Aw, that’s good to hear. I was a HUGE Duran Duran fan but never got to see them in concert. I did, however, get to see The Power Station. The show was in Cincinnati, which was a couple of hours away, so my parents drove me down and we stayed overnight. After the concert my parents and I went to the hotel, stepped into…

Ha! When I got to the 4’11” part I thought “That doesn’t sound right...” and realized I was thinking of Keith David. Not the same guy by a long shot! I had to look up Keith Morrison - the Crypt Keeper! He is so creepy. I’m still surprised that he’s that short - he’s so skinny and gaunt I thought he must be like 6’5”.

Let's just say I graduated high school in the late 80s, and all the references got real old, real quick. I didn't hate the book - it had its moments - but overall it felt like a juvenile, Mary Sue fan-fiction wish fulfillment wank. I do think there's potential there for a good movie though, especially with Spielberg…

Forget fingers and hair - I can't believe Mattel didn't see the potential for kids, especially evil older brothers, putting anything and everything into that mouth, including real food. I wonder how many Snacking CPKs were ruined that way.

I'm still bitter about that one. I'd already sent in my proofs-of-purchase when it was announced that they were no longer producing the one with the working rocket launcher. I still got my figure, but, you know. IT WASN'T AS COOL.

My sisters had that flower-making kit! They were quite pretty. We had a ton of those plastic flowers lying around the house when I was a lil'un.

I watch BB and I haaaaate Frankie. Any normal brother would get out of the house, hear all the stories, and give her a "Girl, whatchu been doin'?!?" come to Jesus talk. Since he's Frankie, there's no doubt in my mind that he will see no problem with her behavior. The mother must be a piece of work to raise two such…

I think that's the only reason it *hasn't* happened. Scooter knows they're both such assholes that as a couple they would generate a tsunami of negative publicity that would be impossible to overcome.

No kidding. Even back then, I was disappointed. "Please, Almanzo Wilder did not have that hair."

Paul Schrader is so desperate to be considered relevant again that he's not willing to burn any bridges. Also, there's already been a remake of Gloria...starring Sharon Stone. I don't think casting Lilo in the role would be any worse - at least with her there would be guaranteed unintentional hilarity, and it's not…

Not a chance, now that it's been announced. I would not, however, rule out a tragic "miscarriage."

I LOVE BARRY.

I think you're right. Easier to establish a meet-cute on a battlefield with a girl from the Free Cities and have her tag along than have Robb injured, take him out of the war, and explain Jeyne's background. It's what they've done with a lot of the plot - the main thing is that Robb breaks his promise to the Freys,…

Ahem. One word: LACE.

A couple of years ago Mattel planned a line of collector dolls with a Palm Beach theme. There was supposed to be a Ken doll; he was all tricked out in tacky resort wear, and he came with a little white lapdog named Sugar. The name of the doll was Sugar's Daddy, but when photos of him were first sneaked, he was…

At least in the U.K. getting blasted in black tie on prom night is legal and won't get you kicked out of school.

My impression is that practically everyone in the cast talks in interviews about how incredibly nice Jack Gleeson is in real life. It's a good thing he's a philosophy scholar who has no interest in acting after GOT; knowing everyone on the internet takes great pleasure in seeing you get slapped over and over again…

"What does your husband think about that?" That is unreal. What answer do they expect? "It's fine, he knocked up one of his co-workers when he found out I didn't want kids." "Well, he's in the process of divorcing me." I mean, WTF?

Are you using Firefox? I had that problem too. Try using Explorer or another browser. Also, I'd log out of whatever app you're going to use before trying to log in here and convert. Once I had converted my account on Explorer I had no problem using the new login in Firefox.

Good point. If the true concern is cost, then the focus should be on the fact that covering birth control costs a lot less than a real, live baby, and that using contraception means fewer unintended pregnancies, meaning fewer abortions. The problem is that these people don't want to hear that because they live in…
