I’ll watch Ocean’s 8 on Netflix eventually. As a senior citizen, I’d like to point out that actually the original Ocean’s 11 film, starring Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean, came out in 1960.

Neil sounds like a bitch, yeah. However, I must agree, the word “like” is way overused. The most egregious overuse is when someone describes something that happened in the past, then dips into the present tense to say, “And I’m like ...” and then returns to the past tense where the statement should have remained all…

The show was made at WQED-TV in Pittsburgh. Fun fact: the actor Michael Keaton (“Batman,” “The Founder,” & others) worked as a production assistant on the show for several years. His real name was Michael Douglas, but he changed it for professional reasons because of Actors Equity rules. I know all this because my…

I still play Sims 2 now & then. I have Sims of myself, my real-life husband & daughter, & some celebrities. I don’t think of myself as a cruel person at all but within the Sims, if you don’t want a character in your game any more, you can’t just delete the person without screwing up the game to the point where it…

I guess I owe Mary Karr about 20 cents. On my daughter’s recommendation I purchased a copy of Infinite Jest but I could not slog through all that pretentious garbage, so after reading less than 100 pages I abandoned it in the laundry room of my apartment building. The book, where it addressed subject matter at all,…

Sigh ... I’m in a similar situation to D.J. Khaled’s wife. My husband expects it once or twice a day & I usually give it, although I’ve told him I dislike it & he doesn’t often reciprocate. Why do I accommodate his wishes, you might ask? Because he’s diabetic with nerve damage, is on his second pacemaker, & probably…

Yes, Rent the Runway is fantastic! My daughter rented two dresses from there to wear at her wedding. She loved both of them on the website & couldn’t decide between them until she tried them both on. The dress she chose was a plain sheath covered in gold sequins. I realize I might be describing the outfit to sound…

Why?

I like James Corden well enough although he’s not Craig. But the main problem I have with the show is Reggie the “musical director”. James gave him entirely too much power. He’s rude & disrespectful.

I don’t see what he’d get out of watching anyone urinate on a bed the Obamas possibly slept in years before. I’m convinced he paid the prostitute(s) to pee on him, or at least on each other. That’s golden showers.

The way I read it, the executive order gave 90 days for the agencies to come up with a new plan. Which will undoubtedly be much worse than the way things are now. IIRC, food stamps have already been cut.

It might not be so bad if Drumpf hadn’t fucked up the economy so badly that many of these allegedly lazy poor people can’t find a job. Where the hell are they supposed to work? Retail is suffering, shopping malls are empty, it’s all telecommuting & temps & bots & contractors now. Every job wants the applicant to have…

My story isn’t really about unequal pay for women, sorry. It’s actually about a job creator that decided to fuck all his employees, both men & women, over & steal our pay, but he didn’t tell us anything. He just let everyone keep working.

I know, I dated a man who lived in a brand-new townhouse off Quince Orchard Road. He said it was North Potomac but I say it was Gaithersburg. He bought the place around 1990 for something in the high $100s. He died in 2003 & the house was sold for between $90,000 & $100,000. Even though it had FIVE bathrooms!!

Props to Erinn Hayes! I saw her on <I>A.P. Bio</I> the other week. She played a MILF. <I>A.P. Bio</I>is hilarious & I hope she’ll be a recurring character, although I know she has other work too.

I didn’t think the Keri Russell/Matthew Rhys interview was so wonderful & of course I despised the Sean Penn interview. But Colbert is going to have the great Samantha Bee on the show tonight!!!

If you have the allergy, you should definitely not use bee venom. Or anything containing Royal Jelly which is what the queen makes.

My mother sent a spit sample or something to National Geographic & it came back positive for BOTH Neanderthal & Denisovan. Her ancestry is mainly English, French, & German, at least that’s what we’ve always thought until now.

I’m not commenting about any of the specific movies you mentioned, but like you I really hate watching a movie on TV or God forbid an old VHS tape, when we have the DVD sitting right there in the player! Is there a word for people who like to do this?

My BFF & I have known each other since I was 10 & she was 12. Since I’m 66 now, that is 56 years ... not even my mother, who is 95, can say she’s been friends with anyone that long! I have another friend who goes back about 43 years, another 30 years, another 21 or 22 years, don’t recall exactly. The funny thing is, I…
