Yeah, I'll use any excuse to watch all of "Buffy," too.

A lack of cookie dough or great sex.

So very, very true.

Yes! I couldn't agree more! I was irritated as shit with the Moneypenny change. Also, that whole sex-slave, but hey, I'll be your hole to fuck was just flesh-crawling bad. And I was pissed that they replaced Dench's M with a man. Sure, Fiennes is a great actor, but there are basically no women in power positions…

I am on the mend, thank you! It's going to take about five more months for the sprained chest muscle to heal and when I try to sing, it brings on the coughing again. Maybe that's the universe telling me I shouldn't sing. But the bronchitis and pleurisy are gone, so, yay!

Thank you. You know why I give Buffy a huge pass on this one? Because she's the fucking slayer and the slayer has magical powers. Unless your main character has super powers, don't have a 105 pound 5'2" actress with no apparent muscle definition beat the shit out of five people. Unless she was snorting PCP. Then…

Yeah, I was pretty happy with Casino Royal and how women were portrayed — you know, for a Bond film. But the last two films have been such a step backward. Skyfall is especially bad in how it treats the female characters.

There's a wonderful documentary that just came out for the 50th anniversary of the Bond films. They interviewed all the Bonds and Dalton's interview was just amazing. That man is a real actor (Hello, The Lion in Winter) and his remarks on the character of Bond were so interesting and thoughtful. I've always thought…

Gene Kelly had one of the best asses ever. Seriously, you could put a tea tray on it.

Publish or perish?

Damn, I hope you feel better soon and that it doesn't cost you a fortune.

Get pleurisy and then sprain a chest muscle from coughing so hard. Good times. Oh wait, my last two months.

so, very, very close...

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm a little older than you and I'm not a fan of the female gender specific "c" word, though I do swear a lot. (There has been one time I did refer to a certain Republican House member as a c*nt, but I was provoked by their horrific voting record and brain dead remarks about well,…

Wel, I'm really not that rotten...

Yeah, I wear a modern size 4 - sometimes a 6, and I wear a 12-14 in patterns. Also, people were just smaller sixty years ago.

Well, you got me, Jezebel is about all I get of gossip these days. (I did check out Celebitchy the other day which I used to read a lot.)

I'm not a fan of Hathaway, but this sounds like bullshit. I'm guessing she was having a wiggins about whether or not she would win the Oscar and heard about the similar dress and freaked. Not because she thought she'd suffer by comparison, but because anything would have freaked her out at that point.

Oh, it's that persistent myth that Monroe was a size 12, while not acknowledging that a size 12 in the '50s was much smaller than a contemporary size 12. Yes, she had weightfluctuations, but she wasn't a big girl by any stretch of the imagination. (Oh, and because she liked her clothing molded to her body, she was…

No, you assume that being hit over the head with a heavy-handed message was lost on me. It wasn't. Really, he got that job done in the opening sequence. If it took you an extra two hours to be edified, well, that's your look out. But, hey, super nice condescension there, cupcake.
