I would expect crime to pick up right away, most specifically violent crime. These people have all been subjected to MAJOR trauma. 

I suggest just listening to Mr. Blue Sky on repeat. If that song can’t make you happy, nothing can.

And Fred.

You just added money to the equation, and you could add a lot more qualities on top of that. The point is one should not be surprised when partners are not matched in looks. And I live in the world. I have for 53 (nearly 54) years. I have a pretty good idea of how it works.

This is a truly great film, but to get more into the spirit of Love Week—with the same two leads—I suggest Manon of the Spring, which is luscious, lovely, heartbreaking, and highly accessible. Bonus: Emmanuelle Béart is naked in it, which based on some of the comments below is a strong selling point.

Oh for crying out loud. Who is it you expect beautiful women to date? Do you think they go about matching their looks to potential partners like paint chips? If you are extraordinarily good looking, it’s going to be kind of limiting to only date other extraordinarily good looking people.

I encourage you to reconsider this choice through adult eyes. The pain of There Are Worse Things I Could Do is exponentially greater than the pain of Hopelessly Devoted. It speaks to the universal problem of there being no right way to be a woman. It’s the song you sing AFTER you have restyled yourself as, um, a woman…

I started watching this last night, and wow. It’s really terrific and fun. So much has been said already, so I’ll just add that Paul Bettany’s teeth are amazing. His smile is blinding. This is not something that usually catches my eye, but in this case it was hard to miss.

Is doing “Makeovers” by photoshopping someone’s head onto another body even a thing? Does that even count?

What the hell planet are these people living on? Even for a fashion magazine, do they truly not have something better to do with their time? Take a hint from Teen Vogue, GQ. Find some relevancy.

“Fun” is relative I suppose.

Surely people are not just noticing this. Grease has always been problematic. The biggest problem is that it has only one good song: There Are Worse Things I Could Do. I will fight you on this.

Just came her to say that Atlantis: The Lost Empire was a pretty decent little movie. Not a world-beater or anything, but highly watchable. Great cast.

As a dedicated science educator, this makes me weep.

And so it has come to pass that I somehow ended up with the same hairstyle as David Lynch. 

Just came here to say the Color Out of Space was good, and Cage was not the crazy part.

Finally caught up with the History of Swear Words. I’m an academic, so this hit a sweet spot for me. I could talk about the history of words all damn day. I was surprised, however, that Elton John’s song The Bitch Is Back and the Joan Collins movie The Bitch were not mentioned in the “bitch” episode. They seemed like…

“My heart goes out to everyone who lost people. Sorry that we used this premise for four years of making these jokes.” That’s really nice. I’m not being sarcastic. It’s a nice, self-reflective thing to say. He had every reason to believe that we would be able to find our ass with both hands if the real deal hit. Hell,…

Inflict upon us a pronunciation of “you” that somehow combines you, yah, and a cat yowl?
