Can we split the difference and say "capable"?

It's better to burn out than fade away?
I totally meant Columbia. Duh. I'm sure Frank never got his hands on either Riff Raff or Magenta, but Columbia is clearly down for anything, bless her. I'm thinking three-way with Frank and Eddie.
I was basically hate-watching by the final episode, but I wasn't expecting them to shit the bed so completely, starting with that ridiculous opening scene. "We're taking all your electronics and we know all about your cloud backups, too!" Three words: OFFSITE BACKUPS, BITCHES. I refuse to believe Coleman was too…
It's not just the drag: it's that, as played by Tim Curry, he's in total gender-fuck mode with a hairy chest and thoroughly masculine horndog behaviour while being unapologetically bisexual (having bedded Brad and Janet and I assume both Magenta and Eddie, among others, no doubt). He's surely the most transgressive…
Case in point: all those "Final Destination" movies.
The "Foodfight!" episode of The Flop House. It's just a terrific episode (about a movie so horrible I can't watch more than about six minutes of it), and it contains one of the funniest divagations I've ever experienced: one of the hosts randomly mentions the cartoon character Tintin, another pronounces it in the…
Possible spoiler alert: Martha Stewart has a brief, drug-themed cameo in "Bad Moms", and she's fuckin' hilarious. She always seems objectionable on her TV show but she can deliver a punch line.
You can make fun of his chunk but he was always the hottest one.
That trailer doesn't miss a single cliché and I am for sure twenty years past the expiry date for this sort of thing, but damned if I'm not going to watch it anyway.
"Wise Up" from Magnolia.
I know he has an image to project but surely he makes enough money to go to a tailor and get those fucking jeans hemmed a couple of inches.
I tried to watch it after listening to The Flop House episode, and I lasted maybe six minutes. There isn't enough liquor in the world.
This isn't exactly answering your question, but season 3 has an astoundingly gifted queen named Raja whose drag looks are basically the entire history of clothing: someone who has a philosophy of drag and of fashion and has no patience for some queen who just wants to put on a pretty gown. It was a really exciting…
Sometimes she over-enunciates them, but most of the time she just smushes doubled Ts into Ds. The preface to the show often has her saying "secret and/or forgodden history"; then I guess someone has a chat with her or she reads a comment because she'll correct it to a very forced "forgoTTen" for an episode or two, a…
Yeah, it was pretty obvious from the first two seasons that RuPaul was only interested in glamour queens. I was definitely on Team Pandora for that season (and Team Katya for season 7, because I love a funny lady).
I dunno. Cleopatra VII was 18 when she took the throne, so I'd rather see her played by someone who's either younger than Jolie or can look younger, and she was Macedonian Greek, so perhaps someone who's darker in colouring. I'm thinking Jurnee Smollett, Mila Kunis or Zoe Saldana, and I know there are others not on my…
Giles Coren is very annoying: lucky for him he's fairly nice to look at. But Sue Perkins is a joy, and the whole Supersizers series is terrific.
It's next on my non-fiction list. I loved her "Cleopatra" and don't know nearly enough about the Salem witch trials.
We just got back from the matinée of "Bad Moms" and let's get this out of the way right now: it's not a great movie, with a very very slow start, some dead spots, some jokes that don't land, and and big happy wish-fulfillment ending that could have been toned down a little, or a lot. But damned if we didn't have a…
