My bones!  (Good catchphrase to repurpose for a horror movie though, eh?)

Boy howdy I would love to read a print version of this interview.

I was thinking that about Cristin Milioti without having seen the movie or read more than half the review. She’s so talented and charismatic—I think her presence plays a major role in why people were so mad at the ending of How I Met Your Mother.

My understanding is that the gene for baldness comes from the mother (I look at my bald maternal uncles and remember my bald maternal grandfather and I feel really bad for my son).

McConaughey’s dye job was really something.

This is a good opportunity to again promote one of my favorite TV shows, The Ghost Whisperer, heavily sentimental and tear-jerky (and jump-scary) and featuring Hewitt as a wholesome small-town antique-store owner married to a paramedic. Yet her daywear is lingerie, her lingerie is ubiquitous, it is a show about boobs…

She’s not trans, and if she has a personal connection to trans issues (beyond “friends,” which could mean anything), she hasn’t disclosed it. So by repeatedly and vehemently returning to the issue, she’s kind of breaking the unspoken pact we have with our celebrities that they (i) mostly stay in their lane, and (ii)…

On the basis of this review I suggested my family not watch the movie, but they did anyway and enjoyed it (the violence-averse member of the family skipped the intro). Tired old cliches seem fresh if you’re under 12. I sort of half-watched it which is probably the right approach.

I liked it. Probably would not watch more than once, but there were some great performances (less so PD, but he was authentic enough for the other actors to react to).

Oh God Road House was amazing. Shirtless Patrick Swayze taking breaks between Tai Chi sessions to knock some heads together. Everyone in town obsessed with Patrick Swayze (villainously or romantically), and rightly so.

Thanks for the tip! Given COVID shutdowns and whatnot I’ll probably just walk head-on into the locked glass doors a few times, gazing fixedly at the books just out of reach.

I truly enjoyed this scientific exchange of ideas.  I feel inspired to think more for myself about “how things work.”  

Regardless, it certainly seems to be happening ...

Thank you, mnemonics are always helpful, although the polar bear part is less so in this case. Of course, we as a species are rapidly taking care of that particular threat.

I have fallen asleep while my husband watched a few of them but I don’t count that because nothing I saw as my eyelids grew heavy made me want to wake up. (I like Bale, but I don’t like ultra-dark superhero movies. Keaton had a sardonic thing going on.)

Crossing my fingers hard for this. I haven’t watched any DCU movies except Wonder Woman in the past ~20 years, but I loved Keaton’s Batman back in the day and would pony up to see him again.

I used to read Star Trek novels so I feel you on this.

I really enjoyed this movie and Maude Apatow did a decent job, but she comes off as an ultra-poised, ultra-pretty girl who grew up rich in California. Judd A. should have shaken off his compulsive nepotism for this movie and cast someone who could conceivably share even a single gene with Pete Davidson.

They play siblings, fwiw.

Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
