within their family, almost all of whom support him (including her own parents) and…

There should be acknowledgment on this site of the feminist importance of Mothra, the first major female kaiju.  She is more than just a Giant Moth!  Mothra is here to disrupt the patriarchy represented by Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorrah.

I am not sure it helps this actress that they chose the character who is the traditionally sexiest and most scantily clad Legionnaire. There could be a backlash among fans - or not. Who knows nowadays?  Good luck to her!

Too expensive - it has lots of characters (hence the name), a variety of powers and looks, and a futuristic setting.

Also Colombia is not a particularly dangerous country anymore; the murder rate a couple of years ago was the lowest since 1974. The economy is also doing decently. Being a dual citizen of Colombia and the US and having ties to both nations could be great for that kid.

I agree that this lineup is not the most promising. Two of the series sound like they could get particularly lecture-heavy.

I wish there could be a code among gossip sites to stop covering obviously sick and out of control people like her.  Shame on her son for taking part in this farce.
