A hopefully-helpful tip, substituting a small amount of sugar for honey will also help soften your frozen dessert. Honey resists freezing, so I put a tablespoon in all my gelato and sorbet recipes.

I’m still partial to the 1980 version, maybe because it was the one we watched in class and pretty much just takes the dialogue right out of the novel, leaving it to the actors to make it more understandable through the outdated language. That said, Colin Firth....

Because I don’t want to enable jackasses? Because there might be some male eye candy? Because there might be less drunkenness (there at least couldn’t be any more)? Because when I want to watch rich, powerful, deeply shitty people who I actually share the planet with, I just turn on the news and see what the…

As a Fifth Element fan, I felt like I had to go see Valerian the week before (it was okay). I didn’t know Goodman had a voice role in it! Then the next week I got a second dose of surprise Goodman thanks to Atomic Blonde!

I’m still surprised there hasn’t been an Amerika (a terrible late-80s mini-series about the USA after the Soviets take over) reboot put into development. At the least, it would get plenty of media chatter and there’s more reason to revisit that topic than HBO’s Confederate. Also, the original Amerika was terrible but…

They want to hurt others but also be able to sigh heavily and say that the people they hurt did it to themselves.

I’ve yet to hear about any state clerks refusing to issue a marriage license because one of the partners was previously married and divorce is against their religious beliefs. Maybe the Little Sisters of the Poor just haven’t gotten to that.

I’ve been looking for a meme like that for ages.

You’re right about the commercial issues. The only dramas about people who aren’t rich that comes to mind are Shameless and Orange is the New Black, both shows on services that don’t rely on advertising. (There are comedies like The Middle, Speechless and maybe The Godlbergs — I haven’t watched it but it doesn’t look…

Like a dramatic version of the amazing Schitt’s Creek? I’d watch that.

(Forgot to say that I think Riverdale nicely captures the excesses of Peak TV-era storytelling.)

Fake breakfast sausage is the best fake meat. In dishes that use sausage as flavoring, it’s better than the real thing. (By itself the texture isn’t the same.) Trader Joe’s flavored fake burgers are good, too, tho they’re more like a burger-shaped nugget of x flavor.

The only good parts of that Dynasty trailer is that the genderbent Sammy Joe and Grant Show officially becoming a DILF. Dynasty was full of excess while this version looks like any other rich people behaving badly soap. Gossip Girl captured the excess of its time, this one looks like a warmed over idea of rich excess.

I’m loving this and hope it goes further. I want an Atomic Blonde that has more than two kickass women (a lot more than two!) I want Jessica Jones to have a love interest who is physically weaker than her but still portrayed as an equal. I want a GLOW reboot that gets cancelled when ratings drop and not because of…

Probably taking credit for racebending the West family.

I think that joke erases trans WoC and elevates an asshole like Caitlyn Jenner over trans activists like Laverne Cox, Janet Mock and Carmen Carera. If he wanted to make a joke about the media paying more attention to Jenner because she’s white, that would be fairly spot-on but this one is a miss for me as an…

I think Chapelle is held to a higher standard because he was treated by the media as a rare comedic voice that speaks about race with insight and wit, showing a delicate touch when making jokes based on stereotypes. From there, he was portrayed as extremely principled for walking away from a huge paycheck out of…

Just look at their competition. ABC’s brand is diversity from the Shondaland and faux-Shondaland dramas to their family comedies, Fox has been equating diversity with edginess for decades and The CW has characters of color like Iris West, Jane Villanueva and Josh Chan (and is debuting Black Lighting soon). (Also, I…

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a large number of the Maher/Dawkins variety of evangelicals were among the people angry that the new Bill Nye series had plenty of social issues and complained about it not staying true to science (which, to be clear, the show did follow science just science they choose to…
