Eric looks like someone’s been putting small pieces of radioactive metal in his food. 

not that I give a rat’s ass but Eric sure is looking pasty & unhealthy.  As for the patriot & warrior Derp Jr ... I kinda wonder why he never thought to sign up & serve, unless bones spurs run in the family.

Jesus Christ, every time Melania is asked a question the response is just some version of “Peace on the world”. It’s not a fucking New Year’s resolution!

Exactly and also note he was gently grabbed by other people (who let go right after) and all he did was smile and greet them. Aggression is never acceptable. I wouldn’t react well to being grabbed in any way.

Related: Yesterday I spent New Year’s Day watching “The Two Popes”. I want to inform all that it’s being marketed as something VERY different from what it is (what it really is is better).

I wouldn’t call Durst a “real estate tycoon.” He’s the son of one. Durst has been, um, himself his whole life. 

I’ve never really understood why Jesus was a thing, this explains it and might convince me to watch at least the first episode.

Look, I’ve seen it twice now, and will happy go for a third time next week (if it’s still playing). Tom Hooper and I are probably the only two people in the world who love this movie, and I have to be kindly honest and say it’s a mess. The weird faces (give them black tipped cat noses!), the completely human hands…

I almost never blame actors for acting in a bad movie for the money. They’re just there to do their work in their part - if they do a professional job acting, then the failure of the movie is on the director and producer (which it usually is). 

Elizabeth Taylor on “Cleopatra” (which she adamantly didn’t want to do): “If they’re stupid enough to pay me a million dollars and 10% of the gross, I’m smart enough to take it!”

Drucie McDaniel, who played M-G in the movie (the woman who shouts obscenities) ended up being one of my acting teachers. It was a great class.

I always loved Michael Caine discussing Jaws 4: The Revenge.

Small correction: Jolie wasn’t just Oscar nominated for her performance; she won.

Years ago, Bette Midler told her Vegas residency audience, “I said they couldn’t pay me enough to commit to this. (pregnant pause) Oh. Yes. They. Can!” [she got $22million a year for 3 years. That’s “Oh.Yes.They.Can” money!]

that’s why I had friends registering as Republican for primaries to vote for Trump, in the hope that if they voted up the most ludicrousoption it would take the oomph out of the backlash.

What the shit?! That was a terrible plan!

Virginia went for Hillary in the general, so it’s not really one of the states in question (as in, a state that went for Trump but would have gone for Bernie had he been the DEM candidate)

Yes. The sanders campaign begin the “Bernie would’ve won” narrative months before the general election even took place. 

That’s because his supporters are dishonest assholes. 

What’s especially infuriating is that many of Bernie’s supporters said they would vote for a woman “like Liz Warren” in order to defend themselves against accusations of sexism last election. Now that she’s running against Bernie, she’s suddenly a centrist sellout. 

The biggest problem with the “Bernie would have won” lament is not that it’s based almost entirely on magical thinking (although it is). The problem is that it was a narrative the Sanders campaign decided to amplify the moment he lost California and, therefore, any rational or reasonable argument for remaining in the…
