apparently "they" could have done that if only if they'd ignored the vote tallies ….

Much like "wouldn't it be nice", I associate it with one's amazing, earth-shattering first-love, around age 14-16, back when "love is all you need" seems true enough

indeed. (there's a certain "18 going on 35" too knowing quality to this new rendition)

something like that … we were blessedly spared Kanye's reaction to her win, so there's that … I'm not understanding why Beyonce's mom introduced her "number" but it gave an extra-special indulgent amateur-hour "look at my kid, but I'm proud of all my children" quality to that very strange (pretty literal if you ask…

I finally got around to watching this …. Bolton is great … the "humor" is of lesser Mike Meyers/Adam Sandler/frat boy vulgarity … things that might have worked (Chocolatiere) did not due to a lack of focus and edge — that could have/should have played something vaguely like Rowan Atkinson's gift wrapper in Love…

I found myself wondering if Kellyanne understands that the Trumps aren't actually royalty …. (Not to mention that even real royalty in the 21st century have to play by various "rules")

and the Fugitive, the TV show was based on the Sam Sheppard case (who was the Jeffrey MacDonald (Fatal Vision) of my parents generation). Crucially, Sheppard was acquitted in a second trial (granted after 10 years in prison) because of prejudice resulting from pre-trial publicity.

nevermind

yes, in the Hispanic/Mexican food section, they have bulk spices in cellophane bags, including cinnamon sticks .. which are a bit coarser (bigger/thicker) than those in the neatly-labeled, more expensive name-brand baking/cooking spice displays … much cheaper and thus more suitable for potpourri and decorative uses …
N…

Soapdish ranks among the funniest movies of the last 50 years, imho… in a list that includes Animal House and probably excludes all of Adam Sandler and even Mike Meyers

I think it's a prejudice many of us are guilty of — the idea that the character (male or female) is simply "too good looking" to be credibly suffering or insecure or whatever. Exponentially so when when you mix in "rich" or "well off" … I confess to being over 50 and really not understanding the attraction of many…

Goode is an outstanding ensemble player … not pushing himself forward but certainly earning his keep, reliably interactive … There's a scene in the "Imitation Game" where he speaks to and encourages a room full of people that I found extraordinary … it was masterful. He also managed a stunning swashbuckling sort of…

well, at least someone was having a good time … actually he looks like a lot of fun!!
thanks for the link.

It's funny but it's true — I never understood Jude Law's attraction much (still don't) until I saw him in Cold Mountain where he was dirt covered… Kline has his whiskers and Brad Pitt works better in his "supporting roles" and/or with his various "disguises" … Odd how it works … Paul Newman's stunning looks seem to…

I think he also "makes it (acting) look easy" … perhaps too easy, too natural and effortless … his looks and likeability add to that …
Robert Downey Jr. Is an actor whose looks often surprise me … because I always remember him as much more handsome than he is … because he often "grows on you" in a role and becomes…

I've been imagining him in half a dozen Jeremy Irons roles as well … as I recall, he stayed in New York doing stage to be near his wife and kids … priorities priorities.

Tilda Swinton ended up like some big-black-widow-spider in this ending … I had thought momentarily she might be in danger when it came (inevitable) time for her to dump Paul … I ended up worrying about the (equally despicable) Paul … who would be "still standing" in two years? My money is on Marianne … how publicly…

It's largely saved by Kline, although I did wonder what he saw in her whiny self-pitying (her fiancee dumped her) self-absorbed self …

If only Kline weren't so gorgeous with that killer body …. Quite seriously, he is actually distractingly all-American-boy gorgeous. I guess it's not only women who have this problem … thinking of Nicole Kidman and Kiera Knightley whose acting is often sabotaged by an over attentive camera …
Keanu shares that problem ……
