That speech needs to be part of the highlight reel whenever Huston gets her Kennedy Center Honor. (I feel safe assuming this will happen at some point.)

I don’t think Georgia’s 14th will have to deal with Marjorie Taylor Greene much longer. Her bullshit obstructionism is starting to piss off members of her own party, so $100 says the RNC gets someone to primary that lunatic next year. She can crawl back into the obscurity of whatever Wine Moms Facebook group she came…

Nick Terry and My Favorite Murder already did it.

I was surprised to learn he’s employed in Great Britain. I was under the impression that he was one of those awful conservative dipshits that come across the pond to inflict themselves on Americans. (John Oliver makes up for some of that, but not even he can balance out the combined assholery of Morgan, Andrew…

I knew about the case thanks to an old—well, they’re all old now—episode of A&E’s City Confidential (narrated by the late great Paul Winfield, may his memory be a blessing). I finished the Netflix series last night and it left me with a craving for funeral potatoes. Hess himself is Mormon, so I wonder what his motive…

Carpenter has been saying Whedon abused her and fired her for getting pregnant for at least a decade.

I literally fell asleep the first time I tried to watch this movie and never tried again. The first one though, I watched it again a couple of months ago and that flick really holds up, if you are capable of strict compartmentalization re: Johnny Depp.

I’ve heard they’ve since updated the text of the book to adhesive napkins. I read it after I started menstruating (the women in my mother’s family all hit that milestone at a very young age) and even though it was only the mid-80s I was still completely baffled at this bizarre hygiene thing Blume was describing. I had…

Marjorie Taylor Green is not a senator. She represents Georgia’s 14th District in the House of Representatives. Do not assign this lunatic more power than she already has. That she has any is troubling enough.

I know there’s large chunks of it on YouTube. It doesn’t appear to be streaming anywhere, probably because the estate of Steven Bochco has paid them all off.

I was on painkillers last night for a pinched nerve, and I had a hard time falling asleep after Last Week Tonight because I kept thinking of the “I’m the... baby merchant! Tots R Us!” song and giggling. And not just the song, but the deeply uncomfortable facial expressions of the couple he was singing to. “That goes…

I don’t know who still needs to be told this, but racism can be internalized and POC can also be or act racist. (Not to mention that there are many non-white minorities in the US and it’s sadly not uncommon for one group to hate another. I have Jewish members of my own family who are way more vocal in their contempt…

I’m guessing it’s one of those things people just leave on in the background while they clean the house or build pillow forts or whatever they’ve got going on while they can’t/don’t want to leave their houses. Or old people died while watching it and it just kept auto-playing until their bodies were discovered, days…

Because they like Annie Hall and are lousy at compartmentalizing.

I’m pretty sure HBO has an army of lawyers who determine legality of stuff like this beforehand. Good luck with your lawsuit, publishing company I’d never heard of before they decided to publish the memoirs of the guy who took naked Polaroids of his long-term girlfriend’s barely legal adopted daughter.

Woody Allen had to see a therapist because his feelings for/actions towards his daughter Dylan were “inappropriately intense”. Very normal stuff! But sure, Dylan’s lying, Mia’s lying, the multiple family friends are lying, the prosecutor’s lying, everyone’s lying except the creep who took naked Polaroids of his…

I fired up Nomadland on Hulu as soon as I was done cleaning up after dinner on Friday. The only thing keeping me from cashing in my 401(k) for a customizable van is that all the seasonal labor Frances McDormand did in the movie looked incredibly physically taxing, and I have the knees of somone twice my age. 

Just started Erik Larson’s latest, The Splendid and The Vile, about WWII but with a focus on Churchill and his inner circle during the months of The Blitz.

Yeah I mean Christensen was pretty good in Shattered Glass. (It was arguably a much more shocking and convincing heel turn than the one he did in Sith.) Lucas is just a terrible director who can reduce even indie darlings like Portman to the emotional range of planks of wood.

I also got weird vibes from Emmanuel Dzotsi’s introduction, and then he hosted what, one episode and then seemed to disappear? Although new episodes have been kind of intermittent lately, I don’t know if it was because the Test Kitchen series was sucking up all the resources or what. But I immediately thought of him…
