I read and liked his book about Ailes, and I’m intrigued by the idea of him doing a Trump biopic, but how the hell is that going to work? Revelations about Trump’s past continue to come out on an almost weekly basis (e.g., last week it was how he conned his way onto the Forbes list).

Obviously you know your own life, but as for the “doubts” and washing out late” it could have been because of your age. I did my project in the summer of my 15th year and had everything in place to have the ceremony just a few weeks into my 16th year. My parents and scout leaders pushed me because they knew that 16…

And there is #239 of confounding things about Donald Trump’s administration: why people work for him and profess loyalty to him even while he treats them like shit, publicly... to say nothing about how Trump will go out of his way to publicly humiliate his people if things don’t go Trump’s way (see: Steve Bannon, or…

Yes it’s tempting to see this guy as some champion of the people who fought back against the system in an especially metal fashion, but that’s not what people like him are. They’re (mostly) men who believe they should have a lot more money and/or power than they do, and the fact that they don’t is the fault of an…

Hmmmm...

Could someone explain the final scene to me (or a link perhaps)? I only saw this once in the theater (and liked it), but it has always plagued me that I don’t know what the hell everyone was talking about with the it’s-there-if-you-look-for-it explanation.

“White Noise” is pretty much as close as DeLillo ever gets to a fun book.

I don’t think this undermines the schadenfreude all that much. Although there’s variation in prisons, you still lose your freedom, and although this prison may be on one end of the spectrum re: daily lives of the inmates, keep in mind that this guy was a millionaire, and was living the corresponding lifestyle.

Oh.

Actually, that fact has a weird joke/not-joke history to it. The Onion wrote this in mid-’99: https://entertainment.theonion.com/i-dont-even-remember-writing-the-tommyknockers-1819583598

Why didn’t the guy just ask them for a job? Or beg for money? Would’ve been more dignified.

Despite the caricature, I thought she was portrayed flatteringly in “Two Bad Neighbors.” She’s eminently reasonable, diplomatic, and even shows a hidden authority... I always found it kind of touching how she patiently explains to Bart that “older people don’t eat much candy.”

Does the lingerie come with overly obvious pop music?

I’m starting to recoil from heavy words so lightly thrown.

As long as he cleans up the mess and pays for what he breaks I have no problem with it.

Yeah that’s cool and all [he says with rehearsed detachment], but I think the thing I most remember about her was the jaw-dropping character/actress age disparity. She turned 30 just a few months after the show premiered, which I believe would have had her playing a character literally half her age.

I gotta object to Pesci. From what I’ve read these fucks seem to think they’re characters in a mob movie to begin with. Having an actual star of “Goodfellas” play him would be too validating.

I, TONYA

Man I remember listening to him when my college existence became increasingly nocturnal. I’d be lying if I said my and my friends’ laughter was laughing WITH him, but at the same time I suppose he deserves props. He may not have been the first person to do the style he did, but he was the most noteworthy (at least for…

With “Cuckoo” he did create one of the greatest novel-to-movie adaptations of all time, a total peer to “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
