Madonna has clearly always preferred particularly young men; that’s nothing new. But she never seems to learn how to get the media on her side in these matters. She should learn from the all-time queen on the subject...

I just got home from the theater. Will 100% have a crying hangover. I think Saorise captured Jo’s discontent. I LOVE the 1994 version, but Winona was a whiny Jo. The jumping plot was confusing for the older women in the audience that didn’t know it well.

Addendum: I do believe with my whole heart that it is time we let poor Emma Watson grow up.

So of course there's outrage. I really don't understand outrage or cancel culture. It's so mean spirited and hollow. Very Emperors new clothes. Guess what, you're all naked!

William Goldman wrote a book on the making of A Bridge Too Far, and in it he has a brief aside about great screenwriting. He singles out the scene where Rocky discovers his locker has been given away - Rocky comes in, works the combination on the lock, it doesn’t open. Without hesitating, he takes off his hat and…

Google is your friend. The discourse is out there- you don’t need to ask to be spoon-fed. 

The famous scene where Paulie throws Adrian’s turkey in the alley originally had a followup scene.

To paraphrase the tagline of a different ‘70s film:

The one thing I will say for it is that the boxing is even more unrealistic in the sequels. The Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago fights are more cartoonish than Thor and Hulk fights.

I’d argue that Creed isn’t quite Ali, as he is still presented as a family-friendly jingoist who cares quite a bit about his image and marketability and only tells Rocky about his rough upbringing after they get to know each other. I can’t imagine Creed having much to say about Vietnam. Ali had an angle to play, but…

“Rocky isn’t really a movie about Rocky Balboa fighting Apollo Creed”

“Okay, so Gregory Peck learns that his young son is really the antichrist and that he has to kill the kid with a mystical dagger.”

I’ve personally seen this with both Buddhist communities and Native American communities that centered around charismatic men. Just stay away from male “spiritual” teachers of any discipline. It’s not worth the risk, psychological damage, or crisis of faith. It’s probably good to stay away from female teachers as…

Citric acid powder is my new secret weapon. I imagine that its action is chemically similar to vinegar.  It is amazing. A little goes a LONG way too. 1/2 teaspoon in my dishwasher completely mitigates the hard water problems I get.

I feel I must point out that, crysta chandeliers and $900 bottles of wine aside...

You...you don’t clean your shower/tub? You think cleaning your shower with an appropriate cleanser is squandering money?? This comment is fascinating/baffling.

I recently reread Harry Potter and I forgot how fucked up the discourse around Elven slavery is in those books.

In a search for the term “petulant brat” (first phrase that comes to my mind here), three of the first five links included a picture of Meghan McCain.

The so-called “Squad”—comprised of....
