Two of those three kids don't have fathers. Madonna adopted them on her own. And you really need to ask why kids would want to stay in their home while their parent goes off to work, rather than have their entire life disrupted? How about school, extracurriculars, friends? And where are they supposed to go, exactly?…

Well, Dreamgirls was a thinly-veiled bio of the Supremes, and the Supremes were pretty specifically black. So I personally would have no problem with a casting notice for the Dreams that called for black women only. But Hamilton has a very diverse cast. I don’t see why white people can’t even be considered.

In fact, that’s exactly what it said. “NON-WHITE” means whites need not apply.

And the last time I saw “Merchant of Venice,” Al Pacino was playing Shylock, and he was amazing. Really. It’s like all his over-acting of the past 30 years just disappeared. He imbued Shylock with such humanity, that I really felt for him and understood his actions. As opposed to the over-the-top, mustache-twirling…

That anecdote supposedly occurred during the filming of “Marathon Man,” and the famous British actress was Laurence Olivier.

That should have read “not” the Wolves.

Dwight was a member of the Saviors, hit the Wolves.

I don’t like it when they film in my neighborhood, either. Let’s face it - it’s a royal pain in the ass. Whenever I see one of those signs announcing upcoming filming on my street, I cringe. But to be fair, the studios were there first. And complaining about them shooting in your area is like moving into an apartment…

According to Wiki, he's Canadian.

TBH, that surprised me, too. I assumed Michael was Anglo until I heard his last name. But I’ve known (naturally) blond-haired, blue-eyed Puerto Ricans, so it really shouldn’t have surprised me. Wonder what Brett Dier’s nationality is IRL?

Studio City? You mean the area that was literally named for all the studios that exist and shoot their shows there? And they’re shooting, you say? Those bastards!

Not sure Michael is Anglo. His last name is Cordero, which sounds Latino to me. There are light-skinned and -haired Latinos, you know.

Thanks. I needed that.

It never ceases to amaze me that those who advocate remedies from the old days conveniently ignore that in the old days, a fuckton of people died young.

Well, as long as he didn't become autistic, I guess that's the important thing.

I think what’s creepiest is that her dad KNOWS. He KNOWS. Does he, like, check in with her regularly to make sure she's still intact? Is this an oral exam or a physical one? Either way, ew. Just ew.

ITA. I’m sorry I wasn’t clearer about that. What this cop did was an outrage, and I hope there is something that he can be charged with. Regardless of whether OJ can be tried again, the public deserves to know whose, if anyone’s, DNA is on that knife.

Genie Francis and Jonathan Frakes are long-time marrieds.

Well, that, and the fact that OJ was found not guilty and cannot be tried again, no matter what evidence was found. I’m surprised at how many people I’ve talked to today who do not know that. Still, it doesn’t excuse what the officer did. Regardless of whether it can be used or not, it’s evidence. It doesn’t belong in…

He was found liable, not guilty. In a civil trial, there is no question of guilt or innocence - only liable or non-liable. And the standards are much lower - “a preponderance of the evidence” vs. “beyond a reasonable doubt.” As it should be.
