All a woman needs in her purse going out on the town is a $100 bill and a gram of cocaine.

Dowd dropped his review so damn early, I guess he was hoping for a pull quote in the ads.

Class.   

This is driving me nuts! Is anyone going to offer Jamie Lee Curtis a lite?

There is only one, maybe two, but definitely not three.

.........and so I am open to whatever intentions the show has with this reinvention of the role.

That had to be one of the most incredibly directed and edited hours of television in recent memory. Stephen Williams can take a bow. The craftsmanship that was constantly on display, most especially in the first 30 minutes had me riveted. The partial sets, the split focus, the jump shots, the framing it was…

I forgot he played Kennedy! I was so whiplashed the actress who played Jackie, her god-awful hair and that classless frumpy gown.

You’re asking the wrong crowd.   Most of us can’t get past  “jumbo shrimp”.

I also think back on how Morgan/The Crown portrayed Jackie Kennedy last season during her visit with the President.

Marie Osmond, Debbie Boon and.......umm...........that may be it

This was my most favorite episode of the season and likely in the top 3 of the series. Finally, an episode bursting with emotions, scale, humor, life and the phenomenal Helen Bonham Carter, equal measures messy, campy, seductive, magnificent.

I know this is a highly pitched drama mounted at great expense, but I can’t help but think the showrunners clearly feel a need to lower the show to an almost soap opera level. Camilla Shand wasn’t a commoner, her “line” if you will came from a baron. So the skull-duggery of her not being suitable, a family coup…

Are they hatched or born?

Thanks, I was feeling  I walked this plank alone.

You might find this interesting reading. I was kind of surprised how unimpressed the Queen actually was regarding the mission

I don’t see your point. The meeting NEVER happened. It was used as a preposterous conceit to address a supposed mid-life crisis for Philip. What happened in real life had no bearing in the context of the show. The writers created a personality for the astronauts we know is wrong to mirror a fictitious plot device for…

This just in:

USA! USA! USA!

I can’t recall any episode of The Crown that infuriated me as much as this episode. I’ll just cut to the chase. To use the Apollo 11 crew in an utterly fictitious manner to articulate Philip’s mid-life crisis (even if that was true) pissed me off. Maybe I am being the defensive American, but the puerile and fatuous…
