"Kong: Skull Island" is a good popcorn movie with a very good cast.

"Snapped" on the Oxygen channel and pretty much every similar show on Investigation Discovery. My favorite sleazy ID show, several years ago, featured stories of naughty murderous housewives, and they actually got Susan Lucci to host it.

"Their first three blasphemous albums were fantastic, but then the fourth album used a swastika and we were out."

I read The Handmaid's Tale back in the 80s, and thought it was far-fetched. Now it seems prophetic and genius.

The Hallmark Channel movies really specializes in this. People in quaint villages who own tiny antique stores, bookstores, cafes, dress shops and bakeries — where business is so slow they can chat amiably with whoever wanders in — somehow generate enough income to afford glorious houses.

I love cinema but find the Oscars, and award shows in general, intolerable. Probably because the day after an award show, we have articles like this.

On the SNL 40th anniversary, Steve Martin included Jon Lovitz on the list of former cast members who were no longer alive. But he was doing it for laughs.

How hard is it to get the envelopes correct?

"Heartbeat City" turned The Cars into a lesser band but it seemed to have enhanced their bank accounts, so maybe they don't care.

I re-connected with an old college friend and found out he works in Hollywood, on musical scores. So I looked at his official bio and saw that he's altered his birthdate by ten years.

Even Bruce Springsteen got Detroit and Cleveland mixed up.

I'm glad people are figuring her out, but it's still maddening that she gets invited on to shows. I was hoping the CNN "thanks but no thanks" approach would become the norm with these dishonest shits.

I had a very good chicken quesadilla at Hooters, and I think it was because the store manager did something to it (extra chicken or something) since they had screwed up my original order. Otherwise, the food isn't even very good. It's like Applebees, if Applebees was staffed by NFL cheerleaders. I had one waitress who…

Britt Robertson was very good in a very awful series, Under the Dome. Glad to see she's doing a lot of other stuff.

Modern Family. But it wasn't death, it was just that every episode was the same.

Watched it. I think they've borrowed ideas from at least 50 other TV shows, because they hit every familiar note imaginable, with a lot of things just flying out of nowhere and not fitting. Trying way too hard to be edgy and sexy and mysterious and everything else. I don't mind re-imagining the Riverdale world, but…

So, when there's a policy I oppose — like repealing the ACA — I sit on the couch and eat Cheetos? No, sorry. There's stuff you can do. If a bunch of cranky Tea Party hillbillies can gum up Obama's administration, I think millions of Lefties can raise a stink as well.

That's fine. They are open supporters and adults, so they're in the ring.

Trump should be fought where it counts — on policy. Even if you think his kids are fair game (and yuck if you do), it's still beside the point.

I loved that show.
