I’m 6' tall with long everything -- nice for legs, bad for everything else (arms, TORSO, etc.) -- but somewhat wide-shouldered from my weight lifting days, and finding clothing is my hell.

I wish I still had my set of tapes that had episodes bunched together, I think kind of... thematically? My memories of it are fuzzy, but I remember marathoning that shit for every sick day stuck on the couch at home from school, every bored afternoon when I wasn’t running around outside, and I never, ever got tired of…

“Consummate professional” is right. I don’t think I have ever heard one gripe from anyone working with him — people love working with him! (That’s why there are plenty of repeat co-stars across his 40+ year resume.) He’s also, it seems, having the most fun of everyone the entire time, which is infectious for the…

Update: LOVED IT.

You don’t have to navigate this world as a woman, and I’m not particularly interested in your ridiculously long essay about how everything has nuance. (Of course it does. I’m an adult, I don’t need to be talked down to about a concept that simple, so again, thanks but no thanks.)

It was hard, ngl. Being 6 feet tall myself, I’m already kind of charmed by anyone taller than me (there are so few of them!!), and then you add in the Goldblum factor, which is incredibly disarming, and... well!

Fair point. I’d love to know what your theories are on why men treat women as objects, then, so commonly (and so violently), in ways that women almost never do toward men. Back them up with some other scientific study, if you like, since this apparently isn’t enough for you.

It is so great! (I remember being mildly offended about stupid 50 Shades of Grey taking the name “Mr. Grey” in the context of a supposed BDSM relationship and tarnishing it, lol. James Spader or no one!)

As a fan of the franchise, and particularly after seeing how well it’s playing in the advance reviews, I bit the bullet and shelled out to see this in IMAX tonight.

I can’t believe I’m responding to such an obvious troll, based on some of your other comments, let alone the sheer idiocy of this one in particular, but okay, why not.

the project is based on Sam Wasson’s doorstopper biography Fosse

I think the only reason Secretary works (and I love that damn movie so much) is because there really is a power dynamic change — it goes from a totally unhealthy power trip on the part of Spader’s character that he doesn’t know how to manage in a good way, to this great discovery on the part of Gyllenhaal’s character,…

It can be — and often is — both.

Thank you for posting this, it’s been years since I’ve seen it! God, were they great.

I scrolled back up to make sure that was actually included in this list, and then I just had to laugh.

Yeah, he pretty much always sounds like that.

He hangs around in the book/record shop I work in pretty often, and I swear to you, the first time I realized he was in there, I had to do a double-take, because, well... I texted my friend/coworker, “This guy who just walked in is either a hobo, or it’s Caleb Landry-Jones.” And then it was him.

A friend of a friend was actually barricaded in that Gelsons yesterday while all of this was going on; apparently she just chose a really unlucky time to run an errand. It was crazy.

1. Friend of friend is fine, was just stuck locked in a supermarket waiting for things to settle down after a couple hours. Fortunately I don’t think the situation escalated too much after that point. I know at least one person was killed (not sure who or when), but it could’ve been much worse once it became a full-on…

So Hollywood is nuts right now! Tarantino’s latest is shooting in practically my backyard right now — they’ll be shutting down a chunk of Hollywood Blvd. on Monday and Tuesday — and it’s pretty cool to see the production sparing no detail in getting certain storefronts done up to look like it’s 1969 again. The…
