If anyone’s looking for show recommendations, may I suggest old timey radio shows from the golden era? There’s a radio station that I listen to that airs such shows. My favs are the private detective and sci-fi ones (Richard Diamond and X-Minus One, respectively).

Thanks for the information, that’s a big load off my mind. I don’t have big expectations for my book, but at least I know what to do now.

Canadian tax question here:

Yep, I mentioned him too. I can’t believe ppl are making light of this. I’m sure the cops who dealt with the (Williams) thefts thought it was funny too.

I envy the plethora of YouTube MUAs and makeup bloggers available to today’s young women. When I was a kid (back in the Pleistocene era) I learned about makeup by watching this Canadian show called The New You, hosted by this intimidating woman, Bettie Bradley. I don’t know why but her hat and her too-light foundation…

I guess either pronunciation is acceptable, but “mingus” is the more traditional version.

This reminds me of the Russell Williams case from a few years ago. He was a Canadian military pilot who broke into women’s homes and stole their underwear, eventually raping and killing 2. He was by all accounts, an exemplary citizen and would’ve gotten away with his crimes but for his unique tire treads which was…

Menzies is a Scottish surname and it’s pronounced sort of like “ming-gus”, as in Charles Mingus, the jazz musician.

So has anyone else been incorrectly pronouncing Tobias Menzies name as “men-zees” ?

Has anyone else been pronouncing Tobias Menzies’ name wrong? I always thought it was “men-zees” but apparently it’s more like “ming-gus” as in Charles Mingus.

Mass killers aren’t a modern invention. Here are some killers from the 1950s and back:

If you’re a Simpsons fan, you should really watch Citizen Kane (they reference that movie a lot). Even if you’re not a Simpson’s fan, you should watch it anyway, it was a great movie.

Yeah, I heard #3 was to be avoided b/c of Sofia Coppola’s “acting.”

I’ll try that. Thanks for the advice.

Hey thanks!

Hey thanks!

Question about the new PC Optimum card:

Hey I only just saw The Godfather last year, too! I’ve been hearing Godfather quotes all my life and I figured it was about damn time I saw the movie so I could finally get the references. My unpopular opinion: it was just OK. One of my biggest gripes is that even though it was supposed to be set in the 1940s, the…

First of all, painters are people with the same prejudices and biases as anyone else. Just b/c a painter doesn’t include POC in their paintings doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. Imagine if we relied on Donald Trump to write the official history of America — do you think he’d include much on women, minorities and gays?…

The thing I hate about these historical dramas is the complete erasure of POC, particularly black people. Contrary to some white supremacists’ beliefs, Europe was not a white utopia.
