The spurned suitor was Archie Baldwin - Ward McAllister is the society gatekeeper played by Nathan Lane.

His first hit “Through The Wire” was in part about the struggle to recover from his wired-shut jaw among other injuries.

It’s emblematic of the old saying about the difference in racism between the North and the South - “in the North, they don’t mind how big you get as long as you don’t get too close, in the South they don’t care how close you get as long as you don’t get too big.” Agnes is perfectly fine with Peggy succeeding…

To paraphrase TFG, Reeves is someone who’s being talked about more and more - he’s a supporting character in the Netflix movie The Harder They Come and was featured in an episode of the new Euro/Masterpiece-produced adaptation of Around the World in Eighty Days.

It’s more that Mrs. Chamberlain had a long term affair with her future husband as his first wife was dying - something that to this day is still sometimes seen as improper (look at the B. Smith controversy).

Didn’t have to dig - I’ve known for some time as I’m also a first-gen American from an immigrant family in Queens (born in Forest Hills to boot but I grew up in Springfield Gardens if we’re name-checking neighborhoods and then Brooklyn) who’s known of her for almost a decade now. I’m slightly older but I know friends…

Bullshit - there are MANY NYC accents. By that reasoning, Andrew Cuomo, Fran Drescher and LL Cool J would all sound the same: they’re all from Queens and within a ten-year age range.

The first movie hinged on Rosamund Pike being the dumbest DA alive so that everything could be explained to her very slowly by either Reacher or the villain.

Adding to the pathetic irony is that the voice asking “who?” is apparently West’s current girlfriend Julia Fox.

It’s a Samsung Galaxy watch 4, the phone referenced in the final paragraph.

I think it was more an attempt to keep everyone - the bewildered assassin, the startled young child and the confused husband - as calm as possible.

It’s a weird hedge to the reviewer to clearly say that the villain is shared with Maguire’s SM3 and yet not actually name him as Church.

I may be giving the writers too much credit but I think that was intentional - lots of people had the same criticism of the GOP congressman who posted his family posing with their weaponry for their Christmas card.

Forget Bond - I want Carey Mulligan as the younger version of Judi Dench’s M in a prequel series as the MI6 agent growing ever more cynical while discovering how shitty British imperialism really is as decolonization takes hold across the Commonwealth in the 1970s. Maybe she occasionally crosses paths with the…

I’m guessing Aniston/Blaire, Hahn/Jo, Union/Tootie and Tolman/Natalie which could kinda work in a 25th reunion scenario (although Aniston has about a dozen years on Tolman), but this is extremely weird even if they go with a post-college era script.

Not quite true as the best CYA move lawsuit-wise would have been to not do an interview at all - just a lawyer-written press release and then complete silence.

She did sketch comedy on The Edge with Julie Brown, Paul Feig and Wayne Knight and turned down a spot on SNL to do Friends.

Thanks for including that SNL clip - Aniston and Dratch singing “I’d decapitate a whore... for yooooooooooooou” has always been one of my favorite caps to a sketch.

How else do you get across the Pennines?
