I’m sure the actress is fine but that name has got to go. That goes double if Tyra is meant for an elf but it doesn’t sound like any of the names in Tolkien’s stories. Don’t go down the path of Star Wars which stopped giving a damn about names and let characters be named mundane things like “Paige.”

If Styles is cast, I guess they should add a Prince Eric song or two to the soundtrack.  There really isn’t much of Eric’s perspective in the original, so that’s something the new film could work on. 

Actually, Buzzfeed’s description of her as an e-girl does describe some of what kind of person she was as, in the words of the article, “a young woman who uses social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Tumblr to post about anime, video games, and emo-adjacent fashion.”  Her 6,000 online followers used that term to…

Certainly not the fault of any writer here, but I shake my head at the waste of money whenever it is mentioned that your current office is in Times Square. If your employers ever complain about losing money (and I’m sure they will), you may want to mention that they were the ones who placed your HQ to be in the middle…

It is hard for fans to embrace someone who has great talent but just doesn’t win major tournaments, especially when he routinely loses to lower-ranked players. It would be great for the sport if he did become a consistent top-five player with his flair for drama and passionate play against the top guys.  

Actually, I’ve long wondered why more people who are publicly shamed don’t kill themselves.  Frankly, I wonder if the media attention was the tipping point for his decision.  Does someone’s humiliation need to be national news?

There certainly have been cases, some quite sad, of teen tennis phenoms with short careers from physical problems. But there are other tennis players who start as teens who enjoy long careers, like Venus and her sister.

Eh, you can put peanut butter and/or raisins on a pretzel stick or on a carrot.  Celery ain’t that great; the juice people can have it.

Liberty University must have have a high class of pledges if the management process is similar, because CFA has far and away the best service of fast-food restaurants. The way the ones in my area handle their huge drive-thru crowds is a master class in efficiency and time management.

She did write a memoir in 2000.  She likely retired due to age (she was in her 70s when she stopped) and health issues but I rather hope she has a few unpublished manuscripts that a talented writer could finish.

Apparently she gained some skill with dog training on John Wick 3 where she had some really remarkable dog co-stars. Perhaps she can get some good watch dogs to patrol her house.

I agree, though bringing this up in the case of Trump kind of weakens this argument because women did report and it seemed to make little difference. I doubt Ms. Carroll adding her voice would have been decisive.

There have been a number of recent versions with different origins for Sonja with no vow of chastity or powers based on not sleeping with men who can’t defeat her in battle. The bikini armor has usually stuck around, however. Honestly, most women fans (and Red Sonja has a fair number of them) don’t have a problem with…

I wish them luck but Soloway has no experience in action or fantasy so it is hard to get too excited.  But this isn’t exactly the top A-list comic book property so why not experiment a little?

The whole cast is so good. There really isn’t a weak link there, even in the guest roles.

Not sure why you put down the bacon add-on method for improving green beans.  That’s what my family has always used, alone with fresh green beans and avoiding oversteaming them and it works just fine.  

I feel like there is a bit of hypocrisy in Westerners criticizing Nigerian women for not having C-sections given that there is plenty of criticism of this procedure among Western women in favor of midwives and vaginal delivery. This site itself has had some contradictory things to say about them: https://jezebel.com/if…

Riders with lots of small details are sometimes tests of the arena staff of how well they deal with directions in general.  If they are sloppy with the rider, perhaps they could mess up tech details.

The homes torn down were not occupied and were severely damaged: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/21/pete-buttigieg-democratic-presidential-hopeful-south-bend-indiana-turnaround-city/3165477002/. These vacant homes were a major concern for many in the city.  There were some owned by minorities who…

I really do think that many anti-vaxxers are going off of what they think if evidence in that they know people whose kids supposedly or really had adverse reactions to vaccines. That’s what seems to have motivated Biel.
