Thank you. Marisa Tomei never became a huge star, but she has stayed a consistently employed, respected actress, and has been TWICE nominated for an Oscar since her win (In the Bedroom and The Wrestler). A pretty enviable career, I would say.

Erin has done a great disservice with this poorly written and vetted article. Read about the actual court cases. No SRA, no occult trappings or paraphernalia, no "cult"; just two guys accused of molesting their own children and one other. The pastor's alleged victims, his own sons, recanted during the trial of the…
Not so fast. I'm skeptical, especially of the way this case was originally spun in the media versus the actual settled charges and convictions obtained. This whole thing started with a confession by a clearly mentally unstable man; two of the alleged victims, the pastor's own sons, recanted in 2008. While that in…
I'm just going to post this again, since you evidently missed it: When I work long hours all week, then have reggae and hip hop blasting all night Friday and Saturday and then the church invades my apartment all day Sunday, am I really supposed to accept that because I'm not rich I'm not entitled to any rest or quiet…
So I've been told. It sounds great to me. (I have a friend I went to high school with in Texas who lives in Astoria with his girlfriend. He's an actor and improv comedian; she's a burlesque dancer and sometime waitress. I keep telling him Astoria is more suited to their lifestyle than mine. I am an old). But my…
The ridiculous thing is that if they just reversed the layout of the room and put the pulpit at the other end, there would be no problem. Its just a bunch of folding chairs; no pews that have to be unbolted or anything. The other end of the room is next to a fence, not a building, so no one would have to hear it. …
I live next to a church in Bed Stuy. Every Sunday is ruined because even though it is a small storefront building, they use amplified instruments and microphones during their service, which starts at 10 a.m. and ends at an indeterminate time, sometimes 1 p.m., sometimes going until 4 p.m. The sound of drums and bass…
I agree completely. And I am a black woman who moved to Bed Stuy because it was what I could afford and where the brokers showed me when I moved here from Texas with my BFF. I am not the right person for Bed Stuy. I grew up in a whisper quiet suburb in Texas, and the gathering in the front of the bodega, dominoes…
This is so accurate. He has this saturnine beauty, but his voice is what sex would be if it were purely aural.
Strange. I didn't find it hard to get excited at all. Especially after I saw Ken Watanabe. It became miraculously easy after that.
It makes a HUGE difference. People are reacting to this as if she wrote an essay. It's ludicrous if you hear her words, spoken, in context. Speaking in the second person personal, especially about a painful issue from which you need a bit of emotional detachment, is hardly a new form of communication.
Am I the only one here who realizes that Gabby was MAKING A TV APPEARANCE? She DID NOT WRITE THIS; these are her spoken words. In the context of the conversation, it's very clear she's speaking for and about herself, not all women. She's also spoken in the past about how she realized she got a great deal of…
Seriously? Alex Constantine, 9-11 truther and conspiracy theorist who thinks OJ Simpson was set up by the Mafia and the LAPD? Dave McGowan, who believes serial killers are actually government-programmed assassins and that some of the Boston bombing victims had faked injuries as part of some kind of "false flag"…
Keep reading upthread.
Yeah, most contracts have morals clauses, but the language can vary a great deal, especially when it comes to actual behavior versus a social media presence. However, I can't imagine any network is too eager to hear about a star of one of their shows virtually shouting, "Fuck you, fat pussies! We don't need you to…
You should read more of his feed. His vocabulary ascends to the lofty heights of "pussy", "shit-eating", "loser" and "fat-ass". He goes on and on about his adopted black child, holding the kid up like a shield against accusations of racism. And my favorite part is when he stomps his feet and shouts about how he's…
Oh, it's coming. He thinks he's crossed over to the "mainstream", but not to the degree he imagines. The black audiences that loved him because he talked openly and freely of his love for a black woman are not going to be impressed with this. It's sad to say, but she was part of what got him through the door with…
You know how some things are worded just right, and they hit you at just the right place and at just the right time? Yeah, that's your post for me today.
I think I may idolize her...just a little bit.
I've only enjoyed Shutter Island (mainly because of Mark Ruffalo) and The Departed. Gangs of New York was so miscast except for Daniel Day Lewis, who was brilliant. Leo was totally too young for Howard Hughes in The Aviator, and please, please don't let this planned biopic of Sinatra happen!! I wish they would be…
