I wish they could find the woman who solicited her, too.  Purveyors facilitate predation.

I was kind of disappointed in Hereditary (I could see the ending coming a mile away), even though I loved the concept of Toni Collette as a miniaturist (and her performance was great, as was Anne Dowd’s).

Yes:) I I LOVE Thelma Ritter, esp. in Pickup On South Street.

I’m trying to figure out what his expression is that is so captivating.

Depends on the state. When I started college in the mid-80s, my profs smoked in their offices and at the podium, as they lectured.

I do not want any Bayhem in the primary.

I am common. I like him best as Mr. Belvedere:)

HI, jerry,

This poor woman. Jones exercised some poor judgment in pulling some woman’s hair but, holy crap, she got shot and lost her baby. Let me type that again: she lost her baby.

I dunno . . . given that the percentage of men who rape is not huge (estimates range from 10-15% of the US population of men) but that this 15% tends to start early, circulates, and tends to commit multiple crimes (the figure I’ve always heard is that the “average” [ugggh] rapist will commit 7-10 rapes, minimum), I…

I love my Honda Fit. It’s surprisingly roomy (lots of head & leg room, seats five comfortably, rear hatch holds a fair amount of stuff).

isn’t the under-20 group referred to as “Gen Z”? My 18-21 year-old students call themselves Z-ers—I assumed they know their own moniker.

I had been wondering what type of person would vote for Marianne Williamson for President. Now I know.

I don’t think I’ll see the film after reading so many lukewarm reviews.

god, I loved that book (the made-for-TV miniseries was not so good).  I wonder that it isn’t remade into a new horror miniseries.

I can top that license at 15 . . . you could get a farm permit in South Dakota at 12 (only driving on county roads), and a restricted license at 14 (dawn to dusk, only, unless one had a compelling reason, like a job that required one to be someplace after dark). Full license at 14 and 3/4 years.

thanks! It’s not niggling or hair-splitting.

thanks for fixing it. I really like Heller and want her to get as many kudos as possible:)

Hey, an important FYI for you. The director is Marielle Heller (who also directed Diary of a Teenage Girl). Holofcener was the writer.

wow. I had no idea there was a Herriot museum.
