Phenomenal article, Sarah, about one of the truly great TV shows.

This was an amazing trailer - evocative, exciting, a bit creepy. It just works.

Flawless victory.

A good biopic isn’t about ‘telling someone’s story’, but about telling a great story.

If anyone here is looking for a great, deeper dive of Lamarr’s life, the podcast You Must Remember This did a wonderful episode on her rise and fall:

I’d rather wait another year or two and get a good bill that supports the people than get a broken bill that would never, ever be fixed.

Short answer, yes with an if; long answer, no with a but.

Mutant in the context of the Marvel Universe specifically means Homo Superior, possession of the X-Gene or whatever they’re calling it right now. You can be a mutant and not be a Mutant.

Definitely looking forward to Romeo and/or Juliet. Loved To Be or Not To Be.

Go to most dedicated TV forums, places like the AVClub, and you’ll see that not only are people NOT being educated, they actively hate Effie and see her as the villain purposely undermining the creative impulses of Jason Mann.

Angela Lansbury’s daughter was in Charlie Manson’s Family, but Lansbury got her out before the killings began.

I’m in pretty much the same boat, but it’s nice to know what to expect on something like this.

From what I’ve heard, people who go in expecting any horror at all have been leaving disappointed. It’s apparently far more of a Gothic romance.

NO PATTERN TO SEE HERE GUYS JUST HEAD HOME RIGHT NOW THIS IS NOTHING BUT A SERIES OF UNCONNECTED, UNRELATED DOTS HANGING OUT IN MOSTLY ACCIDENTAL PROXIMITY ON THIS CHART. IT MEANS NOTHING.

A movie isn’t selling you hair dye; a commercial is. The problem isn’t that it was filmed out of order, but that they - according to this ruling - misrepresented what their product could do. The UK has stronger advertising regulations, if I recall correctly, than the US.

Oh, this isn’t a statement about my faith in the American voter. Rather, it’s a statement about my faith in how thoroughly the primary process is rigged to give us whatever candidate the GOP elite think stands the best chance of winning.

I genuinely don’t even think it’s possible for Trump to become President. I don’t even know if it’s possible for him to win the Republican primary. The system is so thoroughly rigged, even if his popularity holds, the GOP will almost certainly refuse to nominate him.

I’m ready for this. Come to me, film. COME TO ME.

Huh. I wonder if her petition to go to the 2005 men’s national match was the inspiration for one of my fave films, Jafar Panahi’s OFFSIDES, about a group of women arrested for dressing as men and trying to sneak into a men’s national game.

It only worked one time for me. In theology class in high school, one question was: “What is the only 100% proven way to prevent pregnancy from occurring.” You were supposed to write down abstinence, obviously, but I had a vested interest in not doing so, as I badly wanted to be having sex.
