As Miss Manners once said “During dating, as you grow to know each other more, the amount of entertainment can be lessened and the amount of affection increased. When the affection is the entertainment, that is no longer dating.”

But you can’t throw a bottle at CGI! What’s the point of a concert if you can’t cause bodily harm to the performers?

There are plenty of younger Boomers (“Generation Jones” as they are sometimes called) and older GenXers who are still alive and who were KISS fans back in the day. Whether or not they still are fans or have moved on is another story.

I’m sure it hurt it, but he had enough clout and name recognition to star in 1976's Murder by Death. Not a great movie, and some of the humor hasn’t aged well, but you can see its influence on things like the Clue movie and Knives Out.

Yeah, that was kind my issue with Michael Moore as well.

I totally forgot that classic Simpsons did a parody of those as well!

And the ones showing gruesome car crashes as a result of alcohol or inattentiveness. Which are also about bodies undergoing changes, I suppose.

Honestly, I wonder if people actually like his movies or is it that because he is supporting the “right messages” in them that people don’t want to criticize them for fear that people will think they like Dick Cheney or something if they admit that McKay’s “Vice” was crap.

It’ll make your boss think you are some sort of guru when you do it in Excel!

And you know, pretty much all of China, which attribute China’s current economic success to Kissinger’s and Nixon’s opening of China’s relations to the West (Nixon also has a better reputation there than in the US). But that was kind of the one time Kissinger actually helped rather than hurt things.

I’m old school — his travesty of Wild Wild West (1999) put me off him as I was a fan of the 1960s show which I used to watch reruns of it after school in the 1980s.

I was going to suggest Liman’s spouse, but according to Wikipedia he appears to be single.

He had practice after his auto dealership scam during his hired kidnapping of his wife in Fargo.

In computer science and engineering CMU is extremely well known — maybe the second best school for those after MIT.

What if he doesn’t do it -- like the woman who thought she was hiring a Mob hitman but was really talking to an FBI agent?

If she was in one she might find (as Krusty once said) that it would indeed move her. To a bigger house!

So what if it will cause fans pain? :Pain don’t hurt” to quote a great philosopher/cooler.

(Justified by the dismal state of search engines back at the end of the 20th century, making looking up basic biographical details a lot harder than it would be now.)

So if Gyllenhaal is playing Swayze’s character, I assume Liman is playing Kelly Lynch’s role?

It helps that she’s generally played by actresses far prettier and more charismatic than Elizabeth was. I mean I’m not a big fan of royalty, but if Olivia Colman was actually Queen, I might reconsider.
