Jessica Lange's character has been described as "an expatriate German". She's playing the freak show proprietor.

The Ravens have released him from his contract: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/09/spo…

No problem. Yes, Visa and others who back debit cards want you to run it as credit, but there are a lot of businesses that have started giving discounts to customers who use and run their debit cards as debit. The whole structure of fees, credit vs. debit, is going to hav to be revisited soon, as many parts of the…

Thank you, I am aware of the differences between how a debit transaction and a credit transaction are processed on the bank/credit issuers end of things. You seem to be missing the point I was making, as well.

I don't think Ellis believed that AP was adaptable, but in that case....why sell the movie rights? I tend to agree: it's 200+ pages of name brands, grooming regimens, and an unreliable narrator who may or may not be a psycho killer. I think the movie removes a lot of important ambiguity as to whether he actually…

I, too, cherished her novels in high school. But following her on Facebook put an end to any remaining warm fuzzies I had about her. I had given up reading her books somewhere around Merrick, and now, after going on and on about how she's given her life and writing to Christ, she's releasing another Lestat book. I am…

It was a real kick in the ass for me, because it was FDA-approved the year I turned 26.

Since pharmaceutical companies have stated that the labeled use is for men and women under 26, practically all insurance companies view the vaccine for anyone over that age as off-label and not medically necessary. I suppose the thought process is that by 26, if you've already been sexually active, then you've already…

I, too, saw Rocky Horror Picture Show before I was 10, and I don't recall when I started picking up everything that was thrown down in that flick.....probably because I watched it a few times a year. Grease, however, used to be my jam when I was a kid, and then I went several years without watching it. Then, when I…

It's also a possible interpretation that they had actually already paid for their food. Someone else on this thread posted a photo from the Yelp account of the restaurant. It looks like a small town pizza joint, and I don't know about you, but my local pizza joint requires that you order at the counter, PAY, then sit…

Don't all Israeli citizens of able mind and body have to serve two years in the IDF? Look, I really hope she does well as Wonder Woman, but it would have been nice if they had cast an actress with the height and physicality to stand toe to toe with Superman. And if her performance in the Fast and Furious movies is any…

My husband has to take a CPR and defibrillator course to get his personal training certification. He wants me to go with him and get mine, and I didn't really want to, but you know.....it's a pretty good thing to know.

The article states that the server brought them their food in to-go containers and asked them to leave. This means that they hadn't actually received any services prior to her changing the diaper. If she mentioned to them: "hey, you don't provide a changing table in your bathroom, I need to take everyone to my car so…

As I recall, they made it because the rights were about to revert back to Anne Rice and she didn't intend to sell them again (at least not until now).

This movie was doomed no matter who was involved because it was slapped together at the very last minute as the rights were about to revert back to Anne Rice. As a big Anne Rice fan in my high school and early college years, I recall a LOT of heated message board posting about the progress of this abomination of an…

I hadn't even thought about Daredevil! You're right!

Dark Knight Rises was such a huge let down for me. So, Bruce Wayne obviously didn't hang up the cape right away after DK, since the Batcave under Wayne Manor was completed between Dark Knight and DKR. He apparently continued to be an integral part of Wayne Enterprises, since he championed the reactor thing/MacGuffin…

I've read all of the books, so I know what happens to Sookie in the end. I won't spoil it :)

I haven't had a chance to get to the second book yet, but if they HAVE to make a Miss Peregrine movie, I can't think of a better actress than Eva Green to play her. A bit too young, but I've never seen her be anything but fantastic in genre roles.

Great minds do think alike, I was replying to your Jessica marriage post while you were replying to my Sookie.
