They’re consistent until you point out to them that Alabama has the highest per capita rate of death sentences. So they’re pro-some lives, not so hot on ones that have left the womb. So much for the governor’s statement that the new law “stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life…

We felt really honored to hear him ask William Friedkin a question at the Turner Classic Movies film festival a few years ago. He easily could have pulled the celebrity card and asked Friedkin backstage but he sat with all of us at Grauman’s to watch The French Connection and then waited his turn to ask a question…

And don't be THAT GUY who tips off the pre-tax total instead of the final bill. The difference is negligible and in the server's favor so be nice.

holy cow that looks like my pupper! I bet yours is super speedy like mine.

So true! They should up the challenge by making the models sit down, bend over, squat down - if the clothes still looked good then and the models could actually move inside the garments, that’s a more real-life test than just swanning down a runway. The clothes on PR in particular aren’t expected to be couture pieces…

Big plug for In the Dark - Season 1 is about a cold case child abduction but Season 2 is about the INSANE case of Curtis Flowers, who was convicted of murder 6 TIMES by the same DA but it was overturned 5 times, partly due to prosecutor misconduct. The case was accepted by the Supreme Court who heard oral arguments…

There are two differences in the Stan and Ollie situation: 1) the person was going to have to look like someone who is very famous and so prosthetics were going to come into it anyway, and 2) Reilly plays the character at two different eras and weights so there were two different suits. Even if you had hired a larger…

I remember hearing an interview with Jenna Fischer who played Pam on The Office. She said she was going out to audition for the part of an average-ish nurse and her casting director friend told her to dress up, not down for the part. She said but I’d be playing an average person - her friend said yes but the (most…

Amen to this. (See also: soy and nut “milks”) I am a meat-eater also but the vegan/vegetarian restaurants I love best just make good veggie dishes and don’t try to imitate meat dishes or approximate non-dairy “cheese” (shudder).

Are they super-smart? Or just super-rich?

The way this article is written is confusing - the statement is about Nan Warshaw, not Loveless.

Fun fact: June Havoc was a silent film star as a baby and her sister was Gypsy Rose Lee. June ran off with a boy in the family’s vaudeville act and her mother (Mama Rose) had the kid arrested, then showed up at the police station and tried to shoot him. June also wrote and directed a Tony-nominated play based loosely…

whoooooo boy ... that DeRogatis review is a classic, down to the last line:

They’re turned on by them. The fact that the wearers of yoga pants think they’re creeps is the rage-inducing part but that’s TOTALLY WITHIN THEIR CONTROL. We see your barely contained rage. Quit it and maybe a girl will talk to you instead of crossing the street to get away from you.

A few visits from the FBI could be enough for someone who thinks he is so smart and flying under the radar to understand that people are watching him. They can’t lock him up but they can ask questions about those past incidents, ask about the songs and why he wrote them -he will infer they have a file and are keeping…

OH GOD. I’m watching and I’m like “it’s not that bad” then a minute thirty and you think “oh no.....why is she acting like that? there is a stool and mike CLEARLY THERE FOR HIM.” Then it hits 3 minutes 20 and I audibly groaned here at work. It’s like watching a trainwreck. I made it to six minutes thirty and the air…

Your second paragraph answers your question. People read these like fan fiction (exhibit A = my mother.) It's the version of celebrity life they want to be real. Feuding! Clothes! Children! Lovers' quarrels! If it was fact-based it would be boring.

Especially with 2020 elections getting closer. They're already stained with the shit he has pulled so far but if they continue to humor him, it will hurt them in a big way long term.

Flora Robson is an underrated treasure - she’s my favorite in Black Narcissus, so sweet and so sad.

I am in a similar boat. I live in the Bay area with plenty of theaters to choose from but the temporary credit card number the app issued to me didn’t work no matter which kind of card I tried to process it as (Amex, Visa, Mastercard). I got into a circular conversation with their customer service via email to try to…
