Here’s the joke he told her: “You know why Barbara shaved her bush? Because I told her I wouldn’t eat broccoli.”

Personally, I’d include Lloyd Price. Of course there’s still a lot of pop singers from the 1950s still alive – Neil Sedaka, Dion, Don Everly, Connie Francis, Pat Boone, Paul Anka, Brenda Lee – but I assume you’re not thinking of them.

Oh - and Kurt Vile. It’s his real birth name, and the similarity to Kurt Weill is merely a coincidence.

My favorite is the drummer from X: DJ Bonebrake.

On the one hand, we need to be adults, accept that a film may sometimes show us something we don’t want to see, and do our homework if we’re sensitive to something. To expect the MPAA ratings board to predict what will trigger you, and to warn you thusly, can easily reach a point of absurdity (i.e. “I can’t deal with…

Kite-eating tree: burned to the ground. Snoopy’s doghouse: burned to the ground. Schroeder’s piano: burned to the ground. Linus’s blanket: burned to the ground. Charlie Brown’s sad but meaningful little Christmas tree: you guessed it – burned to the ground.

Nice attention to detail, but in all fairness, my friend’s “costume” choice was years before Brahe’s 2010 exhumation and analysis, back when it was still believed that his nose was silver.

One time a friend of mine showed up at a Halloween party dressed in his normal clothes, except with a piece of aluminum foil taped around his nose. He said “I’m Tycho Brahe” and swore that everyone would get it. At the end of the evening, he told me, “You were right. Nobody got it.”

Think of all the women you’ve ever worked with. How do you know for certain which of them have been assaulted, or even hit on, by one of your bosses? If they didn’t tell you, does that mean there’s nothing to tell? They might think you’re a cool guy, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to trust you with their…

I won’t defend the film’s relative lack of diversity – though for what it’s worth, out of the surprisingly small main cast, Dave Bautista is half-Filipino, and of course Ana De Arma is Cuban and there are cameos by Edward James Olmos, Wood Harris, Lennie James and Barkhad Abdi – but from a narrative level, it could be…

How does one flag an account on Kinja? If I flag a comment, my only 3 choices are harassment, hate speech, or spam. Which is best to choose, in order to communicate to mods that this is a troll account?

They were at the Grammys as recently as 2009. Have they since said that they’re going to shun awards shows? The only band that’s ever snubbed RNRHOF was the Sex Pistols. I don’t think Radiohead feel the same way.

That’s very true, though that didn’t stop Dusty Springfield and Brenda Lee from being inducted. And Kate Bush has had a much bigger influence than either of them. That said, I doubt she’ll be inducted.

Well, she had his baby in February. I guess she’s not one of those women who immediately hit the gym after childbirth to get rid of the baby fat. I hope you can deal with that.

Everything he’s directed except Death Proof has been insanely profitable, so I’d say yes.

I agree. Even as a lifelong Democrat with zero support for this disastrous administration, I can’t participate in this “How Shall We Hate Trump Today?” mentality. So much time and energy wasted over trivial matters. Look at how much attention was given to “covfefe” - I mean, how petty can you get?

I’m probably a snob, but I was underwhelmed by most of the choices in the video – all too obvious! – so I was happily surprised by Bella Heathcoate’s more offbeat choices and her all-around good taste.

Can we have a version of The Big Sick where Kumail Nanjiani gets bored of hanging out in the hospital and spends the rest of the movie with Vella Lovell?

You’re drawing a false parallel. The murder of Silent Movie owner Lawrence Austin did not “stem from some extreme drama within the community”. Austin’s friend (and likely lover), Silent Movie projectionist James Van Sickle, wanted Austin’s $1 million estate, so he paid a teenager named Christian Rodriguez $25,000 to…

Your comment implies that the nonwhite winners did not actually deserve their awards. Do you really want to go there?
