Is there any reason to think that Dory Previn would have condoned child abuse just because the child would have been related to Mia Farrow? That’s a pretty unnecessary inference.

Cannot star this hard enough. I want to leave a longer comment, but I am so enraged by our city (and state) administration all the bloody time, that I can’t be sure it’ll be coherent.

I promise you, there’s more of us.

To be fair, Pattie Boyd felt pretty abandoned by George at that point, so Clapton’s pretty blameless there. I shall continue to blame him, however, for squandering the promise of his work in Cream.

That’s absolutely fascinating. And so, so sad.

Not to be flippant, but her entire life was a succession of interesting facts - and many of them having nothing at all to do with her sex life! /s

How did you manage to not feel let down by <i>Crimson Peak</i>?

Acceptance is the first step on the path to recovery! You dared to love Skull Island, and, in daring [something something I lost my thread of thought]. Bottom line: your taste in film is excellent.

Polyeznaya dura, since there’s only one of her, but yes.

That gif is a delight and I thank you most humbly. Please accept this star as a small token of gratitude.

Steve Buscemi >>> Marky Mark every day and twice on Sunday.

New Yorker (and former GW Bridge-adjacent resident) here. Hoping that every word of this story is true.

Make that calorie-free ice cream sundays, and you’ll have my vote. That double-guitar portion of the platform was, like, already fire.
