...after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

Hi - Just a quick correction, Nicole Holofcener didn’t direct it, she wrote it. Marielle Heller directed the movie!

Many years ago, I saw a play called Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune, which starred Kathy Bates as a frumpy middle aged waitress who finds love and optimism with the diner’s attractive short order cook played by F Murray Abraham. Much of the play deals with her insecurities about being loved or desired. When…

Nicole Holofcener was the co-screenwriter, not the director (although she has directed other movies).

I think Moore would have been completely wrong for the part. I think Melissa was a better choice.

It’s hard to imagine Julianne Moore ever being wrong for a part. It’s equally difficult to picture anyone playing Lee Israel better than Melissa McCarthy did. Talk about a tour-de-force.

Manafort got 47 months. Seems a tad light...

And if a man wants to have a baby so damn bad, he has options that don’t infringe on another person’s rights— he can find someone with a uterus who also wants a baby, or he can look into surrogacy and adoption.

“Baby Roe was approximately six weeks old on February 10, 2017.” Then it isn’t a baby, it’s a fetus or clump of cells in a woman who isn’t a mother and chose not to become one at that point of time. This is enraging, the complete obliteration of the woman as anything but an incubator is horrible. I’m surprised they…

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

Ovarian cancer is another one that may go for a long time with no symptoms. And when symptoms do appear, they include vague things like “feeling full”. 

Yes. My dad died of it. We didn’t know he had it until it went into his liver. He was dead within two weeks of his diagnosis.The doctor called it a “silent killer.”

I think it just doesn’t present symptoms for a long while, and when it does they are kind of ‘eh, what? maybe? I guess I’m just tired’.

I love the old pros too. I am more excited about James McDaniel being in the cast of “Whiskey Cavalier” than any of the rest of them. It is also nice to see Ana Ortiz playing an FBI profiler.

“(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.” Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!

I assume he wears out his pearl necklaces from clutching pretty quickly.

I think knowing how long the body was left like that is very important. Did a couple cops discover the body, cover it, then go for help? Was the body sitting like that for 5 minutes or 5 hours? By the lack of details, I’m going to guess that it was left alone like that for an extremely short period of time and this is…

With you on the grilled cheese, never been a fan of tomato soup. Vegetable soup will do nicely.
