I have watched Umbrella more than is likely healthy for a person. And you are absolutely right, Allison, it works because he is all in on it. It wouldn’t be Rihanna if it weren’t sexy, and he somehow keeps the sexy and the wink to the joke. I read somewhere that his only regret was not being able to do it in heels.…

Hughes didn’t comment on the best part of that Rock clip. As Cage steels himself, noting that his wife WAS the prom queen, Connery’s “Really?” is equal parts bemused/patronizing, really cementing the character.  

Or one in particular, who might have reason to be on Tatooine at this time, relating to an unexcuted order.  

You lived in Whiting?

I really should quit harping on this, but is there anyone else in Hollywood who would have been cast more “against type” in this than Armie Hammer? I mean, I know that actors get paid to not be themselves, but what in Hammer’s filmography gave anyone any inkling this could work? Iggy doesn’t say he’s terrible though,…

I guess we always have enough left over from handing out that the kids have never balked about sharing.  They keep a few things they know they want for themselves, then it all goes into the cauldron for communal consumption.  

I think it’s the second one with Andy McDowell where they get boozy with expensive wine and engage in the most earnest performance of “Hard to Believe We’re in Heaven.” It’s cheesy as all hell but lord if Matt Bomer doesn’t sell that shit like puppies and hot chocolate. The PERFORMANCES are fun, but get a little…

Does it have to be the whole song? This is so charming that I don’t care how short it is.  The music starts at 1:45.

He’s more of a Baxter than a bad guy in “Liar, Liar.”  That’s the right Jim Carey movie, isn’t it?  

I don’t like the “bubble” of the hood. It looks like the battery exploded and warped it.

No, but I’m saying don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.  I’ll take a few bad DeNiro outings if it gets us the occasional McCarthy Spicer glory.  Keep swinging for the fences.  

Camus in public spaces is definitely a litmus test.  Heaven help you if you mispronounce it.  

How did you not mention this little golden nugget?

How about a plethora?  Would you say I have a plethora?

Goddammit.  Remember, when somebody facetiously asks if this year could get any worse, remind them the answer to that question is an unqualified yes.  RIP, Justice, nobody fought harder and earned that rest more than you.  

It’s stunning to look at. Keira’s green dress earns it’s attention. I’ve always wondered how people who read the book first felt about it, if it had the same emotional devastation. ***SPOILERS***I knew something wasn’t right from his story. You don’t survive a wound like he had. But when the twist came, I was…

Atonement. If you haven’t read the book and don’t know what’s coming, it can wreck you. I had to watch pride and prejudice twice afterwards to get rid of that awful feeling.

Eh, I don’t know about hating the Texans. The only team that KC fans universally hate is the Raiders, maybe the Broncos, depending on how old you are.

Then shut up and leave already, no one will miss you.  

I am so, so sorry. As a chiefs fan, I own the fact that we have some shitty, shitty fans, as do most teams, but I’m sure we have a higher percentage. I wasn’t there, but I’m not going to try to make excuses for those people or try to cover it up. I can only hope that the players stick to their guns and push the…
