The difference between Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and this movie is the casting. Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson are supposed to just gain laughs by comparison of their looks, whereas Steve Martin and Michael Caine are both very funny actors.

In a similar vein to this (at least it sounds like it), as well as Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver and Uprooted, there’s also the “Grisha-verse” by Leigh Bardugo.

There’s a little more information here - the parents are alleging there was video of him drinking that was “destroyed.” Also, he did appear to be consistently drunk - there were several incidents.

The Smithsonian Folklife Festival is down to two days and it’s the weekend before.  So that’s not something that can be used to inflate numbers either. *snort*

The really funny thing about this is he’s so worried about the optics of speaking from the Lincoln Memorial, that he hasn’t thought through shunting the fireworks off to West Potomac Park.

I didn’t realize Evan Rachel Wood had been on True Blood, so it took Paul Reubens in full Amilyn makeup for me to get that. But then I realized Tilda had her hair from Only Lovers Left Alive and I started laughing my ass off.

I loved that during the dance, Deacon did his “sexy dance” in the middle of it.

I literally shrieked with glee with each successive reveal.  I love this show so much.

Trump didn’t just claim to be a businessman; he branded himself as a self-made billionaire, basically charting the path for Kylie Jenner, in which both forgot that they come from money and acted as if they were truly in a Dickensian reality show about hard work and bootstraps.

One of my favorite poultry spices is Penzey’s Singapore Seasoning. It’s basically got a little bit of everything, and when used not-so-sparingly, it does wonderful things to chicken and turkey.

Is it wrong I’m just laughing reading this?

My now ex-BIL works for a car manufacturer. He had so many slots each year where he could give a friend or family member access to the same type of purchase perq he had - namely, you walked into a dealership, found a car you liked, told the dealership, told them your code, and then you got the car at THEIR price,…

Then it comes down to what Mueller finds enjoyable. ;)

Yes, but they were referencing Lenny Henry.

Right. I didn’t say Mueller would be coming after him for Federal crimes with the weight of his Special Investigator status.  A civil matter is what I was thinking.

No, of course not. But slander wouldn’t be out of the question.

In the real world you reference, my husband worked under Robert Mueller for several years. As such, my husband is well aware that Mueller is an intelligent, patient, and methodical man who knows how to prioritize issues.

I personally think Mueller is waiting for the fallout from the report to be over, and then he’ll hit back at him.  But in the meantime, the kid is playing out enough rope to hang himself.

I agree that they should have killed at least one larger character - Brienne was my most likely target, since Jaime and Tyrion are still in the running for being the valonqar-to-strangle-Cersei. And I feel like Sam, Pod, and Gendry should have been toast - but Sam is GRRM’s avatar (so plot armored, even though he…
