I don't really know who Nick Gruber is, nor do I really care, because when I see his name I read it as McGruber, the SNL character, and it's just so much more fun.

excellent reference!

Actually I just assumed McConaughey paid them to be in this movie. The man loves his shirtless fun.

Me too!! to all of it.

me too! their good-bye was so...ominous. i thought maybe she was dead/about to die.

Yeah, when he made that comment about, "why do the women always get to decide what happens?" I thought, "well they don't always because sometimes you just rape them." he seems to have forgotten all about that...or maybe he remembers that the only way he can get laid is by force or for money.

[raises hand]

Yeah, I don't think anyone, least of all the women of France, want to see him go buck wild if what he's done so far is considered restrained in some way.

Given the reputation of the French, I'm sort of surprised one existed at all...or that it was enforced enough for someone to think it was necessary to repeal it. I'm not surprised that they decided to create a span of time where harassers get a free pass rather than, say, creating a new law or amending the old one…

I've also never watched the show...I am not surprised that there's never been a black "lead" but have there been contestants that weren't white on either the Bachelor or Bachelorette?

I think the allure of money and fame and that dream of their kids being "discovered" has some effect on parents' thinking. just look at all the parents who sent their kids to Michael Jackson's house. It's something parents don't want to see and kids don't want to admit about the people that changed their families'…

phoebe was a masseuse who eventually wised up and realized the benefit of having health insurance and retirement savings and ended up working for a spa chain to get them. even when she wasn't working at a massage parlor (the legit kind) she was freelancing.

well, they were only AT their jobs when it suited the plot. they always had them and when they didn't it was a part of the story that they needed to get a job. little different than people who don't have even unseen jobs or want to be bothered with looking for one.

1) prediction: pete will use the shotgun on roger who is a symbol of everything pete doesn't want to become. if it wasn't a shot gun, i would think suicide more likely, but i think he would feel like a man by killing someone else and would be too chicken shit to kill himself.

hmm...did they maybe not get that the scene in "Saved" with the attempted drive-by exorcism was satire and not, ya know, a good idea?

c'mon...you know that baby bjorn is just a decoy. the magical Blue Ivy just levitates in front of whatever parent is "carrying" her. she'd float right out of one of those sling things so this just makes the most sense to hider her powers until she's ready to carry-out her plan for total world domination.

RE: Isobel Toledo...i get the idea, take risks when you're young, do what you love, blah blah blah. that does work out for some people. however, i've seen more than a few people who weren't really self aware enough to realize they are not so great at what they love and they spent years wasting their time trying to…

also an episode of NCIS (McGee's book) and Bones (Brennan's book). yes, i watch too much tv, but this really isn't a new idea. this version just has period costumes.

I don't buy into the whole cancer business, personally (plus anything and everything "can" give you cancer, it seems). the reason i don't refuse is if someone wants to ogle me, they're gonna do it whether i'm wearing clothes or not. i don't wear mumus, so it's not all that hard for someone to guess what the shape of…

I'm thinking you missed the mark with the headline here. She's not suing because she peed her pants. She's suing for mental and physical abuse. the headline trivializes what she experienced. And I'm one of these people that never understood the allure of the greek system and refused to attend initiation for my…
