I was thinking L’il as in L’il Abner but I think you’re on to something and it’s some stable genius best brain combination of widdle and L’il.

I think you just invented a new game: Dictionary or Idiot?

I’m not a fan of anything too ornate but give me real wood with dovetails. Especially Shaker or Arts and Craft. I got two small cherry dressers from maybe 1950s at an estate sale a few months ago for $50 (for both of them). They have simple lines and so much more solidly built than something you’d spend 4x as much on…

Whatever the intro line is, I’m betting his “secret” command center will again be the old police academy building on East 20th street.

Watching the film I couldn’t help but think of their similar personality traits. They both act like petulant toddlers when they don’t get their own way and thrive on flattery.

trump’s monarchical aspirations seem to align with Queen Anne in terms of personality, intelligence and impulse control. I believe she too was a stable genius of excellent health.

I think trump is more Joffrey Lannister with all his temper tantrums.

All it takes is a dollar somewhere between $2 and $20 depending on the cash in my wallet and a a dream. Today it was $12.

and now I must post this (again).

I’d take it in a heartbeat. I’m willing to give up some of the money I’m saving towards retirement for more days of now.

You are correct. I’m not a “normal” film goer. The last movie I watched in a theater was a french comedy Shinny Shrimp (a week or two ago). Last night I watched a scifi film out of SXSW on Hulu called Prospect (I recommend it). So I absolutely would not have equated either Toby Maguire or Kirsten Dunst with Spiderman…

No, no they don’t. 

Robots can’t win no matter how funny they are. 

and Bring it On had a bunch of sequels including one a few years ago. Which churns up interest in the original. I suspect people are just as likely to have seen that as a decade old Spiderman series. 

It was about Toby Maguire being in Pleasantville, not Kirsten Dunst. Best known for playing Mary Jane Watson's boyfriend.

It’s a small step in the right direction about two decades too late. We’re fucked as a species. It’s just a matter of how fucked and how soon.

Mrs. Mullins would have to disagree with you.

Yet sometimes the duds just stick in your memory. Like New Coke. 

I actually had to look it up because I couldn’t remember the name but it’s seriously fuckin’ funny. 

If it’s only about box office then someone like Samuel L Jackson would be best known for his Marvel appearances rather than Pulp Fiction or the iconic Snakes on a Plane. Or Tom Hanks for the Toy Story movies rather than the annoying Forest Gump or Castaway. Or Robin Wright for Wonder Woman or Forest Gump and not the…
