Yep. He played the signature lead, hook, and slide guitar parts of Layla that everyone assumes “God” wrote and played. I was amazed to learn that out of an authorized Clapton biography film. I have an older friend who is a self-taught guitar player that thinks Clapton is the greatest ever (whereas trained guitarist…

Actually other people were all over the signature elements of that song. He wrote the main song as a ballad, but his bandmate Jim Gordon and Duane Allman changed it in to the classic rocker we all know. Allman wrote and played the signature opening hook and played the signature slide sections- not Clapton. The piano…

The way this season is reveling in torture-porn violence I’m surprised they weren’t sent to a facility to be come baby-birthing torsos. This is terrible.

He did have some pretty teeth. RIP to a fine and gutsy character actor. Imagine being a relatively new actor and your agent says, “Well there’s this action-adventure role you can have, with Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, but........”

I was on my HS paper in 1981-82. My Class of 830-soemthing students (95% White) had an election for Class President. The girl who was SGA President, an unpopular narcissistic piece of crap, ran and claimed to have finished in an exact tie against the favorite. She talked the class moderator in to letting HER…

You can even go to the nuclear option with 33 year-old Benny Mardonez MAKING OUT on the floor with an underage girl in his stalker video for “In to the Night”.

I equally don’t get how people errantly equate a twenty year-old having sex with prepubescent child of six, who doesn’t even know what a f***ing erection is, with having sex with a 16 year old who might look like a twenty year-old and be sexually active of their own accord. Please argue rights an wrongs and all…

That problem exists across the “star” platform. Many HBO mini-series productions are now produced by some famous actress or actor and the writing is often garbage. I work in Design as a consultant; my “star” clients do not listen to their employees or their consultants. Their egos will not tolerate the word “no”, and…

Spielberg redacted Lucas scene:

Well at least he’s a little better than Stephen King writing a gang bang scene for the girl in “It”. How his career survived that is beyond me.

She had to get back to the California drama they borrowed her character from. She did a nice “American” accent (she’s Australian) but the directors left a glaring hole with her completely punting on the native dialect that everyone else in the cast effectively shared.

The huge problem with the boy as the killer is the approximate 26 MILE round-trip, after-midnight, undiscovered, bicycle trip, complete with a detour to town to retrieve and replace a gun. Absolutely ridiculous contrivance.

No, but the child is already blogging in support of Trump.

God, not a second season of these beer-swilling, linguistic mangling morons. (Let’s ALL lie to the cops - particularly since she is our ex-wife, mother, daughter, cousin, mother-in-law, partner, best friend, teammate, neighbor..... ) We get it, Winslet nailed the character and the accent. Time to move on to other…

You will incur the wrath of the fanboys now. This was produced by a famous actress and was on HBO, it is therefore beyond reproach. Any criticism will be met with personal insults in 3,2....

Agree on the Original, although I thought CI was actually the best of the bunch. But I thought TBJ was bad and I really do not think much of Acevedo’s acting. He just never appealed to me.

I always disliked SVU any time I bothered to watch it. The acting seemed ham-fisted and way too preachy compared to the others, but…

So a 12 year-old concocts a murder plan around 10:00 PM after copping his dad’s cell phone. He makes a 13 mi round trip by bicycle with a side stop to retrieve a gun somewhere past midnight. He waits, argues with the girl, shoots and kills her there. Rides 13 + miles back to replace the gun and go home - and no one…

You know how you set up your guesses in Clue by guessing with some of your own cards in your proposed solution? Well 39 years ago I was playing with my now-wife and her then-kid siblings and I made the first guess WITHOUT including any of my own cards. I just threw out a guess. Technically I did not call it out as a…

Let’s talk ridiculous logistics to go along with the heaping red herrings and plot holes. How did this young kid overhear his dad outside on the phone, (which had to be approaching 10 to 11 PM already), mull around to discover the text on Dad’s phone, slip away to ride in to town and steal the gun from the shed, and…
