Studios these days seem to be fixated on doing nothing but superhero franchise movies (or close relatives thereof) and have forgotten there’s a sufficient audience base to support a ‘women being friends with other women’ genre. Why does Black Widow have no female friends? Well, that’s overstating things slightly.

I read on another site that this guy dropped out a his no-name college’s poli-sci classes because he was getting ‘D’s. Isn’t political science usually an easy A no brainer course?

More reshoots? I’ve reminded of the down-east joke about ‘dad’s old ax’, which goes something like this. “Dad’s old ax is the greatest tool, it never wears out no matter how much it’s used. We’ve had to replace the ax handle three times and the ax head twice but dad’s old ax just keeps on going.”

The 79 year old Kim Hye-ja starred last year in the series ‘Radiant’ (alt titles ‘Dazzling’ or ‘The Light In Your Eyes’) which contained such a profound and disturbing twist ending that the shaken show recapper (on another site) had to take a two month break before working up the courage to come back to discuss the

Biden doesn’t get asked ‘hard questions’ because Biden doesn’t have a track record of openly encouraging domestic terrorism, of abducting infants and enslaving them, of charging extortion rents on his own properties that the DNC is then obliged to pay, of literally divulging state secrets to Russia’s top spymaster IN

Second case in point. Ricky Gervais. Letterman was cheerfully irreverent. Gervais was downright hostile.

Everything needs to be seen in context. Compared to subsequent awards shows the 1995 Oscars doesn’t look half bad! Remember when Robin Thicke’s marriage imploded after the disgraceful MTV music awards show performance in 2013?

I recall reading that Grant considered himself much too old to be chasing ingenues around Paris. His next film in ‘64 was ‘Father Goose’ playing a crotchety old hermit living alone on an Island in the South Pacific when the war broke out.

20+ years ago I got hired for an entry level position in an advertising firm. The first group meeting I recall we were explicitly ordered to do no work for dot-com companies unless they showed us the money first. As an aside, they told us the same policy applies to doing work for politicians running for office too.

The phrase ‘Trump haters’ refers to anyone who isn’t criminally insane. So what’s YOUR excuse for liking the rapist traitor criminal?

Trump’s lack of self-awareness is astounding. This reminds me of the Woodward interview where Trump didn’t for one moment realize he was coming across as a low-intellect fool. He thought he was charming the pants off him!

My white privilege has landed me in an efficiency apartment living off my social security check.

That’s a baseless assumption.

Let’s bear in mind this is a COMIC BOOK MOVIE. Children’s reading that used to sell for twelve cents at the corner store.

Rhimes should be nice to the network that let her shows run twice as long as they really had ought. ‘A Disney pass for your sister? Not after those final two seasons of Scandal!’

I suspect this isn’t the only venture that will learn the meaning of the term ‘saturated market’. I can imagine a number of well known platforms will soon run into trouble after people grow bored with reboots of old sci-fi series premises. Sure they’re successful, but are they successful enough to cover the high

So few ‘reasonable’ things to talk about these days, so many ‘unreasonable’ things to discuss.

To give you an indication of just how personal the Citizen Kane grudge got, I recall a story about that iconic word ‘rosebud’ that so enraged John Randolph Hearst. Rosebud was’t the name of Kane’s first sled, it was Hearst’s pet name for Marion Davies’ ...um ...ladybits.

I’m reminded of a scene from the old series ‘Ally McBeal’. The short nebbish boss tells his friend that he’s afraid his girlfriend (Portia de Rossi) is only dating him for his money. The friend replies ‘Wasn’t that WHY you earned all that money, so women like that would agree to sleep with you?’

Dang, this is one of those movies I was sure that I had seen but I haven’t seen it at all. I must’ve confused the title with something else entirely. Something so bad that I ignored the movie completely. My mistake!
