My mistake: Lucky Strikes? OK, then. I know that in private she used to hold her cigarette the way a man would (as in making a fist, like Bogey used to do), but unlike Bogey and all the rest, she didn't actually inhale.

Yes I've heard that rumour - it was one of Hollywood's most salacious pieces of unsubstantiated gossip that execs had a stag film with her and another actress in it, and it used to do the rounds of private parties. It's probably not true but it's credible because of all the shenanigans that used to go on back then.…

I came here to make the exact same point

You should probably also get a truckload of cigarettes (Pall Mall, I think, was Davis's brand)

"You're getting a Supreme Court nomination! … You're getting a Supreme Court nomination!! … EVERYBODY'S GETTING A SUPREME COURT NOMINATION!!!!!"

pinky swear?

Is it me or does the tone of Price Waterhouse Cooper's apology - saying that Cullinan "feels very, very terrible and horrible" and "we all feel very bad" - seem a little odd for a corporate press release? It sounds like something a kindergarten teacher would say to mollify a bunch of kids after one of them…

Well, The A.V. Club is certainly getting as much out of this whole 'Oscars disaster' thing as it can, isn't it? Will this week's Q&A be "What avenue did we not explore in our coverage of Envelopegate?"

Twitter: the internet equivalent of the schoolyard where everyone gathers round to watch a fight / pick a fight / egg on a fight.

I think the convention in both the Oscars and SAG is that the previous winner awards the prize …

or at the very least not have the Clap

"You're 28! Fuckin' 28! Do you know how long I had to wait to get my Goddamn Oscar? I was in my 40s! Twenty years killing myself for Marty putting my ass on the line for art. On. The. Line! Day-Lewis ignored me for 9 months in Rome on the set of Gangs; I froze my pecker off in the middle of fuckin' nowhere in Canada…

unless it's on a film set in the San Fernando Valley

Not sure I get the connection. Bale yelled at the DoP on the set of Terminator whatever it was called - that's hardly a crime. And Spacey may or may not have been in a known cottaging area (my God, do they still call it that, I wonder?) but would like to keep his personal life private. Those don't seem the same - in…

no problem, I should have addressed my point to Da Bard …

It's not yelling … it's alternative whispering
